HI!

derbakeh

FYI you don’t need to be either Syrian or Arab to feel their pain

Aleppo, Syria within the past 8 days:

260 airstrikes, 110 artillery strikes

18 missiles and 86 bombs

At least 253 civilians, including 49 children, have died in shelling, rocket fire and air strikes in Aleppo since the surge in fighting, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.

Please, at least signal boost this to let the world become more aware of the travesties that the people of Aleppo and throughout Syria are going through. Erase the silence. Erase the world’s blindness towards the people of Syria.

#Aleppo is burning

#Save Aleppo

Kind of an unsolicited side note/psa- for those of you who drive, and live in an area where you rake leaves into the street, PLEASE be careful this fall and not drive through the leaves next to the curb. Like you see here, Kitties like these leaf piles and will bury themselves because they can be hella warm, and you won’t be able to see them, especially not from a car. Please and thank you :)

Shout out to non-uk citizens that are signing the second referendum petition.

Please, please for the love of god, do not do it. You all mean well but this is hurting the petition rather than helping, please signal boost this if it isn’t already going around.

colatechi-deactivated20180303

Make sure to spread this as far as you can, all the citizens appreciate the sentiment behind the action and are sure you have nothing but good intentions but the petition WILL fail this way. It’s being called a farce because of all the signatures from people that are not citizens of the UK.

Please spread this.

Some of y'all following me were literally born in the 2000s (and no this is not going to be one of those awful 90s kids are better rants) but I know from personal experience that as teenagers, you don’t really understand exactly how young you are. Like I literally babysat kids your age. And I want to remind y'all that I am an adult. And there are lots of adults on this website. And if any adult, even an 18 year old, comes on to you or makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, you are 100% within your rights to report it, and please please please don’t let yourself fall for their lines of “oh you’re very mature for your age” or some shit because I promise you that no matter what, to someone my age, you are a CHILD, and they’re preying on you. Your safety is important, so please exercise caution in all your online interactions

Detroit teachers stage “sickout” over horrible conditions, force schools to close

Eighty-eight of Detroit’s 97 public schools were closed Wednesday when teachers participated in a districtwide “sickout” to push for demands related to school conditions and their rights as employees. The protests align with a very high profile visitor in Detroit.

PLEASE continue to share images like this. White people refuse to acknowledge the reality of others until it’s shoved in their faces.

What’s crazy is it’s been like this since I was a child and prolly even before that.. My mother is a DPS school teacher and ain’t much changed, if anything things have gotten worse. She’s been buying school supplies for her students for as long as I can remember.

nowhites

this makes me so sick like how could the school district allow kids to be in this type of environment

I need help.

gofundme.

This is Poopie. She’s my best friend. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s true. We found her a year and a half ago (give or take) wandering the streets. When we brought her home I began looking for her owners. She’d had a harness on as well as bandages around her back and leg. I figured someone was missing her. Turns out they weren’t, and after spending a few weeks with her it wouldn’t have mattered. She’d stolen my heart, and my side of the bed. She’s sweet and loving. I had no idea a dog could be so kind.

For the past few days she’s been sick. She started throwing up on Tuesday. I was trying not to freak out over nothing, but took her to the vet just in case. They said “she probably just ate something weird,” gave her a shot, and sent her home. They said that if she wasn’t better by the next day that I should bring her back in.

The next day she really did seem better. She wanted to go play outside like normal, and was upset when I said that she couldn’t. She even ate a little bit. Later that night, however, she started throwing up again. This time it seemed like it was happening every five minutes. Not an exaggeration. She didn’t sleep at all last night, and neither did I. We went back to the vet this morning. They took blood for tests that didn’t show much. They took x-rays that showed that her stomach was enlarged and had pushed her intestines further back than they should be. They relieved some of that pressure, but the x-rays still didn’t show what exactly is going on.

The vet wants to do what’s called an exploratory, which is where they open her up to see what’s going on inside. It could be something simple they can remove, or it could be a cancer on an organ they can’t get rid of. Worst case scenario: they’ll euthanize her while she is in surgery. I signed the paper work and everything, and it breaks my heart to even think that she won’t come home.

