On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas.

Doctors decided he had "no quality of life" an was not worth spending the resources to save.

The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?

[description of image: a photo of Hickson, lying in a hospital bed and smiling for the camera /description]

Doctor: So as of right now, his quality of life -- he doesn't have much of one.

Melissa: What do you mean? Because he's paralyzed with a brain injury he doesn’t have quality of life?

Doctor: Correct.

--

Hickson was refused food or treatment for 6 days

In the YouTube video, the doctor can be heard saying "he will have lines and tubes coming out of his body... That's not quality-of-life"

I have tubes coming out of my body. I happen to like my life. Without those tubes I'd be dead

Our definition of quality is vastly different

So, when you see me repeatedly yelling about masks, paying attention to disabled people, and you don't understand why I tweet with passion, remember this.

I'm fighting to change culture that doesn't see disabled life as quality. many of us are afraid and rightly so.

LaBlaq @LoveAndShalom

Please, please, please don't sweep this under the rug. Your disabled friends are in danger.

We must unite and fight this!

disabled black lives matter too!!! I need able bodied ppl to make some noise about this!!!! learn your state, counties and local hospitals eugenist and racist polices, be active about trying to change them. this shit has been black & brown & disabled ppl before covid19

i know lots of other disabled ppl of color who know how unsafe and abusive the medical field is, we are given subpar care that could and has killed countless disabled black and brown folks, we are put on DNR’s (do not revive) against our wishes, we are told were liars and faking, we cant treat our disorders like adhd and chronic pain without medical staff think we are drug seeking

Mr. Hickson is a drop in the bucket of the systematic medical racism and ableism that kills us. now more than ever i need yall to be advocates for your disabled members of your community, Mrs. Hickson was her husbands voice in the hospital, and they took that away, covid cant be an excuse to rip disabled ppls advocates away 

Arizona is coming our with score cards to triage covid patients to decide who really should get medical treatment, older folks and ppl with pre existing conditions immediately placed into a lower rank of priority due to how long we may life after coronavirus. In the Uk and probably here too drs and nurses are ASSUMING disabled ppl automatically want DNR’s which is mad illegal. Wait times for treatment for poc and disabled ppl are longer than white and able folks, nurses have exposed that people of color are dying, disabled ppl are dying not just from covid but medical racist/ableist neglect from staff

Racism and ableism play a mixed up dance that kills us, via cops &or medical staff the same forces that killed Mr. Hickson is the same that killed Kayla Moore, a black disabled trans woman who died in police custody 

Charleena Lyles, a black mentally ill mother who was killed by police

Regis Korchinski-Paquet, black indigenous and mentally ill person who died durring a “wellness check”

Elija McClain, a black anemic person, who died bc of the cops and emts

Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Tanisha Anderson and so many more blk ppl killed by police violence are disabled

Do something!

Roman Ondak began with just a bare white canvas of walls. He was the first one to measure himself against the wall. The exhibit was then open to others who were also encouraged to add a piece of themselves to the artwork. He entitled it Measuring the Universe and soon the walls were covered in names of people with different heights and stories. An estimated 90,000 people have written their names to help contribute to the piece of growing and living art.

“I think it really does begin to make you think about ideas of space in the universal and the infinite in a really interesting way but it is also very, very personal and this sense of this kind of white void when the exhibition opened being slowly built by all of these points, these names and it is almost like a kind of constellation of stars.”

Always worth a reblog

Every single odd number has an “e” in it.

LISTEN-

Not all of them. 30 and 50 aren’t spelled with the letter e in it …

father god 

…if you can split a number in half evenly, it’s even. 30 and 50 are odd.

-_-’

(15+15=30

25+25=30)

25+25 = 30? You sure about that??

Lord have mercy….

Bye

3 days into 2018 smh

LMAOOOOOOO

One

Three

Five

Nine

And since everything else after that is a variant of these numbers, then all odds have the letter ‘E’.

🗣YOU FORGOT SEVEN!!

It keeps getting worse.

LMAOOO WHAT IS GOING ON

My head hurts…

This is why that Tumblr University shit was the dumbest idea ever just look at this

who failed yall?

IM SCREAMING

You whole ass forgot about eight - a number with an e and is pretty fucking even

why would 8 be brought up if it’s EVEN in a post about ODDS??????? the post said “every single ODD number has an ‘e’ in it” not “every single number with an ‘e’ is odd” what the fuck

3 days until 2019 and we’re still here

happy New year’s eve

I’m going to bring this flaming dumpster into 2019 so future generations can see what a mistake Tumblr was

Er, guys two is odd and doesn’t have an e. Just saying…

did you deadass just try to tell me two is odd? i’m fucking crying throw the whole website away

Reblogging for the last one😂

The one thing I notice is that no matter how much you want to throw this site away, you just can’t.

