Bruh why am I here? @another-randomblogger - Tumblr Blog

anyway i looked up the post about seeing your grandma's boobs and tumblr has deleted the screenshot of the story where the finnish dude says that americans are "like that" because they haven't seen their grandma's tits

good job tumblr 👍

antarctic-octopus

theslowesthnery

there it is!

my comments on that post were (sorry for shamelessly copy-pasting them):

american attitudes about nudity are fucking wild, and the worst part is that because they're american, they just assume that everyone everywhere thinks the same. i will never forget seeing people on a left-leaning, progressive site saying that families bathing together is creepy and gross and clearly a sign that something is wrong with the family, that they'd never seen their siblings or parents naked and would in fact rather die. meanwhile to this day i bathe and go to the sauna with my sister and mother and have been bathing and sauna'ing with various family members - and even strangers! - my whole life. but yes, can confirm, seeing your grandma's tits as a child does you good, and not just because it teaches you that "beauty is fake and temporary", but because it broadens your ideas about what beauty even is in the first place. my sister and i used to spend our summers at our grandma's house by the countryside and frequently bathed and went to sauna with her. we saw not just her breasts but also her flabby skin, her moles and liver spots, her body hair and varicose veins, and we didn't see any of that as weird or ugly because they were a part of our grandma who we loved very much. and when we see those things in other people - ourselves included! - we think "well it wasn't ugly on my grandma's body, so why would it be ugly on anyone else's body?". it makes you much more understanding and "forgiving", if you will, towards the completely normal bodies of strangers as well as your own body.

How to spot signs and symptoms of Breast Cancer

Reblog to literally save a life

maximasmac

whish they told us this in school, all they did was say “feel for lumps, you will know when you feel it”

bokettochild

This is important, even if it doesn’t work with your blog theme REBLOG IT!!!!

Women need to know this, not all of us have ever been told what we need to look out for!

incubus-absolution

yeah reblogging especially for my transmasc fellows who (like me) might be real uncomfortable with their chests and not know what to watch out for because we try to avoid this kind of thing (just me? okay)

gwydionmisha

Cis Men need to know it too. They can get breast cancer even though the odds are lower.

Everyone needs to know Breast cancer symptoms

Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?

They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care

dragonladdie

It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.

We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.

foxgirltail

I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.

This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:

[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]

Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned

There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.

Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.

Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate

chillgamesh-the-swing

Residential schools were also common in the US. Although the programs were generally called “Indian boarding schools,” they had the same violently abusive christian framework, many many children died or disappeared in them, and those who survived were left with generations of trauma.

There were at least 367 in 29 US states, and while they were operated with state and federal funds from the 1820s to the 1960s, the total number of children who were taken has never been fully accounted for. In 1925 over 80% of school-age Native children in the US were enrolled in a residential school, about 61 thousand (stats via National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition).

A few of them are starting to be searched for children’s graves as well. 182 were discovered on the former site of the Albuquerque Indian School.

tepkunset

Hey, I want to stress to everyone that even searching the schools will still not recover all the lost. That blue dot in Nova Scotia? That’s Shubenacadie Residential School. Shubie is next to a large river. I’ve heard folks say they disposed of the deceased by washing them down that river. I’m inclined to believe it.

How many schools did not bury their dead on site? How many children will never be found? That is also important to remember.

Okay so I just got off the phone with them. I talked to a trans girl named Aurora & she was super helpful! She gave me a few doctors to talk to & encouraged me to seek therapy instead of just rushing to get my pills. She literally found a trans friendly therapist in my town & I would definitely recommend giving them a call!

If a British person makes a post talking about how we're having our rights to protest taken away because of this country's extreme policing, racism, and general bigotry, and your response is to be like "lol who cares they're British!!" then you're just an asshole actually

toxicrants

Literally. I know everyone likes to say 'Fuck the British' in the same way you say 'Fuck the South' but we are actually people and yes, that includes POC, disabled and vulnerable folk who will suffer because of these new laws that are generally related to bigotry and racism. So, for once if you could get off your performative woke high horse here on tumblr.com where you think your generic ass statements that condemn thousands of vulnerable people to systematic oppression is somehow 'quirky' or 'lol so funny' as long as it's aimed at the right group, that'd be great.

goth-princess-gwennie

As a British person, we have a deeply complex political history. The untied kingdom was United by force. Theres a reqason the North, Scotland, cornwall and the Midlands keep pushing for independance

iconuk01

The new England and Wales Police Bill, just passed in the House of Commons, allows the Police the power to "clamp down on protests for being too noisy, and create 10-year prison sentences just for causing someone ‘serious annoyance’" even if the protest is ONE person.

