Lydz's Personal Teminal

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you've seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn't feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there's a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people's kidneys, meaning we're less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren't getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you've requested, say to them the following:

If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.

I NEED THEM ALL SO BADLY 

Taken from the wild at a very early age or born into captivity, the Domestic Mimic shares many traits with their wild cousins but differs in a few key ways:

Unlike their solitary untamed counterparts, Domestic Mimics have pack-bonded with their humanoid companions to the point that, even when released, they no longer thrive alone. They will seek out companionship or become distressed if left without company.

Domestic Mimics habitually take on a preferred inanimate form, usually one that allows closer bonding with their pack-mates by imitating humanoid facial features. This can either be achieved by resembling dolls or stuffed animals or by adding humanoid features to otherwise featureless objects; for example cartoonish eyes, mouths and limbs. Whilst many find this offputting, advocates of the Domesticated Mimic argue that it is cute.

Though naturally silent creatures, Domestic Mimics can learn responses to several command words or gestures and take to training well due to their curious nature. It is important to set boundaries for your Mimic early on in your relationship to avoid behavioural problems down the line.

Domestic Mimics tend to have a friendly and easygoing temperament, seeking affection and to please their pack mates, making them good family pets. Their relaxed demeanour can lead to laziness and handlers are reminded to exercise their Mimics every day to avoid health problems.

But also y’all realise there’s so many more shenanigans you can use this for when you remember Mimics don’t just have to be treasure chests:
