it’s like after ballet class when you just put on a zip up and uggs for the car ride home but then your mom makes you stop at Safeway on the way
My grandmother, Margaret “Peggy” Anderson Gordon, left us this morning during the eclipse at 11:06am. She died of Covid19, which she contracted from the emergency room. She went to the ER after a fall, and there were no mask mandates in the hospital to protect her.
My grandmother died a preventable death after spending the better part of the last 4 years isolated, struggling with dementia. I wanted so so much better for her.

The dude is a slumlord, owns some real estate management company that keeps getting fined by the city for making tenants live in unsafe conditions.
My grandmother was a woman who lived through a lot. She and I became so close in my adulthood, and I know that she loved me so deeply. I feel enveloped my by her love even now.
My grandmother affirmed and supported my queerness, my creativity, my radical political ideas, and never once made me feel like I was a dissapointment.

I think this also illustrates that more people are in the throes of deep depression and burnout even if they can’t articulate it as such. I was in a multi year depressive episode and it sucked the life out of me and made it hard to even respond to my closest friends and family.
My grandmother was an educator who became an administrator, and then in her retirement dedicated her life to the DeYoung Museum where she was a docent. The time she spent in the Museum were the happiest and most joyful years of her life. She encouraged my creativity until the end

The only real goal is to be happy together. You make your own rules, together. And when you both inevitably grow and change, together you can rewrite the rules again.

@iproposethis
I found that as a teen I saw it so clearly, but as you age and social pressures mount and suddenly you’re the only one not following the formula everyone else is convinced is the recipe for happiness you can feel like maybe you’re missing the boat on something

People tend to talk much more loudly on the phone because one or both ears are covered by the phone itself or headphones. It’s also very annoying if you’re in an enclosed space where people are mostly being quiet to impose yourself and be noisy.
@StarNosedMoles
On average it takes less than 2 weeks of living on the street for someone to turn to substances. Yet those who have never experienced street based homelessness pass harsh judgement on people who are using.
Thank you to the voters for passing Prop F to bring more treatment and accountability to San Francisco.
This is how we get more people the help they need and change what’s happening in our City.
Posting before and after pictures in celebration of weightloss is inherently performing and reinforcing fatphobia. This is not a hot take, it is a fact. Have a blessed day!
@NohaAboelataMD
No kidding— I work at UC$F in the medical school and am immunocompromised and we no longer have mask mandates, a daily health screener, OR accessible PCR testing. When brought to DEI committee, an MD used the phrase “my body my choice” regarding mask wearing policy 🤦🏼♀️

She wasn’t as thin as other pop stars of the era, so they branded her as fat even though she was actually just average sized. Jennifer Lawrence had a similar branding around that time. It pissed me off because neither of them were actually fat. The only fat pop icon was Adele
@haziethompson
If someone is masking on mass transit, that is contributing to public good. If they get off the bus and walk into the bar unmasked etc and then put the mask on to get back on the bus home, they are still protecting the folks on the bus who might not have any other transit option

There is also nothing wrong or antifeminist about liking the color pink. I didn’t allow myself to wear pink for years because I bought into and internalized the misogynist assertion that wearing pink was somehow setting women back? News flash, it’s not!
@JulsBudau
Lost a former partner to overdose in BC. It’s a cruel cycle where the shame and cruelty addicts face drives them deeper into their addiction. I often say shame and stigma killed him, the drugs were just the weapon. I am sorry for your loss, Travis sounds like he was a good guy.

I honestly feel like there is way more space in the queer community for fat masc folks than for fat femmes!! It is really hard out here as a fat femme in the lesbian community where I’m at because it’s a lot of normative body standards

Everyone can always be better. But you can’t always just be consistent w/ sleep hygiene, exercise, diet, share fellowship w/ community, and meditate your way out of every depression, especially if there was a trauma

Two things can be true at once! She was a victim and then perpetuated harm herself. Andy Cohen asked if the Kardashian’s felt they contributed to an unhealthy beauty standard and every last one of them said not only no, but that they resented the question. No accountability
@dustindrury
When this happens to me I snap back immediately “that’s not a very nice way to speak to a young woman battling cancer” and then watch their eyes fall out of their skulls. I have other chronic diseases that don’t roll off the tongue as well so I just stick them with the big C

Why is everyone in the replies so averse to the people asking their elected leaders to do better in the future? Stop making excuses for her past, and instead hold her accountable to being better. She’s already got the vote, tf y’all worried about criticism for?

