• purchasing large amounts of medical supplies like ventilators, gloves, masks, etc. at immorally heightened prices & donating them to hospitals, specifically rural, under-supported hospitals, hospitals in the heart of the pandemic
The biggest, most heartbreaking struggle I’ve been having is trying to tell my dad to stay home. He doesn’t believe this is as serious as it is, & he has COPD & emphysema.
“You’re not like most women” is a manipulative, misogynistic tactic men use to make women feel more competitive towards each other to “earn” a man’s attention & affection, solely for his own benefit.
My mom stays up significantly later than me. How does she do this?! I often spend my nights wishing it was after 9pm because then it would be an appropriate time to actually go to bed.
I laughed because I seriously thought this fool was joking. He was livid & at first didn’t believe me. & I was just like, “are you fucking kidding me?”
It still makes me chuckle though. Like imagine. Fuck.
I will never forget my crazy ex bringing up a photo of an ultrasound he found deep on my phone like it was some big secret I was hiding from him. Like at some point I was pregnant &/or had a child & never told him.... when it actually was of my niece.
However, I have random moments where I’m like “I could use a cigarette right now.” & I’ve never smoked in my entire life.
I don’t get it, but I get it - ya know?
Both of my parents smoked for most of my life, it’s just something pretty much everyone does in my family. & for the longest time I never understood why or how much or anything like that because cigarettes smell fucking awful & give me nausea.
