What do you think all the spy cameras and data centers are for?
Why are all new cars starting in 2027 going to have kill switches that scan your eyeballs?
The surveillance state prison is being built all around you.
Martha Stewart went to prison for saving herself $45,673 using an illegal stock tip.
Donald Trump traded stocks 3,700 times between Jan—Mar of this year, totaling between $220–$750 million, and used the presidency to make his stocks go up… And he’s walking around a free man.
A lot of single moms did try to give their child a dad. Some men just chose cheating, abandonment, violence, or disappearing over being a father. Funny how the woman raising the child gets blamed more than the man who left.
Sometimes when I tell people about having go bags, they say if the apocalypse happens they just want to die. But I’m thinking more about stuff like this, where you need to move fast and just get out of the area. Have stuff for your pets ready, too
They literally tried to charge her with a FELONY for making a post on social media about not having clean drinking water. Thankfully, the charges were dropped, but everyone should be extremely concerned about the implications of this. Things are continuing to head in a very dangerous direction. They have made it crystal clear that they will not abide by the Constitution and do not honor the rights that we are supposed to be guaranteed as Americans.
A peer-reviewed study found Black patients matched with Black doctors were 27% less likely to die in the hospital. A separate study found Black residents live longer in counties with more Black primary care physicians. “Find A Black Doctor” exists because the disparities are real
In 2012 i was diagnosed with a deadly blood disorder known as TTP. I was in the hospital for a month. A white nurse almost killed me because she thought i was drug seeking. I kept telling her my central line in my groin was hurting& she wouldn’t give me any morphine just Tylenol.
I went septic later on that night because of the central line. I went into SVT and had to go to cardiac ICU for a week. I was 18. My TTP flared up again in 2016 and i went to the ER. I told the (white) doctor that i had TTP and that i needed to be admitted. He had my records right in front of him. I was just there 4 years earlier, the same hospital diagnosed me.
He told me that i didn’t have TTP…i had ITP. He sent me home with steroids and pain meds. I cried and cried and sat at home all weekend until i could get to my hematologist. I called them and they had me come in immediately. Got labs drawn…my hemoglobin and platelets were VERY low. They did a direct admit: I had to get 14 bags of platelets and 3 bags of blood. My hematologist and his NP told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve died.
More recently in 2022 i went to a freestanding ED because i thought i had the flu. I was in pain, my blood pressure was elevated, i had a fever. I told the black NP that i have TTP and asked them to do a cbc and ADAMTS13 level if they could. I got pain meds, waited for the (white) doc to come and see me. He told me ny labs were “fine” and that i just had a stomach virus. I didn’t believe that so i asked him what my platelet count was. He told me 30k (normal platelet count in non chemo patients are 150k-400k) i almost lost my shit on him.
He went back and further with me for 10 minutes about how i wasn’t having a TTP flare up and i told him to call the fucking hospital that I’m usually treated at and find me a bed. He begrudgingly did it. He came back not even 10 minutes later and said that the hospital i usually go to was full (it was around Christmas time) but after the on call hematologist at the level 1 trauma center downtown saw my blood work they wanted me to come in IMMEDIATELY. Hematologist told me if i would’ve waited any longer i would’ve been dead before Christmas.
Every time that I’ve almost died it was either at the hands of a white nurse or doctor. They don���t take our pain or complaints seriously! They think we are drug addicts. I literally became a nurse because of this. We need black doctors. That lawsuit is just a bunch of fucking racists who are mad. Fuck them.
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
I just think it would be better for everyone if the people who make adhesive for maxi pads and the people who make adhesive for bookstore price stickers switched jobs
White women have been calling Black women "Shenaenae", "La'Quisha", and "ShaNiqua" in a demeaning manner since the 80's. Latinas were called "Consuela", "Guadalupe", or "Maria" and Asian women were called "Ling-Ling", but the moment ‘Karen’ became a meme criticizing entitled behavior, suddenly people wanted to talk about respect and stereotyping.
I’m in engineering. My laptop has $2k of licensed software for my senior project. It doesn’t leave my desk.
My dormmate kept asking to “just use it for Netflix” because his was slow.
I said no. Every time.
“Too much important stuff on here. Use the library computers.”
He waited until I was in the shower, grabbed it, and spilled Dr Pepper on the keyboard. Fried the motherboard.
Repair: $900. Data recovery: $300.
His response: “It’s just a laptop bro. My parents bought yours anyway.”
They didn’t. I worked 2 jobs for it.
RA said: “You guys should just work it out. Don’t make it a whole thing.”
I didn’t.
I filed a campus police report for destruction of property and took him to small claims.
Won $1,200.
He had to drop a class to pick up more shifts to pay me.
Now the whole floor says I “got him kicked out of school” because he failed that class.
No. He got himself kicked out of my trust when he picked up my laptop.
Yes that’s why i never wanna hear that shit about “my grandma and grandad were together forever/marriages used to last” YEAH GRANNY WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT OR GET AN APARTMENT ON HER OWN. SHE WAS A PRISNA!
