my favorite grandpaism of all time is when he said "every time i learn a new person's name i forget the name of a fish." that shit has stuck with me for years. what did he mean by that
I think the hesitancy from some people to believe in medical trauma comes from a hesitancy to believe that there is a specific kind of power dynamic between medical professionals and people receiving medical care. and I think this kind of hesitancy exists when you're talking about any "caring profession". part of this is an inability to understand that someone can do harm even whilst believing they are acting in your best interests. but I think a lot of it is an inability to see disabled people as human beings who have our own opinions and desires, and therefore should be afforded autonomy over our lives and bodies. and I think if you can't understand how someone might have trauma from interactions with the medical system, you just have not been paying enough attention to how the medical system functions
Can't believe I'm saying this but the weather is slowly changing in Gaza again and it rained quite heavily this week. Knowing this while literally 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced, many living in makeshift tents, is a terrifying thought. Since last week's rain, many people are left without a place to stay and their belongings destroyed by the rain.
The cost of tents is between $700 and $800 which is beyond practically everyone in Gaza right now. However, the Sameer Project are crowdfunding and providing these families with tents. You can help out by either donating and/or sharing their initiative with your friends and community members.
Finding out that World Athletics pays $100k every time a new world record is set so so Mondo Duplantis has just been setting it 1cm at a time from 6.17m to 6.25m in the past 4 years is so funny??? Finessing 1 million dollars 1 cm at a time even though he can clearly go higher at one shot???? #respect
thinking about the fact that in order to serve on the jury of a death penalty case you have to be willing to impose the death penalty (i.e. not be categorically opposed to it on principle) otherwise you'll be dismissed, so juries in death penalty cases tend to be disproportionately white and male and have been shown to be more likely to vote for conviction. just in general death penalty as a practice is horrific and barbaric but this specific part of it also just feels so insane to me
