So about 3 weeks ago my father had his gallbladder out it was the size of a 2-liter soda botte resulting in an 18-inch opening across his stomach and him not being allowed to return to work for now
During the operation, they took a biopsy of his liver and a day before the 2-year anniversary of my mom’s death we found out he has cancer and severe cirrhosis resulting in the need of a transplant which we’ve been told he does not qualify for
We’ve been told there’s nothing they can really do to treat it but we are going to the hospital in Kansas City where my mother and I had both received wonderful treatment and I continue to be treated at, for a second opinion
My dad is only 55 I lost my mom 2 years ago at 19 forcing me to provide for my sisters I can’t lose my dad not after finally reconnecting with him as an adult
I think we’re currently about 3000$ in Medical debt that his insurance won’t pay and the bills are rolling in my income is a disability check and baby sitting but I’ve been in the hospital with a viral infection in my heart and blood cclot in my leg and haven’t been able to return back to the daycare because I can’t seem to get over it
On top of that my vehicle may need at most a new tire at the very least I’ll have to get it repaired and I have like 6$ in my bank account it’s the only way we can get to appointments which are usually an hour away
I’m going to make a donation and try to sell some art I know we’re all having a hard time but if you could help me out and reblog I’d appreaciate it even if we can just get enough to make the 8 hour travel to Kansas City and the rest of our appointments and his medication
My paypal is smith.morri821@gmail.com or
PayPal.Me/MS821 If you guys want to help me out

LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS
STOP REBLOGGING THIS FUCKING GARBAGE POST. IT IS 100% FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CAN AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL LITERALLY KILL.
DO YOU NOT SEE WARNING LABELS THAT SAY “DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING”? THEY AREN’T FUCKING AROUND. YOU CAN FUCKING BURN THEIR ESOPHAGUS BY CAUSING VOMITING, CAUSE CHOKING, DROWNING, OR MAKE IT WORSE!
AGAIN DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING DOWN ANYONE’S THROAT. THEY. CAN. DROWN.
IF SOMEONE IS LOSING CONCIOUSNESS ALL THE CHIT CHAT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT PREVENT IT AT THAT POINT THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER.
“Buuut i don’t wanna take them to the hospital!!!”
WELL SUNSHINE GLAD YOU’D RATHER HAVE A DEAD FRIEND THAN A LIVING ONE BUT YOU’RE IN LUCK
CALL FUCKING POISON CONTROL. THEY ARE NOT THE COPS. THEY WILL HELP YOU.
AND IF THEY SAY GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL YOU GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. NO EXCUSES. 0. NONE.
I have seen this shit cross my dash SO MANY TIMES so PLEASE fucking reblog this and prevent some well meaning idiot from accidentally killing someone they love!
For the love of god PLEASE REBLOG THIS
I see this stupid fucking post one a goddamn week and someone is going to literally fucking die from it
Seriously just fucking call poison control if someone’s eaten something they maybe (or definitely) shouldn’t, or too much of something, but you’re not sure if you should take them to the hospital.
Tell the operator what they consumed and how much of it and they’ll tell you how much you need to worry, what to do to treat them (SOMETIMES inducing vomiting is good, other times it’s a terrible idea, it depends on what the poison is), or what symptoms you should look out for (because sometimes one person has a much higher sensitivity than another to the same substance).
They’ll probably ask you questions about the substance and quantity consumed, about the poisoned person’s current condition and how long it’s been since they consumed whatever poisoned them, and if the person has any pre-existing health conditions that might cause extra issues (like… if someone has conditions of poor kidney or liver function, they’re more at risk from poisoning because those organs are critical to processing and eliminating toxins).
Poison control lines exist to give you information. They’re not the cops, they’re there to save lives. And even if they were the cops… you’d rather have your friend get arrested for doing drugs than die, right? RIGHT? Call fucking poison control. And then you fucking do what poison control tells you to.
Disabled women and domestic violence- it’s time to take action!
I work in a DV shelter doing domestic violence and sexual violence prevention, and I see people with disabilities–often learning disabilities or mobility-related disabilities–seek services all the time. Most often they are women, but of all the demographics we serve, I would say PWD is the one where we see the most men.
We are consistently failing the most marginalized people among us. I do what I can–my work focuses on populations most at risk, including queer and trans folk, homeless folks, and people with disabilities–but there aren’t nearly enough people doing the kind of work I do. I’d encourage all of you to consider reaching out to a local DV program or rape crisis center and asking what you can do to support prevention efforts.

