But then I see a trailer for a movie STARRING Mark Wahlberg, you know, the A list actor who committed two hate crimes (that we know of) against black children and Vietnamese men in the 80s. And I will not let it slide because he was young, I knew even as a child and a teenager that that shit was wrong despite being raised in a racist, right wing household. There's absolutely no fucking excuse. So where is the outcry? Where is the boycott? Why is he still getting starring roles after being confirmed a violent racist for decades?

"All I want for Christmas is to end capitalism"

On Thursday, Keke Palmer filed a temporary restraining order against her former partner Darius Jackson and requested sole custody of their 8-month-old son, Leodis. The filing, viewed by People, is rife with accusations against Jackson. Palmer alleges that on Sunday, “Darius trespassed into my home without my knowledge or consent, threatened me, then physically attacked me—lunging for my neck, striking me, throwing me over the couch, and stealing my phone when I told him I was going to call the police.”  The incident began when Jackson, a former college football player and current fitness instructor, came over to take their child to a football game, but discovered the baby was with Palmer’s sister visiting family. They argued, and Jackson allegedly “knocked me backwards over the couch, stole my phone out of my hands, and then ran out of the house.” This, the filing states, was captured on Palmer’s home security system and will be played in court during a hearing. When Palmer went outside to get the phone Jackson “nearly hit me with his car.” The Los Angeles County judge granted a temporary restraining order, which says that Jackson must stay 100 yards away from both the actress and their son. She was also granted temporary sole custody, according to People.

As part of the Better Future Program’s (@bfpnola's) Indigenous liberation theme for this volunteer term, I’m asking for some help with BFP’s Health Library. The Health Library is a collection of resources for international health education and care that we aim to make freely accessible. From November 2023 to January 2024, I’m going to focus on gathering resources for Indigenous health.

As an international organisation, Indigenous liberation covers a range of interconnected issues and diverse communities and experiences. Some focus areas this term include:

providing care in Palestine and during the Palestinian genocide;

the australian Aboriginal healthcare gap;

Indigenous access to healthcare internationally, including in: - the USA & Canada; - the Congo; and - Sudan.

If you have any resources you would like to see added to the Health Library, you can:

DM me;

@ me in BFP’s Discord server, which you can join here; or

Email me through the contact form.

good for u that turning off the lights and lighting a scented candle instead and listening to music or put on a show and using a bath bomb etc etc helps u but like none of those tips are that beneficial for physically disabled ppl specifically.

grab bars or shower chair as ^^^ said

sponge bath or wipes for a quick clean

dry shampoo

sit in the shower

make sure the water isn't too hot, especially my POTS folks! Temp changes make us pass out, reduce your risk of fainting or getting dizzy and nauseous pls

lay down immediately after ur done showering, seriously

no don't get dressed first, give yourself a lil bit

if you NEED to get dressed immediately, do so sitting or laying down in bed

Compression socks after are a GODSEND

This one's also aimed towards POTS folks, have a gatorade or liquid iv ready to down the second you're out

clean bottom to top, because chances are ur energy to bend down will be higher at the start of your shower

for my ppl with inflammation, don't discount epsom salt baths. they're not for everyone but i find them quite nice

for ppl who live with other ppl that they completely trust, and who are afraid they may fall: You don't have to have someone in the bathroom with you, but talk about leaving the door unlocked so they can get to you in an emergency, and let them know when ur in and out of the shower too

my fellow ehlers danlos ppl, the hot water WILL relax your muscles and that WILL result in a higher chance of dislocations during and after showering. Have all available braces at the READY and be extra careful pls

KT tape ppl, take your tape off in the shower or with baby oil. do NOT just peel it off dry skin for the love of GOD

how fucking dare you use our oppression as a knife against our siblings being slaughtered. how fucking opportunistic and assimilationist to spit out the homonationalist pinkwashing directly from brand israel who absolutely oppresses their own queer population with no marriage equality but uses 'gay rights' as a cudgel for genocide justification.

Remember how they bombed hospitals, mosques, churches, schools, refugee camps and houses. Remember the families who survived the first bombing in their house, only to get killed in a hospital or a camp. Remember how their defense minister called us Human Animals, our children children of the dark. Remember how the USA and Israel are testing weapons on the people of gaza. Things we've never seen before.

Remember the babies who survived the bombing while their entire family got killed. Who will tell these children their names? They experienced trauma that they don't even have the language to describe it.

Remember that we watched a genocide live, before they start changing the narrative. Remember that when this is marked in history, you were on what side. Remember the "never again" in the holocaust and Rwanda and and, but the "again and again" in gaza until everybody is dead in the most gruesome way.
