Leave him

If he’s a deadbeat loser, leave him.

If he’s bringing nothing to the table, leave him.

If you work to support the both of you while he does NOTHING, leave him.

If he cheated once, leave him immediately, plenty of fish, don’t wait for him to do it again because we both know he will.

If he has no ambition or goals in life, leave his sorry ass.

If he raised a hand on you ONCE, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY.

If he makes you feel worthless and incompetent, leave him.

If he calls you names and pushes you down, leave him.

If he FORCES you to submit to him and be his doormat, LEAVE HIM.

There are too many men in this world to let that one fucker treat you like crap. He is a grain of sand in a dessert. Find a better grain of sand that’s ACTUALLY WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

Sex worker or vanilla girl, black, white, asian, latina, mixed, no matter your ethnicity, background, trans woman or cis woman, gay, straight or bi, disabled or not, no matter your race, sexuality, age, no matter what,

LEAVE ABUSERS AND DEADBEAT “PARTNERS” THAT DRAG YOU DOWN.

YOU ARE GOLD AND DON’T MAKE ME FUCKING REPEAT MYSELF.

Because I remember disinformation being spread around the last election and I’m sure Russia will bring it back:

  • YOU CAN’T VOTE ONLINE.
  • YOU CAN’T VOTE FROM YOUR PHONE.
  • IN MANY STATES THERE ARE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR BALLOT.
  • DO NOT WEAR CAMPAIGN GEAR TO THE POLLS.
  • DO NOT TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR A CANDIDATE AT THE POLLS.
  • DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL DISCOURSE AT THE POLLS.
  • NO ELECTION IS EVER A SURE THING, EVEN IF YOU’RE IN THE BLUEST OR REDDEST OF STATES.  IF SOMEONE TRIES TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SIT THIS ONE OUT, THEY ARE EITHER IGNORANT OR MALICIOUS.
  • VOTE.

On Friday, July 27, 2018, ACT UP NY went to the Whitney Museum’s evening hours and stood silently next to specific artworks in both the Incomplete History of Protest and David Wojnarowicz exhibits, holding framed recent news articles about the HIV/AIDS epidemic that were formatted to look like museum plaques.

Our goal was to connect these otherwise excellent exhibits to the current, ongoing struggle against HIV/AIDS which was left out, and which is continually glossed over not only by arts institutions, but also by governments and through public ignorance.

Many patrons were upset when they realized they were only getting half the story. Dozens of shocked museum-goers spoke to and photographed each of us and our plaques. One woman plaintively asked, “How can we teach kids about HIV when teachers and adults still don’t know anything about HIV?” People gasped about HIV rates in American communities of color, and about the President firing the entire Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. Teenagers and young women, pulled in by the recent dates and the presence of living humans, stood and read and asked questions about this complex subject.

In other words, in just one hour, we facilitated hundreds of short, personal conversations and revelations about dozens of ongoing HIV issues.

Read our full statement for more on this action.

Articles included:

Also excerpted were statements affirming U=U:

“People living with HIV who take HIV medicine as prescribed and get and keep an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of transmitting
HIV to their HIV-negative sexual partners.”

— U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, September 2017

“Undetectable = Untransmittable, U=U” campaign aims — and is having success in — changing forever the way organizations and people with HIV talk and think about viral undetectability and infectiousness. Little is more likely to help demolish the stigma against HIV than spreading the U=U news to their partners, family, and community. It offers them and all of us hope.”

— Gus Cairns, NAM aidsmap, February 2017


AIDS is not history. And you can help spread the word.

Share these articles, and if you can, join us Saturday, August 4 at 4:30 p.m. for a repeat action during the Whitney’s sign language tour.

(If you need an ACT UP shirt, order one and mention that you’re coming — or shoot us a message if it’s a financial hardship — and we’ll have it for you at the action.)

This is a really rewarding action, and your help will make it even better.

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters… S.T..R …
My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall – she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food – while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid’s husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital – (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.

Some don’t die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this…

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke…totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Remember the ‘3’ steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :

S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..
T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg ‘It is sunny out today’).
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

NOTE : Another ‘sign’ of a stroke is
1. Ask the person to ‘stick’ out their tongue.
2. If the tongue is ‘crooked’, if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.

A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

And it could be your own.

First reblog post that actually saves a life.

This is a life-saving post.

the more you know

yeah don’t think that this can’t happen to you or someone you know if they’re young. my cousin’s wife is 33 and she had a stroke last year

I’ve had a stroke. It happens to people, and the more you know about this kind of stuff, the better.Because it could be important to know.

LIVE SAVING. WOOOAHH. REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG 

Had a family member almost die of one, so signal boosting because you never know when you could save a life.

Because I feel bad if I don’t reblog…

 

My mother died after being paralyzed by a stroke. Please read this^

I remember a while ago here in UK there were stroke-identifying adverts. Their catchphrase was FAST:

  • F- Face: is their face fallen on one side?
  • A- Arms: can they raise both their arms up and hold them there?
  • S- Speech: is their speech slurred? Can they speak a full sentence?
  • T- Time: if all the signs show a stroke, call 999.

We managed to save my nana with this information when she had her first stroke. 

SAVE A LIFE.

Reblogging here, main and discourse

My dad’s a stroke survivor. It happened to him a few years ago. fortunately I was there when it happened. It was the scariest day of my life. If you were to look at my dad now, you would of never known he had one. I’m so glad to have on my life. I couldn’t imagine my life without him.

For those of you reading this, please remember the signs. It could save someone’s life.
