[screenshot of Facebook post by David Richards from January 5, 2021: "For anyone who isn't on Tiktok, I wanted to share a story. 1 week ago, a Tiktok user with Parkinson's posted a video expressing anger over how tiny the pills for treating Parkinson's are because it makes them really difficult to pick up when someone has something like, you know, Parkinson's. 4 days ago a guy who directs country music videos for a living, and was previously most famous on Tiktok for knowing obscure facts about Snapple, taught himself how to use Fusion 360 (a design and modeling tool) so he could design a pill bottle that solves the problem. Problem was though that he didn't own a 3D printer so he posted a video of his design and offered to share schematics with anyone who wanted to test it and/or improve upon it. All schematics are open source. 3 days ago, dozens of engineers and 3D printer enthusiasts had begun working on the project and started refining and tweaking to get tolerances where they needed to be and ensuring that it actually met the needs of those it was being designed for. 13 hours ago, there is a working prototype, it has "less plastic than your average McDonald's toy, and should be priced as such." The original designer has gotten a patent attorney to ensure it remains open source and the patent itself will be donated to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. In the mean time, for anyone who needs one now and doesn't want to wait until the manufacturing in scale begins, they can get one at cost from the engineers printing them at home."]

This country is such a fucking joke. Did you know that if we were to divide the income in this country fairly it would be about 300,000 per person. That’s annually. You could give each person in this country 100,000 and still have enough to invest in infrastructure and research. Instead we have people who don’t have water, don’t have their basic human rights fulfilled, because they don’t have enough to pay a bill.

Capitalism is a fucking death cult and we’re all being force-fed the kool-aid.

Anytime I argue with a capitalist I say there is absolutely no form of capitalism whose intention is to help everybody everywhere. There’s no form of it which won’t pollute the planet. My favorite is calling out Libertarians and saying so you’ll end all slave labor worldwide? And they kind of backpedaled because they know profits would definitely drop dramatically if slave labor was not used anywhere on the planet.

I am relatively young but in final stage renal failure. I have a higher chance of survival IF I can recieve proper medical care AND LIVING ASSISTANCE in a different state. Get me OUT of Mississippi. 8/29/18

The long post w the good explanation is being shared but not inspiring much help. So, I simplified it.

My illness is straight up fatal. Not gonna beat around thatBush, anymore. I seem desperate for help because I AM desperate for help.

My nephrologist has seen enough improvement in my kidney function, lately, to believe someone my age (early 30s) might have a longer life WITH PROPER AND FREQUENT MEDICAL ATTENTION. Sadly, that just isn’t an option where I live.

Please, if you can help me with moving expenses (even just a couple of bucks) I would be grateful. I’m sinking fast in Mississippi and now my doctors are giving me too much hope to ignore. I wanna get out of this situation and I’m working my fatigued, brain-foggy ass off to make it out of here.

If I can undo the damage my heart failure caused to the rest of my body, I want to. I don’t want to spend another month KNOWING what I should be eating, what medicines I should be taking, what tests and treatments I should be getting… and receiving almost none of it because Mississippi lawmakers think people like me have somehow earned slow, painful deaths.

Thanks for reblogging & donating to help keep me alive. This has easily been the most difficult two years of my life even without violence and plague in the world outside my breaking body.

Asking for help getting winter boots and tires. I’ve relocated to a place with snow since this first post and these are the things I can never afford to replace but always seem to wear down.

I mostly do delivery as work & community aid. I can’t do either without my car & boots.

I still am waiting on transplant.

Share if you can’t help, at the moment. I’ll be grateful to just replace two tires and wait to do the others.

On Jan. 2nd, my cousin-brother and his family lost their home to a fire. The cause of the fire is still unknown. Thankfully he had fire resistant interior that helped minimize the damage, but they’ve lost a lot of their possessions to the fire. Their home also suffered from smoke damage. I’m grateful that they all made it out of the house safely but a few of them had to go to the ER for smoke inhalation and pain caused from being thrown/jumping out of their windows.

