“Stop scrolling and please help me spread the word, because if I’ve landed on your page you’re most likely either a black woman or someone who cares about black women and the simple phrase I’m about to share could help save a black woman’s life.
Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.
If you’ve seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn’t feel pain the same as white people.
And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there’s a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people’s kidneys, meaning we’re less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.
So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren’t getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you’ve requested, say to them the following:
I will need you to document on record that you are refusing the treatment (or medicine) I’ve requested, and the reason you are doing so.”
This works. I have used it in other situations. If medical staff have to document and take responsibility and be on the hook legally for doing shady shit they behave much differently.
If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.
But particularly women, and especially black women.

welp. i was THISCLOSE to posting an adolescent “i hate everything” post… and then i saw this.
Literally just let this play 8 times in a row and my smile never faltered even once 😁
I literally am incapable of not watching/listening to this when it comes up.
Blue Shirt Guy’s little head-flair after “honey!” is what makes it art.
I will never not reblog.
Had a really sucky morning. But this totally made my day!! Best thing ever!

Anonymous asked:
“My friend is so determined to fix me up with somebody better than my string of casual coffee date/hookup partners that I didn’t have the heart to tell her, after she set us up for a blind date, that I actually met you six months ago” With Poe?
“Did you tell Rey?”
“No. Did you?”
Poe shakes his head. “No.”
“So she somehow managed to set us up on a blind date without knowing that we’ve been casually fucking for the last six months.”
“Yep.”
“Wow.”
Poe awkwardly rubs the back of his neck, bottom lip tugged between his teeth. “Y’know, we could just make the best of this.”
You raise an eyebrow. “What’re you suggesting?”
He smiles sheepishly and readjusts himself in his chair. “I’ve been wanting to take you out on a proper date since we started the whole ‘no strings attached’ thing. I was just too nervous to ask.”
“I... I’ve wanted more, too,” you admit, suddenly much more interested in staring at the candle flickering in the center of the table than at Poe.
“Okay, so let’s have dinner, let’s get to know each other, and then let’s go back to my apartment and do what we do best.”
“Fuck?”
“Yeah.”
You can’t help smiling at his proposition. “Sounds good to me.”

Fright Night (2011) - oneshot - [Jerry Dandridge/OC]
cross-posted on ao3
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want / He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters / Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Sir, how dare you.
Yeah, this is ok I guess... 😳
Nope. Nope. Nope. Fuck you. Nope.
As a nurse, I just look at the veins on those arms and think "Yes Baby!!"

Yesterday, South Africa lost one of its legends, Johnny Clegg. This is a tribute by some (or rather most) of the biggest artists in South African music today. Here are the lyrics.
Through all the days that eat away
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I've lain alone
In someone else's dream, awake
All the words in truth we have spoken
That the wind has blown away
It's only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day
o siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
(we are coming, we are coming, we will arrive soon)
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
(we are coming, we are coming, we are moving across this earth)
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
(we are crossing over those dark mountains)
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
(where we will lay down our troubles)
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
'cause noone can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approving eye
Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone
Can still so affect our lives
Take me now, hold me close
Don't let go, I'm coming home

“White farmers [in South Africa] deserve special attention [emergency visas to Australia] because of the horrific circumstances they face in South Africa including, numerous and increasing cases of rape and torture carried out on white farmers and a white minority in South Africa being murdered and tortured off their farms .”
— Peter Dutton, Austrailian home affairs minister regarding white South African farmers being displaced by the South African proposal to allow for land expropriation without compensation

I remember seeing the pained conversations over this issue. It’s quite frustrating how constrained all the talk is because you can’t say that white farmers would integrate and associate alot easier and better in a white country than any of the refugees the west currently receives. It’s like everybody’s thinking it (Dutton included, probably) but nobody’s allowed to say it and if anybody does then we’d never hear the end of it and the sky would come crashing down. There’s just not going to be any progress on putting an end to this genocide while political correctness maintains it’s stranglehold on reality.
Is genocide not valid when the victims are white?
Is rape and murder somehow justified the victim is white?
Yes, this is a race issue. This is the issue of a race that is being exterminated and the world turning a blind eye because the victims are white. Political correctness is going to quite literally be the death of me, a friend, or a family member.
Farm attacks in South Africa are real. Google it.
You’ll probably not reblog this because it’s not politically correct. And people will continue dying and your blog will be squeaky clean.

This is the one who married Justin Timberlake, isn’t it? I knew I didn’t like both of them for a reason. They both are shit.
You are correct
