Exploitation is root of most of our problems. You are given endless distractions, but most of what grinds you down is the bottomless greed/avarice of capitalism.

ANITA WHITE: THE TRUE ‘LADY A’

Photo by Dawn Lurcrisia-Johnson. Lady A herself from an interview at Rolling Stone:

My life was happy before I met them. And if they’re saying they’re an ally, they are lying to the American public.

How would I have thought to look at the trademark? Why would I have challenged them? They were going by Lady Antebellum before; they weren’t going by Lady A. Anytime I went on Google, I only saw Lady Antebellum; I never saw [them referred to as] Lady A. 

I was Lady A for 30 years, regardless of whether I have a trademark. This is what kills me about white privilege. Their advantages let them do whatever it is they want to do. They have people in their camp to go out and get these trademarks. I never had that. I managed myself, I booked myself, I put my brand name out there. “Lady A” has been tattooed on my shoulder for over 20 years.

The ideal situation right now would be for them to change their name. If they are in fact allies, they have the resources, they have the money, they can change their name. It wouldn’t cost them a dime. We have to remember the reason for the name change. If that wasn’t the true reason for the name change, none of this makes sense.

The only really good thing that might come of all this is that you might take the time to listen to Lady A yourself. 

Here she is performing her song “Honey Hush” (written about her grandmother) at Seattle’s High Dive in October 2019.

And a snippet from the title track of her 2018 album “Doin’ Fine”

She’s only got 719 subscribers at YouTube as I write this (I’m #719), so even if you don’t have money to buy her records, maybe y’all can do something about that subscriber count, here.

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.

reblog for that last bit to save a life

[smiling-grouch-deactivated20241]

If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.

You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!

[deminat-20]

That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

[letsgetoutofspace]

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?  

[morgrimmoon]

Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

THE SOLUTION TO THE OPIATE CRISIS IS MOTHERFUCKING NOT TO MAKE OPIATES MORE ILLEGAL OR HARDER TO GET

IT JUST FUCKING ISN’T!!!!!!!!!

[the-many-facets-of-folly]

How about stop the kick backs doctors get for prescribing them? Obviously the fact that they’re so readily available is an issue, but there are people that honestly need them for their pain. Are there long term alternatives? Yes, are they affordable in the United States? Probably not.

[star-anise]

Actually, the problem is not that they’re so readily available. They’re selectively readily available.

What started this all was really  OxyContin’s 12-hour dosing problem: Purdue lied about how long it’s effective for. The drug only lasts 8 hours for most people. If someone gets a month of Oxy, and takes a pill every time the last one wore off, they run out of pills on Day 21. And Purdue sued doctors for saying, “Okay, if you need three a day instead of two, I’ll just give you 90 for the month instead of 60.”

Also, the instant a doctor suspects their patient has become addicted to the drugs, they have to cut them off cold turkey. If someone just wants the drugs too much–say, they come in and say, “I’ve run out of those painkillers you gave me, they worked great but I went through them too fast”–a doctor can be legally prosecuted for writing them a scrip, because Drug Addicts Don’t Deserve Health Care.

Opiate withdrawal is quite literally hell. It is UNBELIEVABLY painful. When people are ALREADY in pain, and then go through the ACTUAL HELL of withdrawal, they get two choices:

1. Suffer

2. Buy black-market opiates, which are probably unevenly-diluted fentanyl or carfentanil, and risk dying of an overdose.

Option 3, which is missing: THE DOCTOR JUST GIVES THEM AN EXTRA PILL A FUCKING DAY.

Option 4: The doctor gives them a different, lesser opioid, and helps slowly wean them off opioids. (That whole “pharma companies that caused this problem are now selling drugs to solve it”? Literally the least part of my worries. Buprenorphine saves lives and should have been routinely available to begin with.)

Option 4: We just accept that people who are addicted deserve safe, legal drugs, supportive environments, and shouldn’t be treated like fucking criminals, and if we do that they’ll either live okay lives or actually take themselves off the drug when they’re ready to.

[sonnabug]

Also addicts that are just addicts without chronic pain still deserve to be treated like humans too

[star-anise]

Yes! Although honestly longterm addicts overwhelmingly have brain conditions rooted in early childhood toxic stress and trauma that means their brains basically aren’t able to self-soothe and self-regulate (abilities that drug use further atrophies), so they’re constantly marinating in the neurotransmitters that communicate “pain”. Even when nothing’s “physically wrong” with them.

Now, there are different KINDS of drugs that are better or worse for helping them live happy lives—opioids have some massive drawbacks so it might be better for their longterm health to find something different—but it’s not as though addicts without Chronic Pain™️ aren’t actually in chronic pain or don’t have conditions that non-negotiably need treatment.

So it’s all kind of uh… yeah. We need to stop criminalizing addiction and treat addicts like human beings and get them the healthcare they need, which ISN’T a 12-step group and Finding Jesus and “being clean.” We need it desperately.

[swolerbear]

Yeah @star-anise touches on an important note that is not talked about much - our model for addiction is completely wrong. The reason we don’t correct it is because our opioid epidemic is essentially an indictment of our entire system. Trauma that often results in addiction is baked into our society. The opioid epidemic is directly the result of capitalism, and it will continue to take lives until capitalism is abolished and replaced with a system that prioritizes human dignity and not greed.

[pastel-petticoats]

The idea that *any* sexuality doesn’t include trans people is inherently transphobic. Straight? You can be into trans folk. Gay? You can be into trans folk. Bi? Pan? Both include trans people, because we aren’t some other entity that needs a special category for you to be into us. We are our genders.

[bowsersex-deactivated20220424]

Autistic adults experience sexual attraction and have sex and maintain sexual relationships and want sex and have sex drives. That’s the reality, that’s how many autistic adults in the real world are. But when many allistic people take fictional representations of autistic people, they make the conscious decision “this character doesn’t experience sexual attraction” and it’s because they have this common idea that autistic adults don’t have sex or want sex because they’re too childish and disabled to make that decision for themselves. I’m begging you to learn what to do and what not to do when writing autistic characters cause I’m really tired of the autistic adult in media that doesn’t understand sex. I can barely think of more than five autistic characters that are even portrayed in romantic relationships. Be a little more thoughtful when dealing with this type of representation in fiction please

"Canada is racist too we are just consecutive gold medalists at it. "

[800-dick-pics]

canada owns 75% of the worlds mining companies that continue to displace black and indigenous people across the globe and on turtle island  canada is still fighting to displacing and erasing first nations peoples, by destroying their lands from mining/oil/gas/overfishing/forestry, has a long brutal history of forcibly taking children from first nations/black/latino people and putting them into white xstian homes. canada have more indigenous, black and latino people in prison

canada and the us have the same policy that if you try to seek asylum in one country you cant try to seek asylum in the other. canada is complicit in huge swaths of not just US colonial imperialist racist violence but also plays a large part on their own.  Regis was a black indigenous woman who fell to her death bc of police involvement #sayhername

“What we have essentially is the Toronto Police Service’s inability to respond appropriately to mental health calls and that situation being elevated when they’re responding to situations where the family members are Black and the person in distress is Black.”

your colonial genocider ancestors may have set up these borders but you are all the same, the system is the same.
