Jacob Blake is more than just “A Black man shot 7 times” he is more than a statistic, more than a number, more than a victim of police brutality. He is a father of beautiful children and we need to have more empathy while speaking about this, his babies had to WITNESS THIS. Black trauma continues to be brushed under the rug and everybody continues to try to make us try to justify it. While I am grateful to hear he is okay, that doesn’t mean I’m not angry. Don’t stop demanding for justice! BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER! Protests have been happening for THREE MONTHS NOW. But there are plenty of victims of police brutality who don’t get to say they survived. I truly hope the officers involved get charged for attempted murder.

Ment to post this two days go oops.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

i saw this on imgur and well, even if something like this is going around on tumblr already it is important.

Okay, but seriously:

Please Reblog, you might Save a Life.

We don’t understand exactly why some dogs seem capable of surviving grapes/raisins while others die despite immediate and aggressive interventions, but we do know that it’s not dose dependent like with most toxins. I.e. with chocolate we can do some math and say, “Ok Fluffy weighs X lbs and ate Y grams of [type of] chocolate, so therefore we recommend the following….” With grapes/raisins I’ve seen little dogs do fine after eating several and I’ve seen big dogs die from a single grape. There is NO WAY to predict which your dog so do not ever give them grapes/raisins. If they do get a raisin/grape, treat it as an absolute emergency and get them to the vet hospital ASAP.

A veterinary group I’m a part of was just bemoaning that every owner knows chocolate is bad for dogs, but it’s relatively rare for us to see a dog die from chocolate (usually it’s a lot of dark chocolate or baking cocoa that the dog ate). Whereas every vet has seen a dog die from grape/raisin toxicity and yet that isn’t considered common knowledge.

hiya! I figured id make an informational post about the little things ive noticed about being on testosterone that I found weren’t talked about a lot when I was starting my transition and even before when I was doing my research. I think that trans sexual health is an extremely important part of trans peoples lives (and that doesnt necessarily mean sex) seeing as the physical changes that happen during transition are often foreign to us. Sexual health keeps us healthy and comfortable in our bodies, so do your best to stay attentive to your body’s changes! As always, consult your doctor if you feel the need to. These are only tips ive learned from transitioning myself and from my doctor when I asked about certain things.

Bottom growth will be overly sensitive and stick out of the hood more than usual, and anytime the inside of ur jeans rubs against it it will a) hurt and b) make u horny.

This can be a problem in general, but especially if u have bottom dysphoria and being reminded of ur junk can make u dysphoric, and/or if ur ace like me and being horny can be a very confusing and annoying experience (I know this is not every aces experience but I had never really had a sex drive or arousal before T and it was very distressing at first. Still ace tho)

Also re: top surgery, the first time I saw my chest post-op my brain flipped and I got so dizzy I nearly passed out. This is also relatively normal and okay. I think my brain just kind of freaked out seeing my body so different from what we were used to and also oh yeah with a big scar running across it. Its okay, that doesn’t mean you regret it either. I think sometimes ur brain just needs a minute to catch up and realize ‘oh wait this isn’t a traumatic injury this is what my chest is supposed to look like’. Once I had seen my chest a few times and let my brain get used to it I was absolutely thrilled and loved it (and still do). I also had a panic attack the night before my surgery because I was afraid of the anesthesia. Again, doesnt mean I made the wrong decision.
