Don't use Facebook (including Instagram and WhatsApp), Twitter, TikTok, Tumblr, really any social media app or messenger, forum, or even Discord if you are seeking an abortion. Only use things like Signal (assuming it's still safe) that are heavily point-to-point encrypted.

Tech corporations aren't your friends, they will rat you out to fascists.

The h*rry p*tter books were racist and antisemitic to begin with. And especially now with Rowling’s rampant and evil transphobia that is literally making life for trans people in the UK as well as the rest of the world worse, I don’t understand how anyone with a conscience could joyfully engage with her work. As a trans person who used to like her books as a little kid, it’s truly not that hard to let them go. There’s no separating the ‘art’ from the ‘artist’ here… prioritize the lives of trans people and minorities over your ‘childhood nostalgia’ for fucks sake

Fat and thin people with kidney failure experience similar benefits to health and longevity when they receive a live donor kidney transplant. 

Yet fat patients are routinely denied kidney transplants until they lose weight, a delay that can increase the risk of serious complications like graft loss by as much as 68%. 

[bigfatscience]

“It’s not fat phobia! Fat people have higher rates of complications from surgery!! Doctors are just being prudent!”

People with diabetes and hepatitis C are not routinely denied kidney transplants, even though their conditions dramatically increase the risk of complication and death.

Also, when they are on dialysis, fat people have a survival advantage over thin people. Does this mean we should deny thin people dialysis until they can gain weight? Wouldn’t that be prudent?

“If you give a fat person a kidney, you’re throwing away an organ that could save someone’s life!” 

Providing kidney transplants to fat people saves lives. Fat people who receive a kidney transplant experience a 48 - 66% reduction in the risk of death in the year following the transplant, compared to fat people who do not receive a transplant.

“Fat people have higher rates of complications sweaty, that’s why they are denied transplants <3″

Fat people have an approximately 20% to 40% greater risk of death in the eight years following a kidney transplant compared to thin people (although we cannot know if that increased risk was caused by a delay in treatment, weight regain post transplantation among patients required to lose weight, or another confounding factor). But that risk is far outweighed by the survival benefits of transplantation, leading researchers to conclude that “obesity should not be a contraindication for transplantation.”   

[bigfatscience]

But honestly, this entire conversation is despicable. Inhuman. Soulless. People are actually conducting research to determine whether fat people should be offered life-saving medical care. Our world hates fat people so much, that this question seems reasonable to ask.

one thing that I think that causes capitalists to misunderstand discussions of anti-capitalism is firmly rooted in the fact that many of them mistake their own cultural values for human nature. one of the most popular arguments I hear against socialism is that it will always fail because human nature dictates that you must have personal incentive to work, and without that, most people won’t work if they don’t need to.

however, one of the very first things you learn in the field of cultural anthropology and related studies is that the things we often take as basic human nature are often wildly different or completely lacking in other cultures because the cultural values are entirely different. it’s one of the major reasons for inter-cultural conflict and fuels xenophobia. “those people are different from me in a way that I do not understand. they do not play by rules of basic human decency, and, therefore, they must be Bad.”

if you as a society value work that benefits the whole community, people will work to benefit the whole community. if you as a society value people over money, people will put people over money.

capitalists always pretend that nobody will want to be a doctor without monetary incentive, and personally I think it’s really telling about them as a person that they think “saving lives” couldn’t possibly be incentive enough for someone to become a doctor without a shit ton of money pouring in as well.

[skepticalspectacles]

It’s also important to note that poor folk under capitalism are obviously going to see money as a priority. When money is the cure for hunger, homelessness, and illness, of course they’re going to leap toward monetary incentives.

Survival under capitalism means giving up happiness and morality to put food on your table and a roof over your head, and the system was *designed that way*. They always seem to think that human nature is how people act under the rules the capitalists themselves, wrote.

stop taking marx as gospel. i don't know how else i can explain this. he can be wrong. he often was. he was literally just some guy. i don't care that he said XYZ, that is not a proof of anything. make your own arguments. you can refer to him, sure, but a quote of his can't be the basis of your argument, you need to actually justify it in a meaningful way. marx is not a substitute for thought.
