JUST NOW: the reports of what cops around the country are doing to students is fucking disturbing. a comrade with pots (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) at arizona state university went into syncope during the police raid of their encampment. street medics attempted to administer aid/keep her safe and were arrested, police then proceeded to ARREST THE GIRL WITH POTS WHILE SHE WAS BARELY FUCKING CONSCIOUS

History of Step

What is Stepping?

What is Step?

Stepping or step dancing is “a percussive dance in which the participant’s body is used to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand-claps,” writes the African American Registry.

Step has its origins in Africa, as dancing has been a large part of traditional African culture for centuries.

Calling Step a "bizarre silent dance without music" has to be one of the wilder antiblack racist descriptions I've ever heard of stepping lmao. Anyway if you see the video, it's step!!! They're stepping!! It's a Black American form of dance!!

Are people saying talking about transphobia 101 is transphobic now. Is stating “trans people aren’t treated as their gender by society but instead as something other.” Transphobic now? Is that what the popular bloggers™ are saying now

We had someone come in with a cat with a history of urinary blockages... Having told reception the cat was currently dribbling urine.

They are 10 minutes late. We tell him we may not be able do all wanted testing but would do most urgent (because at this point we thought we'd need to do a urinalysis and cysto to get said urine, alongside bw to prescribe some kind of anti-anxiety med and all that) I go in to get a history, VERBALLY ask him if the cat is currently dribbling urine, get told yes.

...When the doctor comes in the owner says 'oh no the ER doctor unplugged him on Saturday, it just keeps happening, so I really want to do more to prevent it'.

No records of said unplugging BTW because when he brought the cat to ER, they took the cat back to examine and while palpating his abdomen he Unblocked Himself.

client call

client : doctor, my cat won’t eat after i feed her the pills. Can i stop giving her pills?

me: the prescribed pills don’t have such side effects. it’s only one day left, i suggest that you keep giving her until tomorrow. However if she’s having bad appetite i suggest you bring her in for further examinations

client: but she has good appetite! she’s eating normally!

me:…

You know what's really telling? I got 3 Israel ads in a row and all 3 had the exact same cadance, propaganda strategies, and attitude as right wing grifter ads. Like, they literally copied the Right Wing 'Change My Mind' guy in one of them.

If you want people to support you, maybe don't use the marketing strategies of 'I swear we're not nazis, whites are just better!'

Why do so many in vet med 'hate' doodles?

Me: Ugh, doodles

askbox: *inundated* WHAT IS WRONG WITH DOODLES?????

Me: Mistakes were made! Mayday, Mayday!

But seriously, there's a lot of factors as to why so many people in vet med have an incredible dislike of doodles. I could probably write a 10 page essay but I'm going to try to keep this short.

1- They are 'trendy', and thus come with all the problems that come along with that. Backyard breeders, unethical breeders, any doodle breeder who calls their doodles either 'purebred', 'akc registered', or uses the phrase "you get the best of both breeds" is a goddamned lying liarface... these dogs are bred purely to make money. There's rarely any health testing, almost never temperament testing. It's 'make a fluffy puppy with a cutesy name' and people are DRAWN to cute. I watched many people adopt *huskies* from the shelter because "They're so cute!" NO. BAD.

2- People are rarely prepared to handle the traits of either/any of the breeds that go into doodles, especially those mixed with working-type dogs. The number of labra- and goldendoodle owners who don't understand why their dog is always eating things is aggravating. It's because they're labs/goldens! They eat shit! It's what those breeds just DO. Most doodle owners do no research into the parent breeds at all. This means they are also unprepared for the health problems that can crop up from the parent breeds.

3- People see breeders calling these "Great family pets" and then ... don't fucking socialize or train them so now, as vet staff, we are faced with sometimes 90+ pound dogs that can't sit on command, are jumping all over us, mouthing us, or pissing themselves in terror and wanting to bite our faces off because they're so afraid of strangers. This is not the dogs' faults but it doesn't make us like them either.

4- This seems to be a bit less of an issue now, or at least less of an issue where I am, but a lot of people don't... groom them? Some breeders even specifically say to not get them seen at the groomer before they're a year old???? And people hear "non-shedding" (potentially A LIE) and then... don't.... brush them? So then they turn into a solid felted mat and they become a groomer's behaviour-nightmare-shear-it-like-a-sheep-"What do you mean you couldn't leave the hair long?!?!?!?"

5- Oh gods, the ENDLESS EAR INFECTIONS AND ALLERGIES AND GI ISSUES

So yeah, that's the quick and dirty on why "ugh, doodles"... at least it's a little shorter than a why "UGH, frenchies" would be

Remember when people got mad at me when I said “if you can’t even name 10 trans men activists from the 1980s-2010s I don’t think any of your takes about trans men and our experiences have any value imo. Especially if you aren’t a trans man.” And then people got mad at me?? Like damn sorry I expect people to know a little history before they talk about a group of people .

I hate how the trans man and transmasc tags are almost unusable now bc bots stealing images of transfem sex workers are just all over all the trans tags.

taylor swift’s work wouldn’t be nearly as insufferable if she wasn’t constantly trying to present herself as some sort of tortured underdog. like, okay, she has endured hardships, and a lot of people, especially white men, are shitty towards her for purely misogynistic reasons. that sucks, i agree. but she’s never been an underdog before. she was born to well-off parents who did everything they could to start her music career when she was barely even a teenager, an opportunity that lots of people would kill for. now she’s extremely famous and wealthy, and everything she releases is destined to sell millions of copies and receive glowing reviews in nearly every publication. she is not an underdog, and i have trouble believing she’s particularly “tortured.” she’s not even an alcoholic, despite claiming to be one on the opening track of her new album! people like to defend her lyrics by saying she’s just playing a character, which i don’t believe for a second, but even if she was, i don’t think i want to listen to someone like swift play the character of a tortured underdog, not when there’s so many musicians out there who are actually tortured underdogs. it comes across as hollow. “you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me,” sung by one of the wealthiest, most famous, most critically acclaimed musicians in the world, who was born to loving parents who personally helped her start her career, who once said she’d never been to therapy because she “just feels very sane.” if you’re going to play a character, maybe pick one who we’re not supposed to pity.

I can’t get over this lmaooo

You know it’s really fucking annoying how cis women will say shit like ‘afab solidarity’ but then turn around and say ‘I dont care if trans men get denied medical care and die, the term person with a uterus makes me uncomfortable.’ . They use ‘afab solidarity’ as a thin screen to hide their transphobia + transmisogyny.

They use the suffering of trans men as a stick to beat trans women with. Either as a way to say trans women ‘arent actually suffering’ or to blame trans women for the suffering and deaths of trans men.

Cis women engage in and encourage the death of trans men and then blame those deaths on trans women.

do you ever say something and then think "wow this isnt even a bit. im just like this"
