As David Cameron steps down, it’s time to celebrate his legacy.
Photo by #WheelchairAccessibleThis is mass murder of disabled people by the UK government.
You don’t need a gun to kill someone when you can simply deny them the resources they need to live.
This is structural violence
Pushing someone into traffic knowing what will happen is murder. So us pushing someone who you KNOW can’t work back to work to save money.

Think Anorexia is funny? Sorry. I am a survivor and find NOTHING cute about this.
Wanna dress up like an Anorexic? All it takes is:
- 4 years of hospitalization
- A nasogastric feeding-tube because you’ve starved yourself so much that your body doesn’t recognize food as a good thing and tries to attack itself.
- Re-Feeding Syndrome, which can kill you.
- Emotional struggles for years.
- A father crying and pleading on his knees begging for you to get help
- A mother who cries every time she sees you because you look and SMELL like death.
- Holidays missed, birthdays crying in a hospital.
- Almost every major organ in your body failing.
- A shower chair – because you can’t stand in the shower because you’re too weak and the warm water could make you pass out.
- A wheelchair, because you are too weak to walk and it could make you go into cardiac arrest.
- A lifetime of medications for anxiety and the health issues “Anna Rexia” caused.
- Plenty of money for multiple ER trips due to “Anna Rexia” even in recovery.
- And if you don’t get help like I do, or even if you do, a coffin. Because I’ve lost more friends to this eating disorder then anything I’ve ever faced.
I almost died from this. I know it’s supposed to be funny and shit and yeah I get that, but seriously. THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Anorexia is nothing to party about or laugh at. It’s real, it’s deadly, and should not be marketed as a slutty outfit.
Want to dress as “Anna Rexia”? Just go as a Vampire, or a Zombie. Because 1/3 of us are dead.
i’m not kidding when i say this is going to be hell for amber heard. like every woman who comes forward about domestic abuse, there will be a bias against her but one that is amplified so much more by her position in the limelight and depp’s career. she will be dragged every day in the press and accused of all kinds of things by twitter and mocked on websites and people would rather joke about it than support her vocally but she needs to know she has support right now. she is a young woman accusing an older man of something people would rather laud than address, please give her your support.
she filed her evidence and restraining order today. the police had to be called to their home on saturday and, according to the source, it’s not the first time something like this has happened. this is disgusting behavior from a man that she placed her heart and her trust in. the way that this is already being handle by depp is gross, already he has come out on the defense and has said that he will not address any ‘salacious gossip, false stories or lies about his personal life’.
already, he is setting her up in the traditional way that media view women who come forward about domestic abuse: as an attention seeking liar. already, he is setting her up to fall.
we need to believe amber heard and we need to stand with her through this. every account anyone has of her it’s that she is a kind and genuine person; she deserves better.
i stand with amber heard.
And if anyone tries to tell you that this is somehow some falsified made up story, remind them how infrequently domestic abuse accusations are fake. Remind them that two extremely high-profile people are involved and that Amber Heard is risking her entire career and putting her ass on the line so that she can stand up to her abuser.
If they say “well, he’s never done anything like this before,” remind them that nobody believed Bill Cosby had for his entire beloved life and career, either.
I stand with Amber Heard.
remember that people gave her shit and call her a whore and a gold digger for “daring” to file for divorce three days after his mother died, despite the fact that it was later revealed that she filed because he threw a phone at her face after he came home high and drunk and she decided she’d had enough and didn’t deserve to be treated like that
remember that Depp’s camp started the smear campaign immediately, trying to imply that her “bisexual nature” and “lesbian friends” ruined their marriage
remember that Amber Heard had to show up in court with bruises on her face and literally tell the world that her husband hits her regularly despite knowing that she would be immediately vilified for it
and remember that Johnny Depp does not deserve to be defended just because he made some movies that you like or helped an old lady with her hearing aids
This is why I’m terrified to admit that I’ve been a victim of sexual assault.
Don’t fucking ignore this. Read every single one of these comments. This is the world we live in.
Fun fact: Men don’t get erections strictly when they’re aroused. You know what can trigger an erection? Fear. Adrenaline. Even fucking waking up in the morning.
People with penises can, in fact, be raped.These comments make me sick.
I’m going to throw up
I’m glad this has as many notes as it does.
I was molested at age six by an old woman. Was I “begging for it” too?
oh my god. a grown adult cannot have sex with an underage student? its not that hard of a concept, it doesn’t even matter the gender. the poor boys are probably traumatized :[
Right?!
In the USA, it’s 100x cheaper to take an Uber to the hospital instead of an ambulance.
I don’t know if this is true or..
Like, having to pay for an ambulance that is taking you to the hospital? That doesn’t make any sense. What kind of distopian world is that?It costs thousands of dollars to ride in an ambulance
In America some people with chronic health conditions like epilepsy literally have to wear medical IDs that say “don’t call an ambulance/911”. Some well-meaning person calling an ambulance for you will turn into a thousand (or couple thousand) dollars that YOU are on the hook for, even though you didn’t make the call. So, PSA: if you see someone having a seizure, look for a medical ID! You should only call an ambulance if: the person is elderly, pregnant, or the seizure lasts more than 4 minutes. Otherwise, wait for the seizure to pass, then ask the person if they want an ambulance when they regain consciousness.
wtf
Oh my god what.
Here in Quebec, if you call an ambulance for something they deem non-emergency, you get a bill later for like $180. But if it’s anything like a loss of consciousness, chest pains, labour, whatever, or if you’re in a public place and a a well-meaning samaritan calls 911, it’s paid for by the government.
Seriously, everything about healthcare in the US makes me want to cry.
A couple times a good friend of mine who lived close by called me in the middle of the night for a ride to the hospital because she was super sick but couldn’t drive herself and couldn’t afford the charge for an ambulance.
I really do think America wants the poor to die.
France’s Jews Flee As Rioters Burn Shops To Chants Of ‘Gas The Jews’
France’s politicians and community leaders have criticised the “intolerable” violence against Paris’ Jewish community, after a pro-Palestinian rally led to the vandalizing and looting of Jewish businesses and the burning of cars.
please please please spread this around, please speak up about this, please let everyone know that this is not okay, please please please protect my people from a second kristallnacht, please
Listen. I love my followers and my mutuals dearly. You know how occasionally I post something like ‘every Jew on this site has a list in their head of who reblogs what and who ignores posts about Jews’? I’m talking about this shit. I have been seeing things on my dash about the situation of Jews in France for over a year, but it’s coming from other Jews 99% of the time. Please stop ignoring this. This is literally history repeating itself and we can’t be the only ones calling it out again.
