This is very urgent so please share however you can. Islam, the mom of this family in Gaza, is eight months pregnant but has a fractured pelvis and therefore cannot give birth safely. She needs a C-section, but the conditions to perform those no longer exist in Gaza. For months women in Gaza have been getting C-sections without anaesthesia. We need to get her out before she goes into labor, which could happen at any time now. We're halfway through the goal and even if everyone just chipped in 5-10 dollars it adds up quick!

0/??? so far nothing, here's screenshots of my accounts. Please help me feed my family and keep us going another day. We need food for the whole week and as for the food pantry, ppl are only allowed 1 times per month due to the amount of poor ppl and suzs of where we live and we already exhausted ours. The kids keep asking me over and over when is dinner and I have no answer, there is nothing. We have nothing for tomorrow and I don't know what to do, we split our last box of Ramen today.

PLEASE IGNORE the amount of notes as we desperately need help. As we haven't had any help for food in days and i can only stretch so little food for so long If everyone could donate something (if you want to/you are able, ignore this if you cant!) From a dollar or 5, it counts & is greatly appreciated to even a reblog is also so helpful.

Thank you all.

Hello, lesbians n queers!

I got 1 bill of $45 ish that I must pay til 5/18 plus 2 doctor's visits, including 1 x-ray for my still sprained ankle, scheduled for the end of the month (5/22 and 5/29). All detailed below.

Beyond all that, I really could use some help at buying food since there isn't much left for next week. I cannot meet any of those commitments at the moment, and still taking slow for my foot.

$75/100

Ko-fi, pp or wise: joanitadcarla@gmail.com

I'll have to push this goal a little higher in hopes of fixing my hot water thing that broke last night.

Both bills and groceries have been paid, resulting in me only having $10 in the bank.

Anything at all helps me make it to my appointments next week, which I don't want to miss since I already did before, and I'm still healing. Thank you so much!

$95/150

Life is determined to keep messing me up 🙃 Went to Planned Parenthood because I was still feeing sick and haven't had anything pass and it turns out I'm still pregnant as the pill did not work. They suggested an in clinic abortion and that costs $600 🫠 I don't have insurance so I wouldn't be able to get that lowered. pls keep sharing as i am terrified of pregnancy. I am offering tarot readings and @scarsofbeauty and @saturnpandora are doing art commissions.

$345 left! (it goes up after each trimester, which is the last week of May for the first trimester for me) doctor said fever and vision issues are most likely pregnancy related, so im still not feeling well but i'll update when possible.

The discovery represents a potential new way to recruit the immune system to fight treatment-resistant cancers using an iteration of mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticles, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, but with two key differences: use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine, and a newly engineered complex delivery mechanism within the vaccine.

Within 48 hours, the four human study participants showed remarkable results: their immune systems went into turbo cancer-destroying mode. And without surgery, radiation, or dangerous chemotherapy.

Folks, we may have a cure for cancer within your lifetime.

A couple job interview hacks from someone who has to give a job interview every single goddamn day: (disclaimer: this goes for my process and my company’s process, other companies and industries might be different)

1. There are a few things I check and a few questions I ask literally just to figure out if you can play the game and get along with others in a professional setting. Part of the job I interview for is talking to people, and we work in teams. So if you can’t “play the game” a tiny bit, it’s not going to work. Playing the game includes:

- Why do you want to work here? (just prove that you googled the company, tell me like 1 thing about us, I just want to know that you did SOME kind of preparation for this interview)

- Are you wearing professional clothing? I don’t need a suit just don’t show up in a ratty t-shirt and sweatpants.

- Are you able to speak respectfully and without dropping f-bombs all the time? Not because I’m offended but because I don’t want to be reported to HR if you wind up on my team.

- Can you follow simple directions in an interview?

2. Stop telling me protected information. I don’t want to know about what drugs or medications you’re on, I don’t want to know about you being sick, I don’t want to know if you’re planning to have children soon, I don’t want to know anything about your personal life other than “can you do the job?” 

3. When we ask, “What questions do you have for me?” here are my favorites I’ve heard: - What does the day-to-day look like for a member of your team?

- If one of your team members was not performing up to his usual standard, what steps would you take to correct that?

- What can I start doing now to accelerate my learning process in this job?

- What are some reservations you have about me as a candidate? (be ready for this emotionally….it will REALLY help you in the future, and I’ve had people save themselves from a No after this, but can be hard to hear)

- In your opinion, what skills and qualities does the ideal candidate for this job possess?

- What advice would you give to a new hire in this position/someone who wanted to break into this industry, as someone who has worked here for a while?

Those are just my tips off-the-cuff. I work in sales in marketing/SAAS, so these can be very different depending on the industry, but I wish the people I interview could read this before they show up.

