hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet! 

hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.

If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too! 

Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!

Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

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.

I was once charged $600 for walking into a hospital for a blood test. The blood test was one fee and then there was a $600 fee for my being “admitted” for about 10 minutes.

We argued and did not have to pay it in the end. But still.

*sings* I feel like I literally moved to the Hunger Games somtimes.

My buddy passed out from stomach cramps a couple months back (apparently there’s some nerve that deals with both blood pressure and stomach cramps or something). His girlfriend and her mother took him to the ER because that’s what you do when someone, yknow, passes the hell out for no apparent reason. The bill is definitely over a grand.

Don’t get sick, even for five minutes, dangit.

when my grandma had a stroke, the ambulance ride alone was $14,000

14 fucking grands? WHat the everloving fuck, murrica? 

Here in Germany you gotta pay 311,50 Euro for the ambulance with full equipment in case of an emergency, or 100 Euro for the smaller version of it; i.e the transport to a hospital (in non-life threatening cases where you are unable to get to a hospital yourself.) 

Both are costs that are covered by the state health insurance/care however, if calling an ambulance and/or transport was deemed necessary.

This girl has a strong message for body-shaming victims: “Wear whatever the hell you want”

Sara Petty created a collage of tweets she found, alongside pictures of her wearing the clothes that the tweets said not to wear with a big smile strewn across her face. The result was glorious and in addition to helping other girls feel good about their bodies, she also helped herself.

One of my hobbies is looking at houses I can’t buy and daydream about where I’d put what, how I’d work the gardens, things like that.

But you know what always makes me a little sad? When I’m viewing a listing, the bathroom has rails or a shower seat, or there’s some other sort of mobility aid, and the first thing the description says is ‘no forward chain’.

Since we have replies back, I’d like to take advantage by asking you guys about pronunciations. Take the following names of people and places from a high fantasy foray @czarinamischa and I are working on:

  • Gelespri
  • Geles
  • Rhanin
  • Karel
  • Tiera

So how would you pronounce these, and optionally, where are you from/what’s your first language?