It's worth noting that the Police authorities have stated that, contrary to what the Government has said, they were not consulted on these powers and don't actually want them. (I treat that with suspicion since it's a power they will have and can use, even if they claim they don't want it, but it's stil an extraordinary thing for them to contradict the Government that much)

There's an unproven (but not completely unreasonable) notion that a motivating force behind at least some of these draconian rules is Steve Bray, the activist who has, for the past several years, been yelling, on a daily basis, in Parliament Square in London, usually "Stop Brexit" and the like, and can frequently be heard in the background of UK radio and TV news broadcasts. He's been embarassing the Tories for years now, and it's hard to NOT see some petty revenge being involved in this.

heliophile-oxon

Not forgetting that of course when shit like this happens, in any country - and UKnia is no exception - the result is to consolidate power even more in the hands of the already powerful - the corrupt, the right-wing, the rich - so that they can shut down any voices and sparks of opposition even harder.

#C3po voice: we're doomed #I'm british #I am also poc #The tories are killing us and the right are celebrating it #Brexit is the biggest scam since taxes #They have sold the nhs #We are so hopelessly fucked

thundergrace

My sister, who I live with, thought she couldn't get the vaccine because she doesn't have insurance.

We're not really used to "free".... spread the word.

pandasrawesomest

It depends where you go too. I tried to sign up at CVS and it said "free with insurance"

scaryterryj

In the US they are not allowed to charge an individual for this vaccine. They are allowed to bill your insurance. Whether you have insurance or not, you will not pay anything.

drst

THERE WILL BE A QUESTION ON THE REGISTRATION ABOUT INSURANCE YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL IT OUT.

When I registered there was a page for insurance information. We were instructed just to put “no insurance” and keep going.

Hospitals are struggling for nurses right now because people are leaving the profession entirely or leaving for temporary travel contract positions that pay well. They have been treated poorly, underpaid for the work they do, and inadequately protected this year, and they’re done.

My brother in law said they’re advertising for a position in his normal unit, offering twice his salary. But they won’t offer him extra to stay after risking his life working in the COVID unit for months, so he’s out. It’s absolutely insulting, and so many industries are going to have a major reckoning coming up.

ranting-to-much

My father retired early because they refused to hire just one person to help with the work load. They had to hire 5 people to replace him.

This is a common occurrence amongst his retired coffee group.

One lady was a head nurse that ran two floor at her hospital. They wanted her to take on more work. She agreed to do so oy if they gave her a small raise and hired an assistant for her. They refused so she retired early. They had to replace her with 20 people.

You are NOT replaceable!!! They tell you this to make you complacent to their exploration of you.

0hcicero

Fun fact! This sort of reckoning happened after the Black Plague, also! I'm no historian, (and history side of tumblr, please come in with the accuracy) but I did look into the history of the Black Plague for writing purposes, and in that case, it was because there were so few people left that peasants started agitating for better treatment and fairer wages, and because there were so few people who could do the work they had been doing that they were able to gain better wages and better hours. Historically, the labour shortage created by pandemics means a heightened bargaining capacity for workers of all sorts - an if there was ever a time to take advantage of knowing history, it's now. Because the thing is, in these "unprecedented times" there are precedents, and the precedent leans toward workers. During the Black Death, villages emptied, fields were left, and people migrated to find work that paid them better and offered a better way of life. Wages for lower-class workers rose drastically. In Oxfordshire; a plowman who had earned two shillings per week before the plague could command 10 shillings per week afterward. Pay rates for artisans increased, too. In Paris, wages for masons quadrupled between 1351 and 1355.

This isn't to say that the elites just let this happen, either. Laws were passed to limit wage increases, and threats were made, but the workers had economic bargaining power on their side. Labour was in such short supply that employers and landlords had to take what they could get. The people held out - and so can (and should!) YOU.

This was the start of peasant revolts, popular rebellions, and - ultimately, more labour protections, political representation for the lower classes, lower taxes, and an end to serfdom. People could afford to own their own land, the feudal system vanished, and eventually, the Renaissance would rise. In these unprecedented times, there is a precedent, and that precedent is that when workers know their worth, agitate for better and for more, when they hold out and unite, they force the elites to loosen the reigns, giving more power, autonomy, rights, and profits back into the hands of the workers, and with that freedom, society improves.

