This Fourth of July, I ask that you support Native Hawaiian independence.

The Kingdom of Hawai’i was illegally overthrown with the help of American businessmen and we have suffered under the iron grip of America.

Our land is simply seen as a vacation spot, my people are simply seen as tour guides and hula dancers. We have had our culture, our history, and our people turned into a commercialized joke by America.

The rampant tourism kills our islands with endless hotels, attractions and overcrowding. The housing and living costs are out of control because of the false “paradise” narrative. The Navy poisons our water and destroys our land. Covid has killed so many of my people due to the reckless and selfish nature of tourists. I have lost loved ones to this virus, because tourists “couldn’t stay away”.

My people have suffered. I have suffered.

We are more than your vacation. We are more than an aesthetic.

We are a sovereign nation illegally occupied by the United States of America.

Restore Hawai’i to Hawaiians. End the American Occupation.

happy disability pride month to mean cripples, nasty addicts, people with down syndrome who arent nice and talk constant shit, wheelchair users that WILL run you over, autists that dont care and arent about to pretend to, people who lie to their psychiatrists, people that sit on the floor in public places with no benches, amputees that lie profusely about "what happened"; to the "noncompliant", the "drug seeking", the "mean", the "difficult" and the "undeserving", and so on and so forth, i love us all and we deserve the world actually mwah mwah

I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

he jumped in a pool in the suit yesterday to celebrate the public pools opening for the summer btw

i am begging doctors to stop telling new adderall patients to start at 20+mg. you need to be starting at around 2mg and observing what happens carefully. some people are genetically vulnerable to amphetamine psychosis yes but thats not even what im talking about, i mean the standard 30mg adult dose is too high for most adults starting out and it is absurd to blitzkrieg someone with amphetamines like that.

if you get a new adderall prescription i am medically advising you to start your first dose at 5mg or below, same for ritalin. the entire idea of medication of this type is to titrate up slowly until you hit the homeostasis of your own tolerance, genetic metabolic factors, and use case. titrating DOWN from a dose thats too high is wasteful and unpleasant and puts you at higher risk of psychosis

i posted on here a few days ago the idle thought that i wondered if prescribing physicians are all on long term adderall tolerance anyway (based on the adderall usage stats in med schools) so they think their patients should be started at higher doses and one of my pharmacy industry mutuals replied to me privately and just said “yep” so keep in mind the entire field of western medicine as it exists today is practiced by functional speed freaks and adjust your expectations

ACCEPT the higher prescription dose, build up a surplus because the shortages will get you eventually, just dont take that higher dose at home until/unless youve worked your way up from a much lower dose

theres a reason this tweet is about 30mg of adderall

I know its kind of silly to say “don’t feel bad for canceling because of pain, fatigue, etc” because I know guilt is a reflex you can’t easily refrain from. But you can reason with yourself so instead I’ll say this:

Nobody can feel what you’re feeling but you. Nobody knows the severity of what you would be putting yourself through if you were to “tough it out.”

If you do “tough it out,” the purpose for you doing the thing will most likely not be fulfilled anyway. You probably will not be mentally present or engaged. You probably will not have a good time or get much out of it. Etc.

If people really have such a problem with it, thats a huge red flag. Being transparent about your needs and boundaries is a great way to weed people like that out of your life.

If you have any kind of chronic illness or disability, remember that you probably have a very warped judgement of what is “reasonable” to endure in terms of pain, fatigue, burnout, etc.

You didn’t ask for this, you don’t deserve this, there is no reason you should have to bear the weight of it alone. I bet if someone else was in your position, you wouldn’t mind helping accommodate for them?

Low energy days are truly sacred, take them seriously. Please respect your body’s signals. “If you do not choose times to rest, your body will choose for you” or however the saying goes

It is so much pressure to have to deliberate what sacrifices are necessary for proper self care. Give yourself extra credit for having to deal with that stress on top of whatever is putting you in that position in the first place. Thats a lot at once

You are leading by example and showing others that you would never expect them to hurt or overextend themselves for your benefit. Putting yourself first always inspires other to do the same.

Please be proud of yourself for even considering canceling and putting your needs first. That is so strong of you <3

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

Hey yall I just wanted to come on here and bring some attention to what’s happening at the detention center (really a concentration camp) Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey. There is a hunger strike going on right now to protest the abhorrent conditions within the camp (allegations of torture, maggots and other bugs in the food, etc) and protests happening outside the camp. ICE is not allowing any politicians to come in (as is their right) to see the conditions of the camp. I would urge yall to do your own research, but if you want videos of some people who are actually there, here are some tik tok accounts you can go follow: @ bethanyquilter/ @ whoiskingtrivv/ @ Status Coup News/ @ L.A. TACO

And here is a video explaining what’s going on in more detail than I provided.

With everything else going on in the world, it can be hard to keep up with stuff going on at home, but ICE is still out here terrorizing innocent people. We must keep our eyes on them, and keep fighting.

Feel free to add more sources or info to this post, should you have any.

Edit: a vid about ICE denying politicians entry, and the lies they’ve told.

Thank you for standing by my family. I know I keep asking, but your support is what keeps us alive, especially after the recent bombing that injured us all. Our sole focus right now is saving my brother Samer. Securing his vital medications and evacuating him for treatment is our only hope. Please share our story and encourage others to donate @hazemsuhail

Done. Sorry I’m not in a position to give a large amount right now. If this crosses your dash, please consider donating to help this family make medical costs and escape. Even a dollar adds up. A buck from 100 people matches the biggest donations most people get.

Unfortunately, my brother Mohammed will die - not only because of the delay or unavailability of treatment, but because many people see this post, refuse to share it, ignore his pain, and let silence become another wound.

@zohrankmamdani is reminding us what good government looks like.

[contemplatingoutlander]

This is what leadership that cares about the people looks like--rather than caring about the needs of billionaires.

We haven't had this in quite a while, and so it is startling to many that so much is getting done so quickly.

This is the spirit of FDR, which changed America for the better by making the government serve the people.

From Reagan to Trump, Republicans have made government the "enemy" and lowered taxes for the rich.

Working class people need to remember why their great grandparents voted for FDR.

Guys, donations are slowing down, and we still need your help.

My father is still in need of urgent care and medicine. Every day without treatment makes his condition harder.

Your donation is not just money.

It means medicine for my father.

It means clean water, food, and basic necessities for my family.

We are living in very difficult conditions, and providing even the simplest things has become a daily struggle.

I am doing everything I can, but we cannot get through this alone.

Help my father. Help my family. Share this.
