the distortion of "there is potential profit we did not earn" as "there is money we lost" is fascinating and disgusting to me. "megamediaconglomerate lost $1,000,000,000 to piracy this year" is a flat out lie. it is not true. they did not have a billion dollars, that they now do not have. they felt entitled to one billion dollars, that they did not have, and still do not have. it's an infuriating perversion of the truth
1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.
2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.
3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. Youâve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didnât want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.
4. Make lists of things youâre good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list weâre that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.
5. Donât beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. Itâs counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,âWe donât talk to ourselves like that anymore. Whatâs something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.â
Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.
Audio ID: [âHello friends. Quick update from Minneapolis, Iâll try to make it fast. Last week there was another police murder. His name was Winston Smith. Twelve (12) plain clothes cops rolled up on him in his car and shot into his car and killed him.
Weâve been protesting, and as a result, two days ago at one of the protests, a white man drove through the barricades and hit several protesters, and he killed one. Her name was Diana Marie. When she got hit, cops showed up in full riot gear before an ambulance came, and when the ambulance arrived, the cops were blocking the ambulance from getting to them because there were so many of them.
Cops have been attacking protesters every time, and the National Guard is coming out in a day or two now.â] /End ID.
Caption ID: [âthere is a full-blown military occupation currently in minneapolis and no one outside of here (that i have talked to) has heard anything. social media posts are being suppressed, the news is reporting inaccurate things, cell service is being jammed, mass arrests being made every night, helicopters circling every night, i am terrified.â] /End ID.
Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.Â
DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(
Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
The nation's healthcare system has completely collapsed. Hospital Beds are in shortage. The hospitals are unable to provide oxygen to their patients. Medicines are unavailable in hospitals as well as in markets. Vaccines are in short supply. Even infected Healthcare workers are unable to get treatment in the hospitals they are employed at due to shortage of basic Healthcare needs.
Even if beds are available, the hospitals are telling patients to arrange for their own medicines. People have been running around and trying to arrange life saving drugs for their loved ones but to no avail. Doses come to market in hundreds while their demand is in thousands. My own family has been running around trying to procure them for my grandmother who has been admitted to the hospital.
Hospitals have been making frantic S.O.S calls for oxygen but even then they aren't recieveing it. Patients are left gasping for oxygen. Yesterday 25 critical Covid patients lost their lives at a major hospital in our nation's Capital due to shortage of high flow oxygen. The same situation is in many other states and cities. People are being forced to get oxygen on roads. Many hospitals don't have oxygen and are asking their patients to arrange it from alternate sources themselves.
Each day we wake up to a new record high in the number of daily cases and the number of deaths due to Covid-19. Yesterday it was 346,786 new cases and 2,624 deaths. Crematoriums have been burning 24/7 and helpless people are watching their loved ones die.
Does our government have a proper plan to deal with this situation? No they don't.
What has our central government been doing? NOTHING. They have been busy trying to win state elections for their party by conducting maskless rallies of hundreds giving no mind to Covid protocols and social distancing. Rather than trying to boost our Healthcare infrastructure during the past year they have been busy trying to defeat other parties in state elections. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO WASTE AN ENTIRE CRUCIAL YEAR WHEN THEY COULD INCREASE OUR NATION'S HEALTHCARE CAPABILITIES. Had they actually done what they were supposed to in terms of healthcare, we would not be in this situation. You can count on them when it comes to conducting press conferences to put opposition parties and their leaders down. BUT YOU CAN'T COUNT ON THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS
We have triple-mutant variant of the virus in our country and our government doesn't have a centralized plan to combat the situation. Our country's government has failed us. Now they are trying to put pressure on state governments to deal with the situation.
This is the worst health-care crisis in the history of our nation and our government is doing nothing.
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD. IF YOU CAN PLEASE DONATE.
