An Answer Time With Dr. Rita Issa

Hey, Tumblr. How Are You Doing? We Hope You’re Staying Safe And Taking Care Of Yourself.

Hey, Tumblr. How are you doing? We hope you’re staying safe and taking care of yourself.

There’s been a lot of misinformation flying around about the coronavirus disease, or COVID-19. In an effort to help combat that, last week we surfaced some reliable sources (and mental health resources) over here in this post. This week we want to give you the opportunity to ask a doctor questions you need answered.

An Answer Time with Dr. Rita Issa

Dr. Rita Issa is a physician in London. She holds a diploma in tropical medicine, is a lecturer in public health, and has previously worked with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) and the World Health Organization.

Dr. Issa will answer questions on the COVID-19, as well as inform everyone on how we can become “super-preventers,” live Friday, March 20th, at 3 p.m. ET right here on @staff​.

If you want to submit your question for consideration, head on over to our ask box right now and ask away. The best way to keep yourself safe is by keeping yourself informed.

Once you’re done submitting your question, take a peek below at this video from Dr. Issa (with the help of VideoRev) describing five ways to disrupt the coronavirus:

Stay safe, Tumblr.

Cuando aquello termino nos partimos en pedazos a llorar en nuestras camas.

Nos separamos de las sonrisas, las selfies y las tardes de merienda juntos… Termino

Cuando aquello termino nos dejamos de contar secretos, nos empezamos a extrañar y a sentirnos solos, al menos por un momento. 

Y era dificil pensar en lo que venia. Era dificil sentirnos mejor, salir de la cama, despertar sin ilusiòn. Por que es una hermosa mañana si al despertas sabes que hay alguien amándote!

Nos separamos de los planes de viaje, de los sábados a la mañana con mate, de chistes mutuos, las noches de peleas para amanecer juntos… Termino todo.

Y hasta mi celu te extrañana, me señalaba el camino a tu casa.

Y hasta mis tardes te necesitaban, quería compartir tanto con vos y no podía.

Y es  que tarde tanto, ni las SS me abrían los ojos sobre la realidad. Me puse ciega de extrañar, de pensar que necesitaba mas de nosotros.

Cuando aquello terminó  tuve que llorar un montón, para aprender que esto era terminar un poco, solo un poco, que después habría mas, porque todavia me tenia a mi, me tengo.  Tengo los recuerdos, las fotos, las charlas de ahora que son hermosas, los buenos deseos, los planes conmigo, tengo las decisiones que bien o mal tome y me trajeron a aprender eso y escribirlo. Te tengo, me tengo, te tuve, me tendré, me estoy teniendo.

everything in the meat route is just.. so disappointing. even the parts i was looking forward to (davekat, calliroxy, rosemary, rose, jade, john being happy) ended up either being debased or tainted. i couldnt enjoy davekat without dirk looming over inserting in commentary and basically trying to force dave to kiss karkat. and then after that karkat was being a dickbag and they acted like everything was solved. calliope and roxy are nb and in love which is great! but then that got tainted with the misgendering and dirk just disregarding both of them, as if he never really cared about roxy, his (pre epilogue) BEST FRIEND and it hurts! jade is nothing but a plot vessel once more and rose is nullified and rendered weak while kanaya realized she was manipulated and is grieving over losing her wife. john was never happy and in his one moment of non-sadness he dies and terezi just… is there. shes deemed unimportant and given up. 

i truly believe that things wouldve been better without the epilogue. even with the fandom becoming smaller at least we had out own space to share content and be happy with the creation of relationships, of mending familial bonds, of binding together arcs. but all of that is taken and either made a joke about or thrown away amongst a sprinkle of oocness and joyful bitter acerbity. there may have been some good parts but lets be real its a 1:5 ratio of good scenes to either awful or tainted scenes and im willing to neglect this entire update to lie back and make a happy ending where fiction can be lent some joy

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Let’s Talk About Prairie, History, And Language. For Communities So Focused On “native Plants”/”native

Let’s talk about prairie, history, and language. For communities so focused on “native plants”/”native gardening”/etc there’s so little acknowledgement or engagement with indigenous Americans and their history. 

When we talk about science, there’s a baseline assumption of objectivity. Science is Truth, something apart from messy cultural ideas. The reality is, culture and all it’s messes bleed into science, like here in ecology. We gotta be conscious of the histories we inherit in science.
