WAIT are you saying that people who are white supremacist, trans/homophobic, classist misogynists are saying that anyone pushing back against them are free speech invaders?!?? THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED
looks more like she has been covering her ears to not listen to anything he had to say so he had to punch the wall to finally get her attention…
im a little bit confused, are you analyzing a stock photo used for an article from a satirical online magazine?
let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how a completely fictional man can exhibit abusive behavior in a hypothetical universe that exists solely to mock this behavior and someone out there will still bend over backwards to defend him.
Signal boost! This is SO important. I’ve experienced several of these side-effects, also. There’s a so much more to dealing with anxiety than just ‘letting it go’ or practicing deep breathing. It’s very often a life-long process of learning how to effectively manage excess stress and anxiousness!
Tiny dirty stray kitten hanging out at the bottom of our stairs since yesterday. There are a lot of self-reliant ferals around our apartment, but this little thing was dirty & covered in burrs. We gave it some chicken but couldn’t catch it. I think it may have wandered over from the outdoor cat hoarder colony down the street; that house is awful & we saw kittens there last week.
This morning the downstairs neighbor managed to grab it for us, and I put it on this cozy towel & started combing and picking the burrs & sticks out of its fur. It calmed down immediately and has been chilling here with me in the kitchen ever since. Got a vet appointment in an hour to get my little buddy cleaned up & checked out. I hope it isn’t too sick; I think it might have a cold.
If we can, we are probably going to keep her.
What a difference a day makes! Took this little guy to the vet, got the fleas and dirt washed off him, got some antibiotics for a slight cold, but he is otherwise fine. Kneading and purring up a storm, eating a lot and being heart-crushingly adorable.
We have named this glorious creature Nux.
A little over a month later and Nux is growing into a very long and floppy shoulder cat!
Oh my god!!!!
i’m so happy for this cat i hope nux knows im proud of him
Heart attacks symptoms are different for women. I recently learned this.
Everyone should know these things.
thanks to mainstream media and being unable to show breasts on TV, way too few people know about female signs of cardiac distress, and impending heart attacks. they only know about the “pain in the left arm” male symptom.
i had all these symptoms once and they sent me right to hospital
it was scary bc i didnt know these were the symptoms for female heart issues
Please, please, PLEASE, reblog this. i don’t know if I did save or called false alarm, with my boss’ life tonight. I felt I was being a bit paranoid, overreacting, but I told Mirage my thoughts and he, after reading over the article I showed him, immediately sprung into action and then shooed her off to the hospital. I don’t know if I did or not, but I knew she’d been super stressed. She’d off-handedly commented on her arm tingling and I asked her if she felt queasy on a hunch. I went to look at the symptoms and we went from there.
Holy shit, I didn’t even think the symptoms would be different between men and women. This is so hugely important and I don’t understand why we aren’t taught this.
One of the other symptoms that doesn’t get talked about , especially in women, is a “feeling of impending doom”. I am not even kidding, that is a legitimate diagnostic criteria.
Please – if you are feeling any of these symptoms and a sudden onset of “Holy shit the world is ending” do not let anyone tell you it’s “just nerves” or “just heartburn” or something.
Keep these in mind ESPECIALLY IF YOU’VE GOT HEART DISEASE IN YOUR FAMILY! So many more women die from heart attacks than because they don’t recognize the symptoms when they’re so different. Please stay safe and stay informed.
And for trans people, typically even if you’ve been on hormones you will still get the symptoms of your birth sex, so watch out for that
Every time I think ‘oh, Ill finally get full-time hours I wont have to struggle to get by paycheck to paycheck anymore,’ something happens and I dont get fucking full time.
This time it seemed like it was a for-sure thing… my coworker is retiring. I would get her position as soon as it opened up for internal recruitment. No more empty promises, they needed to fill that position…
But NOPE. Life is like ‘fuck you, you get to struggle, so the college will have an immediate fucking hiring freeze.’
(The last time they did a hiring freeze was before my time, but I’m told it lasted like 5 years. So I’m screwed. My whole office is pretty much screwed tbh, we dont have enough people as it is, and we are just about to begin a new program and we needed to hire additional staff for it…)
