hey let's start spreading the reminder now that you cannot safely self-manage an abortion with herbal medicine or essential oils. natural abortifacients function by poisoning you; you wait for your body to realize you're dying and reject the pregnancy in order to conserve resources, and hope that happens before the rest of your organs shut down.
i think there will be an upsurge soon of unscrupulous and/or malicious actors preying on desperate pregnant people; do not help them kill people. don't spread recipes for herbal medicines or ingestible essential oil mixtures that purport to cause a pregnancy termination.
My little brothers have not comprehended what is happening to them from this humanitarian disaster and we have never lived this life before. We are living the worst tragic moments and hell has not stopped yet.
Has anything actually gotten better, for all the work you talk about doing? Or is it just treading water in misery forever?
Anon, ten years ago gay people couldn't get married in large parts of the US. AIDS was an almost certain death sentence when I was in high school. I was looking at job boards the other day and found a part time gas station job that had health insurance as a benefit, which NEVER would have happened 15 years ago. When I was a kid, hitting your child was extremely normalized in the US and my parents were the weird ones for not doing it. There is a vaccine for chicken pox. I didn't meet anyone who had transitioned until my 20s because it was so uncommon to transition in the aughts, and now there are some states that protect your right to have gender affirming care provided by your health insurance. It's not all states, but it's better than the number of states that had it in 2010, which was zero. THERE ARE TENANTS UNIONS NOW. WE HAVE A VACCINE AGAINST CERVICAL CANCER.
And all of that has been the work of a lot of individuals and organizations and research teams and activists.
Losing my mind over this perfume ad from the Aug. 1958 Esquire magazine. Is it... Is it a gag?? Are they serious??
I remembered I redesign the Chikorita line as creepy beets. I like them a lot still.
back in the old days ppl used to carve beets instead of pumpkins for the hollows' eve.
The Shirley Exception
personal take from a research freak that i think most folks will agree with past the ol’ library sentiments is how much cheap n’ otherwise used books should not be so underestimated, if it says it is in usable condition, with atleast no pages missing amongst the otherwise advertised damages, you should snatch em up
in most cases it will be a little weather beaten, carry lingering touches both gentle and roughed up, yearning for knowledge at the height of it's quintessence cannot be accomplished without acknowledging what might be wiped out entirely
be the aesthetic academician™️ you want to fantastize about being
You guys rlly don't realise how much knowledge is still not committed to the internet. I find books all the time with stuff that is impossible to find through a search engine- most people do not put their magnum opus research online for free and the more niche a skill is the less likely you are to have people who will leak those books online. (Nevermind all the books written prior to the internet that have knowledge that is not considered "relevant" enough to digitise).
Whenever people say that we r growing up with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips...it's not necessarily true. Is the amount of knowledge online potentially infinite? Yes. Is it all knowledge? No. You will be surprised at the niche things you can discover at a local archive or library.
Doaa is a 38 mother to a young son, Omar, who is nonverbal and autistic and needs special treatment to deal with his intense trauma from the genocide. Doaa says Omar sometimes screams when he remembers the bombs. She does not have the funds to cover his treatment on her own.
Doaa ran a sewing and embroidery business prior to the genocide and is currently raising funds to buy equipment to start it again. The goal for this campaign is only $12000 USD and if she meets it she will have the tools to earn money herself.
Doaa and Omar evacuated Gaza and now live in Egypt, but the entire rest of their family is stuck under siege and constant bombardment. She is incredibly worried about them. Again, she does not have the funds to evacuate them herself so we must help her. Doaa is also worried that her tumblr account will get terminated because she's Palestinian. Under this much stress, I can imagine it is impossible to consistently campaign to raise money.
Doaa's sister is Aseel @aseel680 who I have posted about before on this blog. @magnus-rhymes-with-swagness keeps in touch and frequently posts about her. Here is a post with a list of all the gofundmes that have been opened for this family.
Here is Doaa's business fund
Here is Doaa's survival fund
She is vetted.
Note: Doaa's survival fund uses Swedish krona. Take note of the currency exchange. Do not pride yourself on donating pennies.
$5 USD = kr52 SEK
$10 USD = kr104 SEK
hold on i need to engineer an image that will cast 20 psychic damage on a niche group of people
