For my little sister to get a new service dog that can actually accommodate her needs, it's going to cost $10,500.

American "Healthcare" is a fucking crime against humanity.

I'm having to watch my little sister decide what parts of her life aren't that important so she can take care of her current service dog until she (the dog) passes, and then get another service dog.

That means possibly months of being unable to do everyday human things like walk from her bed to the bathroom, make herself food, play with her niece and nephew.

Every one of those activities is legitimately dangerous for my sister to perform without active heart rate monitoring and assistance. And her service dog is sick enough that an alert was missed and my sister passed out yesterday for the first time since she got Ellie the service dog. Four years without serious incident. Gone.

I don't know how to make shit like this real for other people. If your activism ignores disability, if your world view doesn't include people with chronic illnesses, you can get right the fuck away from me.

I'm playing zero fucking games about this shit anymore. I will be openly hostile in future to anyone trying to defend the healthcare system as it currently stands. I'm not coming for Doctors on principle, but anyone supporting the current system as the continuing future can get fucked up the ass by a rust covered cactus. This is in-fucking-human.

Hey OP.

This is a real and valid point and something a lot of folks don’t realize about service dogs.

But your sister, specifically....do you think perhaps we could crowdfund the money for her new service animal? That’s no way to live. If all of my followers donated $2 each she’d have her new animal with some left over.

This isn’t the way healthcare should be. But maybe for at least one person we can help RIGHT NOW.

She set up a GoFundMe.

Well then!

Okay, guys, you know the drill. I’ll throw mine in on payday. In the meantime, let’s do everything we can to get this girl a dog! Her life literally depends on it. REBLOG (likes do nothing), donate a few bucks if you can, spread it far and wide.

Leaked Amazon Memo Details Plan to Smear Fired Warehouse Organizer: ‘He’s Not Smart or Articulate’

He was also the person who sent the positive co worker home to protect the other workers, and upper management told him directly not to tell people and that management would do so on an individual basis, he went against that and told his co workers about coivd being in the building because they had aright to know and tried to help them have their concerns heard by management. 

the world should accept that Margot Robbie and the costume design team behind the birds of pride created a new aesthetic, which i propose we call glittergrime. a shiny antidote to dark times :)

is it obnoxiously shiny, but with a dark undercurrent sliming its way underneath? is it vibrant, freakish, mix-matched, bright but vaguely unkept-looking, a bit garish, definitely excessive? is it the aesthetic you’d assign to a murderous, giant toddler on a sugar rush? would you choose this aesthetic to keep your serotonin levels up even though you’re part of an underground operation to bring down a crime boss?

if yes, then you’ve got yourself glittergrime.

this is Ke$ha erasure

fuck….you’re right. she’s a pioneer.

During the 1980s, more gay men died in New York City during the AIDS crisis than all recorded deaths of American soldiers in Vietnam. You need to know that.

psssst the reason feminists don’t advocate for the drafting of women in the armed forces is because conscription in and of itself violates core feminist values such as bodily autonomy. the feminist position on who should or should not be drafted is not “everyone should be drafted equally”, it is “nobody should be drafted at all”.

and if your feminism is thorough, you’re opposed to the imperialist and militarist mindsets that create a conscription service to begin with but, you know, whatever

FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT TONIGHT’S EPISODE, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ACTOR AND THE CHARACTER. however much you like/dislike daenerys’ decisions in this episode PLEASE REMEMBER THAT EMILIA CLARKE IS AN ACTOR AND DOESN’T DESERVE HARASSMENT 

Kit saying the ending is ‘disappointing’.. Emilia saying she left the house and took a walk for hours aimlessly… grrm saying the ending is ‘traumatic’… we should’ve listened

Just thinking how much I enjoyed watching Daenerys Targaryen in early seasons and how they really ruined her character in this season.

rip to daenerys targaryen’s character development
