The only excuse for policies that promote women having more children AND restricting immigration is racism

Happened in Canada. A man who spoke no English flew in from E. Europe. His mom said meet in baggage, not knowing it's restricted. She asked them to page him but speaker was broken in his area. No one would go and check. He waited hrs w/no food & got disoriented. Eventually tazed to death

The possibility exists that she thought he was in distress and thought the police would help him.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Source: catmat on Tumblr Can we just take a second to acknowledge how absolutely traumatizing and terrifying it is to lose your health? Feeling yourself decline, not knowing if you'll get worse, but knowing the permanency of your new reality, is scary. Often we don't hear about the fear that comes along with health decline. We are praised for being strong and for enduring so much. We try to keep going despite the terrifying feelings of knowing there is no going back from this. There's a lot of trauma we face, a lot of grieving, and a lot of repressed fears. So I'm just here to say that these feelings are valid and you're not alone.

Racists

Not without the mirror witch, anyway

ear infections would abscess into the brain. Those were fun times

Before antibiotics, people died of ear infections. They can literally abscess into the brain. A UTI can become sepsis, even now. As a kid, I could never understand why, in shows set in the 1800s, people went nuts when someone had a bad cold or mild flu, but minor secondary infections were deadly.

Ouf! Wishing all the restful sleep on you!

I cannot tell you how much I was hoping that was legislation preventing the sale or rental of homes containing mirror demons

That's where you hide the cat after the mirror demon got to it

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

I am reminded every winter that it costs more to provide healthcare for winter related health complications of homelessness ( frost bite, complex amputations, infectious complications) than to provide warm safe shelter for the homeless. Becoming homeless could happen to almost anyone.

I knew this exact thing would happen. I don't think most people realize what a devastating loss this is. A revolutionary tool for preventing chronic, disabling diseases is lost.

The idea that it's "extreme" to wear a mask in public to avoid a life altering chronic illness is a pretty extreme stance

I require this child in my life

18 mo baby Amalia had COVID-19, RSV & pneumonia.

#ICE nearly killed her.

What if your precious child were dangerously sick & denied medical care?

What if you & your baby were being held in a facility serving worms in the food, with foul water & nothing to keep warm but a thin foil blanket?

Keep going with Spanish.

The FREE online textbook below teaches Latin American Spanish language and culture through music. It includes audio and video.

Chapter 3 focuses on perreo, sexuality, and Bad Bunny, including a couple of his videos.

Good.

Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

I was really tired and also did not want to work, so I took a nap. When I woke up, the work was still there. That seems unfair, somehow.

Will this mean Trevor Noah's lawyers can ask for unredacted Epstein Files as part of discovery?

Well that's going to go over well with his fan base

This is what most anti-vaxxers believe, that they are really healthy, do all the right exercises and take the right supplements, are immune from any disease, and the only thing that can harm them are vaccines.

Ifmost there's anything I've leaned in the past 6 years it's that the powerful force building and tearing down nations is propaganda.