Know your worth. Know that you have bargaining power. Let's make this pandemic part of the precedent. <3

controversial opinion, but donating your old books to libraries isn't usually the universally charitable deed most people think it is. most public libraries don't have the space, staff, or budget to sort through used books in the off chance that one or two out of a hundred are in good enough condition to add to their collection.

it's always a good idea to call ahead and ask what, if any, materials the library might accept as a donation. you'd be surprised what they will and won't take! my library flat-out refuses encyclopedias and textbooks, which takes a lot of people by surprise. on the other hand, the same library is always accepting donations of jigsaw puzzles and used magazines! it doesn't hurt to ask.

if you have old books you don't want and need to get rid of, i suggest finding a used bookstore, a charity that specializes in distributing used books, or a local school and/or retirement community.

if you just want to support your local library, that's great! just... ask them what they need, instead of assuming. most libraries would be much happier to receive a crisp $20 bill than a boxload of dusty paperbacks.

at this hour of crisis our oh so trusted government is doing what it does the best— censoring anyone who has tried to be critical. our representatives, our politicians and our government has failed the citizens of india and is now scurrying to hide its tracks. More than 50 tweets and accounts have been censored by twitter, among which are some high profile personalities involved in the political scenario. You can read more about it here—

India is in the midst of a second wave of COVID-19 cases

figures are being hidden, and the government is trying to underplay the drastic situation at hand. so all i can ask of you rn is to spread the word, reblog the donation posts, DO NOT DONATE TO GOVT SET FUNDS. reach out in twitter too as if theres anything that m*di govt absolutely hates, it is defamation. this disaster could've been easily curbed yet here we are— people are dying and theres no way around it now.

this is my india. and this is your india too.

gothnotfound-deactivated2021072

to put things into perspective about what is happening rn— im a high school student who has been working tirelessly for the past two to three days by updating lists of plasma donors, setting up free meals, arranging ICU beds and oxygen as well as verifying and putting up leads, all of these with a group of teenagers who do not want the nation to die. We are doing the government's job at this point because we've been failed so bad.

Yet instead of support we've received actual threats of getting censored by the local police as well as representatives as we are making covid numbers and data public.

So please. Donate. Share. Amplify. Please dont let us get lost in censorship too

To all my followers who are citizens of the EU and of voting age, please consider signing and sharing this EU citizens' initiative requesting that the European Commission stop upholding intellectual property rights regarding COVID vaccines and treatments and make them a public good instead.

In order for the European Commission to read these proposals this initiative needs a lot more people signing that it has now, so every person counts.

emustelidae

For such an initiative to be considered by the EU-comission, it needs to reach at least 1 Million signatures + a certain threshold in at least 7 different member states. So far, only Belgium has met this second criterium. (As of 26th of April 2021)

There are still 839.639 signatures needed in total and the countries closest to reaching the threshold next are:

[(percentage of total achieved) - how many still necessary]

Italy (89,93%) - 5.397 signatures needed

Ireland (59,71%) - 3.693 signatures needed

France (59,61%) - 22.495 signatures needed

Spain (50,23%) - 20.701 signatures needed

Cyprus (38,89%) - 2.585 signatures needed

Netherlands (35,72%) - 13.143 signatures needed

Greece (23,49%) - 11.328 signatures needed

#I can't vote anymore ebecause of fucking brexit #But any eu ppl that follow me please vote #fuck brexit #eu rules #Eu #covid19 #vaccine

ryan-sometimes

COVID is slowly becoming a "third world" disease. While first world countries are hoarding vaccines, having doses for populations many times their size, third world countries can't get any because pharma companies want to sell to the first world countries first. Even then, first world countries will receive them first. While rich countries recover from COVID, they will forget about the pandemic while many other countries live the absolute worst moment of the pandemic without being able to vaccinate their population.

ryan-sometimes

Watch also when some first world countries finish vaccinating their populations, they will turn to third world countries and "donate" or sell surplus vaccines. People in these countries will go "Oh how sweet! The government is donating vaccines to the poorer countries <3" when it was their hoarding that led to many, many third world citizens dying before they could even get vaccinated in the first place.

comradesaucegay

african and latin american countries are also pushed by pfizer to give up sovereign assets as part of their vaccine agreement

thingsthatmakeyouacey

They’re not only hoarding and blackmailing, but the cherry on top is that the US, UK, Australia, most of Europe, Brazil et al. actually voted AGAINST waiving intellectual property agreements for the existing vaccines, something that India & South Africa proposed MONTHS ago to the World Trade Organization, and which most of the Global South voted yes to. So rather than letting countries manufacture these vaccines themselves, meaning they could have their own supply, they’re being kept, by multiple measures, beholden to the Global North for donations. The US voted multiple times to block this, before and after Biden’s inauguration.
