The executive order allows for indefinite detention of migrant families. He didn’t even put out the fire. He just put it with the rest of the fire.
it’s like people were made at him for setting the curtains on fire, so now he set the whole house on fire together
Mulan deserves much better than that
It’s literally not even fucking Mulan anymore. It’s just another random movie by now. Kids grew up with Mulan and are now older and want to see the potential that this movie could have to help society see that diversity is a good thing. It’s good for people to be themselves. And Mulan shows kids that sometimes you have to do hard things in order to achieve what you want/need. Why would they ever change something so drastic like that?

I get really confused when americans, when talking about universal health care are like ‘yeh but it’s not free sweaty :) :) you have to pay it through taxes :) so gotcha!!’
and I’m like ….???? That’s the whole point??? Everyone pays their fair share so that no one has to be turned away because they don’t have insurance??? And no one has to set up a Fundraiser page just so that they DONT DIE???? So people don’t put off going to the doctor because they’re scared of going bankrupt?? Because healthcare is a RIGHT and should be free at the point of access?!?
“So no one has to be turned away” she says hahaha go to a universal health care country and get a necessary operation in less than a few years and come back and talk shit.
Look at the cure rates compared to mortality rates in universal health care countries and compare them to ours, then talk shit.
Tear your ACL in a universal health care country and see what the people say if you should go to their hospitals or go to an American hospital, then talk shit.
2010. I’d been feeling a bit ill. Work was going nuts, so I figured it was stress. Pretty good call considering a week later work fired their entire IT department (of which I was part).
But then I got sicker. And it turned out I had cancer.
Burkitt’s lymphoma, stage 4a. It had spread into my brain and spinal column. 90% cure rate, but I needed nine months of chemo - and not the outpatient chemo, nope, talking multiple week stays per round of the magrath protocol. Drugs were about 10k an IV bag. I was unemployed. And there were complications.
Thankfully I live in a country with universal healthcare. And it didn’t cost me a goddamn cent to save my life. I’m now officially past the five year mark to move me from “remission” to “Cured”.
I’ve lived in a universal healthcare country my entire life. And I’ve seen the US system in action. Your system is fucked. Straight up fucked. You’ve got fucking Dickensian shit going on there, people dying on streets from preventable causes or ending up broke for breaking a hip. Your health insurance companies have you by the balls and people like you are begging them to squeeze harder. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
“But but but TAXESSSSSSSSS”
yeah no shit. That story above? Happened when I was 32. I’d spent 14 years of my life paying those fucking taxes that funded the system that saved my life. And guess what? Now I’m cured, I’m…Back..at work..And have been for several years…earning waaaay more money and paying back into the system. This shit doesn’t exist in a vacuum, dickhead. You’re not feeding some imaginary pack of leeches, you’re paying forward on your own damned healthcare so you don’t have to argue with an insurance company while trying to heal.
i also don’t get why americans can’t wrap their heads around the fact that universal healthcare is actually cheaper
like yeah your taxes might go up (hell, take a chunk out of the military budget, they might not even change) but you won’t have to pay ridiculous health insurance premiums. it’s a net saving, dumbasses.
Also I care about people that aren’t me
Also I care about people that aren’t me
-When I told the army doctor that sometimes my period pains make me unable to function for days, he didn’t even write that down. -When I told my dad “don’t touch me, I’m in pain” he backed down for a moment until my mom told him “she’s on her period”. Then he just laughed. -When I told my teacher before a big test that I was unable to do it because I was in extreme pain and could barely move at all, she said I was making up excuses and that it wasn’t a real reason not to do the test. -Wenever I tell someone about how different I feel during my period emotionally they say I’m just “making up drama”. We need to start treating people on their periods like actual human beings in pain.
-The fact that it occurs monthly doesn’t make the pain less real. It should be treated seriously and with respect. -The fact that the hormones effect the emotions doesn’t make your sadness less painful or the anger less valid or that terrible feeling of being lost less terrifying. Guess what? Hormones affect everyone. Feelings aren’t always rational. It should be also treated seriously and with respect.
