the way monkeypox is being branded as not really an issue and only affecting men who have sex with other men, is honestly so heartbreaking. did we not learn anything from the 80s AIDS crisis?

[geiser]

monkeypox can be spread through sex, its true, but i've seen way too many people making light of the situation, jokes like "oh lol nothing to worry about im a virgin!" or "well im not having gay sex so" and lowering their guard, when according to the who "Monkeypox spreads from person to person through close contact with someone who has a monkeypox rash, including through face-to-face, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-skin contact, including sexual contact. [...] Environments can become contaminated with the monkeypox virus, for example when an infectious person touches clothing, bedding, towels, objects, electronics and surfaces. Someone else who touches these items can then become infected.  It is also possible to become infected from breathing in skin flakes or virus from clothing, bedding or towels. This is known as fomite transmission." and it can also be spread from animals to humans, rodents being one of the possible animal hosts.

[geiser]

be careful, check your symptoms, isolate if neccessary, and remember that anyone can get or pass on monkeypox.

hi. this an extremely serious post.

so, Big Oil's lawyers, Texas, and other states with a very little IA/NA (Indian American/Native American) populatuion has decided that The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) is unconstitutional. because of this, they decided to being it up to the Supreme Court for decision making. they believe that ICWA is unconstitutional. this fall, they will have a discussion on whether or not this will be overturned.

This is a summary from the Lakota People's Law Project

"If the Supreme Court overturns the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) — a federal law that keeps Native children with Native families — tribal sovereignty could soon be a thing of the past in the U.S. Should the justices rule in the plaintiffs’ favor in the case of Brackeen v. Haaland, we could quickly see a return to blatant, pre-1978 genocidal practices — when Native babies were legally stripped of their families, culture, and identities."

Key Points to Take Away

Big Oil's lawyers, Texas, and three other states with very few Native inhabitants are attacking the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).

The Texas Attorney General is asking the Supreme Court to declare ICWA unconstitutional.

The Plaintiffs argue that tribal affiliations should be considered racial, rather than political, designations.

Overturning ICWA could be the first legal domino in a broader attack on tribal rights and sovereignty.

ICWA was enacted to protect the interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families. Overturning ICWA will be the first domino to effect Tribal Sovereignty as a whole.

Before you do anything else today, please sign this petition telling President Biden and The Department of Justice to defend ICWA, Haaland, and Tribal Sovereignty with all available means.

we need your support. please.

wonder how many people are going to be put off from donating to planned parenthood and end up accidentally donating to their local crisis pregnancy center instead. like i'm sorry but if you think planned parenthood is doing just fine, research is clearly not your forte

[crafty-butch]

ok i was being snarky, but it occurs to me that people genuinely might not know this: crisis pregnancy centers are not real, licensed health clinics.

they exist primarily to discourage people from getting abortions. they are usually anti-contraceptive in addition to being anti-abortion. and, most importantly, they lie.

they lie about the risks of abortion. they lie about whether their "patients" are too far along for a legal abortion. they lie about contraceptives. they usually set up shop next to legitimate health clinics so they can steer people away from the places they might actually get help.

here is a map of cpc's in the US (note that this is not necessarily comprehensive). and here are some articles to help avoid them. there are lots of tells, but often the biggest clue is in the name. take a really skeptical look at any organizations calling themselves:

pregnancy resource center

pregnancy care center

pregnancy support center

pregnancy help center

pregnancy center

women’s health center

women’s resource center

abortion alternative center

life choices center

options clinic

"cis women are not the only ones who suffer under abortion bans" and "abortion bans are a misogyny issue because it stems from the desire to regulate the bodies of (people who are perceived as) women" are statements that can coexist.

This first thing I thought when I woke up from surgery was I am so hungry and I need ramen right now! but the second thing I thought was Oh my god, I'm safe.

I was safe.

I thought about having kids someday, but the thought was always divorced from the concept of having to grow them in my body. Whenever I thought about it, I would either start screaming or my mind would shut down. My worst nightmares featured discovering I was pregnant, and realizing I would have to keep it, and go through childbirth. I was terrified.