Yes STOP TELLING PEOPLE PROTECTED INFORMATION IN INTERVIEWS. do not volunteer anything including “I’m currently pregnant.”

It has been a week or two of hell. Basically, I was haunted by a bill I thought I took care of, and now they are taking money straight out of my check to fix things. That is life. The downside is that, it's left me pretty much scraping by again. I feel awful to ask, but we need about 100 for gas, food, and such. I need almost 300 for the gas bill. And rent is still not fully paid. I've resorted to looking through things to sell, since this is a bump I can't quite handle myself. If anyone can help, I'd be grateful beyond measure. If not, thank you for reading and considering. Please be safe and well, and do not open credit cards to help people you'll never see again. It will come back to bite you, and the person will not be there to help.

Without looking it up, when you first hear "Tornado Warning", what does that mean to you?

I have met. so many people in real life who do not know what "Tornado Watch" means, who do not know what "Tornado Warning" means.

literally 9 out of 10 (aka 90%) of people I meet think that "Tornado Watch" is the more dangerous alert, and think "Tornado Warning" is less severe.

Most people I meet who hear 'Tornado Warning' think it's a good idea to go outside and look at the cool clouds.

FEMA or whoever needs to officially change these stupid-ass names, or do one HELL of a public awareness campaign, because this can and will get people killed; there's already been multiple deadly tornadoes just this week.

[ID: Caption from article: A powerful tornado near Waverly Road in the Lincoln, Nebraska, metro area on April 26, 2024. It shows a vast flat field with a massive tornado in the distance, funneling down from storm clouds in the foreground, while a bright and blue sky is visible behind the destructive storm, with houses in the distance. end ID]

Tornado Watch: Watch out, and be cautious! -- Keep an ear out for alerts, and make sure you know where you need to take shelter! A tornado could possibly form in this storm, and you need to be ready.

  • Tornado Watch is a good time to secure your pets in your safe area (in carriers/crates), grab important documents/belongings, make sure your valuable electronics are unplugged, etc.
  • .
  • Make sure you have flashlights (Ideally, that are not just your cellphone) with working batteries. If you have an emergency radio, keep it turned on and tuned to a local radio station. Bring bottled water and non-perishable food to your safe area.
  • .
  • If you have a basement, make sure there is a clear area for you to shelter in, and that everyone can get down the stairs/ladder safely.
  • .
  • If you do not have a basement, go to the lowest floor of your home, in a room away from as many windows as possible; if this room is your bathroom, take down the shower curtain rod (so it can't fall on you), and take down any other loose objects that could fall.
  • .
  • Bring some spare blankets and pillows into your safe area, both for comfort and extra protection.
  • .
  • Make sure your family knows that if a warning is sounded, or if signs of a tornado are seen or heard outside your home, that they need to go to the safe area immediately.
  • .
  • Make sure in advance that your family is wearing appropriate shoes + clothing in case of emergency, and that everyone has their phones charged and on hand.

Tornado Warning = Warning! A Tornado is currently forming or is already formed! -- Take shelter immediately on the lowest floor of your home away from windows!

  • Drop what you're doing and get to your safe area. You no longer have time for preparation-- your only focus now is getting to your safe area!
  • .
  • Alert family members, if they're not in the safe area already.
  • .
  • Once you are all in your safe area, close the door, have everyone huddle together as low to the ground as you can get, and wrap everyone up in your spare blankets, putting pillows over your heads, etc.
  • .
  • Try to keep everyone calm, if at all possible.

I literally have this image printed out on my bulletin board at work (my staff and I do a lot of work outdoors) :

[ID: a tweet by Normal Fire Department (Normal, IL) From May 3rd (unknown year) that reads "since We are under a severe thunderstorm watch this evening, It's a good time to go over the difference between a watch and a warning.
Watch: 🟧 [orange square emoji] : we have the ingredients to make tacos
Warning: 🟥[red square emoji] We are having tacos. Right now. "
Underneath the text is two images, one labled "taco watch" that has tortilla shells, ground meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, a jalapeno avocado and salsa sitting on a counter, showing taco ingredients.
The other image is labled "taco warning" and shows a fully assembled taco . End ID]

Okay, this graphic is genuinely genius because it is so funny, more people need to see this lol.

also, even though this rarely happens, if you get an alert that says Tornado Emergency, that means you need to get underground or in your shelter immediately. Do not wait. Not doing so could get you killed.

i live in a place where nobody takes Watch or Warning very seriously, because tornadoes happen more where i live than anywhere else in the world. but as soon as the weather service declares an Emergency, everyone packs it up and gets their ass to the shelter.

So my hopes of actually working have fallen through for the moment, and I'm once again in search of a pot in which to piss.

I am currently out of toilet paper and meds, and I need money for food and some extra house clothes so I don't have to do laundry so often.