Oh my goodness!
if a professor brags about how hard it is to pass their class then drop the class. they should not be proud of being bad at conveying information to students. you’re not paying thousands of dollars to fail. find a professor that wants you to pass.
as a college instructor I approve this message
Oh my god, food extract is not the same as an essential oil.
Food extract is the flavoring of something cooked down into a carrier oil or alcohol that is safe for human ingestion.
Essential oil is the pure extract of the plant refined down and distilled for concentrated medicinal purposes to a significantly higher strength than simply adding ground up mint leaves to your water. The two are not comparable in any way.
Cinnamon extract and cinnamon essential oil are not the same thing.
One is about 100 times the strength of the other and can also cause acute organ failure. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the food extract.
Sweet gods I’m not trying to be mean, I want you to be aware and safe and stop putting yourselves and others at risk. Please.
Like maybe my tone is hard to read, maybe it just comes off as really angry but it’s not, it’s fear and worry. I read posts and clutch my head in alarm going “no! No! That’s how people die!” And then I get exasperated because a bunch of people not formally qualified chime in with “um actually this is a lie” and it’s not, it’s really, really not.
I’m not some big pharma advocate. I’m a crunchy witch hippy just like you with salt rock lamps and rose quartz all over my house. I just happen to have spent the last 15 years of my life studying the actual science of holistic medicines and I’m trying to help you not get hurt (or worse) becuase you trusted a sales person with no idea what the ever loving hell they were talking about beyond a sales pitch designed to maximize profit. Gah.
I see this so often in the Mommy world. There was a lady not long ago in one of the mom groups who was really worried about her toddler. He’d had a persistent cough for weeks and the doctor couldn’t figure out why. Someone asked, well what have to tried to treat it with, so far? She said she was using a humidifier, honey, and eucalyptus EO in the shower every night.
Yeah.
In case you were wondering, eucalyptus can cause respiratory distress in young children.
Sadly I don’t wonder. I have a friend whose daughter died from a home made menthol oil chest rub. She wasn’t even ten yet, but her mom– a qualified aromatherapist– thought she’d be old enough to handle it. She went into respitory distress and died seizing in her mother’s arms on route to the hospital. It was one of the most harrowing stories I had to listen to during my holistic training. She stood up there, on this podium next to a bunch of ponzy scheme essential oil sellers who looked like they wanted the floor to swallow them, and said “I killed my child with good intentions”.
I’ll never forget the look on her face.
So to reiterate, children under the age of ten should not be directly exposed to things like eucalyptus oil, peppermint or wintergreen. If you are using such things in your house and your child starts to complain of headaches, lethargy and general “feel worse”, don’t just assume it’s the cold/flu. Those are all signs of menthol sensitivity and they only get worse with increased exposure. Ventilate the room, take them outside if you can until the air clears. Do not apply again.
Rapid onset wheezing may be a sign of allergic reaction or possible asthma attack triggered by the menthol too. If they tell you their chest is warm or fuzzy when you use it, that’s another sign it’s not going down well with them. Again, ventilate the area or remove anything you applied to them. Administer inhalers if necessary. Watch for any more labored breathing or if they suddenly go limp or you can’t wake them up. If they do call 911.
This can also apply to people with allergies and asthma who are otherwise healthy.
One of the safest, natural ways to alleviate congestion is with just pure good old fashioned warm steam. Keep the air moist, drink plenty of warm fluids. Menthol can help relieve the feeling of congestion, but there’s limited evidence to suggest it actually clears the airways. And for the love of god don’t inhale mustard or horseradish (I’ve seen that suggestion on posts too, though how you’d get those oils I don’t know). That’s literally what tear gas is made of.
Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
What a headline.
Ok, but consider the ramifications?
We can’t just sit around cynically waiting for some imaginary “conservative generation” to “die off”. They won’t. It’s the liberals in every generation who die, much faster.
The baby boomers were one of the most radical generations this world has ever seen. Collectively, they advanced civil rights, women’s rights, freedom movements around the world, queer rights, almost the entire spectrum of human rights in the short course of less than fifteen years. The very generation that now gets decried by young people as conservative and holding back the world was once out protesting in the streets worldwide.
And getting shot for it.
Because it’s the ones who fight back who die first, then the ones who don’t fight back but are on the side of less power second.
The most radical and effective thing we could do in the next two decades is make sure that people live and have the leisure – and it is leisure for many – to engage in activism.
