my sister would have wanted me to politicize her death so that is exactly what i will do here.
on december 28th, my sister went to the hospital due to severe abdominal pain that she attributed to a UTI. they did a CT scan and found a 14cm tumor. they diagnosed her with stage 4 ovarian cancer and told her to start seeing specialists. for reasons unbeknownst to me, they didn't do a biopsy, or even attempt to schedule one for her, and she went home.
she spent the next 5 weeks being turned in circles by various specialists. the first oncologist told her that she would be fine, that she was young (only 42) and otherwise healthy, and she "wasn't going anywhere anytime soon." however, she could not afford the biopsy that was needed at the time, because she didn't have insurance. the out of pocket cost was too high, and there wasn't an option to be billed later.
these oncologists told her that her best bet was to quit her job and apply for medicaid in order to receive care, but my sister was a normal everyday person living paycheck to paycheck, and that was an impossible request. even if she did quit her job, she would still need to wait to be approved by medicaid.
she called my father on friday, in tears because she was just told by the hospital that she needed to come up with $800 upfront for a PET scan, a 20% downpayment. he had to scrounge up the money to pay for the scan himself.
on monday morning, she woke up with abdominal pain, vomiting, and loss of bowel control. she decided to stay home from work, something she never did, and her roommate offered to stay home with her in order to look after her.
her response: "no, we can't afford for both of us to miss work. i'll just take a shower and go back to sleep."
he came home and she was dead. 5 weeks after diagnosis. she was told she had years but she had a matter of days.
this was her final post on facebook, 2 days before she died. this is literally just the reality of how healthcare works in this country. and she'd want people to know that.
she was a good person doing what was expected of her, she was proactive and aggressive trying to get care, and this is what happened to her. no one gave her care, or tried to help her understand her diagnosis. they just would pat her on the back and say she was going to be fine, without knowing anything, and while refusing to find out.

Itโs always insane to me when people DM me to yell at me about breaching their DNI because I reblogged a post from them
Like how chronically online are you that youโre checking the blogs of everyone who reblogs from you
And I genuinely mean that. Even if the post only has like 10 notes at best. How much free time do you have to check the blogs of all 10 of those notes, and then go OUT OF YOUR WAY to message anyone who doesnโt fit your strict guidelines for human interaction. And I know some of yโall donโt just check but you DIG, because some of the stuff I get DMed about is not advertised on my blog as soon as you look at it.
How do you all survive outside of the internet when every persons political opinions and stances on fictional content arenโt displayed to you right off the bat.
Like Iโm not kidding. Thatโs not normal. You are not the normal one in this situation. Please put your phone down for at least a week and go outside.
I love how someone got SO mad at my post that basically boiled down to โIf youโre digging through the blogs of strangers who reblog from you, on the strangers reblogging from people website, to dig up dirt on them - thatโs not normal behavior and you should stopโ that they sent me a paragraph of anon hate
Yeah man youโre real normal. You won. I was a fool to think that perhaps that was unhealthy behavior.
Like it's very true that there are people in lefty spaces who are abusers: they hit their girlfriends, they DARVO when confronted, they gaslight and intimidate people they don't like while remaining charismatic to those they do like or benefit from. There are instances in which these accusations are taken seriously and the victim in question is given the care and resources they need to heal and the abuser is given the opportunity to make amends/leave the community/change their ways. Sometimes the response and accountability processes actually work, but more often than not, I think this is by coincidence and not because these processes actually work.
With more frequency than I think people are willing to admit, instances of miscommunication, legitimate mistakes, bad-faith interpretations, or simple pettiness lead to witch hunts in leftist spaces, especially online. Like, how often have you heard that such and such user is a pedophile, an abuser, a predator. And when you ask what happened, it turns out the person....likes a children's cartoon, is just a gross roommate, or got romantically rejected by someone and sulked on their blog for a bit? Or in real life, I've been in instances where a friend was accused of being a misogynist when in reality they're just a trans woman who disagreed with someone who turned out to be a radfem lol.
It's stupid dumb easy to create a whisper network about someone being a Bad Person in leftist spaces and get everyone to shut up and fall in line because questioning the accuser is seen as harming a victim. There's such a low, almost nonexistent threshold to fact find, to have people state explicitly what happened and provide what evidence they have. This makes it soooooo fucking easy to break apart communities and have everyone at each other's throats at all times, let alone actually organize.

Laying on your left-hand side may make for slower pill absorption.
oh wow! hey if you take pills check this out. new medicine taking meta just dropped.
according to these models, out of the 4 tested postures, the best position to digest pills is laying on your right side. standing upright has a similar time to laying in your back at twice as much as laying on the right side, and laying on the left side is the slowest by far.
laying on right side: pill dissolves in around 10 minutes.
standing: pill dissolves in 23 minutes. laying on the back has a similar time.
laying on left side: pill dissolves in up to 100 minutes.
https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0096877
definitely worth a lot more research.
if you want your medicine to kick in fast, try laying on your right side! if you want your medicine to kick in slower, try laying on your left side.
This makes sense! I learned from a doc that if you have gas pain or nausea, you turn on your left side to make it easier for your stomach to send stuff through. The goal in turning left is to NOT absorb, but to release.
Turning on your right can make nausea/gas pain worse because it has to fight gravity to exit your stomach/body. So, yeah, lying on your right would make things absorb faster because it's going into the stomach lining, which is the point.

To me, songs are kind of like bookmarks. Have you ever listened to a song that you havenโt heard in a while, and all of a sudden, all the memories of that time period come back, and you remember what your life used to be like. Theyโre like milestones in your life.

An early trailblazer in the fight against HIV/AIDS and a staunch and outspoken LGBTQ+ ally, Elizabeth committed her time and energy to the cause when her friend and co-star Rock Hudson was diagnosed with AIDS prior to his passing in 1985. Elizabeth went on to become a co-founder (alongside Dr. Mathilde Krim) of the first AIDS research center amfAR, and later founded her separate Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991 with the specific focus of providing nutritious meals (as well as medical and financial assistance) to people living with HIV and AIDS. She also lobbied the U.S. congress to contribute more money for AIDS research and education, devoting the last twenty-six years of her life to the cause. After Elizabeth passed away in 2011 at the age of 79, a large portion of the $115,932,000 raised at the Christieโs auction of her legendary jewelry collection was bequeathed to her charity in order to continue providing the services and assistance she believed were important in perpetuity. Still actively raising funds today, Elizabethโs grandson Quinn Tivey is now an officer and co-trustee of her foundation. Reflecting on his grandmotherโs humanitarianism and advocacy, he recently stated:ย โThe fight against HIV/AIDS was such a vital part of her legacy, and although the fight is far from over, Iโm honored to see the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation continue her work, educating legislators, raising awareness for the public, disproving myths and decreasing fear and stigma. Grandma stood up for what she believed in, living boldly and courageously. She would never buckle under pressure, and she certainly would not support the status quo if the status quo didnโt feel right.โ
Her perfume White Diamonds is pretty much the most successful celebrity perfume ever (sales of over $1.8bn as of 2018). 20% of all sales in perpetuity goes straight to her AIDS charity. Taylor (and Angela Lansbury) really walked the walk when it came to supporting people suffering from HIV and AIDS at a time where it really was not seen as a sensible thing to do.
