Listen, you should never film strangers in public without their consent, but I swear there need to be fines or something for people who do that shit in some spaces. For example: I had to go to the ER last night, and some jerk filmed a woman who just came in and was clearly having an asthma attack. She immediately got to go back, and he was unhappy about that. Believe me, I get that it sucks having to wait when you're in pain, but you don't get to pick who deserves care when. The medical system in the US is a nightmare, and the ER could be the worst moment of someone's life. No one deserves to be recorded because some jack ass believes someone doesn't look like they need care.

This is fine to reblog. People who film strangers should be shamed if nothing else.

please help a venezuelan enby get their meds and pay rent 🇦🇷🇻🇪

hi everyone, I hope you’re doing fine. I’m back here again making a post about my situation.

So as many of you know, I had to move out last month due to problems with my old landlord and now we are at a new place, I made a post about two weeks ago, asking for help to get my medicines and thankfully, I got some like my anxiety medication in my sleeping pills, but I am still trying to get my antidepressants and antipsychotics and i need to be able to pay my rent before the 30th of this month

i’m looking for a job right now. I’m sending applications online and looking at advertisements and posts but I still haven’t had any luck, right now the economic situation situation. My country is not the best and I need a job, but I need to earn enough to pay rent now that is more expensive.

i promise I am doing my best

If you want any proof, you can message me. We can have a chat and converse about whatever I’m fine with that, also I understand that people don’t trust strangers online and that’s understandable. I’m ok that. Anything helps, even if it is just rb my story or just having a nice chat with me or if you have or know about any jobs I could take

Big hugs and thank you everyone🤍

Preparing for Pets Health Emergencies

Preparing for pet health emergencies is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Here are some steps you can take to be prepared:

Find a reputable veterinarian: Research and establish a relationship with a trusted veterinarian in your area. Make sure they offer emergency services or have a referral network for emergencies outside regular hours.

Know the location of emergency clinics: Identify the nearest 24-hour emergency veterinary clinics or hospitals in your vicinity. Keep their contact information easily accessible.

Create a pet emergency contact list: Compile a list of important phone numbers, including your regular veterinarian, emergency clinics, poison control hotline, and any other relevant numbers. Keep a copy in your pet's first aid kit and store it in your phone or on your refrigerator.

First Aid Tips and Preparedness Guide for Dogs

Pet insurance or savings: Consider obtaining pet insurance or setting aside an emergency fund for unexpected veterinary expenses. This can help alleviate financial stress during emergencies.

Pet first aid and CPR training: Enroll in a pet first aid and CPR course to learn basic life-saving techniques. Knowing how to administer CPR, handle injuries, and perform basic first aid can be invaluable during emergencies.

Stock a pet first aid kit: As mentioned earlier, assemble a pet first aid kit with essential supplies for treating minor injuries and emergencies. Regularly check and replenish the supplies as needed.

Pet-proof your home: Conduct a thorough pet-proofing of your home to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Secure hazardous items, medications, toxic plants, and chemicals out of your pet's reach.

Identification and microchipping: Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with tags containing your contact information. Consider microchipping your pet as a permanent form of identification.

Familiarize yourself with common pet hazards: Learn about common household hazards and foods that can be toxic to pets. Keep potentially harmful substances safely stored and be cautious about what your pet has access to.

Have a pet carrier or travel crate: Keep a pet carrier or travel crate easily accessible. In emergencies, it may be necessary to transport your pet safely and securely.

Create a pet emergency plan: Develop a plan for what to do in various emergency situations. Assign roles and responsibilities to family members, establish evacuation routes, and identify pet-friendly accommodations if needed.

Remember, in case of a serious or life-threatening emergency, it is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care. Your veterinarian and the professionals at emergency clinics are the best resources to handle critical situations and provide appropriate treatment for your pet.

State of Healthcare in Pakistan– Last Part – Asrar Qureshi’s Blog Post #792

[inkskinned]

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.

Coming back after being almost a week without electricity, phone, and internet connection. Huge storms with lightning and rain, and winds. We have never have winds like that here and the roof of so many houses were ripped off, stuff flying, etc. All this bc global warming, and the deforestation and mining in our lands. At this rate, in 5 years we will have tornadoes, a thing we have never ever have here. Nor our lands, infrastructures, states, and culture are prepared for this. Areas of the country are devastated, ppl have died, many are without electricity nor Internet connection so they are isolated. The houses are flooding with water, and the ones that not, are leaking from the ceiling. Too many neighbours and compatriots don't have roofs and the streets are full of fallen trees and pieces of roof material, no electricity, no signal, food rotting, but suffering at the same time for the cold of this terrible winter, and trying to do something, patching even when its gonna go to hell when the storm comes again this next days. More than 33,200 people affected and 41,500 isolated due to 5 days of rain and windstorms. In just a couple of days there were 170,000 homes left without power due to wind and rainstorms and even more as time went by.

