don't hate me but I might post some of my favorite photos of the year

Poem by Jennifer Espinoza that really hit me right in the chest today.

oh my god I know it's nearly impossible for liberals to look to the greater good but if you see someone talking about how folks should heat their raw milk to kill any chance of bird flu please stop yourself from going 🤓🤓 that's just pasteurization 🤓🤓

We are trying to stop an emerging disease no one gives a fuck about your desperate need to be the smartest, rightest person in the room.

If people want to spend their time doing their own pasteurization LET THEM. It's a huge improvement!!

Shaming people makes everything worse.

Shaming people for not vaccinating, masking, even not washing their hands makes things WORSE. It drives them further from being in a place to change their mind.

That high and mighty feeling is just your selfish ego being boosted, you're actually just hurting your community.

Blow off steam in safe places, sure, but shame is a very terrible method of promoting public health.

I say it a lot so just so you know what I mean

no matter who is around, but especially if you're going to be eating a big meal with kids, try and refrain from talking about how "bad" you're being or referring to how much food you are eating or the foods themselves as having morality (good v bad).

when denying food "too much sugar hurts my stomach" vs "I'd have to run miles to work that off" makes a big difference with how everyone, but especially kids, form a relationship with food and holidays.

omg I have a feeling this will be an evergreen reminder but as someone who has talked MANY people through their vaccine hesitancy, calling people stupid and invalidating their fears is how you make it worse.

do you care about vaccination access or do you just want to dunk?

Just Take Them and Leave Me Alone by Raoof Haghighi

#SilentSunday

everyone is affected by the poor gynecological, labor, and delivery care in this country (US)

some people, like those who have uteruses, are affected more than others.

but watch a father lose his wife and two babies within 45 mins of each other and tell me cis men are not affected by this.

if you are a cis-man, be fucking louder about reproductive healthcare/rights. being quiet, acting like it's not your place, stepping back so only those physically affected speak up is PART OF THE PROBLEM.

If you've ever said "no uterus, no opinion" you are the worst and should probably donate some money to an abortion fund near you to make up for the bad karma.

Not only is it transphobic as fuck, losing your uterus is a literal complication of pregnancy. Not to mention cancer survivors or people who get hysterectomies for literally any reason at all. I'd quite like their opinions.

It's 2024, reducing womanhood down to if you're currently capable of bearing a child is a woman hating move.

not wanting to support the administration funding the creation of concentration camps and the bombing of said concentration camps shouldn't be a far left position

Just saw a "Tim Walz is one of the helpers Mr. Rogers promised us" post

and I must once again emphasize that Mr. Rogers said that to children. Because children often can't be helpers in these big issues. He wasn't talking to adults.

Adults, you are supposed to be the helpers. Politicians will not save you. There's no one size fits all way to help your community, but you're not the ones that are supposed to be looking for the helpers.

just a reminder that if you qualify for SNAP/WIC/any type of food assistance you should use it if able, please use tax dollars for good ✨

I said I'd never post about RFK but this is too funny
