Public health has deteriorated, with prominent health care professionals, public officials, and policymakers spreading misinformation or minimizing the pandemic. Many are promoting the idea that COVID is not the mass disabling event that many argue it is, that everyone will be fine because vaccines and antiviral medications exist without acknowledging structural barriers and racial disparities, and that high-risk people are inevitable acceptable losses. In an August interview with the BBC, Dr. Anthony Fauci said, "...even though you'll find the vulnerable will fall by the wayside, they'll get infected, they'll get hospitalized, and some will die. It's not going to be this tsunami of cases that we've seen.” Dr. Vinay Prasad wrote the following in his newsletter: “If your child is sick, you should not test them, and you should send them to school if they are mildly ill… Go to work if you feel up for it; stay home if you are too sick to work. Don’t test.”

The condescension of people in positions of authority who are telling the public not to worry dismisses the valid fear of high-risk people who struggle to exist in public spaces without being harassed for masking or requesting accommodations because society abandoned us in a push to return to “normal” while leaving many behind.

Hello everyone! Unfortunately my new job will not be paying until two months, and I am disabled with a life limiting disability that requires medication for me to continue living, I would absolutely love to work for you if youd so like.

I do 45 usd digital character commissions on ko-fi. I have been drawing much faster, ETA is 2-4 weeks (earlier if possible. But the first commissions get delivered as fast as days.) And there is a public tracking list.

I would absolutely love any reblog and commission!

Beyond my capabilities: furry, non-humanoid characters, helmed characters, "real people" (i.e: "can you draw my boyfriend" / - "can you draw me?", requests of that manner) Im sorry! Everything else should be good to go. Let me draw your ocs please! You can request matching portraits too!

Someone close to my mama, a good friend of hers, has unexpectedly passed away. I am hoping to use my reach on my socials to get his family the money they need to bury their loved one. All I ask is that you share this post if you are unable to donate.

Please help me go into remission from Type II diabetes

Hello everyone, I am so sorry to remake this post, but I am very scared. I am experiencing embarassing and vulnerable symptoms- my type II diabetes is becoming progressive, and I am desperate to go into remission. It has affected my liver and my heart, and neuropathy has made me partially incontinent. On April I was hospitalized twice. I have no thyroid, and without medication, it will put me into a myxedema coma and will kill me within days. Hypothyroidism and type II diabetes is making it very difficult for me to find work, as I am from the global south (the Philippines), with government aid only covering 20,000 pesos (around 326 usd) a year. I am the only person in my family who can work; my mother is paralyzed from a brain injury, and my sister is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I need help covering for my new medication, as I now take metformin twice a day, and phosphates to help with my liver and kidneys, and b complex to help bolster my immune system. Im sorry I keep remaking this post, I am alone and desperate. Community is all I have. Thank you so much for your endless grace and compassion.

my job can be hard, sometimes. the other day i had a long day of watching preschoolers who were scratching me, trying to get into places they shouldn't every 5 seconds, and then in the last hour of my shift some little girl got her pee all over me. it was hectic but i got through it.

my friend eslam, who i've known for almost two years now, also works with children. she is a teacher in gaza and has recently gone back to work since the war in order to support her three children. she tells me the school has no desks or chairs, so they sit on the ground as they learn. eslam tells me the circumstances of teaching in gaza are hard, but she still does her very best to give them the best education possible, and to give them a sense of hope and normalcy amidst the war.

working with kids is hard already, but i can't imagine teaching kids like eslam does in these conditions. to teach them with so few resources, all while the children are likely struggling with hunger, grief, and ptsd from israeli bombing. i've worked with kids in difficult circumstances, and it breaks my heart to see them suffering sometimes when there's hardly anything i can do about it. i can only imagine how hard it must be for eslam to watch her students face even worse conditions every single day. i admire her so much for trying her absolute hardest to still make sure these kids receive a proper education, and to give them something to look forward to each day.

despite how hard eslam is working, her teaching job still doesn't make enough to help her family survive. i want to ask that if you have any funds to spare to please consider donating to @eslamram2's family and campaign. the funds would go towards helping her youngest mahmoud who has recently fallen ill, and keeping the rest of her family fed and healthy. families in gaza are still struggling. they need all the help you can get.

THANKS FOR HELPING US MEET LOLA'S GOAL! We now have a new GoFundMe that's more directly aimed at her ultimate goal: fleeing Nigeria and going to school in Germany. Nigeria's getting worse, homophobic hate crimes are increasing, and Lola's chances of survival while in the country get narrower by the day. She needs a new life in Germany in order to thrive.

Before we can get her there, Lola needs several things: English entrance exam ($200), rent ($460/mo, or $115/wk), and money for food, transportation, and medicine when she gets sick.

We are asking for allies to donate so that she can finally start living a life of he own. Can anyone help by sharing or offering funds?

Today I was terminated from my job as a Health Assistant at a low income health clinic and refused my full paycheck upon dismissal, offered yesterday only an incomplete paycheck for my paid leave. This union-busting, retaliatory dismissal comes on the heels of us demanding an end to the Call Center move for the clinics! I was the only union steward of color at the Old Town Clinic and the only Health Assistant union steward. I had no escalatory disciplinary history and was abruptly terminated for private discussions with union members I counseled against our employer.

I was refused a steward at my initial hearing and had to fight bitterly to be allowed a rep at all.

Who I am: A mother, a Salvadoran refugee, a long-term resident of Portland, a queer woman married to a trans woman, a union steward (the only steward of color at the clinic), an elected member of my union local’s executive board, an organizer, the last standing connection between our local and the Labor Committee to Defend Immigrants since my wife (and author of our local’s anti-deportation resolution to be considered at our union’s international convention in August) was terminated in March for antiracism and is awaiting to hear back if the union will take her case towards arbitration or not. She has struggled to find openings even for low wage entry level work. Now are both unemployed while raising an infant baby during the worst economic downturn we’ve ever seen.

We both worked to provide services to the homeless but our organization is committing to waves of mass layoffs at the exact moment homelessness and adult+childhood poverty are at an all time historic high. Now we face the prospect of homelessness ourselves.

If you want your healthcare managed by AI and call centers, look away. If you hate union-busting and want to know who is speaking to you about your private health information, share and sign.

Please share, even if you are not in Portland. If you care about immigrants, if you care about mothers, if you care about workers rights, if you care about boots on the ground stopping AI and ending racism in the workplace, please sign and bring attention to this and let people know what we need.

Portland and our homeless, houseless, and impoverished communities deserve real healthcare, not robotic, dissociated garbage. My family will be homeless and other workers will be next.

Let this employer know their retaliatory actions against a union steward of color is not acceptable to the public!

Olivia represented an employee and person of color who was retaliated against in a recorded meeting the employee had requested. The meeting was supposed to address racist comments about Asians including mocking accents made by a coworker of that employee. Instead HR retaliated against him for making the reports and attempted to violate his union rights by transforming that meeting he had called into an investigation of him for discriminating against his coworker by calling them racist but without any prior notice of an investigatory meeting. It was by chance he had a steward present. From Olivia’s statement she added to the petition:

I've returned to CSP after many months, and ended up making Pride art by coincidence(I had this drafted for a while, but the timing for when I completed this is quite perfect)!

These are my OCs Amy & Rivera; the background is inspired by Ashabi a.k.a., AceInGrace's asexual flag design.

Happy Pride Month to Ashabi, to the Black asexuals, Black aromantics, Black aroaces and all those that fall within that spectrum
