Support your local bakeries, libraries, beekeepers, diviners, and soapmakers.

Especially if they’re witches. But also if they’re mundane. Keep your town alive, keep those economics flowing, and you’ll build not only great local businesses, but relationships with businesses that you can actually trust.

To the person who reblogged this with a “no animal products stipulation”, this is the wrong blog for that! Support small and hobbyist farmers with humane animal rearing practices! Buy their eggs! Buy their milk and cheese! Buy their wool and fiber! We’re all in this together!!!

lawyerchronicles

Support your local bookstores, coffee shops, surfboard shapers, ice cream parlors, dive bars, the girl you went to high school with who makes her own line of lotions, the dude from down the street who owns a landscaping business, and the guys and gals in your local comic book shop. Shop local to keep it local.

Also local music venues and bands, and community theatres, and movie theatres!

do you ever get in those moods where you don’t feel like reading and you don’t feel like being on the internet and you don’t feel like watching a show and you don’t feel like sleeping and you don’t feel like existing in general

oh to be a little dog sprinting at top speeds around the house with reckless abandon to release all the stress pent up from your extremely harrowing bathtime

Friendly reminder: when people say ‘as long as you tried your best’ it doesn’t mean ‘the best you could possibly have done ever’ it means ‘the best you were capable of at the time.’ Sometimes ‘trying your best’ is just getting out of bed in the morning. Just because you weren’t working yourself to the bone doesn’t mean you weren’t trying your best.

Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

In the Netherlands, abortion is legal. There is however one pro life organization called Stichting Schreeuw Om Leven. But instead of harrassing women who are on their way to the abortion clinic and make them feel miserable, they offer them HELP.

If a woman wants to get an abortion because she is financially unable to give birth to and raise a baby, the organization will pay for everything she needs during the pregnancy and after, until she’s financially stable to raise the baby on her own.

This organization won’t stop women from going to the abortion clinic, but would rather hve a healthy conversation with them. Ask them if they can help her with anything in order for them to keep the baby. They also hand out contraception in the streets for those who can’t afford it.

Women don’t get abortions just because they want to. There are reasons why. This organization doesn’t fight abortion, it fights the reasons why women get abortions. Take notes America.

America doesn’t WANT to take notes. Anti-abortion in America isn’t about actually preventing abortions it’s about controlling women. That’s it. That’s all it is.

Can you offer wisdom for someone who wants a way out? I offer in return eight teen years of torment and the hope from my childhood.

No one cares if you want an abortion you dumb whore,we just don't want to pay for it.

Oh, hate mail. My, my, I really have arrived in online high society! Here’s the thing, faceless internet person. You do care. You care enough to send anon hate mail to someone who reblogged a post about US attitudes to abortion; something about that clearly threatens you enough to provoke a reaction. What makes you think I (or anyone else) want an abortion? You equate posting about the importance of access to sexual health services and healthcare in general with wanting abortions. Abortions aren’t a thing people ‘want’, they aren’t a luxury people choose to indulge in. However, there are times when people make the decision that an abortion is the most appropriate choice out of difficult set of choices at the time; and I believe in letting people make that choice. Abortions are healthcare; they are often carried out for health reasons, (whether for the parent or for the foetus). Therefore I believe that, like contraception, and other health services they should be freely accessible to those in need of them. As it happens, I’m in the UK where universal access to basic healthcare is considered important and uncontroversial. It’s sad to hear that basic empathy isn’t universal. So, if you’re in the US, you certainly wouldn’t be paying for my imaginary future abortions.

I have to say, as a UK doctor raised in a less… individualistic culture, I find the attitude displayed here selfish, unhumanitarian and (yes, if you’re religious, un-Christian). If your attitude to someone else needing help is ‘I don’t want to pay for you to get help’, there is something very wrong with your world view. We all pay for a wide range of healthcare; it’s neither possible nor desirable to pick amongst them. You don’t get to choose to deny smokers treatment for their asthma, or someone who drinks treatment for their head injury. Or skateboarders treatment for their broken leg. There’s a stigma against conditions seen as ‘self-inflicted’, but in reality, many of all our health problems are at least partly influenced by our actions, and if we chose to deny people healthcare unless they were ‘innocent’ enough, we’d be refusing to help a lot of people. As it happens, my job as a doctor isn’t to judge people or deny them healthcare if I think they are undeserving or if something is ‘self-inflicted’; in fact, viewing complex issues through such a lens is inherently problematic. We’re here to help people, not punish them for being human.

And letting yourself be led by such rhetoric only helps propagate insurance based systems that cost the government and individuals far more than all other systems. The US healthcare system costs you and your government more - a few times more per person than the NHS costs us. Seeing healthcare as something for which people need to fend for themselves isn’t just selfish and lacking in empathy, it also has consequences that are bad for you too. Healthcare is expensive; it’s actually cheaper for all of us when funded together and when we try to cut the middle men as much as possible. It might not have occurred to you to, but I pay taxes, too. I pay my taxes hoping to fund a well-functioning healthcare system which looks after everyone when they need it, not only the people who can pay for it. I hope it treats the homeless and the poor, and those who can’t pay for their care. Far from being a fault deserving of outrage, it’s one of the reasons I’m proud to work in the NHS, and why so many of us go above and beyond in our jobs in healthcare. I certainly hope that my tax money (and being a doctor, I’m probably paying more tax than you are) is going towards making abortion safe and readily available to those who need it. I believe in doing my bit to fund public infrastructure and ensure everyone is well looked after.

Lastly, nobody gets to call me a dumb whore. What a sad, insecure little person you must be, that your reflexive response when you read a post you don’t like or feel threatened by, is to impugn the humanity of another. I have two degrees and a whole bunch of people who love and respect me for who I am; your words have no power here. You have no idea of my sexual history, and it’s certainly irrelevant to this post. I could have slept with a million people, it wouldn’t make any of the above less true, and I’m sick of women and sex workers being shamed as if someone’s sexual history is ever a reason to disrespect them. Besides, anyone who anonymously sends hate messages without even checking which country someone is in probably shouldn’t be throwing the epithet ‘dumb whore’ around at anyone. If I get any more hate mail along the same theme, I’ll assume it’s you or your troll friends and report/block on site. Anyone who has issues with reproductive healthcare any my being pro-choice is free to unfollow as they choose. But I hope perhaps you, or people who might think like you, can read this reply and have a think about it instead.
