SAY THIS AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

I was just talking about this in another post. You can add to the first line that the words are considered indisputable, but there are multiple “canon” interpretations of those words. You can also see how, starting with 9/11 and increasing with the introduction of Black Lives Matter, police and first responders have been elevated to that special class which is why any disrespect of police is considered a traitorous and blasphemous offense.

Harry Potter fandom, ilu

When a marginalized group is asked for peaceful protesting, what is really being asked is for them to “protest” in a way that those with privilege can actively and happily ignore.

To the dipwad paramedic student doing ride time at work

Who refused to take no for an answer after insisting that I come home with you when I got off from work.

And being a persistent little prick when I told you no half a dozen times when you told me to let you take me out for drinks on my 21st birthday. After I told you that I don’t drink.

I’m very sure your girlfriend of three years would be very very happy to know how you were acting while doing clinical time for school.

Update: ran into him on a call last night at work.

He proceeded to hit on me and tell me I was pretty as ever, calling me pet names while I was helping with the patient.

Then, when I stopped to thank the man who had been spotting for me while I backed out, he came up to my window and said. “Love you sweetheart. Have a good night.”

If he wants to keep this up, I will take it to a supervisor and his assistant fire chief.

His behavior is unprofessional.

Straight to the supe and his instructor. I wouldn’t want any fuckwads on my truck. He sounds like he could do with some Succs. 200mg’s of shut the fuck up.

Disclaimer: Students are their instructors/the supes problems, those that can’t be adjusted, let them deal with ‘em. However, problems between partners, stay between partners.

Definitely report it, because he may not only be harassing you. Think of it as saving another woman from this creep.

As far as the disclaimer, I usually agree, but if my partner was that pushy and innappropriate I would take his ass to management too.

UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS KNOW YOU’RE RIGHTS:

Please spread these images around. It could help save someone’s world.

The end of the D.A.C.A. program; a government issued program that only gave legal permission to hard working young adults, who where forcefully brought into the U.S illegally, is nothing but counterintuitive. Your losing millions of intelligent hard working individuals who have done nothing but help the U.S.

#DACA recipients- brought here as children, had no say in the matter of if they wanted to come in legally or not. They pay taxes, DACA fees, serve in the military - and much more. Don’t spout ignorance. Please stay tolerant and understanding.

If you haven’t already heard, Donald Trump has slashed funding for advertising the Affordable Care Act enrollment period by 90%. He has also cut the funding for local organizations that help consumers navigate the buying process by 41%. The time period to enroll has also been cut in half, giving people only 6 weeks to sign up between: November 1, 2017 - December 15, 2017.

These cuts mean that less people will be aware of the enrollment period and less people will be insured. Less people uninsured will also mean a drive up in premiums, making insurance unaffordable for many more. This is an intentional move to make good on his promise to let the Affordable Care Act “implode,” but it will hurt many people in the process. Many people will unknowingly miss the enrollment period and we cannot let this happen. 

Since the president is unwilling to inform the citizens we must take action into our own hands. Spread awareness about open enrollment. I made the image above so you can save it and share it to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and whatever other forms of social media you might use. Tell your family and friends. Do whatever you can to make sure that people who need this information get this information. 

PSA people……

Hey American friends,

Important info!

Take-home points: terrorism is fueled more by economic hardship than religious ideology, and the West’s drone strikes lead to more terrorist attacks.

This is a long but excellent article. Worth a read.
