Hey all, my name is Shane. I had hoped not to do this, but after what… Shane M needs your support for Help Shane Cover Urgent Rent, Bill, an

hey folks. long story short, the past year and a half or so has been one of the roughest periods of my life, and it's come to an unexpected head in the past few months, which has resulted in me being super broke and unable to pay bills. i have a new job, but it's temporary and i don't have health insurance, and i can't cover all the needs i have as of this moment.

if you can help, you have my eternal gratitude, if not, that's okay, i know a lot of people have their own issues to deal with and i hope you're able to resolve them. just a reblog would mean a lot. thank you.

a big thank you to all the folks out there who've been reblogging and donating, this has honestly been going better than i expected and it's given me a lot of hope when i really needed it, i also hope you yourselves are doing well

i really hate to do this, but i'm bringing this post up again. my temporary job ended a month ago and i'm still looking for a new job to replace it. i've had a lot of initial interviews, and a second-round interview yesterday that i feel very hopeful about, but nothing solid is currently on the horizon. even if something good does happen soon, it'll take a few weeks to officially kick in and also pay me.

as a result, i am again super royally screwed financially at the moment. i've gotten a little unemployment insurance this time at least, but i'm dead-ass broke and in another 'will i be able to make all my payments at the end of the month' situation. i've tried looking into assistance to lower some of my monthly payments and other things, but i was essentially refused help until i'm fully employed again. this economy and country sucks and i'm so tired.

if you can help out or even just reblog so others can see, i'd really appreciate it. sorry for clogging your dashboard again.

I’m actually going to reblog a thing just because this is really important.

As someone who has epilepsy and used to have several grand mal seizures a day, I’d also like to add that “offer help” can range anywhere from keeping the person calm to explaining to them where they are and what they were doing to even just telling them they should sit and rest for a while longer (lack or coordination is common, and it can be hard to walk straight or see clearly).

It’s okay for them to take up to a half hour to fully regain their bearings and sort out what they were doing prior to the seizure. Just answer any questions calmly and be there for support.

If they come around and you start to panic or shake them or ask them what the heck is wrong with them they are going to freak out and panic too.

I cannot stress it enough that this is bad.

If someone has a seizure and they come out of it, please. please stay calm. They are likely disoriented and confused, even if it’s only for a minute or two, and you don’t want them panicking on top of that because they can have another seizure as a result.

IMPORTANT because last year a kid in my class had a seizure, none of us even knew he was at risk for them either so just cause you don’t think you know anyone doesn’t mean you don’t

stay safe

I have to stress how important it is to time a seizure. If it lasts more than a few minutes, call an ambulance.

DO NOT CALL THE POLICE. I’m dead fucking serious. I had a grand mal in public once and the POLICE were called and imagine coming out of the seizure, feeling like you got smacked in the head with a sack full of bricks, confused, dazed, in desperate need of some sugar to boost low blood pressure and some DIPSHIT has called the police and I was being threatened with being ‘drunk and disorderly’. It took a phone call to my doctors office to get them to back off. The police cannot properly deal with sick people.

Offer help can be:

assuring person where they are/what time it is

getting them something to drink if they can; seizure burns so much energy and does cause a blood pressure drop

getting them safely to transport or a carer

getting them some dignity like a blanket/towel [loosing control of your bladder and bowels is fucking horrifying]

ensuring they have a way to get home. Someone who has just had a seizure should NEVER DRIVE straight after

calling emergency services if you notice any of these symptoms because they may have stroked out.

Why you shouldn’t put anything in someone’s mouth: they will choke. Yes, they may bite their tongue but I can assure you it’s less traumatic than cracking your jaw on someone’s greasy wallet or choking on a spoon.

DO NOT HOLD ANYONE DOWN. Example: someone pinned my right shoulder mid-seizure a few years back and how I have a permanently displaced and clicking shoulder. Let the person flail around, those muscles are out of control and restraining them does cause more damage to the patient and you.

Oh that's a tumbler or roller pigeon! They're bred to do this! It's believed that the original inclination to tumble in the air was a tactic to avoid being caught by flying predators, then this inclination was bred in favor of doing it more. Some breeds can also fly normally for hours as well, and the most sound breeds are those that can make safe landings still. There's whole shows and competitions around tumbler pigeons!

There's more unsound breeds of course as well, but this one clearly has good control of its flight and landing. Well done pigeon!
