So apparently some Swiss company found out that Brazilian blood has more immunoglobulin (which is used in some medications made by pharma companies) than European blood, and now international pharma companies are lobbying to change Brazilian law to allow them to use our blood as a resource
There is no current evidence that those things are related, but it just so happens that at the same time there is also another law being discussed that would get rid of "bureaucracy" when it comes to ethics analyses of trials on humans. It would also remove the right, which all brazilians currently have, to access to the medication resulting from the trials they participated in
Both sources are in Portuguese because both news have been recently broke by a Brazilian investigative news agency, but if you don't speak it, you can always use automatic translation
I know there's a lot of fucked up shit happening in the world right now, but please pay attention to medical rights in Brasil right now. Especially if you're European, because virtually every company related to this is from your continent and plans to benefit you above all

This post was voted on by our Patreon.
The first version of this was posted in 2020, back in the very start of our page. It was an important primer then and it is again now.
In any good English 101 course, you are taught to define terms before writing the rest of your paper. Understanding how misinformation is spread through conflation, confusion, and intentional ambiguity is vital and necessary.
As we have, in the last months, been exploring Christian Zionism on our page, we've seen the comments run into issues of confusion on this very topic.

Anyway, because I'm already seeing conspiracy theories going around, Spotify Wrapped dropped today because it's Wednesday. Last year it dropped Nov. 30th. A Wednesday. December 1st 2021? A Wednesday. That's why it was the 29th this year. They drop it on Wednesday. You're welcome.

Real!
Yeah men with long hair are hot but are you normal about culturally specific gender presentations. Like are you respectful about men with culturally significant hairstyles or do you just want to fuck them. Do you think of long hair as intrinsically feminine. Are you normal about men of color

I talk often about the history of Jewish genocide in Muslim countries, because people only ever know about the European genocides against us. No one acknowledges the Jews who were killed in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, etc, or the horrific treatment that we endured. People need to know about them. But that does not mean that I think Muslims are our enemy, just as I don't think the Europeans killing us means Christianity is our enemy. Our enemy is antisemitism. Our enemy is extremism. Our enemy is disinformation. Too many people don't know the history of antisemitism so they can't recognize that the latest allegation against Jews is a 2,000 year old conspiracy theory rebranded.

I feel like this should go without saying, but: Non-Muslims and Non-Jews can and should reblog posts about the upticks in antisemitism and islamophobia and how scared Jewish ppl and Muslim ppl are right now. If nothing else, it's an easy thing to do to spread awareness. But it also signals "hey, I'm listening, I promise" which is not something any of us are confident any of y'all are doing.

(x)dr alan j hart was the first documented transsexual male in the usa. born in 1890, his mother wrote about how he had a “desire to be a boy” from a young age and he was the first trans man to get a hysterectomy in 1917. he was a researcher into tuberculosis and wrote novels as well. he invented technology that we still use today and saved countless lives. he is not the first trans man in america, but he is the first documented transsexual. he died in 1962 of a heart falure.
in the 1980s and 90s when many tried to reclaim him as a butch/femme lesbian figure, one trans activist said, “He was transsexual or, at least, a transgenderist - a true pioneer. One who is seen as a hero by today's transsexual community. Please don't let him be taken away from us by allowing his old name to be used as though it were a badge of honor.”

Happy Thanks-taking from a Tumblr-ing indigenous person.
Wliwni! (Pronounced "oowle-oowne") / Thanks!
- Marlon
Today, many may be getting ready to sit down to a feast with their families in celebration of what’s commonly called “Thanksgiving”. Before you do so, take some time to think about the real significance behind this day and the histories that have been buried deep from view. Learn about National Day of Mourning and why this day is treated much differently among First Nations peoples. For many, this day marked the beginning of a long, horrific, still-ongoing history of violence. Talk to your family members about what truly occurred this day and what it means to the Native people of these lands. Find out what Indigenous lands you’re currently on and the ways you can help to support, uplift, and amplify the First Nations people in your area. Wishing everyone a meaningful National Day of Mourning.
Note: while the term “Indian” is used by Wamsutta James in his quoted speech, and some Nations use it to refer to themselves, it’s best to refer to Native people as Indigenous, Native, or First Nations out of respect (especially if you’re not Indigenous yourself).

When I was working in ochem research this summer I made $12.25 USD per hour, paid to a maximum of 38 hours per week. I had no benefits whatsoever. I'm in undergrad, but graduate students were making $12.38 USD per hour, to the same maximum of 38 hours per week. Post-docs were making about the same as graduate students.
We are unionizing but the University does not want to pay researchers a liveable wage. The only researchers making phat cash are employed by large corporations, btw, and the phat cash in question is $60,000/yr in my area.

This is a fucking new one

The looseness with which people are called horrible on this website is actively harmful to people with OCD
Like, I promise nobody is a horrible person (or bad in any capacity) for not reblogging your random anglospheric white ass's 97th post about Palestine that provided nothing unique or productive at all to the conversation and was just more screaming about how everyone is awful and no one is doing anything to help