I’ve included screenshots of our family group chat and a picture of what he’s done so far for fixing their home.

Some of the things they’ve lost in the fire was majority of their powwow regalia. His family is well known in the powwow community here in Arizona and have performed for some politicians, entertainers, and even huge events in AZ. His entire family dances, including his little ones. I’ll included their pictures.

Anything helps and even sharing will help them out in anyway. As a family, we are coming together to help with the cost to fix their home.

The Minneapolis police are back to publicly being terrorists now that George Floyd’s death is out of the media cycle.

Directly from the article:

Bayle Adod Gelle was deep in sleep late Wednesday night at his home in Eden Prairie when he heard loud banging on the door.

The intensity of the sound at 2:15 a.m. left Bayle confused. He trudged down the stairs from his second-floor bedroom. As soon as he reached the living room, he found his wife there—surrounded by more than a dozen officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. The officers allegedly pointed their guns at him and his wife, Bayle said, and then tied their hands tightly with a cord.

Awakened by the bangs and commotion, three children—ages 4, 7, and 9— joined their parents in the living room. Officers allegedly pointed guns at them, too, Bayle said.

“I felt very scared,” Bayle said in an interview with Sahan Journal at his home Thursday evening, some 14 hours after the police raid. “I thought they were going to kill us.”

The police search felt like it took forever—maybe two hours, he said. Bayle kept asking the officers who they were and why they’d come to his house. (In the end, the police appear to have found nothing, and took no evidence with them, Bayle said.)

They told him “shut up,” he recalled.

Bayle said the officers ransacked the house and never showed him a search warrant— until the end. That’s when they told him his son had been killed.

Bayle said that until that moment, he had no idea that nearly 8 hours earlier Minneapolis Police officers had fatally shot his 23-year-old son, Dolal Bayle Idd, in an altercation at a Holiday gas station in south Minneapolis. It was the first police killing in Minneapolis since Officer Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd about a dozen blocks away.

Some individuals with AD/HD, especially without hyperactivity, have an activation problem as described by Thomas Brown, Ph.D. in his article AD/HD without Hyperactivity (1993). Rather than a deficit of attention, this means that individuals can’t deploy attention, direct it, or put it in the right place at the right time. He explains that adults who do not have hyperactivity often have severe difficulty activating enough to start a task and sustaining the energy to complete it. This is especially true for low-interest activities. Often it means that they can’t think of what to do so they might not be able to act at all, or, as Kate Kelly and Peggy Ramundo say in You Mean I’m Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!, they might experience a “paralysis of will” (pg. 65). “The clothes from my trip—a month ago—are just still lying in a heap in the suitcase.” “I spend a lot of time in bed watching TV but my mind isn’t watching TV. I’m thinking about what I should be doing, but I don’t have the energy to do it.”

My least favorite habit of certain (usually female) fans is when they try to find a “woke” reason to dislike a major female character. See for example, the argument that Yennefer of Vengerberg is “there primarily for the male gaze”.

Yennefer of Vengerberg is a woman whose storyline was placed front and center from the second episode and given parallel importance with the titular male character.

Yennefer is a character who is fearless, powerful, ambitious and selfish in equal measures, all of which are traits we rarely see in female characters period, and the narrative (and the lead male character) treat these traits generally as ones to be celebrated rather than decried.

Yennefer is a character who is given so much story beyond her relationship to the male character that when she has a moment where she has to think back to all of the painful and infuriating things that have been said to her, he never crosses her mind.

Yennefer is a character who owns her sexuality both before and after her transformation and her relationship with the lead male character is primarily on her own terms. (And the part that isn’t on her terms: the wish, is something that she gets rightfully angry about. And at no point does the narrative try to say that she made the wrong decision there.)

Yennefer is a character who is dressed according to female power fantasies. Her gowns are wildly designed, with crazy arches and sleeves, and they look fabulous but also very much in line with what a woman would choose as opposed to a man. And while sometimes she is nude, it’s always plot relevant and not presented in an objectifying or dehumanizing way.