I left her at the vet this morning around 10:00 am where they hooked her up to some fluids so she could get hydrated. I went back to see her around 4:00 pm. I stayed with her for almost an hour. The reason I left was because they said I could come back tomorrow when they open to visit again before the surgery.

The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning around 10:00-11:00 am.

The estimate the vet gave me was $700-$1500 which is more money than I have. I have drained and closed out my savings account. In other words, I need help. I’ve done everything I can for Poopie, but I still need help paying for the operation.

I know this is a really long post, and I’m sorry. I wouldn’t ask this if I had another option. It’s been a struggle all day long. I’ve been trying to stay positive, but it’s hard.

If you can donate, I would be so grateful. If you can’t, I completely understand. Either way, I’d apprecate a signal boost.

This is a matter very close to my heart. I have bipolar I disorder and ADHD as a result of bipolar. There aren’t many big posts about studying with mental illnesses so I figured I would compile a huge list of tips and posts! I’m going to be making a video about this very soon. I hope for all of you struggling that this can help or at least remind you that mental health is more important than school sometimes. Take care of yourself in any way you can. lets get started…

Studying with Mental Illness

Take things slowly. Don’t be afraid to take a week doing one assignment. Making sure that you can focus on assignments can be draining so breaking them down day by day can truly help you. Make a task list with each portion of an assignment mapped out so that you can see exactly what you need to do. I know that i get overwhelmed very easily and seeing smaller things is less daunting then having a list full of HUGE things like research papers and midterms. Seeing it as “write paragraph one” or “review unit one vocab” makes everything less scary.

Nothing has to be pretty. Notes don’t, papers don’t have to be perfect, study guides don’t need to be colorful and cute. What really matters is getting things done. My mom always tells me “even an F is better than a zero” which is so true. Turning things in late is not shameful because you are still turning it in. You still did it and that is something to be proud of.

Study somewhere other than your room or your house. Make sure there are people there. Surrounding yourself with others will allow you to feel less isolated and sometimes more motivated to do things. You can’t take naps when you’re at a Panera or Starbucks either. People can be motivating, they can remind you that you are not alone, they can hold you accountable for what you have to do. Get out of your bed where you can sit and stare at the wall and go to a coffee shop or the library where other people are doing work. This always helps me get on track.

Study in short bursts. Don’t wear yourself out with work. Find out when your concentration peaks and go with that. I usually work the best around 2pm so I have to make sure that I have eaten and showered before then so that I can capture that time to focus on my studies.

Don’t beat yourself up. Studying just takes a lot more effort other days when depression hits you the worst. There might be days when you can barely get yourself out of bed but know that you do have the ability to succeed and that depression just has to suck sometimes.

Get yourself out of bed. Shower. Change your clothes. Read a single page. Look at only one thing you have to do so you aren’t overwhelmed. That is something to be proud of and know that I am proud of what you did!

Study in a routine style. Let yourself have a routine that you can fall into. Try pomodoros or study games, Create a routine that you can stick to

If you don’t feel like doing anything… work for 5 minutes. You may feel more motivated or up, or you will at least be able to say that you have done something.

HYDRATE. I’m really awful at drinking a lot of water, but it helps so much with both anxiety and depression. Water keeps you moving and awake. SO drink that H2O guys

The official NDP twitter account posted this in response to the Jian Ghomeshi verdict.

Context, for those of you that don’t know: Jian Ghomeshi’s was acquitted of several violent sexual assault charges on three separate women (in this case, he has another sexual assault trial coming up in June,) on Thursday, much to the horror of Canadians everywhere. The crowd outside the courthouse were chanting “We believe survivors.“

Don’t scroll past this. Kylie Armstrong was diagnosed with breast cancer and these small dimples were the only signs. She posted the image on Facebook so everyone knows that “that breast cancer is not always a detectable lump.” Here’s how Kylie is doing today.
