Shout out to Hazel who was full on ready to take the blame and punishment for what happened at Haven Academy and not immediately blaming Cinder or any of the kids for what happened. Like even when Salem flipped the fucking table he was ready to continue to stand by what he said, saying “I don’t-” before being cut off by her.
The weird thing about falling down the golden oldies hole is finding a great song, and then discovering that actually, it’s the toothless cover by white artists of a song that was performed much better by the original black artists. This seems to have been, like, common practice?? Were black people not allowed to have a hit unless the whites ritualistically desecrated it on the radio, jfk
I think the most dreadful example of this I found was Rum and Coca-Cola, which was in its original form a commentary on the sex tourism that American soldiers engaged in when they visited Trinidad.
And then the Andrews Sisters sang it like it was a little ditty about family vacation.
Western Europe’s weird “we all learned our lesson after 1945 and now we’re all nice progressives who don’t do icky things like racism and sexism anymore 😇” superiority complex is straight up one of the biggest enablers of the rise of the militant far right here
my gender breakdowns are just me realising i exist and realising i told people i have a gender because that’s a mistake i am an entire void i don’t feel anything
HOSPITALS. ARE. ALREADY. REQUIRED. UNDER. LAW. TO. PROVIDE. LIFE. SAVING. EMERGENCY. CARE. REGARDLESS. OF. ABILITY. TO. PAY. OR. EVEN. CITIZENSHIP.
Stop acting like Americans have no access to emergency healthcare unless we socialize medicine.
IF. YOU. GO. AND. CAN’T. PAY. YOU’RE. STILL. THOUSANDS. IN. DEBT. THIS. IS. NOT. ACCESS.
This hospital in my city just threw out a homeless man
The hospital which took me in after I collapsed from the fist sized tumor over my heart, released me after refusing to diagnose it as cancer, which would have forced them to give me some kind of treatment. The doctor at the county hospital which took me in looked at their tests and said, “this is CLEARLY cancer, why didn’t they diagnose it? We can’t let you leave.”
Hospitals find ways when they want to, to avoid helping people when they want to.
“Oh that’s illegal, you should sue” “ with what money and how will I get the time and energy when I’m busy recovering from chemo?”
People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.
Absolutely this: “People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.”
“People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.”
let it sink in “People who can’t afford treatment also can’t afford to protect their rights.”
