It's been so long since I've used this platform, it feels like visiting my old dorm room. My roots are actually in writing and I've unwittingly abandoned it for the more visual apps, especially when I started my art journey in 2020. Looking forward to using this corner of the internet again.
When Solange said “I can’t be a singular expression of myself, there’s too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many troubles, too many journeys, too many mountains, too many rivers, so many…” I felt it in my soul

Mind the company you keep. The energy around you is the energy that influences you. If you constantly have negative, shady people in your space, you’re gonna absorb that. Keep your space full of love and light.
Avengers the Reality Show Interview - Wakanda Edition
So I recently got surgery two weeks ago and on the day of the surgery, they had me waiting in a cold room in just a gown because they had to do a pregnancy test. I had just gotten off my period literally two days ago and unless I was miraculously the next Virgin Mary, I’m 100% not pregnant. The nurse barely looks up from her charts to acknowledges this before insisting that I had to take another test. If I didn’t take another one, they would immediately cancel my surgery. It was hospital policy.
I’ve had this condition all my life but its gotten completely unbearable the past few years and I’ve been actively going to the doctors the last two years trying different methods to allievate my pain and this surgery was my last chance at any type of pain free life. It took 6 months to schedule and if I had to wait another second, I was going kill somebody. Safe to say I was a little pissed. I sat in that freezing room, irritated with an IV needle sticking in my hand, waiting on the nurse to find records of my pee test that I did less than a two week ago at their request. She couldn’t find the test results. She handed me an empty container with a cheery smile and an obnoxious prep talk that I did not ask for and told me to fill it.
One of the preparatory requirements they gave me was that the night before the surgery I couldn’t consume any foods or liquid (water especially). So I couldn’t pee. I asked for some water and she reluctantly gave me a cup with two sip fulls.
My surgery was scheduled for 9 A.M, they told me to come in at 7:30 A.M. It was already 11:41 A.M. when I had to retake the test and I didn’t go in until almost 1 P.M. The fact that I had to go through that extra hoop and have the threat of my surgery being cancelled hung over me like a noose just because of a pregnancy test is beyond aggravating. People love perpetually valuing the potential of a possible fetus over the lives of already living women. We always seem to come second no matter what.
That’s sounds extremely stressful. I’m sorry you had to go through that on top of everything else. We aren’t effing incubators!
This is so common amongst girls and women dealing with medical care
[Medical/Miscarriage TW] Earlier this year I went to the ER on a Monday night with terrible abdominal pain, cramps, throwing up, the whole shebang. They did an ultrasound but couldn’t see anything so they attributed it to a bad stomach bug, gave me IV fluids & anti-nausea meds, and sent me home Tuesday morning.
They didn’t want to do a CT scan, you see, because ‘We don’t want to irradiate your uterus unnecessarily.’ Here’s the thing. There was NO way I was pregnant AT ALL because I was literally still suffering & passing the remnants of a fucking spontaneous miscarriage. Not only that, I told them: the miscarriage was a surprise and an accident. I do not want children, had not been trying to have a baby, and had not known I was pregnant until it stopped (it was a weird year).
I was severely dehydrated and on morphine but I do remember telling them ‘I don’t care about my uterus, I’m not using it.’ But because of their concern for any future potential other fetuses, they didn’t do a CT scan. And 20 hours later I got to experience the worst pain of my life, my first CT scan, and my first surgery when my appendix stopped just being infected and decided to go ahead and burst.
I don’t usually add my own $0.02 to posts but misogyny in medicine needs to stop.
They wouldnt take me in for my appendix surgery either until they proved I wasnt pregnant. I was 16 and a virgin. They didn’t believe me because “teenagers lie when their parents are there”.
When they left to process the test mom asked me, nicely. Said she wouldn’t be mad. I told her what another poster said above - unless I’m carrying the second coming of christ, no, I was not.
Surprise! I wasnt. Who could’ve guessed.
I had a partial hysterectomy about 10 years ago. It’s in my medical records, I tell them that whenever I need to have anything done to avoid the rigmarole of a test. I have a thyroid condition which requires radioactive iodine testing. You have to fast before the test so I scheduled it for early in the day to make sure I wasn’t going to be sans food all day. The tech refused to give me the dose until I took a pregnancy test. A blood test at that. I had to raise all the hell with his boss (and I mean all the hell) to get the test and to make sure he never pulled that shit again.
Gina Rodriguez is jealous, obsessed, and uncomfortable with the successes of Black women, and demonstrates a fake happy demeanor anytime Black women or their accomplishments are praised, whilst using our visibility or accomplishments as a platform to create opportunities for certain Latinas like when she proposed a Latin version of Girl’s Trip and a Latin superhero film after much talk about the record-breaking Black Panther or she diverts a conversation to be inclusive for “ALL women.” Like that time she tried to correct the interviewer below.
Go to the 2:00 mark.
The exchange probably appears to be an innocent complementary gesture by Gina towards Yara for people who are unaware of the usual overstepping sentiment of hers. Yara is indeed a great role model for young women. But correcting an interviewer so you can feel comfortable and included in a statement that solely praises the representation of a young Black woman for her fellow young Black women is fucking rude and uncalled for.
There are people of color who only care about phrases like “inclusivity” and “representation” solely when it benefits their race and/or ethnicity and they want the efforts of others—particularly Black people—to do the work for them.
Now with Gina’s recent remarks, she stated the following:
Her full statement: “I get so petrified in this space talking about equal pay, especially when you look at the intersectional aspect of it, right? Where white women get paid more than Black women, Black women get paid more than Asian women, Asian women get paid more than Latina women, and it’s like a very scary space to step into because I always feel like I fail when I speak about it because I can’t help but feel already so gracious to do what I do and I feel like, culturally, I feel like I was raised to just feel so appreciative of getting here.“
I’m not about to play no oppression Olympics over which race/ethnicity of actresses gets paid the least, but I’ma just leave this right here:
Back to the tweet by HP Latino Voices and Gina’s statement. Notice anything?
Pairing the long fought for achievements of Black people (Black women, in this case) with a “What about us Latinxs?” attitude is not only anti-Black AF, but continues to push for and perpetrate the erasure of Latinxs who are predominantly of African descent that is carried out and historically embedded in the DNA of Latin America.
BLACK LATINAS EXIST. BLACK LATINOS EXIST.
Not Black or Latinx. Black AND Latinx. Latinx is not a race, whereas Black is.
We’ve talked about this.
But when you’re Gina and do deliberate things like hosting a “Latina Power Lunch” and only invite certain shades and types of Latinas,
or longing for a colonialist superhero movie if she would pen one,
“I think it would be about Christopher Columbus coming over, the migration of the Spaniards, and the influence of the mixes [of people] in South America and in the Caribbean. That’s were my superhero movies would lay, like the 1400 or 1500s.” (Source)
how can one not suspect an agenda?…
On the same day the cast of Black Panther attended San Diego Comic Con and articles were being written left and right due to the film’s high anticipation, here goes Gina…
Carlos Valdes. Dania Ramirez. Gabriel Luna. Jessica Camacho….
Nevermind that some of that actresses listed are Black Latinas, which includes her homegirl Rosario….
Gina has even acknowledged shes afro latina (you can fully expect her to bring it up again to block criticisms) yet is so tone deaf. Fucking yikes.
I’m obsessed with celebrity interviews, and she does this…A LOT. She has a serious problem with Black women’s success.
The real tea is that she’s mad Tracee Ellis Ross makes more than her. Meanwhile several Latinas earn more than them both, so do a whole bunch of white people.

My name is Yves, I’m a trans guy, and I have severe PTSD, and am chronically ill (rare blood clotting disease, and an autoimmune deficiency disorder), I’ve had multiple MAJOR surgeries that have resulted in complications, I suffer with severe chronic pain, I’m also disabled, and because of all of this I NEED my medication to survive. I’m NOT getting the medical treatment I need and have limited access already. My health is failing and it’s taking an irreversible toll on my body. (Read my gofundme me for more in-depth information about how scary this is)

I’m trying to move to Colorado to escape (my abuser and stalker that I have a really traumatic history with. Violence and including assaults) I’m stuck in my hometown right now in northern MN. Where I’m at right now IS NOT safe for me and I need to leave..
My friend in Colorado has a place that I can move into ASAP, I just need first and last months rent. I have to move this month or she has to find a different roommate because of her own financial situation, so this is my lucky chance!! I NEED to move to Colorado for better access to health care, and for my own safety.. This is VITAL for my health (mentally and physically).
