“CRIMINALLY INSANE” STATE HOSPITAL JONNIE LACE // USA, c. 2017

Entwined Series ~ I have these pieces up on my INPRNT ! 

[guerrillatech]

[pennie-dreadful]

She had third degree burns on her genitals, needed a skin graft to repair the damage and was permanently disfigured, and left disabled for two years. Part of her original $20,000 claim was for her daughter's lost income while she cared for her. Also, there were 700 previous complaints of people being burned by McDonald's coffee, which they quietly paid off. They offered Liebeck $800.

[deathtalksaboutlife]

Stella Liebeck was 79 years old at the time of the incident, and the settlement helped her pay for a live-in nurse as she was partially disabled for two full years after being so badly burned she went into shock. She passed away in 2004 with little to no quality of life per her own daughter. She originally sought $20,000 dollars to cover her eight day hospital stay (including skin graphs) and compensation for her daughter's lost wages after she spent three weeks providing round-the-clock care.

Incidently, liquids served at 190 degrees is capable of causing third degree burns--which cause severe, permanent damage all the way to the muscle layer--within 3 seconds of contact with human skin. If you have a strong stomach, you can even find photographic evidence of her wounds with a quick google search. This didn't stop almost every major news outlet perpetuating MacDonald's coordinated smear campaign against her. MacDonalds' justification for this was basically, well, all fast food is hot and we have better things to worry about. Literally. This deliberately manufactured overly litigious gold digger stereotype is still remembered today via the Stella Awards, which mocks all the "frivolous" lawsuits against your favorite brands. Named after a little old lady who was permanently disfigured and handicapped from a ridiculously dangerous product.

Classy.

Never, ever take a corporation's side over a private citizen when lawsuits are involved.

[thebiscuiteternal]

She eventually died under the care of a live-in nurse from infection complications due to the fact that the damage had to be treated repeatedly over multiple years. While being mocked *worldwide* and constantly hassled by the media. The last few years of this woman's life were a miserable hell because McDonald's was too cheap to pay her medical costs when she asked.

[randomslasher]

Not just that--the last few years of her life were miserable because McDonald’s was too cheap to throw away old coffee. 

[lookskindadeadinside]

Everyone should watch the documentary Hot Coffee. Starts out with a pretty thorough explanation of the McDonald's vs. Liebeck incident & case, then dives into how the idea of the ~perpetual victim who wants to sue everyone and get free money with frivolous lawsuits~ is a myth and that tort reform has made it harder for people with actual harm done to them to get compensation for it.

You have brain damage, you silly cunt. Social justice is a disgusting plague for miserable and hysterical losers aiming to keep racism alive and justified by hiding behind technical jargon that normal humans wouldn't understand. What a miserable pile of shit you are :).

ooooOOOOOoooo you knoW Me sO WELl :) because I know allll the jargon and have oh so much to hideee.

this is pretty ironic coming from an “anon”. you’re probably a white cis person pissed off by something I shared and the fact that I blocked you *shrug*.

You are still unaware and very unfortunately misinformed. There is nothing more plague-like than tumblr creeps like you who come back to my page hoping to have some kind of significance here. There is also nothing more miserable than someone who also suffers under this miserable system blaming those fighting for people power and new futures.

So I’m not sure what you are seeking from me, but you might want to unpack that load of yours elsewhere! miserable-crosses aka @multiple-crosses

[theconcealedweapon]

[sacredcraft]

Yeah, pre-exisiting conditions can also be compounded trauma caused by living in a capitalistic, racist, ableist, heteronormative society.

Also most pre-exisiting conditions/medical histories are caused by generations of people living in unhealthy environments because capitalism/colonialism shoved them there.

[razorbeam]

This is what brain damage from social justice does to you. 

[sacredcraft]

Not only are you displaying a disgusting amount of cognitive dissonance and genuine lack of research and awareness; you are displaying the fact that you are an ableist dipshit equating what i said to brain damage. Fuck off @multiple-crosses

[sameenaf]

The United States has over 100 military bases world wide and they’re getting their capitol seiged by a bunch of losers who refuse to wear masks and think going to Denny’s in a pandemic is their god given right like this country is laughable and they’re letting it happen too which is the most comical part

[sacredcraft]

yeah I mean, the cops literally opened the barricades for these white supremacists....

just for them to get in the capitol and accomplish nothing. it’s was basically a tantrum.

Hey shoutout to

People with “minor” disabilities who aren’t sure if they belong in disabled spaces

People who have rare disabilities and don’t see other people with the same disability, even in disabled spaces

People who’ve been told nothing is wrong with them even though is something clearly wrong that now feel like they’re just making stuff up

People who have been dismissed by doctors because they didn’t fit the image the doctor had of what a “sick” person looked like

People who tried to get help for their problem and are still waiting

People who have unaddressed health problems in general

Y’all are great and deserve the world!

SUPPORTING NATIVE PEOPLE IN NORTH AMERICA

During holidays like Thanksgiving, which perpetuate colonial myth and erase the historical struggles and current threats facing Native people living in America, it is important to shift the conversation back to uplifting, supporting, and celebrating Indigenous people. 

Under the cut, we have curated a list of several Native charities, organizations, and relief funds to donate to this weekend. If you can’t donate, please consider reblogging. 

We wish you all a safe and restful holiday weekend. ♡

Keep reading
