Seizure First Aid. 

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it. 

100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)

I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.

And again, you cannot swallow your tongue, I promise. Do not put ANYTHING in their mouth.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

why on earth doesn’t this have more notes

I actually had to do this once. She lived.

if you scroll past this on your dash you are absolutely heartless.

Reblog this!! This can save somebody’s life!

reblog.

help.

do not scroll down.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF ANYONE SCROLLS PAST THIS WITHOUT REBLOGGING I WILL LITTERALLY FIND THEM AND GIVE THEM A LECTURE

may I just update this?

see the little thing that says help?

Don’t ever scroll past this post. FUCKING NEVER SCROLL PAST!!!

Always Reblog. You might actually Save a Life!!

Spread awareness. It might save a life

always always alwaysss reblog this!

This is important!

Reblogging as it could literally save someone life xx

I’ve lost too many people to suicide to not always reblog this

BREAKING: Senate vote to overturn the FCC’s unpopular net neutrality repeal now guaranteed

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 8, 2017
Contact: Evan Greer, press@fightforthefuture.org, 978-852-6457

Internet users are pledging to vote out lawmakers in 2018 if they do not support Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to restore FCC rules

Net neutrality advocates have hit an important milestone and are gaining ground in Congress. A Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality has hit the 30 sign-ons from Senators needed to force a vote on the Senate floor. The CRA allows Congress to overturn the FCC’s decision, which has generated widespread bipartisan backlash, with a simple majority vote in the Senate and House, which is increasingly within reach with several Republicans already publicly criticizing the FCC’s move.

Evan Greer, campaign director of Fight for the Future (pronouns: she/her), issued the following statement:

“Internet users are angry, educated, and organized. We refuse to back down. Net neutrality is too important to the future of our democracy. Today’s news shows that lawmakers from both parties cannot hide from their constituents on this issue. Every member of the U.S. Senate will have to go on the record, during a tight election year, and either vote to save the Internet or rubber stamp its death warrant.

We will not be fooled by trojan horse legislation branded as a compromise. Millions of people from across the political spectrum fought hard to win the Title II net neutrality protections that the FCC just callously slashed at the behest of telecom lobbyists. The Congressional Review Act gives Congress the power to reverse that corrupt and illegitimate decision and restore the basic protections that enable free expression, creativity, and innovation online.

Any lawmaker foolish enough to be on the wrong side of history by voting against the free and open Internet will regret it come election day.”

Last week, Fight for the Future announced a no holds barred campaign at VoteForNetNeutrality.com calling on Internet users to pledge to vote against lawmakers who don’t support the CRA resolution to overturn the FCC decision and restore net neutrality protections. Millions of people have taken action in recent months, bombarding Congress with a flood of phone calls, emails, faxes, tweets, protests, and constituent meetings.

###

To be clear, if it does get overturned, the president can still veto, and two-thirds of Congress (in both the House and Senate) will need to vote to overrule the veto. So a simple majority is not enough, and calls / emails should be placed to get as many congresspeople on board as possible.

Good Ol’ Resistbot!

The average adult needs 2000 calories a day. 

Maybe you’ll need more if you’re taller, have a larger frame, or work out a lot (ex. if you run for an hour every day, you probably need closer to 2400-2500 calories per day). 

It’s possible you’ll need slightly less if you’re smaller or shorter.

But you should never intentionally go for less than 2000 calories. When it comes to food and health, it’s almost always better to have too much of something than not enough. 

If you are eating less than 2000 a day and it’s not been medically recommended for something like a serious digestive issue or recovering from something that made digestion difficult, please please PLEASE see a doctor. 

And if your doctor tells you to eat less for reasons other than digestive issues, please do your research and consider if they have your best interest at heart. It’s one thing to tell you to cut something down (for example, you have a doctor who tells you to eat fewer sour foods because they’re destroying the lining of your mouth) and another to say ‘eat fewer calories than your body needs to help you function day to day’. The first is legit medical advice, the second is something you need to seriously reconsider listening to.

THIS!

This is the election that counts. Start educating yourself now on who will be campaigning to be your congresspeople/governor/etc. 

Register to vote NOW. Don’t wait. You can do it any time.

This is the fight we need to win.  VOTE 

VOTE 

VOTE

Also…reminder to pay attention to all local elections and VOTE. These elected officials are the people most likely to directly impact your life in the short term. 

This has to start now. Right now.

Get your birth certificates. There may be a fee or long wait times. Make sure you get a certified copy.

Make sure you have ID. Dig into your state’s laws and the whole Real ID thing, because (and sorry I can’t research this now, but pneumonia) I believe there are certain states whose driver’s licenses don’t qualify for Real ID.

Make sure you’re registered to vote. Google it. Follow the instructions for your state.

Know where your local polling place is or find out if you can vote by mail.

Vote in ALL your upcoming elections. Yes, that means the little ones for city council or dog catcher or whatever. Vote those racist, homophobic, bigots out at every level.

They’re like weeds. You can pull up every visible bit, but if you leave one tiny segment of root, they’ll just come back.

To quote Mira Grant, rise up while you can. Because the Republicans are way the hell worse than zombies.

Here’s how to check which district you’re in and who your rep is.

Here’s how to find out if you’re registered.

Here are the deadlines for when to register.

Here’s how to register, if it turns out you’re not.

Here’s how to find local polling places.

I doubt this will impeach him, but still, make sure you’re registered to vote by this time.

I definitely wouldn’t say that if Republicans lose the majority in Congress Trump will be impeached. That isn’t why you should care about this election.

Some of the worst things to come out of the Trump administration so far have only just barely passed the House or Senate by a few votes, with Democrats often unanimously voting against and most Republicans voting for. Don’t just vote in the midterms to get rid of Trump, vote to bring legislators into Congress who won’t let this shit fly.

VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Impeachment is a long process, so you’d be waiting for some time regardless, but definitely go out and vote this year.

So we all know we are going to support the frick out “Black Panther” (COMING TO THE THEATRE:12th of February) and “A Wrinkle In Time” (COMING TO THE THEATRE:9th of March)

But I haven’t seen much promo for “Proud Mary”! Taraji P. Henson as a kick ass black woman who is a assassin….we need to get behind this shit too (USA PREMIERE:12th of January/UK PREMIERE:23rd of March)

Watch trailer here!

SUPPORT BLACK WOMAN LEAD MOVIES

Please spread this. My theory is they’re only promoting in areas that are like 50% Black or more, which in the US means most of us aren’t seeing/hearing about it.

My movie theatres promoted it during both Father Figures and Pitch Perfect 3. Is this a US thing?

GUYS

CONGRESS HAS USED THE CRA AND FORCED A FLOOR VOTE ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW

Guys, I don’t want to rain on any parades, though you should all know that even if this resolution passes, it needs Trump’s signature.

The White House has already said they wouldn’t give it. 

BUT 

That doesn’t make this a useless vote. It’s important to get your electeds on record about where they stand. Remind them you’re watching for who to vote for soon. Make the case that the public and congress want net neutrality.

And, if you have money, donate to people suing for it.
