got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me

Read this and save a life - YOUR OWN

From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:

1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.

12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

please take the time and boost this post by reposting it and sending it to those you love because we all need to understand how to quickly deal with heart attacks

as someone who has been having signs of a heart attack recently, i’m really glad i found this post

Someone who’s close to my family to the point I consider him my uncle, had a heart attack 2 years ago. Thankfully his wife, who is a nurse, was there and managed to caught the signs before it started happening. Now I can spread help for people who need to see this too.

I think I already reblogged this but im gonna do it again because this is a good reminder on how toxic gatekeeping it.

I’m reblogging this for the amount of thought that was put into figuring out the necessary configuration for a mertaur wheelchair.

MMMMM, the LAYERS to this. 

She’s technically a monster too. She might not look it at first glance and seems mostly human, but it isn’t deniable even despite her looks compared to the other monsters. 

But she realizes that she is still not like the rest of the monsters either and may not have entirely the same experiences as them, which is why she feels that she might not belong to or deserve to go to the support group. By sometimes passing as human, she feels she isn’t worthy of the space. 

The sad reality though is even though she’s mostly human in appearance, that tail she has undeniably would still cause her some struggle. Humans are still gonna look at that tail and think she’s a freak. There are probably still accommodations she needs because of the tail that she may still struggle to have access to. Even if it is just the tail, that tail is still enough to other her from humans and cause her problems and discrimination. 

She should get to belong in that support group even if she gets told she’s not monster “enough”. She still shares some of the same struggles as them that are caused by being a monster, and needs support. 

This is an excellent demonstration of the flaws in the concept of passing privilege. Bravo to the artist. 

NOW I will reblog this.

A seven-panel comic that was digitally drawn by @/pet_foolery on Instagram.

Panel 1: A werewolf in a light blue shirt and jeans stands with a clipboard in hand, eyes looking off toward the side of the panel. Behind him in the background are three other monsters , a gargoyle, a Bigfoot-esque character, and a green lizard, all on a white background. The werewolf is commenting “Uh… I’m sorry, ma'am, but this is a support group for monsters only.”

Panel 2: The panel zooms back to show only the werewolf and the person he’s talking to, a light-skinned, blond-haired woman with a pink shirt and black pants with a typically “Karen” haircut. She looks like a regular human. The woman replies “Well, actually, I AM a monster.” The werewolf questions, “How?”

Panel 3: The panel has a close up of the woman’s face as she talks, a thought bubble over her head as she explains “Well, you see, my mother was a mermaid, and my father was a minotaur.” In the thought bubble is a mermaid in a tank, holding hands with a minotaur standing beside it as they gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes.

Panel 4: The panel has zoomed back out to show both the woman and the werewolf, the werewolf looking irritated. “Right.” He replies, the “i” stretched out sarcastically. “And let me guess: you got the human half from both of them.” The woman replies, “Exactly.” “Gotcha. Hardy har har.”

Panel 5: The panel zooms into another close up where only top top halves of the woman and werewolf are present, the werewolf leaning in and angrily pointing a finger at the woman. “Ya know, it’s insensitive mockery like this that makes us need these groups in the first place.” The woman looks bewildered at the statement, her hands up almost defensively as she reacts with “Huh?”

Panel 6: The panel draws back out to reveal the two full-bodied again, this time adding a third character standing behind the woman. “Listen, sir. I’m just here to drop off my brother and I’ll be in my way.” She gestures to the person mext to her. He’s a monster like the werewolf, with a mermaid tail and a bull torso/head. He wears a Chicago Bulls jersey with the number 23 on the front, perched on a specially-made wheelchair that helps him move around. He looks annoyed, asking “This guy buggin’ you, sis?” The werewolf is looking at the mino-mermaid in shock, silent.

Panel 7: The woman is walking off the left side of the panel. With her back showing, a bull tail can be visible that wasn’t seen with her front facing out toward the viewer. She glances back at her brother, commenting “I’ll be back to pick you up around seven.” The mino-mermaid glances back at her with a smile, “Sounds good, thanks.” The werewolf is still in his shocked silence, watching her walk off.