Yennefer is a woman of color in a leading role in a fantasy drama that is both helmed and penned by women. (The original books are written by a man, sure, but the teleplay was written by a woman. The showrunner is a woman.)

Yennefer is not going to resonate with every single woman watching the show, sure. But she resonates with quite a lot of them. And she’s crafted with exactly the same “gaze” as every other character in the series. (Including the male ones who are miraculously free of this ridiculous complaint).

lilacsdandelionsandonions

ok but do you mind if elaborate just how far all her nude scenes are from “the male gaze”???

her first love scene with istredd is BEFORE her transformation! i don’t think i’ve ever seen a disabled woman on TV get to express her sexuality like that before! her hunchback isn’t hidden, either, it’s right in the center of the frame. both of their faces and bodies are the focus, as opposed to the camera lingering on her breasts and ass, and ignoring the male actor’s body completely, like so many other shows and movies. it’s equality!

her transformation scene is the FURTHEST from sexy. and sadly they could have made it sexy, so many shows do fetishize scenes of violence against women (having actresses scream prettily, make the “O” face, positioning their bodies provocatively, pointing their toes, etc). but once again, the camera never centers on her breasts, but on her face. her screaming and struggling is ugly and authentic. her nudity only added to the discomfort of the scene, with her feet in stirrups evoking an OBGYN visit or childbirth, not sex.

in the bath scene, all glimpses of her tits and ass are super brief, off center, moving, never posed… as opposed to the long AND very centered shots of geralt titties.

yennefer’s longest tits out scene with the djinn ritual is interesting, because while her chest is occasionally centered in frame… jaskier’s reaction is super telling! he doesn’t acknowledge her nudity at all! (especially as a hypersexual comedic character who in a lesser show would be drooling over her!) instead he reacts purely to her “devilish eyes” and the painted amphora and the knife in her hands. she’s not treated by either the camera or by jaskier as a sexual object, but as a threat.

in the ritual scene proper, she’s allowed to be sweaty and strident and red-eyed (which if you ask me is very sexy, but i’m not a man). it might not be a fertility ritual, exactly, but since it’s her womb she’s trying to regain, having her breasts out could be symbolic of her potential motherhood that she’s vying for, as opposed to just titillation (ha). it’s also a call back to her transformation scene.

in every sex scene with geralt, they’re both clothed. which is weird for the main romance! like, really weird. so no nudity, no male gaze. (i wonder why though? maybe they wanted to visually indicate how closed off geralt and yennefer are with each other at first, not wanting the vulnerability of nakedness. plus i think we’re meant to take that their hookups are extremely rushed and spontaneous.) once they’re finally naked together, she’s turned away/wearing a modesty blanket, while he’s got his chest and thighs out, and they’re just talking.

in short… male gaze where?? yennefer of vengerberg might be literally the only female character i’ve ever seen that’s been actually empowered while nude. a male-led production could never.

also, she’s dynamite, and if you disagree, please keep it to yourself and out of the tags. thanks for letting me borrow the mic at this ted talk.

I think people are trying to rationalise their discomfort with a woman who asserts herself. People say they want strong female characters, but the second we get one, they start whining that she’s not a perfect woman.

That goes double when the actress is a woman of colour.

helianthus-hellion

i’ve reblogged this before but i just really wanna emphasize one thing, also:

istredhe has sex before her transformation. a disabled woman of color is given her own sexuality to claim and express on the goddamn screen. i don’t give a flying FUCK how you feel about yennefer as a character, A DISABLED WOMAN OF COLOR IS BEING GIVEN HER OWN SEXUALITY. and it’s not treated like a fetish or anything! sure istredd is spying on her but he could have done that without having sex with her, instead we are shown that he thinks she’s hot as fuck before her transformation.

