I don't think I'm coming back... so this tumblr is a grave. Vegetarian, feminist, depressive, obsessive, pseudo-ecologist, animal lover; moon, music, movies and wolves worshipper... mexican loner... (lots of Katatonia and Linkin Park)... Probably too old to be here.
even the fundraisers, even the protests, in the face of an active genocide where a million people are given LESS THAN TWO HOURS to escape to safety and then their convoys of ambulances and civilians are targeted!!!!!! its beyond words, its beyond horror to see this carried out by an official state entity that not only goes to the UN with the masquerade of civility but has the unconditional support of the first world. barbaric times, savages in suits and podiums filled with blood
its actually horrifying because gazans haven’t had water, internet access, and people cannot even imagine the extent of this as a reality for SIX DAYS. they are people in an open air prison but they are PEOPLE, my friends from gaza are children’s illustrators, journalists, writers, READERS, bookstore owners, vloggers, all of them right now are one and the same posting once a day to tell us “god help us.” if they have a longer chance, they say “we don’t want to leave gaza. we don’t want a second nakba. pray for us. stop the war.” if they have a longer time they post their wills and last words.
imagine the last moment of someone facing down the gun of a militant who broke into their home. imagine them hiding their children behind them, telling them not to worry. imagine the fear. imagine the terror. now imagine that moment suspended into six days, and the militant is not a militant but their prison warden who has already kept this person and their children trapped in their home for as long as they’ve been alive. they have never met him in person before. they’ve only met him when he’s dropped bombs on their neighborhood. and now imagine every country and every government in the world supporting this. this is the reality gazans are facing. two million hostages so israel can keep functioning the way it always has, and now two million hostages facing genocide and ethnic cleansing.
I really hope everyone reblogging this followed the link and read the article, because it’s larger point is really good
“Reproductive health and childbirth is a crutch, and Lucas gets away with it because his audience accepts that these things are mysterious and cannot be intervened with the way that that the loss of limbs can be remedied with robot prosthetics, or the way Luke can be rescued from near-death on Hoth by being submerged in a bacta tank. Having babies is worse than being mauled by a wampa ice creature or being chopped up by lightsabers and falling into a river of lava. Lucas can write a world like that, and worse, the audience will accept it.
But uteruses aren’t made of malignant magic. Women’s bodies are real physical things that can be studied and understood and when necessary, cured. ”
IDK about everyone else, but I’ve actually been certified as a doula and childbirth educator and worked in women’s health media for most of a decade.
All points valid, but “Help me OB-GYN Kenobi” broke me.
And this is how you can tell a story was written by men because pre-natal healthcare never even occurred to the writer. Women’s insides are a mysterious and magical place that no man either can fathom, or just just not want to think about, so in stories like this they just handwave it away as” dying in childbirth”.
On Thursday, June 24th, 2021, the Cowessess First Nation announced they had uncovered up to 751 unmarked graves near the former grounds of the Marieval Residential School in Saskatchewan, a Canadian province. The purpose of these schools was to remove
Indigenous children from their families and native culture. The Catholic Church owned and operated many of these schools, some of which remained open until the mid-90’s.
Hours later, protestors traveled to the Saskatoon Catholic Cathedral. There they poured bright red paint down its steps. Across the doors, using the same red, they smeared handprints and scrawled out the words “We Were Children”.
Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme stated they believe the headstones or markers for the hundreds of graves had been deliberately removed. They found no evidence of a mass grave.
“ Just gather us all in one place and kill us all with missiles. Let us all die at once as martyrs. Because what you’re doing right now is torture! “
I am still sorry if putting this in blm and stop asian hate offends anyone, but as you know by now, social media platforms are preventing Palestine from trending. And you deserve to know the truth. And Palestinian deserve to be heard
choking on water is the worst because how do you stop choking? drink something? well ive got some bad news for you
Lean your head forward, preferably to knee level, and let the water kind of drain out of your mouth. When your are able to, take deep slow breaths. No heimlich maneuver or physical assists from somebody else should be used beyond this, otherwise you could vomit and escalate the issue. Its about keeping the larynx open. Hopefully this helps.
Reblog to fucking save a life.
if they begin to recover (if they’re coughing and gasping but breathing), do not pound them on the back, and especially do not attempt a Heimlich manouver; doing so may provoke them to vomit, which will make the problem much worse in a big hurry. Leave them alone physically and encourage them to breathe slowly and as deeply as they can as they expel the last of the water from their throat. The head-down face-down position is important, even if the head is only hung between the knees, permitting any water collected in their throat to drain out the mouth. You absolutely do not want their larynx to spasm shut in response to water intrusion.
Expect full recovery to take quite some time, possibly as long as several hours if they were swimming when this happened and they were badly weakened by the event.
OK, this is difficult at first, but if you are choking on water (or saliva) breathe through your nose… the difficult part is to think about it because your body starts coughing, you grasp for air through your mouth, you panic and keep coughing… So, it takes practice to think in that moment, but inhale through your nose, exhale through your nose and keep doing it, you’ll cough a bit but believe me it will fix itself. Whenever my mom started choking she would signal me to pound her in the back, and I would just say “breathe through your nose” while I lightly pound her back, she would get super mad at me “stop saying breathe through your nose, because I can’t”… but one day she got it, she could, it works.
