Steve...

In case you don't know, this literally happened in Brazil. One of the first fatal victims of COVID-19 was the maid of an upper-class woman who had just arrived from Italy and knew she had the symptoms.

I don’t normally post Twitter threads but the president of the United states called the Georgia Secretary of State to coerce him into “finding” the exact number of votes he needs to win the state. This confirms that Donald Trump truly believes he won the election, and that he is willing to break the law to stay in power

the collapse of an empire

In case you were wondering, the cause is capitalism.

tolerate it...it’s about loving someone more than they love you? about how you can give and give and give to someone and they’ll just take it- take you- in stride? and it doesn’t matter how hard you try, it doesn’t matter how many skies you paint or how hard you try to make them happy, you just can’t make yourself matter to them. and you know you deserve better. and you want better, but you want better from them and only them and they just won’t. they choose not to and you get to hold all your love, the love you wanted to give them, and slowly realize that their arms will never be able to hold all of you.

did you know red snapper can live for over 100 years…. whatre they DOING down there

I hope this doesn’t work the same way for centaurs.

Thanks! I hate it

isnt this reverse vore?

One detained woman compared her visit to the gynecologist to being raped. “I told him ‘no,’ but he kept going. ‘Relax,’ he told me.”  

Another woman was told she was going to be deported, just hours after talking with federal investigators about the medical treatment she received at Irwin County Detention Center, a privately-operated prison in Georgia now at the center of an investigation into women who say they experienced medical abuse while detained there.

A third woman said she went in for a toothache. She thought she was going to have two molars removed; when she woke up the dentist had removed six. During the three-hour car ride back to the detention center, with no medicine to numb the pain, she was spitting blood into her sweater.

These are among the declarations of 22 women, whose testimony was filed under seal Thursday afternoon as part of a lawsuit brought on behalf of a detainee named Yanira against the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (The testimonies originally included 19 women’s statements and the lawyers later amended the total to 22.)

The women—two who provide their names and 20 identified as Jane Does—are alleging gross medical mistreatment at Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla, Georgia and retaliation by ICE officers against detained women who spoke out. At least six have already been deported and seven more face imminent deportation, in what the women and their lawyers say is an effort to silence them.

For anyone convinced these women are lying for some reason - This is common with US intelligence and the military too, it happens a lot in US torture camps. One time these monsters were told they were allowed to take a “gloves off” approach, meaning they could freely commit the worst human rights violations known to man in the name of upholding the law.

Well it’s 11/24 and 24-11=13 so I’ve got an announcement 🤓 You haven’t seen this film before ✨ folklore: the long pond studio sessions will be out tonight at midnight PST on Disney+

I found an old rusty USB in the basement today should I see if anything’s on it

oh we’re off to a good start

These were the only two pictures on it, like 8 folders deep.

Anyone know… Gallifreyan?????

ALSO there were a bunch of ancient (okay from 2014) SCP games on it?? and a Gameboy Emulator and a copy of the game Lifehouse, based off the concept album The Who tried to write in the 70’s, but Pete Townsend got too lost in the sauce or whatever and had a mental breakdown and never finished it

Thank u for your translation also I don’t know how to feel about this but based on the name of the USB I can’t say I’m surprised

This is the polar opposite of a Creepypasta

Tag yourself

your money is worth a lot here

They have paypal, it’s super easy. Every Euro, Dollar or pound counts.

Guys, you know I normally don’t do this, but please consider helping if you can. The Bolsonaro administration has been rolling back protections for the indigenous peoples living in our territory since the very beginning of 2019 and it is honestly not above them to weaponize this virus against the most vulnerable.

Here’s a clickable link to the site mentioned in the tweet: https://protectthepeoples.org/

This is so wholesome

Update: he finally got the cat to the vet to see if she had a microchip

HHHHHHHH I LOVE CAT DAD!

This is, by far, the single most adorable fucking thing I have ever seen. 

update:

I love that he kept …. All of them.

I’ve reblogged the earlier part of this thread before, and the new stuff makes it even better.

This is the Tumblr equivalent of a warm hug on a cold day.

You’re welcome.

I remember this thread, but I never saw the grown-up pics ❤

@every-n-anything

All hail Catdad

I saw Catdad for the first time today, and my day instantly became exponentially better.

I’M CRYING!?

CATDAD HAS REVIVED MY WILL TO LIVE

I live for cat dad-

Cat dad has saved us all

CAT DAD!!

I had not seen the updates. I am so happy that the Cat Gods smiled upon this person and their new family :)

I haven’t cried like this is a long time😢. Nigeria is burning.

