Sin Squad :)

When I was in Hawai’i we got to dissect an albatross bolus and what it’s supposed to be full of is this:

Those are squid beaks, the albatross’ natural prey. The bolus is supposed to be full of them. Ours had a small amount but…

But this is what ours mostly contained:

That big black thing in the left picture? That’s a fucking pocket knife handle.

Tell me, in what world, in what universe is this ok??? This is so fucking tragic.

It’s only getting worse every year.

Please, please, please, please be mindful of where you put your trash. Pick up any trash you see. Avoid using single-use plastics as much as possible. Do your part.

And the industry making the plastic products are the biggest polluter. The answer is not buying plastic products. That way you don’t support the plastic industry with your dollar, you’re not contributing to the waste that the industry creates, and your plastic won’t end up in the ocean because you don’t have it in the first place.

YOU NEED TO ASPIRATE BEFORE INJECTING.

I’ve known many individuals who were never told by medical professionals to aspirate, which is unacceptable on behalf of endocrinology. This is an extremely important step because if you accidentally inject into a vein, you can literally die.

“I’ve never aspirated and I’ve been fine” until you’re not.  “My doctor never told me to aspirate” because trans healthcare has yet to be standardized and is a work in progress. “The area I inject in has little to no blood vessels” but there are so many people who don’t know which areas are safest and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How To Aspirate: Stick yourself with the needle and then draw back on the syringe. If your syringe fills with blood, you need to reposition your needle. If it doesn’t fill with blood, you’re safe to inject there.

Signs that you’ve injected into a vein: — Stroke — Shortness of breath — Coughing — Chest and/or abdominal pain — Low Oxygen — Blood clots — Slurred speech — Headache — Swelling — Tenderness

Literally just aspirate because it takes 2 seconds and can save your life.

From a surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher:

Please pause for 2 minutes and read this:

1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated.

3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up in to your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

4. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far.

5. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

6. HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE? Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

7. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

8. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.

9. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!

10. A cardiologist says If everyone who gets this mail kindly sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we’ll save at least one life.

11. Rather than sending jokes, please... contribute by forwarding this mail which can save a person’s life.

12. If this message comes around you... more than once… please don’t get irritated... You should instead, be happy that you have many friends who care about you & keeps reminding you how to deal with a Heart attack.

Vanoss: stop stressing me out! It’s bad for the baby.

Terroriser: baby?!!??! what baby?

I‘M STUCK IN A TREE

⚠️ I am interrupting this hiatus to make an announcement ⚠️

Me and my 2 team members are developing an isometric virtual chat world called Lunarstray were you can adopt a fox 🦊 and experience a pixelated environment, wear cute hats, level up and more!

We recently launched our website with lots of details and I worked really hard to make it as good as possible. It would mean a lot to me (and us) if you could spare a minute and check it out!! We are currently in the need of support via Patreon to make it happen.
