I needed to move all my tumblr posts because I'm scared parts of my blog would be lost. I'm not sure if I'm going to be deleted so I'm just trying to be safe.
so last week I reposted the money cat hoping money would come my way and guess what… IT WORKED VERY WELL!
the very next day I found the most amazing website. they will literally pay you to read emails, take quizzes, play games, and go shopping! (for market research or some shit.) I know that they’re legit bc I already received my first $20 via paypal, BLESS U MONEY CAT 😭 I only spent like an hour taking quizzes so I couldn’t be happier
WELL WHATS THE WEBSITE DROP A LINK PLEASEEE
Oops you can sign up here If you’re from USA! the website is called survey junkie
honestly i have saved a lot of hassle by specifically requesting to be treated by female medical professionals whenever possible
my last male doctor told me, within literal minutes of meeting me, that I wasn’t sick actually and all my problems were just in my head and I was making everything up.
The very next female doctor I went to asked me questions about my symptoms, about how long I’d been having issues, and why I was concerned. And then she wrote me a prescription
One time I was referred to a male infectious disease doctor and he laughed off my symptoms and explained that they were caused by anxiety and lack of sleep. I saw a female PCP a month later and she took a leap and tested me for Lymes. The test came back positive and I was treated before it got bad. I thank her everyday for having the guts to listen to me and take action.
I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance for severe abdominal pain on my left side. I was fading in and out of consciousness the pain was so bad. Of course the assumption was that my appendix was going to rupture, but when the doctor ruled that out he decided it was simply period cramps and told me to take Tylenol.
As I was stumbling out of the ER the charge nurse stopped me and asked where the fuck I was going. I told her I’d been discharged and she took a look at my charts and deadass rolled her eyes. Called the doctor back in to point out a substantial fluid buildup near my ovaries. He called it a “nonissue” and this brave nurse, bless her heart, argued with him.
As it turns out, I had a massive cyst on my left ovary that had ruptured, hence the pain being on one side. Apparently, it could have killed me. She asked me if this had happened before, which it had. The male doctor then had also told me it was cramps.
I was sent to a specialist, and within two days was diagnosed with severe endometriosis, which put me at a high risk for additional ovarian cysts. Within a month I’d had surgery, it was small and noninvasive, but there was a chance it could genuinely save my life one day.
It took three years of potentially deadly complications that I had NO IDEA were even happening before a nurse that saw me in passing realized what had happened. So yeah, male doctors suck.
Endometriosis is CONSTANTLY misdiagnosed by male drs They fucking suck
You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression.
We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Todaywe take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report.
The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment.
Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now.
If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.
Please reblog this as much as you reblogged the posts about Net Neutrality.
If Article 13 is approved, European People might be basically banned from uploading any fan content.
You won’t get new fanfics from people in Europe.
You won’t get new gifs from people in Europe.
You won’t get new fanart from people in Europe.
Because they’ll be automatically filtered and blocked!
We might leave Tumblr and other fandom pages.
And if we’re getting all our content blocked?
You might lose some of your favourite followers/mutuals.
You might not get to read the rest of that fic you’re dying to read – simply because the writer lives in the wrong country.
So do whatever you can to help us stop this.
Reblog this.
CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO TELL THEM YOU DON’T WANT ARTICLE 13 TO BE APPROVED IF YOU’RE EUROPEAN! DO IT VIA THE HOMEPAGE
I honestly believe that people who lost their childhood, teenage years to mental illness and/or trauma are so strong for still being here. Especially once you’re about 18-25 and trying to relearn how to be in society and healthy and human.
Especially when you decide to work towards getting better.
Especially when your life isn’t where you wished it would be.
Stay alive okay? If you lost your youth, I’m sorry and I’m so proud of you for still being here. Keep fighting. Your best years are ahead of you.
Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting.
If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr.
THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES.
IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR.
So here is what you need to do to drag this article down.
1. Spread the word
I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down.
2. Make your own content
Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved.
3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs
Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD.
The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people.
Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.”
We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post.
FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE.
Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.
Crystal is a 9 year old AQHA mare, and is a bit… special. In more than one regard.
Crystal is one of the sweetest, most gentle horses I’ve ever met, with the patience of a saint, but she’s got a few quirks about her that make her unique.
For starters, Crystal is smart enough to figure out how to open the door on her stall and how to open the gate, but somehow dumb enough to walk straight into a tree that was directly in front of her. Crystal also LOVES belly rubs and has made us think she was sick/injured a few times cause she’d lay down and scoot herself around on the ground just to scratch her belly. She’s also got a thing for chewing on leadropes (annoyingly…)
This is what you get when you buy a horse that fell into a frozen pond at 3 months old and almost died of hypothermia.
The thing is, Crystal needs some help. Crystal has /something/ going on with her legs that’s made her lame in all 4 legs. This poor mare went from one of the most spirited horses I know to barely able to walk in under 6 months.
The vet can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong without some really damned expensive medical procedures ($2000ish just for testing, x-rays, and a few other things). Her owner, my brother, doesn’t have that kind of money, and neither do I.
We both love Crystal dearly, and we’d like to see her healthy again, but unless we can scrape up the cash, we’re afraid she’s going to have to be put down. She, Penny, and Cloud practically grew up together and are pretty much inseparable. (Fame only joined the herd two years ago, but he’s only a two year old anyway)
I don’t usually ask for help, any of my friends will say that I’m really damn stubborn, but Crystal needs the help more than I need my pride. If anyone can donate anything to go towards Crystal potentially getting the help she needs, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Edit; This took off WAY more than I expected, so I decided to create a GoFundMe. Please, even if you can’t donate much, we’d appreciate every penny!
$125 in 1 day?! I cant believe it, I’m so unbelievably happy, and so, so thankful to everyone who’s donated. If we can get to $200 by the end of the week, that means we can get Crystal’s x-rays taken care of and start her on the road to getting better!
Even if you can’t donate, just sharing this post is more than enough, and I’ll continue to post updates on Crystal’s condition.
Again, thank you all so much for all this support, I wish I could do something besides say a simple “thank you” to show how much this means to me. 💚💚💚
Children/teens aren’t allowed to be sad or in a bad mood because they can get yelled at for it and ridiculed and told to ‘change your attitude or I will for you’, while adults who are sad or in a bad mood, are allowed to yell at and take their frustration out on the kids. Adult privilege huh?
And when the adult is in a bad mood, it’s the kids job to step on eggshells in order to keep them from not exploding, and when they do, it’s on them.
And when the child is in the bad mood, it’s their job to try to hide it, and when they break apart trying to, it’s on them.
What extra sucks about this is that adults literally have more experience, context, perspective, and brain development to help them manage emotions. Adults who do this are shit. We are the adults, we should not be expecting kids who are still developing and learning about the world and trying to figure out their place in it to be the ones who are emotionally mature.
People who treat adulthood like a power trip are honestly shit and should not have authority over kids.