indigosquid

People also like to point out the storyline about her wanting a baby, and while I do see how you could see that as problematic, they adapted it explicitly to mean that she wants the choice. And while she’s definitely a bit short-sighted in the fact that she doesn’t really acknowledge that she gave up that choice herself at the time, that’s okay, because that’s a character flaw. Which is not just something characters are allowed to have, it’s something a well-rounded character should have

flootzavut

Honestly I also think that the way they’ve framed her wanting a child is also really interesting because (to me at least) it doesn’t come off as “she wants a baby because All Women Want That” but more that she’s desperate to be loved and wanted, and it’s an extension of that need. Which, you know, isn’t healthy, but that goes back to her being a flawed character who makes some really stupid decisions, and hello, again, complex, flawed character whose main character trait is not her boobs, thank you show runners 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

(This is thrown in particularly sharp relief to me at the moment, because I’m watching Star Trek Voyager and getting so frustrated by how they cast Jeri Ryan and then used her mostly as eye candy in a tight catsuit. Every time they give her something to do besides glower and stand around looking hot, she nails it, and I’m reminded how much they wasted her as an actress in this role. Makes me extra specially grateful for the complex, flawed, messy women in the Witcher.)

nudityandnerdery

One of the things I love about The Witcher is how they don’t make her always look glamorous and lovely. It reminds me of the interview Elizabeth Olsen did, talking about filming Age of Ultron, and how Joss Whedon told her to do “a calm face” when Wanda was casting spells, because…

Meanwhile, The Witcher doesn’t do that.

Magic takes effort.

Yennefer doesn’t always have to look like a model, she’s allowed to be a person.

And it’s sad that this is how low the bar can be sometimes, but it’s still just something that I noticed and appreciated. They let their actress act and not focus on some dude’s idea of “what’s attractive” in the scene.

tenderer is one of my all take fav characters. she’s so well written and acted

I keep hate-reading plague literature from the medieval era, but as depressed as it makes me there is always one historical tidbit that makes me feel a little bittersweet and I like to revisit it. That’s the story of the village of Eyam.

what-even-is-thiss

Eyam today is a teeny tiny town of less than a thousand people. It has barely grown since 1665 when its population was around 800.

Where the story starts with Eyam is that in August 1665 the village tailor and his assistant discovered that a bolt of cloth that they had bought from London was infested with rat fleas. A few days later on September 7th the tailor’s assistant George Viccars died from plague.

what-even-is-thiss

Back then people didn’t fully understand how disease spread, but they knew in a basic sense that it did spread and that the spread had something to do with the movement of people.

So two religios leaders in the town, Thomas Stanley and William Mompesson, got together and came up with a plan. They would put the entire village of Eyam under quarantine. And they did. For over a year nobody went in and nobody went out.

They put up signs on the edge of town as warning and left money in vinegar filled basins that people from out of town would leave food and supplies by.

what-even-is-thiss

Over the 14 months that Eyam was in quarantine 260 out of the 800 residents died of plague. The death toll was high, the cost was great.

However, they did successfully prevent the disease from spreading to the nearby town of Sheffield, even then a much bigger town, and likely saved the lives of thousands of people in the north of England through their sacrifice.

So I really like this story, because it’s a sad story, because it’s also a beautiful story. Instead of fleeing everyone in this one place agreed that they would stay, and they saved thousands of people. They stayed just to save others and I guess it’s one of those good stories about how people have always been people, for better or worse.

auroranibley

It gets better.

Here’s the thing. One third of the residents of Eyam died during their quarantine, but the Black Plague was known to have a NINETY PERCENT death rate. As high as the toll was, it wasn’t as high as it should have been. And a few hundred years later, some historians and doctors got to wondering why.

Fortunately, Eyam is one of those wonderful places that really hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years. Researchers, going to visit, found that many of the current residents were direct descendants of the plague survivors from the 1600s. By doing genetic testing, they learned that a high number of Eyam residents carried a gene that made them immune to the plague. And still do.

And it gets even better than that, because the gene that blocks the Black Plague? Also turns out to block AIDS, and was instrumental in helping to find effective medication for people who have HIV and AIDS in the 21st century.

Here is a lovely, well-produced documentary about Eyam and its disease resistance. It’s a little under an hour. Trigger warning for general disease and epidemic-type stuff, but also, maybe it will help you have some hope in these alarmly uncertain times.
