1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end

2. Flick the blue cap off

3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams. 

- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!

[sassyjavert-deactivated20151015]

Oh my god. So as someone who has to carry an epipen EVERYWHERE I am so happy to see that there’s an info post about them. Like in the extreme case that I can’t inject myself, somebody else would have to do it, but nobody knows how to do it! Thank you, this may just save my life some day.

[dontbeanassharry-deactivated201]

Don’t be wimpy about it, either. I know friends who are like, “but idk if I could stab you with a needle!” Please stab me with the needle, don’t be hesitant about it.

In my case (I can’t speak for all allergies), an epi buys me 20 minutes of breathing to get to the hospital. It is not a magic bullet, it’s a few critical minutes to help get me where I need to go.

[theroguefeminist]

For those who don’t know, people with serious food allergies carry epinephrine which is an adrenaline shot just in case they have anaphylaxis, which is a life threatening allergic attack. This shot is life-saving and must be administered to someone who is having an anaphylactic attack as SOON AS POSSIBLE, because an extra waited minute could mean their life.

It doesn’t hurt much at all to use this needle. The first time I used mine, I didn’t even feel it. But be sure to stab it IN THE OUTER THIGH. Do not stick it anywhere else or you could seriously hurt or kill someone. Just right to the outside of the thigh and then call the ambulance - even if your friend starts doing better, they could have a biphasic reaction, meaning a reaction that comes back (or they may need a second dose, be on the look out). If your friend has an epipen, then they have an epipen trainer that doesn’t have a needle and you can try it out just to be sure you know how to use the real thing if you have to. I’d also advise holding it a few more seconds then 10, maybe go for 14 just to be sure all the medicine is administered and that you didn’t count too fast - that’s what I did.

Here’s a graphic of where to stick it:

[unillustrated-man]

THANK YOU FOR THE GRAPHIC I was about to ask because my mom carries one around and so do some of my friends and I wanted to make sure I would do it right if I ever needed to!

Learn about this or get a refresher, if you’re not already familiar.

[astridrants]

advice from a first responder and firefighter i know: don’t put your thumb over either end. i know it sounds stupid, but if you have it the wrong way around, you’ll administer the epinephrine to your thumb rather than to your patient.

Nonbinary beauty appreciation post

(Because I've never seen one before and all enbies deserve love and appreciation)

How soft their hair is

How their laugh sounds

How their eyes sparkle when they grin and their whole face just lights up

When they hug you and you feel safe

When they have jiggly bits that dance when they dance

Their deep voices

Their high voices

Their voices.

Their dimples and laughter lines and double chins

Their cuddles

Their snuggles

When their hair is as brightly coloured as their smile or as dark as their painted fingernails or as light as the sun or as brown as sandwood or any other colour of the rainbow like their soul

When their smile blinds you with its brightness and beauty

When you see how special they are

Their smol hands

Their big hands

When they have pets and talk to them in cute voices

When they have younger siblings and care about them and hug them and make them feel special too

Done for now add more in reblogs

“I loved you, always.”

[scp-469-blog]

going to comment a little on this game: the overseeing voice talks as if it owns you, and defies your free will. if you follow its orders, you are praised, and the worldview becomes sharper and more detailed. if you don’t, you are chastised, and the world becomes more vague and difficult to navigate, but also more colourful and loud. it’s odd, and sort of eerie, but definitely interesting. take it as you will.

[scarecrows-talk-deactivated2018]

This game really unsettles me. It unsttles me that my first choice to obey, and when I played again and disobeyed, I got really emotional really fast. Failure hurt me more the more I disobeyed. It was… interesting to experience.

[some-asshole-with-a-pony-icon-d]

i’ve always said we are trained to obey more than to think.

[bobateebrek]

holy shit. i reblogged this the first time without playing. then i played in and it is terrifying. i very much like this, but it will give you intense feelings. 

