We are NOT your trend. Your timeline may be back to "normal", but remember that black lives still matter. My people and what we go through and have gone through are NOT your trend.

The other thing about measles is that it resets your body’s memory of other diseases. So all those times you’ve gotten sick? Your body’s memory cells no longer remember those illnesses, so even if you get the same type of illness again your body will react like it’s the first time you’ve been sick.

It’s so much worse than “just a disease”.

antivaxxers also sabotaged the human lyme disease vaccine. they literally conspired online in usenet boards to go out and participate in the vaccine trials, and they all proceeded to complain of arthritis, the only symptom of lyme disease they were apparently aware of. this caused media hysteria about the vaccine. if you remember the flu vaccine hysteria around the swine flu epidemic, it was kind of like that. despite double-blind trials being unable to support their claims and instead displaying that the vaccine was safe and effective, the damage was done, and the vaccine was shelved in the USA. you can get a lyme disease vaccine in Europe, but Europe has a different strain of the bacteria that causes lyme disease.

Lyme disease can become very serious, it can infect the nervous system and cause neurological problems especially in young children who are often bitten on the head or the neck, undiagnosed it can cause chronic health issues that mimic other diseases. Without safe prophylactic measures beyond trying to minimize contact w ticks, this has driven people who have had lyme disease, have chronic effects from mass-disseminated lyme disease infection, or people who believe they have chronic lyme disease to go to quack doctors and undergo unsafe, unapproved medical treatment in an attempt to stop suffering.

This would not be happening on the scale that it is if antivaxxers didn’t straight up execute a supervillain plot to sabotage the lyme disease vaccine bc this happened the same year andrew wakefield published his fraudulent research on the MMR vaccine

Katie Porter: You’ve got about 15 thousand contractors watching murders, stabbings, suicides, other gruesome disgusting videos for content moderation, correct?

Mark Zuckerberg: Congresswoman, yes, I believe that that’s correct.

Katie Porter: You pay many of those workers under $30 thousand a year, and you’ve cut them off from mental health care when they leave the company, even if they have PTSD because of their work for your company. Is that correct?

Mark Zuckerberg: Congresswoman, my understanding is we pay everyone, including the contractors associated with the company, at least a $15 minimum wage, in markets, in cities where there’s a high cost of living, that’s a $20 minimum wage. We go out of our way–

Katie Porter: Thank you, I’ll take your word at the wage. Reclaiming my time. According to one report I have, and this is straight out of an episode of Black Mirror, these workers get nine (*nine*) minutes of supervised wellness time per day. That means nine minutes to cry in the stairwell while somebody watches them. Would you be willing to commit to spending one hour a day, for the next year, watching these videos and acting as a content moderator, and only accessing the same benefits available to your workers?

Mark Zuckerberg: Congresswoman, we work hard to make sure we give good benefits to all the folks who are doing this–

Katie Porter: Mr. Zuckerberg, reclaiming my time, I would appreciate a yes or a no. Would you be willing to act as a content moderator? To have that life experience?

Mark Zuckerberg: I’m not sure it would best serve our community for me to spend that much time–

Katie Porter: Reclaiming my time. Mr. Zuckerberg, are you saying you’re not qualified to be a content monitor?

Mark Zuckerberg: No, Congresswoman, that’s not what I’m saying.

Katie Porter: Okay, then you’re saying you’re not willing to do it.

I see y'all claiming to support mentally ill people while making fun of the homeless drunk who talks to himself.

I see y'all claiming to support mentally ill people while avoiding and making fun of the weird kid in your class who has too blank a stare, who speaks oddly or not at all, who comes to school with greasy hair in yesterday’s clothes.

I see y'all claiming to support mentally ill people while looking down on and making fun of unemployed and less educated people and adults who still live with their parents as if these people are personally at fault for not being able to fit into a system that wasn’t built with them in mind.

I see y'all claiming to support mentally ill people while going “he must be insane” when hearing about killings in the media, not thinking about how the faulty association between mental illness and violence aggravates police brutality and other violence towards especially visibly mentally ill people of color.

I see y'all. And I don’t like what I see.

‪GOD I found another article about why ADHD kids say “I don’t know” so much. my entire childhood was getting yelled at for doing some ADHD shit and me not being able to offer an explanation when asked why I did something. ‬

Adding to this, its cause of our executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation (naturally there’s more things at play than just these two but I’m naming main aspects).

We tend to have alexithymia, meaning we have difficulty identifying and describing own feelings. 

You can’t say how you feel if you legit don’t know.

Self monitoring is an executive function; our self awareness about how we are doing presently .. which is hampered in ADHDers. 

You can’t say what you think if you legit don’t know.

I just remembered that kaz bekker killed a man by throwing him off a bridge because he told kaz about how he was blackmailing a black sex worker into having sex with him free of cost regularly bc he knew that she was keeping the gifts her client was giving her instead of giving them to her pimp who would probably have burnt her to death if found out. And i really think thats one of the most underrated scenes in SOC

Like the description of that scene was fucking ICONIC - the fact that kaz was about to reel that man back up the bridge after getting the information he needed from him but changed his mind after he told kaz that he had information about one of the girls at the menagrie,how kaz visibly got the homicidal note in his voice after he heard the man saying that,the fact that it become even more dangerous when he confessed that he was blackmailing her into giving him free sex bc that girl knew that shed be killed by tante heleen if he ratted her out to tante, the fact that kaz even tried to TELL that man how shitty it was that he was basically holding her life over her head to pressurize her into having sex with him .How kaz slowly began to let that man’s legs slide through his grasp and said “Its terible isnt it?Knowing someone holds your life in his hands” and threw him off the bridge after he screamed “Shes just a working girl!! im a good man” bruhh that was fucking awesome i fucking LOVE kaz bekker

White-collar crimes are never prosecuted with the force and urgency of even a parking ticket. It’s ridiculous and one of the many ways our system unfairly caters to the rich and powerful.