If u want to help me to fix the roof, walls, to buy food and being warm this winter please check my PayPal. If u can't donate, please reblog bc thats the only way to make this being seen by ppl thus receiving help. I'm really not being able to keep living like this, i can no longer cope, so please share.

Here are in my PayPal or MACH . I took the kofi link bc they were charging me a fee.

Please, educate about global warming and the effects on Global South, specially for working class, chronically ill, autistic, disable, and long covid survivor ppl like myself.

Edit: I added links and pics

Edit: the weather is better (is finally spring at this current date 24th nov), but I still need to fix were I live/sleep bc the walls are broken and one of the walls is not a wall, but like 1cm wide stuff and all was bad build so even the door is twisted and dont work correctly, there is black mold that i think is damaging my ears, the paint is falling, the lamp has fallen, everything is broken and ugly, etc. I still need to buy food, meds, and everything so please, please, share or donate if you could. I don't want to survive like this and here, no one mask even when they were the ones giving me covid and they have making me also catch flu the other day bc they cogh over everything and don't care if they kill me, they are abusive and really violent people and are working to put me and everyone in danger. I dont even want to be in my country bc we will have a dictatorship soon, but I have nowhere else to go nor money to migrate (i need like $10.537 dollars or € 9.760,95 euros to pay all the documents, the bank money I have to show to prove I am a human being deserver of rights, the tickets, rent money and stuff to migrate).

I currently have $100 dollars donated (coz i spent 40 in food and meds this past month)

I know i will die here, but at least help me to survive in a less dehumanising way.

Edit: tumblr has blocked me from recive or send messages from the chat and comment of posts, so if you are trying to reach throughout there I can't see it, sorry, I'm cut from any communication (cant even see past messages from chat or asks), except send asks. I'm waiting that tumblr do something, but still hasn't even answered the help file I sent to them.

I'm fine at the moment, I'm not a risk to myself, but I need you to know if I ever do kill myself, it's the fault of every pain specialist who looked me in the eye and told me they wouldn't prescribe me opiates -- the one type of pain killer that works on me -- because of the "risk of addiction."

I spent twelve hours on Monday hyperventilating, vomiting, and being blinded by agony unable to think of anything other than if my partner had a gun, I could end my misery in an instant. My migraines are so bad they make me suicidal.

And all I get is a prescription for tylenol + ibuprofen, which I can't take*, and a suggestion to practice mindfulness.

I'd say the system is broken, but in reality, it's working as intended. Its intention is to break the most vulnerable and remove them from the gene pool.

PLEASE READ - THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION

Mohammed Alchear is a nine year old boy in Gaza. He suffers from chronic conditions; epilepsy and a liver condition which causes blood to clot.

The blood clotting causes a blockage in blood flow to the liver and that blood pools in the veins in the oesophagus that are much too small to hold that much blood so it puts them at risk of bursting or leaking.

Specialists said if he bleeds, he will die.

The veins in his oesophagus have STARTED BLEEDING and this is life threatening - he WILL DIE without being able to have the procedure he needs immediately. This is not available in Gaza so he needs to be evacuated.

The World Health Organisation agreed to evacuate him for treatment in two weeks but that will be too late. A procedure can be done to save his life but he needs this NOW.

Please please contact the World Health Organisation and ask them to evacuate Mohammed NOW. He needs the procedure or he will die.

His father’s instagram is @saed_al_saehr

PLEASE CONTACT THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION AND REBLOG

Do you know anything about emergency contraception for bigger folk? The guy I was sort-of seeing slipped the condom off on me earlier and I am freaking out because my BMI is in the 40s and I've heard that the usual things aren't effective when you're this big. I've tried reading about it but some places say buy two doses, some places say that doesn't help and I don't know what's correct.

Some!

Here's the thing, Anon. Some emergency contraception aren't as effective for fat/bigger folks, you're right. But its debatable by how much.

It's still worth taking emergency contraception! And if you have the option, take two! It's not proven that's definitely helpful but it has been helpful in some cases, so if you can, go the fuck ahead. It's very unlikely to hurt you.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. <3