TWO IS ODD?!?! PFFFTT I’M SCREAMING

Wait what about zero that’s an odd number ,no?

ok but hear me out fifty and thirty make up for the fact they have no e by the way they are pronounces third-E fifth-E

bro why do 30 and 50 matter THEY’RE FUCKING EVEN

what the actual fuck is happening

1 is an even number

I’m gonna smack you

-30 and -50 have an e in them

Wait why are we so quick to throw away the Zero idea

Zero isn’t a number

It can’t be divided by two though, can it

It can??? 0/2=0??

OD NUMBERS

onE

thrEE

fivE

sEvEn

ninE

OD numbers huh?

Anything that ends with a 0,2,4,6,8 is even and the rest is odd (1,3,7,9) stop freaking out y’all

YOU FORGOT 5

DUDE WHAT ABOUT FOUR

What about it?????

THAT DOESN’T HAVE E IN IT

THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S EVEN?????

A R E Y O U G U Y S O K A Y

21 days away from 2020, folks.

Please tell me I can start the new freaking decade with a post arguing about something as stupid as this. Please. 🙏

This is art at its finest

one week to 2020 dudes

I’m so done

Im so upset that even with all the “zero is odd” “no it’s not” stuff no one bothered to point out… It doesn’t matter. Zero, 0, zEro

But zero isn’t odd. It’s fucking the lack of a number. It’s neutral. It’s empty. There’s nothing there

Zero is a number.

A definition of an even number is that it can be divided by 2 and the result is a whole number. Since you cannot divide zero, you cant divide it by 2 and that means that zero is an odd number.

zEro, onE, thrEE, fivE, sEvEn, ninE, ElEven, and then the suffix -teen and every other odd number in english contains the names of the numbers 1 to 9.

zero is not a goddamn odd number what. even i know that and i’m not good at math. also you can divide 0 by 2, it’s 0, you literally just divide it  and you just get 0 out oh my gosh. you can’t divide by zero but you can divide zero. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_zero

https://www.britannica.com/story/is-zero-an-even-or-an-odd-number

https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/zero-odd-even.html Quote from this one “ So, technically, [zero] is even. In fact, it is the most even number there is.”

also does anybody on here ever look anything up or? this is making my brain physically hurt. christ.

NO. NO FUCK YOU ALL WE ARE NOT BRINGING THIS SHIT INTO 2020. WHOEVER BROUGHT THIS BACK DID IT ON PURPOSE AND I WILL FUCKING HUNT YOU DOWN FOR SPORT FUCK YOU. FUCK THIS.

This post was an absolute train wreck and I’m cursing my followers with it

Damn you

“Anyone can do math, even gay people”

Bitch, are you sure???

This post is amazing. The Chaos is pleased.

Is this fucking number discourse

No but just out of all the things it’s about numbers

Just that it’s weird is all

The internet is weird, you should be used to that by now.

Yeah that’s true

At least the cum soup post was less weird than this

Uhh I’m sorry the what

Oh boy here we go again

How many times have I done this so far

I’ve done this like… three, maybe four times so far

Do you really want to know

You can turn back now

Please why did I have to see this post I had midterms today and my brain is already dead I don’t have enough brain cells for this

I had never seen this before today and I told my grandma about it and she’s shaking her head in both humor and disappointment. Good job everyone!

This is the longest post but yall forgot 6

And 1,3,5,7, and 9 are odd numbers. 5 is an honorary even number, but it is still odd.

This post should be illegal

Wait. How is 5 an honorary even number? There isn’t a damn even thing about it.

What about fractions guys?

If you bring fractions into this I swear to god I will yeet out this website

By popular demand (and also my own infatuation)…

I tried to do these gentlemen justice (in particular, to make Alex look as he’s described–with his dad’s Mexican American features and that chin dimple). No doubt they’ll change the more I draw them, but this was EXTREMELY FUN.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

Gonna try it. Need me some good luck.

Okay, hopefully that’s a good start <3

the OP of the screenshotted tweet is on tumblr, and an author too, having put out Chameleon Moon and related stories. 

I’m really relieved that both RoAnna and Heather’s books are linked on this post because if their tweets were going to be circulating around Tumblr with no way to indicate that Heather’s written a three-book (so far) fantasy series about magical lesbians and bi women in early 19th century Central Europe and RoAnna writes hopeful superhero dystopians that feature the only f/f/f triad MC’s I can think of in any book, that would have been hecking unfair.

@affablyevil, I hope that helps, but if you want more books, here’s a list I made a while ago of ten SFF f/f’s where they don’t die, and I am continually reading more and recommending more. (Have you heard of Flowers of Luna? College f/f set at fashion design college on the moon.)

