However much we may want to, just pretending that JKR didn’t write Harry Potter isn’t enough, actually it’s actively harmful.

We can’t just slap Daniel Radcliffe or Starkid’s name onto the books and say “Problem fixed!”

You have to actively acknowledge that JKR wrote her bigotry into her books. @accio has a post somewhere that talked what I mean but now I can’t find it to link it, but it probably wouldn’t be hard to find on their blog.

The point is, pretending Rowling didn’t write Harry Potter is also pretending that Harry Potter isn’t problematic at all. And it is. Many of us grew up reading Harry Potter and seeing Rowling as a personal hero (me included) but part of becoming an adult is recognizing the faults in what you loved as a kid. You don’t get to live in ignorance anymore.

Tired: continuing to use the names that were chosen by white imperialists

Wired: using the names that not only sound neat as fuck but were also the original names chosen by the people who lived there

we need to change the part of the history where yt ppl are given credit for “discovering” things that were never lost and were known by the indigenous ppl in the first place 

also they need to change the name officially 👌🏾

It's suddenly clear to me that I have been living my life wrong

[smiles-and-stuff]

In Star Trek: Enterprise, season 1 episode 8 (Breaking the Ice) Trip has a collection of drawings sent by his nephew’s class. Since there’s no way that the physical versions of the drawings got to Enterprise, they must have been scanned and sent digitally. Trip had a physical copy of them. This implies that somewhere on Enterprise, somewhere, they have a printer.

Some extra tips from somebody who is trained and practiced in first aid:

Bleeding:

- if somebody has bled through the first dressing, don’t take that dressing off, apply another one over top, maintaining direct pressure.

-When applying a tourniquet, document the time it was applied. Medical professionals need to know this.

-it is possible to make your own tourniquet, I know you’ve seen people do it on tv, a commercial tourniquet is always better.

- to check if you’ve applied a tourniquet tightly enough, feel for a pulse below the tourniquet (closer to the wound) if you can feel one, it’s too loose, tighten it.

-never apply a tourniquet over a joint, it won’t be effective, if a joint is 2-3 inches closer to the torso, apply the tourniquet above the joint.

Something that wasn’t mentioned here, but I see people talk about incorrectly all the time: Poisons (including overdoses)

- determine what they ate/drank/etc

- call poison control. Call EMS if they’re consciousness is altered or they appear suicidal.

- DO NOT induce vomiting or give them anything to drink under any circumstances. The person at poison control will tell you what to do based on what they consumed.

Finally. For anything and everything, download the Red Cross first aid app now. It’s easy to bring up when you need it, and it will provide you with step by step instructions for whatever first aid situation you may have. It’s easy to use, and will even make it easy for you to contact EMS if the emergency requires it.
