The stigma on addiction kills people. It fucking kills people. You are policing people so when they fail, they hide, they self harm and they die by their vices. If all you have is judgment for addiction and no sympathy or empathy for users, your opinion is less than worthless to me as the daughter of a life long addict. You are not better than any addict. You are one devastating period of life away from being them and even I don't wish that you face someone like yourself now, should that point come.

Addicts are not statistics, are not their vices, are not your negative health affects to a drug. Read: a smoker is NOT the embodiment of second hand smoke. They are users without safe use public spaces and I'm fucking begging you all to understand that people being mentally ill and doing things you don't like to cope is not the same exact thing as them choosing to harm other people.

Some of you hate addicts more than conscientious abusers and it shows. Some of you see them as one in the same and it shows.

Some of your opinions on addiction tell me everything I need to know about your understanding of children, offline sex workers and the homeless.

And I'm really fucking tired of sitting here in make belief land with you people as you miss my points deliberately as you preach abstinence and penance for a demographic you do not know and are not even a part of.

Why the fuck is a demand for empathy being met with such apathy and hostility. Fix it.

Israel Exposed — War Crimes Archive

Documented evidence of war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank.

[stoptheantisemitism]

One day Palestine will be free and evidence from archives like this will be important in helping bring these Zionazis to justice.

Started school to become a nurse practitioner while working full time as an RN (kill me)

[gay-tm]

One of my patients nominated me for a nursing excellence award 😊🥰

Just got done training my first employee after only being at my job for 4 months. Guess I’m an okay nurse.

My baby sister is fighting for her life.

She is only a child, yet she has already endured displacement, fear, and serious health challenges.

Our family is doing everything possible to help her receive the care she needs, but we cannot do it alone.

Every donation, share, and kind word means the world to us.

I will forever respect Animorphs for tricking kids who are just really into animals to read a book series by going “Hey you, you daydream about what it’s like to be a dolphin or a bird or a wolf? Have I got a book for you!” and then slowly radicalizing them with 50+ books of “There are no winners in war. Whatever ‘victory’ you perceive comes at the cost of sacrificing your own morals and killing the part of you that is human. In the end you will resort to murder, torture and war crimes and the knowledge of what you have done will haunt you for as long as you live.”

So the amazing thing is that after the release of the last book, the author K. A. Applegate was interviewed and asked about why she wrote such a super dark ending for the series. She responded (I’m paraphrasing here, I read this when I was like 11) “This is what happens when kids are forced into war. There are no fairytale endings for them. And if that upsets you, then go to the polls and vote to prevent this from happening to real children.”

I got to ask her about that rebuttal years later at a book signing event for her newer One and Only series. She laughed and said that her publisher had no idea she would say that, and if they knew they probably would not have let her do so. But she genuinely meant what she said and was proud it left an impression that lasted 20+ years.

Support authors with real morals, guys. It’s not hard.

"Touch book" has potential when "touch grass" misdiagnoses the problem like sometimes people don't need to go outside, they need to imbibe the wisdom of a proper tome to put their ideas into some necessary perspective

[tpwrtrmnky]

somebody's making a statement that's deeply ahistorical about the political movement they're ostensibly involved in? touch book.

spreading a misconception that can only happen from reading a lot of popular science about new discoveries without having ever learned the basics of the field? touch book.

getting so deep in a niche that you forget what the norms of the society you're in actually look like, and start saying very conformist things in an effort to be contrarian? I mean you could touch grass about that one as well but like. touch book.

[tpwrtrmnky]

sweeping and highly inaccurate claims about what intersectionality is?

touch book.

I wish I didn't write these words, but the heart is heavy, and the hand alone does not clap...

I work hard to raise funds for my family that touch souls that need us, but unfortunately... I feel like I'm struggling alone.

‏I didn't ask for money, just a share, a word, a simple support, a sense of responsibility.

But I don't see a response, as if what I'm doesn't matter to anyone, as if the pain of others doesn't reach.

Goodness is still in us, and I am sure that those who read now can make a difference, even with a small step.

‏Please don't leave me alone... Help me to help them
