this is not medically relevant

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 HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

Algorithm hides posts that use the "S word."

Microblogging site where posts have a character limit

Writing an article that mentions it over a dozen times; you spell it out the first time and use the acronym after that

Conversation by text (IM, whatsapp, discord, whatever) and it's faster not to type out the full words

The app you're in censors the actual words and replaces them with something else (like Steam's **** for what it thinks is profanity)

Unbeknownst to many, cartooning is one of the most dangerous jobs out there.

Forget wading in sewage, or repelling off a mountain, or welding a bridge pillar underwater: try spending one day with us down in the cold, dark, joke mines... Watch us wrestle with filthy punchlines. Wash our hands from the soot and grime we've collected by tireless hours of drawing.

Dry our tears when we've given up all hope of ever seeing the sky again!

But we're happy to do it. We'd do anything for a joke.

A collection, for a well loved garf

Its on the cloud!

Check out my WEBTOON:

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.
