Credit card companies will TRY to saddle you with this kind of debt by the way - if ever a loved one dies and you are not co-signed on their credit card, do NOT agree to pay their debt unless you ask a lawyer first if you truly have to.

They will say “don’t you want them to go to the grave without debt”, they will try to guilt you, they will take advantage of your vulnerability.

Source: when my father died, he had some credit cards that my mom wasn’t on that she had no access to. The companies contacted her while she was sorting through the bills and getting a handle on how to run the house alone, badgering her with his credit card debt.

She wasn’t liable for any of it, but if she had ever agreed to pay before finding out that she didn’t need to, she would have been considered to have taken on his debt and would have HAD to pay it. It’s slimy, it’s predatory, and it’s entirely legal for them to do this.

Never accept the credit card company’s word about your obligation to pay anyone else’s debt, if you don’t have access to the card, ask a lawyer before agreeing to anything.

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

hey. talk to your coworkers about this. remember that the "taking advice from everyone except the experts" thing cuts both ways. you can be the non-expert guy at work who isnt an expert and gives someone advice they decide to follow based on vibes, but your advice can be the right advice instead. this is something we can all do.

the vitamin k shot has zero side effects, it doesnt contain any mercury or any other unsafe stuff, it is literally just a vitamin that does nothing except prevent babies from bleeding to death internally. its one of those things that does absolutely nothing except what it's supposed to do, is cheap, and has drastically reduced infant mortality this century and the last

why is it so hard for people to grasp that disabilities disable and chronic illnesses are chronic. yes even when it inconveniences you. yes even when your patience runs out

Conventional ideas about Health And Fitness need to be killed violently for a lot of reasons and usually my personal beef is in the vein of diet culture However ☝️ as I'm starting physical therapy & learning how to exercise without hurting myself (hypermobile) I find a vengeful rage boiling up in my stomach when I think about how grown ass adults were treating me & my body as a kid. Like oh I'm supposed to stop if it hurts? Every 30 or 40 year old with a god complex said hurting me was the point, more or less. Does everyone need to be shot for doing that to me

[tlirsgender]

The way people will just gleefully physically harm children + criticize their bodies + imply their weakness is a moral failing & tell them that's what Exercise:tm: is. & the whole time the kid in question is like that because they have like. An undiagnosed genetic condition. Girl we need to kill everyone

I think the most common casual ableism that I experience is people not slowing down when I’m walking with them. These people know I’m disabled, sometimes I’m actively telling them about how it’s difficult for me to walk, and yet they still walk two to three feet ahead and look back at me in annoyance that I’m walking slow. What’s the point of walking faster until you’re a few feet ahead and then slowing down and then speeding up again? Just walk at my speed it’s not that hard!

this is honest to god what we should all feel like at all times

[daftpatience]

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

[daftpatience]

ohhh this one resonated didnt it
