I keep seeing people talking about the “Red Mirage” the idea that it only looks like Republicans are winning and it could still go either way.

I fucking hope so because my anxiety is spiking.

[vaspider]

Yes. So here's what happens:

Voting is reported by precinct.

Smaller, more rural precincts finish counting first and report first. These tend to swing much heavier towards R than D.

This makes it look like a state is fully and quickly "going red." This is the Red Mirage.

Bigger, more urban districts take longer to count and may stay open to allow everyone in line to vote. (STAY IN LINE)

As those urban districts, which swing much heavier D, start to report in, we see what the news calls The Blue Shift.

In addition, some states don't allow counting of mail-in/absentee ballots to begin until election day.

Those ballots tend to lean very heavily D.

As those ballots come in, the Blue Shift gets more pronounced.

That's what Trump was complaining about 4y ago about how "oh suddenly at 2 am all these votes out of nowhere." Those were absentee ballots being reported.

Additionally, deep red states are most likely to be called very quickly after polls close. This is why it looks like Trump is way ahead in electoral college votes right now.

The Blue Shift is no guarantee of how a state will eventually go, but don't freak out. This is gonna be a long night, and it may take several days before we know for sure how things will go.

[cal-is-a-cuddlefish]

All good and true information. Don't lose hope. Don't panic. It looks scary right now but polls only closed less than two hours ago in the first states. We have a long way to go.

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal

[lingering-spirit]

this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.

he gave me 100

[kadenonio]

This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.

Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.

[vandigo-deactivated20180131]

I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart

[teacupdream]

Adding another diagnostic tool! This is something we use in the ER called the rebound test. Basically, appendicitis and cramps react differently to certain things. If you’re still not sure if you have cramps or appendicitis, take two fingers and press them into your abdomen where the pain is (try repeating this on the lower right quadrant of the abdomen just to be sure.)

When you press in firmly, it will probably hurt. Here’s the test: LET GO. Does it get better or get worse? Appendicitis will immediately hurt worse when you let go. Cramps will not. Go to the ER if the rebound test makes it worse!

[rainbowrowell]

THE REBOUND TEST IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

My husband got sent home from the ER with a rupturing appendix. When he came back and was rushed into surgery, the surgeon was super angry – “Why didn’t anyone do the rebound test?!”

[deinde-prandium]

All great info, but there is another lesson to be learned here: if you’re in major pain, it’s probably important - so don’t let anyone tell you it’s not. There is a documented pattern of women who go to the ER with complaints of pain being dismissed as overreacting…when in reality women have an incredibly high tolerance for pain, to the point that some don’t even realize exactly how serious their condition is. These stories only serve to illustrate this point.

Every time I see this..

[benn-bros-and-hockey-hoes]

^the women have a high pain tolerance thing…my orthopedic surgeon, the first day I met him laid me down and messed with my shoulder. At this point I had been told by doctors and another orthopedic surgeon I was overreacting and making my pain up…for months. There were days I missed class because I couldn’t get dressed. Anyways, he laid me down and messed with my shoulder. When he was done he helped me sit up, and went and sat down across the room from me. He looked me dead in the eye and said “I just dislocated your shoulder, put it back in, and you didn’t flinch. You needed surgery four months ago.” He was pissed. Seriously, don’t take major pains lightly, in the abdomen or otherwise.

I hate men so much they literally are like this. Purposeful incompetence to avoid responsibilities they don’t want …………… the comments on this post on fb were So bad

Save the leftovers. Throw the whole man out.

Imagine being this fucking petty over a reasonable request to do even a fraction of the share of housework, and thinking you’re a good partner. Makes you understand how so many dudes can be clueless and full of shit on so many other topics, too.

I hope his wife poured a glass of spaghetti and gulped it slowly while making steady eye contact with him as her lawyer presented the divorce papers.

[soryualeksi]

“Haha, that’ll TEACH my wife!!”

Dude, you’re supposed to LOVE her. I hope she sees this and dumps your worthless ass. While she has that glass of spaghetti.

Don’t put up with stupid. If your husband or boyfriend does this may I suggest… well… treating him like the idiot he pretends to be? Use it as a “teaching moment.”

“Honey come here. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you didn’t know what Tupperware you have to use. Here, let me explain every container we have. That way the next time you have to put food away you know which container to use.”

And then proceed, in excruciating detail, which containers are which, what they are used for, the correct lids, and how to put on the lids. Do it in as condescending voice as possible.

If he tries to say that he knows, or tries to stop you in any way, just calmly say, “no, you shouldn’t be embarrassed by this. It’s okay to admit you don’t know how to do something. Next time just ask, sweetie.” And continue in as much inane detail as possible.

If he tries this bullshit again, pat him on the head, and say “good try, but let’s review” and then do it all over again.

Help out this First Nations Family!!!

Boozhoo/hello!

My cousin from my community needs help with fundraising for her daughter’s NG feeding tube supplies! Also, she hasn’t been able to work since she’s with her daughter in the hospital. Here is some background:

“Hello everyone, my daughter Emilia Bouchard is now 9 months. She was diagnosed with infantile spasms (seizure disorder) at 4 months. Emilia is delayed in her development, but will soon to get physio, occupational, and speech therapy. It’s been a long 5 months of trying to get her seizures under control with the right medication. She is still in the process of trying to find the right one. Doctors are trying to find a cause to her seizures, we are now going to see if genetics could be the cause. The doctors plan right now is to find a seizure medication that will hopefully stop the seizures completely. During her few months on a high dose steroid, her immune system weakened. She did have pneumonia 2x since then in which she had to be admitted in the hospital and put on oxygen. The last time she was admitted in the hospital 4 weeks ago, they decided to NG tube feed her because the doctors felt like when she was feeding orally with a bottle, the liquid was going into her lungs instead of her stomach, causing an infection (pneumonia). She is now currently on the NG feeding tube to this day and will be for a while until the dietian says we can start trying to feed her orally with a bottle. It may takes some practise for her considering she has been on NG tube feeding for almost a month. But I’m sure we will get there. Note; she has been off oxygen for almost a week now :) progress. She is getting there slowly. Since she will be on the NG feeding tube for a while, I’m asking for any donations to help cover the costs of the feeding pump and supplies. Prayers and thoughts are much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. https://www.gofundme.com/f/emilia-bouchard?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cf%2Bshare-flow

Hi all, My friend sadly took her own life on Sunday and so I’m dedicating my Darkness Into Light walk this year to her. I’ve set up a fundraiser page and would be so grateful for donations, no matter how small.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with Darkness Into Light, it’s an annual 5k walk in aid of Pieta House, a charity which helps people who self-harm and those with suicidal thoughts, as well as support for those bereaved by suicide.  My page can be found here.  Thank you so much. x

one time there was a tumblr user with the url “pizza” and she would just comment on any text post about pizza saying “omg that’s me” and then we found out she had an entire tag dedicated to saying the n word

[thetyrannosaur]

One time somebody paid $750 for the url ‘hi’ and got deleted in less than a year for promoting weight loss scams

A person with an abusive nature will always register you standing up for yourself as an act of betrayal. Betray them.

[spacejelly710]

This is so important. As a good person, you may choose to stick around to prove to someone that you’re not a bad person. You have nothing to prove to a bad person. You cannot help everyone. You cannot fix everyone. It’s not your fault.