Please stop mocking people with periods. Please stop dismissing us. Please stop violating our boundries. Please respect people with periods.
Period pain is real pain.
So I was doing some research on common medications for a pharmacology class at school, and realized that Wikipedia is calling out the outrageous practices of pharmacological sales in the US. Right up there in the main intro to the medication they’re showing how much the drug costs to produce, versus how much a typical course of treatment costs in the USA.
Amoxicillin, a front line antibiotic, typically taken at one pill per day. 10 pills cost between 0.20 and 0.50 USD to produce, marked up at up to 80 times the price in the US.
Salbutamol, AKA an asthma puffer, on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines (considered to be the most important basic medications needed to be stocked by a pharmacy/hospital), a life saving medication.
How about oxygen? A tank of oxygen, used as a basic treatment for everything from low blood oxygen to respiratory failure to maintaining oxygen while administering anesthesia for an operation?
Epinephrine/adrenaline, AKA an epipen, given to people having a type of severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis, where their airways swell and close up. A person in anaphylaxis will die without epinephrine/adrenaline. Costs at most $0.95 to produce, and they’re sold for $70 at the absolute cheapest for a single vial.
Naloxone/Narcan, used to stop an opioid overdose. $5.30, at most, to produce. $4500 to buy.
Bisoprolol/Zebeta, given for high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and heart failure, sold at over 1000% it costs to produce.
The combined birth control pill, ethinylestradiol/levonorgestrel.
Also, just so you’re aware, as of late Mat 2018, 1.80 GBP is 2.40 USD. For a three month supply of the pill. The same amount could cost you 150 USD in the United States.
The MMR vaccine, given to prevent mumps, measles, and rubella - diseases that could leave you deaf, blind, infertile.
Casual reminder that the for-pay medical system is vicious and morally bankrupt.
Emtricitabine/tenofovir is PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), the daily pill you can take to protect yourself from HIV. But the people in the US who need it most struggle to access it because of price gouging by its manufacturer, Gilead Sciences.
Mom gets real in Facebook post about why the anti-vaxxer movement is so dangerous for her daughter.
Also, if you’d rather make dead kids than have the possibility of your own kid become autistic you are garbage
Vaccinate. Your. Fucking. Children.
I really wish there was an option on those Customer Service Surveys that says specifically, “The representative I spoke to was lovely and helpful and deserves all of the raises but I think that you, as a corporation, should die in a fire.”
hey as somebody who works in one of those companies that sends out those surveys, never, NEVER mention how much you hate the company in them. just talk about the representative. then, go to the company’s social media page and blast your bad reviews there
those surveys decide our pay, they decide whether we get bonuses or not, they decide if we get to keep our jobs or not. i’ve read transcripts on surveys where it’s has been praising the representative but mentioned one bad thing about the company. that fell to the representative because they should have been enough to sway the customers opinion.
do not lower your standards, you deserve good things.

me: *opens a message 2 seconds after waking up* haha… i’ll reply to this later… *snoozes*
me two weeks later: wait a minute… Fuck
I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.

FAFSA is so fucking greedy and inconsiderate of students who just want to get an affordable education
lmao @ people dragging FAFSA for their bullshit qualifications:
I fucking hate FAFSA and took a lot longer to finish my prereqs because of them. My last quarter was ONE CREDIT under full time…still three classes but the last three classes I needed for my program weren’t all the normal five credits.
That drop in credits dropped my financial aid from 1,400…to 400…. that didn’t even cover the classes, let alone supplies and books one of which was 250. I couldn’t take those three classes, I had to take them ONE BY FUCKING ONE and missed out on applying for my program last year.
I called to ask why dropping one credit dropped my aid by over two thirds and was told they gauged my classes by my status as full-time or part-time, and suggested filing for a SECOND program I didn’t intend on applying for and taking a FOURTH class to get my full-time schedule back…all of that on top of my FULL-TIME job because they didn’t think that credits made more sense to judge a student’s workload than their status.
Because of FAFSA I had to wait an extra year before I could apply for my program.

Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.