[inarticulate-spaghetti]

What’s the game??

[bobateebrek]

you obey everything the game tells you too, even jumping into barbs and basically killing yourself. if you dont youre chastised and even the scolding is terrifying

[theanimatedraccoon]

So, essentially, it’s a game that illustrates what it’s like to be in an abusive parents or an abusive relationship - and how it affects you emotionally. That is horrific and ingenious - the next time someone negates the affects of emotional abuse, I’ll take them to this game and let them come to their own conclusions.

[phiasmir]

This game absolutely gets it. The most solid and reliable degradation is a gendered insult. The more you obey and co-operate, the better understanding you seem to have of your word, and things seem easier. But what really gets me is the contradiction. You are not allowed to have the correct answer. Are you a boy or a girl? The answer is no, I will give you the answer. even towards the end, your “praise” is “no, I will give you the answer. You earned this answer, but it is given to you by me.” Disobeying makes the world frightening and confusing and difficult, but beautiful in a world devoid of flavour.

[codergf]

great that it’s made by a fellow australian too

The part of this I don’t like is “they will most likely move on to an easier target.” Like I’m supposed to feel fine about someone else with a less sturdy door getting ripped off?

[lgbt-aesthetics]

i know this isnt aesthetics but THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!

i got an email from my mother (who is bi and proud) about this. australians will have 14 days to register to vote in the same-sex marriage postal vote. this means everyone needs to get on the electoral roll or check their enrolment is correct ASAP! students like myself are particularly likely to not be enrolled or have incorrect details on the electoral roll.

so if you are australian and you are over 18, please dear god, make sure you are on the electoral roll! if you are already enrolled, make sure your details are correct and up to date!

even if you arent australian, i would REALLY appreciate if you spread this!

im australian and i cannot marry my current partner without same-sex marriage being legal. i know without a doubt there are many other australians who are also unable to marry their partners too.

PAPER CHAIN PROJECT

- For every day you go without self harming or purging, add a colourful link to the paper chain - If you relapse, just add a white link to to the chain and carry on the chain without any disruption - Over time the paper chain will grow in length and you can see your progress, and see that even if you do relapse, the are still days you go without hurting yourself. The colourful links. - Over time and through your recovery watch the amount of coloured links begin to increase, and the amount of white links begin to decrease. - If you feel like hurting yourself, look at the paper chain and realise just how far you’ve made it, and realise that if you’ve resisted before you can do it again :)

Please reblog, this could help someone towards recovery. ❤

UPDATE: AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION WITH BLOGGERS WHO I RESPECT, I HAVE SHIFTED THE WORDING OF THIS “MISSION STATEMENT” TO BETTER REFLECT THE CONCERNS OF FANS. 

DISCLAIMER: I am a relatively new ATLA fan so I ask, in advanced, for your patience with any mistakes I may be making. I’m very open to the input of others in how to best navigate this blog and reach the goal for which this blog was created. 

The goal of this blog is to create a strong and united front through which the fandom can collectively find a way to express the desire for ATLA to be “resurrected.” 

I plan to post original content that will both demonstrate the value of the existing series while explaining why certain plots within the series deserve to be explored further. I will also be reblogging content directly from the series as well as fan created works. 

Ideally, an ATLA revival would be done via Netflix; not only due to the amazing track record Netflix has with reviving fan favorites but also because the partnership (currently) held with Nickelodeon/Paramount/Viacom appeared to stifle the potential of ATLA, as well as it’s spin off (Legend of Korra). 

Even though ATLA ended in 2008, it’s passionate following remains strong and has even grown over time. I hope that the things which fragment the fandom can be placed aside for the sake of creating a movement that will allow for the possibility of more Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I also want to take this opportunity to note that this blog is not partial to any ships and that I will be following, and hopefully engaging with, fellow fans that have diverse perspectives on the show. 