I got the surgery, and realized I was safe, and I never had those nightmares ever again. It was like finding out I was bulletproof.

Later, I looked at the broken condom, and I didn't see my life flash before my eyes. I didn't see my hopes and dreams turn to ash as I pivoted all my energy into a child I didn't want. I didn't see a possibility of starvation or homelessness because my already modest income went to a child I couldn't afford. I didn't see my disabled body becoming further disabled, or killed, by a pregnancy that I didn't want.

This post was flagged as "adult content" but I successfully (and very quickly) got my appeal approved.

To whatever conservative fuckhead who reported this as inappropriate, it didn't work, and it's still here, and I'm going to keep posting it forever so I can help people obtain the medical care they need. I hope poison ivy fills your yard, and may all your pets forevermore be maliciously incontinent.

Here’s the original thread from Twitter but I want all my followers protesting the recent supreme court decision to stay safe.

How ‘bout you get a life, get a job and not be stupid. Abortive of the unborn was never a constitutional right. It’s not a legal issue, it’s a legislative issue up to the states - seems you pissing in the wind not knowing about the 10th amendment.

[lemuel-apologist]

“it’s not a legal issue, it’s a legal issue” are you… are you serious right now?

Even if you don’t htink that people should be allowed to have the right to bodily autonomy (and they should), the right to safely protest is a Constitutional right. Somebody spreading information and tips on how to do that isn’t doing anything wrong, you insane weirdo.

[panstarry]

don’t talk to the cops! they aren’t joking when they say that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. be sure to use these words exactly; no uncertainty in upholding your rights.

[panstarry]

[image description: a graphic composed of blue and green typography. the title reads “what to say if you’re being arrested.” next to it is a note that reads “the cops will [definitely] do & say some unsavory shit, so study up & know [your] rights!” the first line reads “am i free to leave?” & “am i being detained?” in a large typeface. the following text is split into two sections.

first section: 

yes, you are free to leave. you are not being detained. 

leave.

*please note: 

DO NOT make small talk no matter how awkward it gets. 

DO NOT answer any questions about your political beliefs.

lying to the authorities is a crime, and the more you talk, the more material they have to pin something against you.

any info can land you and / or your friends in jail. keep quiet!

look up important phone numbers, write it on your body.

second section: 

no, you are not free to leave. you are currently being detained.

if you are under arrest, you have the right to ask why.

“i am invoking my right to a lawyer.”

“i am invoking my right to remain silent.”

do not say or sign anything without a lawyer present. you don’t have to consent to a search of you or your stuff.

at the bottom of the graphic is a line of text that reads “sources: aclu, national lawyers guild. please look up laws by state! you may have to give your name / address, depending on local legislation. also look up your rights to record.”

END ID]

[panstarry]

always relevant, but now more than ever please study up on your rights and what to do in the event that you are arrested. as of june 23, 2022, in vega v tekoh, police are no longer able to be sued over violations of your miranda rights (aclu). you should know the phrases “i am invoking my right to an attorney” and “i am invoking my right to remain silent”. please look into your local national lawyers guild and bail support networks. (know your rights: aclu, national lawyer’s guild)

[gautiersylvain]

to my fellow usamericans….in light of the supreme court overturning roe v wade, well known organizations like planned parenthood dont need your money right now - they have plenty - if you’re going to donate, donate to your local or state abortion funds

[gautiersylvain]

the national network of abortion funds allows you to split your donation between 91 abortion funds in the united states -  it lists every fund your donation goes to and allows you to customize the amount you give to each fund

This is Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy and fault.

[katelyn-danger]

Don't forget Obama, who in 2008 had the chance to codify the Right to Choose act (which was one of his campaign promises) but didn't.

Don't forget when Democrats stood around and let Republicans postpone the appointment of a new supreme court justice until Trump was in office.

Don't forget when the leak happened and they voted to protect Supreme Court Justices from protestors.

Democrats will try to blame this on Republicans and the Evangelical Fascist Right. But they're guilty too. They stood by and watched, hoping to use this as campaign fodder in the Midterms.