One is being afraid to have the wrong opinion vs holding compassion for everyone’s experience while still recognizing what the quantifiable realities of the situation are

You shouldn’t mix your sunscreen with any additional products, instead layer them. Sunscreen works by forming a barrier screen on the skin and mixing it with other products before applying will disrupt that

My friend went to a predominately white christian private college (in California even!) where people literally had this saying “ring by spring” like everyone had to be engaged by spring semester of senior year. Glad that wasn’t my experience at a big west coast public school

With my ballerina bun and my ripped-up, fleshy pink tights looking like a giant pantsless baby coming down aisle 3, avoiding eye contact like my life depended on it
@latiotdoc
But how is that different from any popstar who is similarly showcasing their body? Nobody says a word when Doja, Ariana, Halsey, Meg etc are putting it all out there, and they do just as often as Lizzo. Some models on IG don’t do anything except be naked, but not a word about it.
@plagueprose
I’m more susceptible to Covid than average and we don’t know why. My hospital system got me entered me into a couple of studies, so hopefully we know why eventually. But I do have a theory that the cannabis has prevented me from developing MCAS as a long covid sequelae..
@WrittenByHanna
Some people are just selfish and flakey! but if they used to be a responsive friend and now are not… maybe depression has entered the chat
@haziethompson
I’m disabled and I can choose whether or not to go into a bar or a concert, but I have less options to avoid transit/grocery store/pharmacy. I would appreciate if people would mask in these shared spaces even if they don’t mask perfectly elsewhere.

An asthma attack might be the only time an abusive parent brings their child to see a practitioner. A few minutes alone for a child to answer a few questions, not even have a physical examination, shouldn’t send an alarm bell to any parent who doesn’t have anything to hide.

Honestly a lot better than the kids who did drugs for the first time in college. By time I got to college I was jaded with partying and was a good student lol

I’m just staff at another UC but I have a few close faculty friends, and they have described the way their fellow faculty have no sympathy for the strike and are ultimately planning on failing their grad students who are striking for not completing course work.
I’m very excited about this little workaround I found for when I’m out and about socializing in a noisy setting while wearing an N95 mask to protect me from Covid!!! Please furthermore address me as Actual Pop Star Fatsy Cline 💫🎤😷

When you bring this up directly they use the excuse of “oh well people’s experience varies, for some it’s horrible for others it’s mild!” as if that is a valid reason to withhold pain management? I had to insist repeatedly to get a single Valium + Vicodin for a recent biopsy.
@tarotcat
@gemcarey
I think Gemma’s point is that ME/CFS can result from covid, and that it’s worth protecting yourself from covid as a preventative measure.
I do live here, a block from the park. I’m not bothered by teens skating down the hill during their summer vacation. I am pissed at riotous cops blocking every street in the neighborhood so they can chase, detain, and hold a bunch of kids for hours in the middle of the street!
Our officers did their jobs & did them with restraint. Why do some make excuses for this dangerous and selfish behavior? Nothing stopped this group from getting permits, and no one forced them to hold a neighborhood hostage. How would you feel if you lived here?
@KatashleyHorton
@jkk7s7
If that doesn’t apply to your family, great. Maybe say a prayer when you step out of the room for the kids who need that moment of safety, then go back in and have gratitude that you know your child is safe.

Gastric ailments are under treated and underdiagnosed because it’s another ailment that largely effects women. Women have non-menstrual gastric pain/illnesses at rates 6x higher than men.

For kids who are being abused, there are usually very few opportunities to seek help. If it is standard practice for every hospital to ask a few questions while the parents step outside, we allow these kids a window to a better outcome. Denying kids that enables abuse.

The fact that you would find the image of a child feeding from a breast a disturbing sight demonstrates exactly why this campaign is important! Because we as a society shouldn’t be deterred, disgusted, distracted etc by this incredibly natural function!

Most tourism in Hawaii directly benefits a few rich hotel corporations, who pay poverty level wages to the native Hawaiians and locals who live there. There are other places with beaches and palm trees in the US where subjugated indigenous populations aren’t begging you not to go
This is a direct attack on Dr. Rupa Marya and maliciously positions her as a bigot. UCSF has time to target one single employee, but is silent on the humanitarian + health crisis in Gaza. Really brings to question the integrity of UCSF and their supposed PRIDE values.

Lots of northern Indigenous cultures rely on whale for survival, often using all parts of the animal. Im not advocating for having whale filets in the grocery store, but we should be respectful of others cultural practices
This is why we will never see a revolution in our life time, because we have fucking 0 working class solidarity. This woman is describing how many in the US are struggling, and she’s dunked on by other people who are also financially struggling.
I’m confused. She said she paid all her bills and still has 2-300 left over. But claims she’s living WORSE than paycheck to paycheck? Does she know what that phrase means? I’m convinced a large swath of white Americans believe they’re poor when they’re actually comfortably middle

I think his focus on income is merely reflective of the world we currently live in. His job is in tech, which is a sector facing huge layoffs, and supporting a household of 4 is stressful even if you have incredible job security.
