"#big party at the metropolitan museum"

It's at a museum?!? Why?!?

I thought rich people had fancier buildings than that. Hope it's not a publicly funded museum.

@wreckitremy the met gala is a fundraiser for the museum. That’s why tickets to the party are so expensive. It’s a very common fundraising tactic for museums and other similar places to throw galas where rich people come and donate exorbitant amounts of money. The met is publicly funded, which is why AOC and other NY officials go for free, but the fundraiser helps cover the gaps in funding. It’s in the museum’s best interest to make it a huge spectacle with lots of super high profile people because then more people will want to pay to get into the party, thus covering more of their costs and allowing them to keep museum admission tickets as low as possible

cw: eating disorders

•

can i ask anyone who is a UK citizen on here to please sign and share this petition to increase funding for eating disorder treatment.

since the pandemic there has been a large rise in eating disorder patients requiring treatment. as of yet, in many areas the clinics are dealing with a large backlog of patients, and consequently many are refused treatment, especially those in the early stages of an eating disorder, such as people who may not yet be displaying many typical symptoms of disorders, who may still be a healthy weight, whose blood test results may not yet show signs of severe damage. (content below may be especially triggering for some, discretion advised)

i have seen my friend, who despite two (!!) separate diagnoses for anorexia nervosa, be refused treatment on the grounds of their condition not being severe enough for the chronically underfunded NHS to treat.

i have seen my younger sister, who exhibits many of the behavioural signs of an eating disorder, and who over the past 6 months alone has lost 14kg (30 lbs) of her body weight, be refused treatment on the same grounds.

studies show that those who manage to find treatment in the earlier stages have the best chances of survival. and with a condition that has around a 10% mortality rate this is especially important.

currently, as i have demonstrated above, the NHS is not adequately treating many patients who NEED this treatment. increasing funding is crucial in remedying this deficit. please do sign and share this petition. there has been a petition in the past which reached 13,000 signatures, but ideally this would reach more than 100,000, necessitating a debate in parliament. many of you know that this government, all-consumed by brexit policy, is keen to ignore issues such as this. it must be made inconvenient for them to do so, as it is the only way action is going to occur. any support you can give will make a difference!

The Government needs to increase funding to create more specialist hospitals and day care centers for eating disorder patients and to suppor

“Shostakovich had an incredible ability to take very basic, raw human emotions–maybe not nuanced, maybe not multi-layered, but something which everyone can feel very deeply: hope, fear, anger, love. And he knew how to encapsulate these feelings in notes and throw them at the listener with such force that we sometimes shake from the shock of this impact.”