[image description: a tweet from RoAnna Sylver (@RoAnna Syvler) reading “This June, please rememeber that there are more LGBT books than the ones you see everywhere put out by the Big 5, ad indies are amazing/worthy.” The next reblog is a tweet from Heather Rose Jones (@heatherrosejones) reading: “Making a list of queer SFF for Pride Month? Remember to look outside the mainstream presses. Don’t shut queer publishers out of queer lit.”]

Here’s a bunch of Goodreads lists that might help! 

Speculative Fiction (SFF and Horror):

And some more lists, including a whole history of LGBT SFF!

Also worth checking out is Queership!

Surnames are just as important as given names. So, I compiled a list of the websites I use to find my surnames.

For whoever needs these.

I NEED THE ITALIAN LAST NAMES SO BAD

We are like fireworks…: Surnames Master Post.

Chinese surnames

Indian surnames

Indonesian surnames

Pakistani surnames

Bengali surnames

Japanese surnames

Filipino surnames

Korean surnames

Syrian surnames

Mongolian naming and clan names

Thai surnames

Asia is not a single country.

Le Figaro have a newly published photograph from inside Notre Dame shortly before the roof collapsed, as molten lead fell into the nave. (+)

This is what I love about photojournalism. It is just a history of moments where human beings have gone “I know I should really be hauling ass out of here but I have to get a picture of this”

In terms of a sense of self preservation, photojournalists rank below extreme sports enthusiasts but above frat boys

Rowan

I need this.

Reblogged last year, hoping it comes this year

oh good

wow i love cards against humanity

thanksgiving is a holiday based on a falsified narrative full of white guilt and the erasure of history so what are some good native organizations to donate to this coming thursday

organizations recommended by @loneghostkid 

please also consider looking into funding native/tribal food sovereignty projects if you have food to donate or money to spare. friends, please add more if you know of them and have links to provide:

you can also buy food/gifts from indigenous sellers or donate to gofundme fundraisers made by indigenous people who need help getting groceries, paying medical bills, or paying rent. do something to help us and our communities.

No, Mike Pence got fucked by a horse. How else do you get the outside of a horse inside a man? 

Better?

Much. 

Amazing!

It’s beautiful how people with autism are typically so much more spatially advanced…my little cousin has memorized all the freeway systems in California and he’s like 9

From memory…. Let that sink in…I barely remember myself

WHAT omfg that’s so amazing!

Omg I watched this documentary years ago and I was just completely floored! This guy is beyond amazing! What no one mentioned is that this drawing is unbelievably accurate and proportionally to scale. He has the exact number of windows, floors, doors, etc on each building. And someone measured it and everything was to scale and geographically correct. On all of his drawings he has the exact number right even from just looking at a building for two minutes.

What’s even more amazing is that he used to be almost completely nonverbal and through his art he’s been able to become completely independent and self-sufficient and is now a successful artist who owns his own gallery where he sells his drawings and people come from all over to buy his art. He is fully verbal and communicative and most people who meet him don’t even realize that he has autism.

This dude is literally the coolest most incredible guy ever!

Oh and I forgot to add that he did this drawing in under five days (it might have even been three days but I can’t remember)!

Here are a few of his drawings

Like I said, this dude is fucking amazing.

@paintedcowboy

I had seen the top part of this post, but not the rest of his work.

Thank you.

Whoa, amazing

Reblogging because he’s awesome!!!

never seen the rest of it omg the London ones are gorgeous!

Absolutely stunning 🙌🏾😍

The fact that humans could even potentially take in this quantity of data and retain it breaks my brain, but that this living human can then make art out of it…. breathtaking.

i dont like love triangles not bc love triangles are inherently bad but bc im literally NEVER torn. im always like “i like this one” and thats That. its done. no more bullshit. but love triangles DEPEND on the bullshit of back and forth. so then whenever the writer is doing their tragic “maybe in another life” long winded emotional scene with the OTHER character im always just like…alright 

I’m so glad someone put this into words holy shit.

The first funny bitch was Cain, who straight up lied to God after killing his brother.

God: where’s Abel?

Cain: fuck if I know??? I’m not in charge of him

It is TRAGIC that you can’t read this in the original Hebrew.

God:  Where’s the Sheepkeeper?

Cain: Do I LOOK like a Brotherkeeper? 

God: hey where’s Abel???

Cain:

He killed his yonger brother in cold blood because he was jealous of him. There is in no way anything funny about this. No hesitation just poped a rock over his turned head, droped his body over the edged and tried to lie to god about what he did. FUCK YALL CRAZIES!!!

oh are those the receipts, Cain is problematic now?
