A grandmother seeking asylum was separated from her disabled grandson at the border. It’s been 10 months.

Maria Vandelice de Bastos hasn't seen her grandson for 10 months, since they crossed into New Mexico at a port of entry seeking asylum, according to her attorney. Her grandson has severe epilepsy and autism.

"Asked what would happen to Matheus if his grandmother is deported, Beckett said the government would have custody of him until he’s 21.

'After that, who knows,' he said."

I think part of why I’m always in a varying state of disbelief about our relationship, is that growing up in certain conditions, with certain conditions, you sort of come to terms with the fact that you might never find someone. You tell yourself who would willingly take this on? Who would want to bother? When it first comes about and you don’t know how to control it, writing yourself off is such an easy thing to do; you do it without even realising it.

  Now, I could be talking about a number of things but in my own, personal case, I was diagnosed with epilepsy, Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy. Seeing my epileptic cousin find a woman whom loved and cared for her, despite the constant fits and trips to the hospital, I was sure she was just a lucky one. Not because she didn’t deserve it; I adored my cousin, I just couldn’t understand why someone would want to stick around when I couldn’t brush my hair without the brush flying halfway across the room, I couldn’t bring my plate from the counter to the dinner table without it ending up on the floor.

  It’s been over five years and I still apologise when I fit mid-sentence.

  For anyone that’s ever had this kind of thing diagnosed later in life, you probably faced the usual accusations that you’re just looking for attention. To put it into context, my sister had spent the past four years making our lives a living hell and just as things began settling, up started my symptoms. My entire family believed I was seeking attention after everyone had been so focused on her bad behaviour, no seizure passed without ridicule from one of them. If you know anything about epilepsy, you’d know that your emotions can cause you to seizure; needless to say, the more I was told off, the more I seizured.

  If you are told every day that you are lying, there comes a point where you start to believe it. I began questioning whether or not I really was just doing this for attention, was I subconsciously making this happen? It’s safe to presume that I’ve held a little resentment over those months; forgiven, not forgotten, isn’t that how the saying goes? Sometimes, on nights like tonight, I wonder if I really have forgiven. How could I when it still feels so raw?

  I suppose what I’ve been leading up to, is that I never saw myself here. I never saw myself in love with the most amazing woman, and her loving me back. I didn’t think I’d find someone who spoke of forevers; that when I fit, the only thing running through her mind is why? She wants to know what I’m thinking and tells me she thinks it’s cute. She hasn’t seen me throw a drink over myself yet but she makes me feel as though it wouldn’t matter anyway. I guess that’s what love is, trusting someone to love you no matter what, and to love the parts you’re most self-conscious of, twice as much.

please tell adidas it's not ok to include strobe effects in their advertising

Adidas has an ad for their true boost shoes that features a yellow to black full screen flashing/strobing effect for a good 3-5 seconds. I am lucky that all I have to worry about are severe headaches (which has happened twice in the last week from this one ad) but for many this is downright dangerous. Please call 1-800-982-9337 or email at [email protected]  and tell them this is dangerous and not ok! Even if you aren't able to contact them please signal boost. This shit is not ok!
