I really can’t believe the genocide is still ongoing. My entire perspective on people. Life. Relationships. Health. Survival. Perseverance. Kindness. Patience. Has changed from witnessing this on my phone. And some people seem completely unaffected. I feel crazy everyday
The media won’t tell you this, but Israel has now killed 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
479,000 of them were children.
This is a holocaust.
Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.
They removed the children’s teeth so they couldn’t bite them while being raped and tortured. Epstein put his girlfriend and heir through dental school.
But let’s “move on”. There’s nothing to see here. Did you know the Dow Jones is up?
I NEEDED an endometrial biopsy.
I was bleeding for months. Passing clots the size of my palm. Fainting at work. Iron levels in the basement.
Doctor looked at my chart and said:
“You’re only 27.”
“Pain is normal for women.”
“Have you tried losing weight?”
“Sometimes women exaggerate cramps.”
“What if this is just stress?”
I said I can’t function. I can’t stand up without seeing stars. I’m scared.
He said:
“Let’s not jump to invasive procedures.”
“What if you want kids soon?”
“A biopsy can cause scarring.”
“You don’t want to risk fertility over heavy periods.”
Heavy periods.
Not hemorrhaging.
Not anemia.
Not collapsing in the shower.
Heavy periods.
He offered birth control for the fourth time.
I said, “I don’t care about preserving fertility. I care about not blacking out.”
He paused.
“Have you discussed that with your partner?”
So I brought him.
Doctor to him:
“Are you okay if she can’t have children?”
“You’re young. You might want a family.”
“Would that be a dealbreaker?”
Him:
“She needs to stop bleeding. That’s the only family planning we’re discussing.”
Suddenly the biopsy was scheduled.
Pathology came back: precancerous cells.
But sure.
Let’s center hypothetical babies and imaginary men while a woman is actively deteriorating in front of you.
Misogyny in medicine isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s just asking a dying woman if a man might want kids someday.
Cynthia Erivo addresses scrutiny around her close bond with co-star Ariana Grande:
“We’re not used to seeing it on camera, in front of people. A relationship where people are connected sometimes just makes people uncomfortable; we aren’t taught that those relationships are good for us.”
Nothing is serious to you people. You turn the Epstein files into a joke. You turn the genocide in Palestine into a joke. You turn ice raids into a joke. You turn SA into a joke. You turn Nazism into a joke. You turn everything into a joke. Y’all are clowns.
