The WHO has been literally begging rich countries for months to stop giving booster doses to healthy people. But because the pandemic can continue to spread unabated in much of the world, more and more vaccine-resistant variants are popping up. And the tragic fucking cycle continues

It’s snappy and fun to say ‘get vaxxed!’ but along with your asshole cousin or whatever, please hold Joe Fucking Biden accountable

i have commissions open to write fic and make carrds, i can help with editing essays and writing as well, you can purchase from my depop, or you can donate straight to my paypal if that works better for you!

I'm three months behind in rent because my cat's hospital visits and surgery cost over $5k

I’m embarrassed since I posted this in a depressive episode but it’s nice to know how many people care 

I’ve been getting messages about donation links so here they are:

Ko-fi 

Also don't donate if you feel like you owe me for using my dts memes. It's sweet but the donations are to help with rent and feed my cat. I made a more professional post about our living situation but this vent post is the one that ended up blowing up.

I'm back to doing commissions and my roommate who lost their job recently is also drawing for money so check them out at @mberchrome!

what can be proven is that in no situation under united states law is an individual legally obligated to lend their body or organs for the sake of another life. 

4.5 million people each year are in need of blood transfusion, the entire process of donating blood takes a little over an hour, it’s free, and a single pint of blood can save up to 3 peoples lives, but there is no legal obligation or requirement to donate blood in place. 

it is illegal to take organs from deceased peoples’ bodies without permission. CORPSES. bodily integrity is prioritized by law, even after death.

it doesn’t fucking matter whether a fetus is a person, whether a fetus is alive, whether a fetus has a soul. it literally doesn’t matter. pro-lifers set up the argument through that lens (hence their name) to evoke empathy and pity and take the focus away from the actual process of pregnancy, which changes a person’s body FOREVER. that is not an exaggeration. whether the pregnancy is complicated and high-risk or totally smooth sailing, the birthing person will physically never be the same. if they’re lucky, they’ll come out of it with weight gain, differently shaped breasts, and changes to the cervix/vagina. if they aren’t, there’s a fucking laundry list of potential complications that could arise, that may eventually fix themselves, need surgical or therapeutic intervention, or never go away, like varicose veins, separation of the abdominal muscles, incontinence, prolapse, diabetes, postpartum depression, and chronic pain, just off the top of my head. and this makes no mention of the very real possibility of income disruption, as well as the financial cost of giving birth, and the chance of fucking death, which is even higher for underserved communities like black women.