[resurrecttheavatar-blog]

If you are in support of or open to the possibility of ATLA being revived via Netflix, please reblog this post and follow the blog. If this venture is really going to take off, we need numbers on our side! 

If your curious about any of this, please feel free to send me a message 😊

The impact of the President’s words this morning go far beyond what can fit in a 140-character tweet. It’s about real American families who have made the ultimate sacrifice to our country. It’s about transgender veterans like Sherri Swokowski, who served for 34 years in the United States Army and retired as a Colonel, being told that her decades of service was a “disruption.” It’s about the transgender soldiers who are waking up this morning on the other side of the world - thousands of miles from their home and the people the love - reading a message from their Commander in Chief that their service to our country is a burden. Reblog – and TAKE ACTION by telling Trump to STOP attacking transgender servicemembers.

On Avatar’s Portrayal of War, Child-Soldiers, and Privilege

Sometimes I think about the fact that there is exactly one time that we hear someone express surprise at the fact that Aang–the Avatar– and his companions are children. And it’s in the second episode, from Zuko: 

From an out-of-universe perspective, this makes sense. And it wasn’t something that surprised me when I was a ten-year-old in 2005 when A:tLA first aired. One of the tenants, I think, of adventure children’s television is that there is a degree of wish fulfillment. Children want to be taken seriously as agents, and so it makes sense from that vantage point, that everyone takes the Gaang seriously as agents except the person portrayed as an antagonist.

But, I think this also makes sense, heart-breakingly and unlike other children’s adventure television, from an in-universe perspective. This is a world ravaged by bloody, bloody war for a hundred years. A world in which child soldiers are commonplace. We see countless examples of this throughout the series:

When we meet Sokka–fifteen-years-old and in-charge of security for his village–he is training small children to be soldiers. This is played off as something of a laugh, but if Aang hadn’t returned in the second episode, I think we’re supposed to think that Sokka very much would have tried to lead these little boys into battle.

Jet and the Freedom Fighters, who practice guerrilla warfare (fairly successfully) and regularly raid Fire Nation outposts, are children. Jet, who I think we are supposed to assume is one of the eldest of the group, is sixteen when he dies (according to the Avatar wiki).

The Kyoshi Warriors are one of the elite-most fighting force in Avatar World, eventually taken seriously by the Earth Kingdom military and given military jobs. And the general of the Kyoshi Warriors, Suki, and the eldest member of the group (again according to the Avatar wiki) is fifteen. She can’t have always been the eldest member. I’m willing to bet the older women are sent off to war, and Suki becomes the eldest member and the leader by default. (Much like Sokka–probably why they connect so well).

In Zuko, Alone, the soldiers in the village threaten to send Lee off to join the army at the front, and based on the mother’s reaction, and what we see of him when he’s tied up, this doesn’t seem like an empty threat, and it’s probably not the first time this has happened to children in the Earth Kingdom in villages like these.

I could go on. 

So of course, after living in a world of child soldiers like these, no one is going to bat an eyelash to learn that the Avatar–perhaps the ultimate non-Fire Nation soldier–is twelve-years old, and his companions aren’t much older. When Aang starts to bring this up himself to Yue, for instance, Yue doesn’t seem to understand. He’s the Avatar, he has to save them, she insists. Who cares if he’s a child?

But the Fire Nation Army isn’t filled with child soldiers. It doesn’t need them. Fire Nation children are in school. It is adults that make up the Fire Nation Army. 

And, (with the exception of Azula and her gang), when we do see a Fire Nation child attempting to take on the role of an adult member of the military, he isn’t taken seriously. (E.g. Zuko, and the way Zhao brushes him off.)

So of course it is only Zuko, who grew up in the absolute center of the Fire Nation, and, though he is banished, hasn’t really seen much of the reality of the war until he meets Aang, that looks at the Avatar and remarks in surprise that he is a child. (If anyone is interested, I wrote a fic that deals with a lot of these themes. It can be found here.)
