anybody who tries to frame the struggle of the global south against the imperial core and the struggle of black and native people from within the imperial core as two movements that are opposed to each other isn't worth a second of your time
I ain’t ever stay in bed and sleep as much as I have now that I teach for a living. I’m tired as heeeelllll.
With a fucking passion
I’m sorry Europeans but America is the culmination of the European project of colonization, enslavement and capitalism. This is your child not claiming them doesn’t make them not yours. America is merely an extension and a continuation of Europe on other shores, as is Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
You’ve been more than happy to align yourself with America for these very reasons. It’s profitable, your own colonial ventures may even get backed up militarily by America and you can still seem progressive in comparison while being an accomplice.
You can’t wash your hands of centuries of blood at the last minute when America is collapsing. “Oh we were never like that, that’s an American problem, we never colonized or enslaved or bombed, not us no no no” that won’t protect your nation’s governments from the future crimes against humanity tribunals sorry!

Everyone stfu about calories and whatever else about “healthy” eating until we get this eating disorder resurgence situated again.
I came downstairs post-shower and my mom squints at me and goes “why do you have clothes on???
Like I know this is a naked family but we do have company!!!! Tasha doesn’t know me!
I think it’s just the fact this country was founded on the dual corrupted roots of genocide and slavery and furthered by the exploitation of most of the western hemisphere is why it took a lot to not react to the “aren’t we so lucky be born here” with vitriol likd ma’am I have ancestors who were slaves let’s not start this conversation
man it sucks that a caesar salad would hit rn
white people appropriating aave is always irritating but specifically the use of "-ahh" like "goofy-ahh" "stupid-ahh" bro if you are not black just say ass. ass belongs to everyone, dumbass. are you afraid of cursing?? youre stealing the language of black americans cos you don't want to be caught saying a bad word like ASS ?
what we say: fandoms, much like every other social part of our life, should have political awareness and be a safe space for fans who belong to marginalised groups, as well as be cautious about media literacy
what tumblrinas hear: fandom is activism, fanfics are activism, shipping is activism, here's my fanart of a fictional white dude punching ICE agents like it's an art trend, i'm not racist because my oc is biracial
"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:
It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.
You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.
Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.
Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%
During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.
When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.
You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.
You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.
If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.
Please feel free to share this.
And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.
And no, ivermectin will not help this at all.”
If you're allergic to sulpha, don't take bactrim though! I had a bad reaction to it, and was told that's why.
BTW - Taylor Farms shredded lettuce has been confirmed as the source of the outbreak.
If you can't drink enough fluids but are avoiding going to the hospital for whatever reason (lack of insurance, worried about immigration status, etc) there are mobile IV services that will come to your house! I had to do this last year when I had covid and my throat hurt so much I couldn't drink anything but I was also having severe diarrhea. It was about $400 (I didn't have insurance so this was cheaper than a hospital visit), it was a registered nurse who administered the liter of fluids IV. Took about 30 minutes. Would absolutely do again if all I needed was fluids and I needed to avoid a hospital visit.
Oh sorry, I missed that you reblogged the cyclospora thing with more info! The one I referenced in my ask was just the original post. Sorry to bother you!
It’s all good, love!!!
For anyone else looking for a source behind the post, the OP said in a follow-up (someone posted it in a reply; check the notes) that they drew the conclusion based on publically available information. Turns out they knew their stuff:
Federal officials worked with Michigan investigators to trace the outbreak to iceberg lettuce, which may also have gone to other vendors.
In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio called Tybalt "Prince of Cats" because there was a book, popular at the time, with a cat prince named Tybalt in it. He was making a pop culture reference. Therefore, I move, that in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling, Tybalt should be named Garfield.