Today, 10/20/2020 the Nigerian government sent the military to kill unarmed innocent civilians, a bloody massacre.

Every single drop of innocent Nigerian blood spilled will judge Buhari, Sanwo-Olu and Tinubu. They will never know peace. The blood of the innocent will curse them. They will suffer severely before they die.

The government has turned off the lights and removed all the CCTV cameras, they did this before the military surrounded the protesters. They did it intentionally because they didn’t want the world to see their evil deed. Some people were able to go live on instagram, so we could see, but now the government has shut down all signals to the area so there is no service. All Lagos state emergency lines are off. The soldiers are blocking ambulances from going in to rescue those that have been shot and injured.

It is 10pm in Nigeria, these soldiers are still killing civilians.

They’ve arrested DjSwitch. She live streamed the whole thing. They’ve arrested her and taken her to an unknown location. The soldiers were instructed to shoot her on sight.

Please pray for her😭.

Is there any good news today?

Lots and lots!

The happy broadcast

Oh thank fuck

Every time I see news coverage of a protest I remember this image of a single overturned trashcan in front of The Washington Post building

the thrilling sequel

They did this to make it seem like people weren’t social distancing, too. Perspective is everything.

Jefferson figuring out that his son is Spider-Man but instead of telling him “hey you blew your secret” and possibly freaking him out, starts quietly training him in correct police procedure (without him knowing) while also repeatedly talking about how he had issues with the old Spider-Man but the new one seems like a brave and responsible young man and how he would be totally proud of him if he were this guy’s parents

Jefferson: you’ve got everything you need for the week? Books? Computer? Spray paint? Web fluid? Shoes?

Miles: wait what was that middle thing

Jefferson: spray paint! I support my son’s artistic endeavors

AISBSKSHISGSIWHEJFSHSJHDHSUEHSKSHWKA

Rio: okay but is he seeing that ballerina spider-girl or not? He seems very fond of her

Jefferson: well he’s very insistent that she’s Spider-Woman but honestly he always seems to want to act professional when he’s in the mask so I can’t tell

Rio: you could ask him

Jefferson: honey we need to let him have his privacy he doesn’t want us to know

LATER

Rio: I wonder if the new Spider-Man has a girlfriend he seems like he’d be very nice

Miles, sweating: mom are you trying to set me up with Spider-Man

I’m sorry, but Miles Morales pretending to date Spider-man to keep his secret identity while his parents 100% know that he’s Spider-man is PEAK humor

they invite him to dinner just to see what miles comes up with

Spider ham is the only one available it’s a whole thing

I have read a LOT of these but this one is by far the funniest

“In 1984, when Ruth Coker Burks was 25 and a young mother living in Arkansas, she would often visit a hospital to care for a friend with cancer.

During one visit, Ruth noticed the nurses would draw straws, afraid to go into one room, its door sealed by a big red bag. She asked why and the nurses told her the patient had AIDS.

On a repeat visit, and seeing the big red bag on the door, Ruth decided to disregard the warnings and sneaked into the room.

In the bed was a skeletal young man, who told Ruth he wanted to see his mother before he died. She left the room and told the nurses, who said, "Honey, his mother’s not coming. He’s been here six weeks. Nobody’s coming!”

Ruth called his mother anyway, who refused to come visit her son, who she described as a "sinner" and already dead to her, and that she wouldn't even claim his body when he died.

“I went back in his room and when I walked in, he said, "Oh, momma. I knew you’d come", and then he lifted his hand. And what was I going to do? So I took his hand. I said, "I’m here, honey. I’m here”, Ruth later recounted.

Ruth pulled a chair to his bedside, talked to him

and held his hand until he died 13 hours later.

After finally finding a funeral home that would his body, and paying for the cremation out of her own savings, Ruth buried his ashes on her family's large plot.

After this first encounter, Ruth cared for other patients. She would take them to appointments, obtain medications, apply for assistance, and even kept supplies of AIDS medications on hand, as some pharmacies would not carry them.

Ruth’s work soon became well known in the city and she received financial assistance from gay bars, "They would twirl up a drag show on Saturday night and here'd come the money. That's how we'd buy medicine, that's how we'd pay rent. If it hadn't been for the drag queens, I don't know what we would have done", Ruth said.

Over the next 30 years, Ruth cared for over 1,000 people and buried more than 40 on her family's plot most of whom were gay men whose families would not claim their ashes.

For this, Ruth has been nicknamed the 'Cemetery Angel'.”— by Ra-Ey Saley

She’s 60 now, she’s still doing activist and advocacy work, and working on a memoir.
