ACAB/BLM She/Her or He/Him I hate it here

[mesmeraculous-deactivated202111]

The specific intersection of gender, class, and immigrant status needs to be addressed in the #StopAsianHate movement. It is beyond disingenuous to aggregate “anti-Asian” hate that does not account for these statues because it erases the most marginalized Asian women who are dark-skinned, disabled, impoverished, immigrants, elders, trans, and sex workers. 

What happened in Atlanta happens daily to Asian & migrant women who work in massage parlors (which can sometimes front as sex work). Massage therapists face a combined assault of hypersexualization, abuse, racism, and misogyny. 

Please consider boosting smaller mutual aid funds and grassroots organizations over the big #AAPI organizations. These large organizations are usually too broad and often don’t use the money as well. 

Here is an ongoing thread of anti-carceral, migrant, sex worker, reproductive justice and other Asian organizations to support instead. 

And just in case you can’t access this thread because OP privated, here are some of the major organizations they vouch for:

Red Canary Song: grassroots collective that supports Asian & migrant sex workers, organizing transnationally

Butterfly: provides support, education and information to Asian & migrant sex workers

Swan Vancouver: supports Asian migrant women workers fleeing violence & exploitation

National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum: advocates & supports immigrant Asian women worker and reproductive rights

no spoons for a decent warning rn but the venom trailer gets real flashy about halfway through (and the first movie has at least one serious strobe sequence) so stay safe and spread the word

I don’t study genocides war crimes and human rights for fun. I study it bc my people have been at the foot from the very first genocide of the 20th century and previous attempts to exterminate my entire race. The fact that no one is speaking up when another genocide is at the brink of occurring to the ethnic Armenians living in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) is mind blowing. I have to say I’m not surprised by the lack of effort - Americans, especially, are the most self interested humans I’ve met. This isn’t about narrative, this is about rapid belligerent individualism. We can philosophize all day about it but at the end - people don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves. There is rarely any altruism left in this world. As Monte said, no ones gonna fight for us, we will have to fight on our own to survive. The alternative is not an option.

doctoring while fat

[frostyemma]

@firebirdscratches

[firebirdscratches]

Yup. And what’s even more insidious is that mysterious symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, upset stomach, things like that - ALWAYS get explained away as “it’s because you’re fat.” Whereas if a thin person goes in and says that, they’re more likely to be taken seriously. Fat people literally can’t get a diagnosis without joining weight watchers first to “prove” it’s not just because we’re fat.  So if two women have cancer, and feel fatigued, and one of them is thin and the other is fat…one gets pointed to a diagnosis faster, while the other one gets told to go on a diet. The delay of a few months, hell, a few weeks, can be all the difference. And fat people have their symptoms ignored for yeeeeeaaars. Fatphobia and bias in the medical community claims lives.

[literal-fandomtrash]

As someone who is fat and who also works in the medical field, here is my recommendation:

Tell the doctor you still want to follow up with further diagnostics. If/when the doctor denies these diagnostics and tests, tell them you want it noted in your chart that they denied the patient’s request for further testing.

That will usually get further medical tests and treatments.

PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST

TW: police brutality, Black death

On May 6, 2020, IMPD officer Dejoure Mercer fatally shot 21 year old Dreasjon Reed while he was running away. Reed's only "crime" was speeding on the fucking highway. Despite there being video of the murder both from Reed's own Facebook live and a nearby security camera along with eyewitness testimony, the grand jury decided that there was not enough evidence to charge the cop responsible with murder. Please donate whatever you can to the family's GoFundMe here. All donations go to Reed's family to help pay for legal fees and to get by while grieving. If you can, please also donate to Indy10 Black Lives Matter, the local activists who have been working tirelessly to get justice:

The most hilarious part of italians’ reaction to coronavirus/covid19 has been them stockpiling EVERY SINGLE type of pasta except the PENNE LISCE

which Italians couldn’t bring themselves to buy or eat even during a mass psychosis

[maarigolds]

The moment italians start buying penne lisce will be the moment we know our society has truly collapsed

[jeannettegray]

Listen, if I'm gonna die, my last meal is NOT gonna be fucking penne lisce.

[tchaikovskaya]

[dwlostcompanion]

Someone explain please! I want to knowwww

[aphony-cree]

Penne lische is smooth and doesn’t hold sauce the way penne rigate does

The grooves make more sauce adhere to it

[specsthespectraldragon]

wait that picture up there then ACTUALLY is of a smooth tube and not just. a bad picture? smooth penne exists? that's horrifying the ridges are the best part it's like eating a tiny accordion

[actualaster]

And that is why it is an abomination.

Disgusting. Vile. I would die before eating that filth.

[goron-king-darunia]

I have eaten penne lisce. Objectively the worst pasta. If you sneeze too hard in its general direction, any sauce on it will fly off. You can literally cook it in tomato sauce and it will still taste of nothing. Even if you stuff cheese inside it by hand, meticulously, individually, it will fall out. No friction on these fuckers. Bad pasta.

I love how this global situation has brought us to the absolute limits of our humanity in all ways.

Almost 200 people were murdered in Armenia in 3 days and y'all are still ignoring us.

This is not a war, this is a massacre Azerbaijan and Turkey are committing against the Armenian people.

Turkey's president literally admitted that he wants to finish what his ancestors started. He wants to commit another genocide, and this time he wants to kill us all.

Silence is violence

[fuck-you-hypocrites]

Update: it's been over a month. 2 thousand people were murdered so far. Please, I'm so scared, just reblog this. I'm not asking for a lot, if you can't donate that's fine, just share this.

im so tired of ppl trying to figure out if/what mental illnesses or learning disorders trump may have to “figure out why hes the way he is”!

hes the way he is because hes a rich white abusive bigot! not because of a possible mental illness or learning disorder!

assuming that terrible ppl are terrible because of mental illnesses literally just enforces the belief that ppl with mental illnesses are inherently dangerous which,, literally gets ppl abused and killed
