US Helplines:

The conversation surrounding cultural appropriation has been so severely mutilated by white “allies” that the original intention behind that conversation has become almost unrecognizable in most social contexts.

just an fyi

israel has targeted communications and internet networks in gaza which effectively cuts of palestinians from the rest of the world

a significant drop in content across social media coming out of gaza in these last few days doesn’t mean the violence has stopped or that it’s over, it just means more voices are being silenced. it’s an active campaign by the israeli government to turn the world’s attention away. don’t let it fool you.

“hey trans men, trans mascs, enbies: be careful wearing your binder during this pandemic. one of the first symptoms of covid 19 is shortness of breath, respiratory issues etc. and binding can make any of these significantly worse. take care and breaks

if u feel worried about symptoms (and especially if u have asthma too) then be rly careful!! try and wear ur binder as little as possible

u are still handsome w/o it”

“Also it can make people underestimate their symptoms as they’re explainable bc of binding when they might actually be something else.”

Has anyone listened to the glee cover of smooth criminal recently because it slaps

Seriously though to help fight this corona bugaboo I’m gonna be donating a shitload of money to my local food bank.  All the overtime money I’m making by helping screen patients on my days off I’m giving away. If I get a $1000 government relief check I’m giving it away. Half of the money I usually stash in retirement savings I’m gonna give away instead. Since I’m single, live in a small cheap apartment, and have nothing to spend my money on that should be a lot. 

I’m really fortunate right now to be working in a job where I’m badly needed and making a good paycheck and have emergency money left over.  I know what it is like living paycheck to paycheck and can’t imagine living like that through a crises like this. I encourage all others in a similar situation to do the same. Please think of those less fortunate than you.

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
