Or you should lose weight and we’ll run tests again.

Clueless doctors are global. I strained my back spectacularly when I was 15, it didn’t heal for something like a month. My GP, who I’ve seen since I could remember, had me sent for an X ray to check for a slipped disc (got that part right). When the results came back normal – he did absolutely fucking nothing. Not even a token offer of painkillers or sending me to a chiropractor to sort out. Absolutely-bloody-nothing.

It took an acupressurist to

1) confirm that it really was just a spectacular strain

2) fix it (I couldn’t sit or stand upright comfortably for an entire day, but fuck it I could climb stairs again after that)

3) tell me what underlying issues I had (very weak, tight back muscles) and

4) suggest what I could do to prevent it happening again (swim more, build up my back muscles generally).

My GP is a lot better than the others in this post, but he does occasionally have his blind moments. If he’s not doing enough to help me, I’m gonna go to someone who can.

Of course you don’t. Free college might hinder the school-to-prison pipeline your  prison owning donors depend on

Actual quote, in context:

“I believe that we should make community college free. We should have debt-free college if you got to a public college or university. You should not have to borrow a dime to pay tuition… I disagree with free college for everybody. I don’t think taxpayers should be paying to send Donald Trump’s kids to college.“ 

Don’t spread misinformation just to fit a narrative, Clinton is advocating for there to be a cap on who gets free college so that the government doesn’t have to subsidize the education of people with enough disposable income to pay for it themselves. The plan she’s proposing would have a better chance of being passed, is more cost-effective, and still opens up higher education to low-income individuals who previously couldn’t afford it. 

the op lagonegirl literally ended up being a russian psyop im losing my mind

Reblogging this as an example of what the Russian interference here on tumblr was. I have seen some people in the past days casting doubts on Tumblr because the blogs that were banned had social justice content. 

But that was the point exactly. They posted some real things and a lot of half-truths that would appeal to the kind of politics on here and therefore spread disinformation to discourage us from participating in stopping Trump through the only option we had. I’m glad tumblr left these posts up so we could see for ourselves. 

I don’t know if it actually worked on anyone, I hope we all remember to check our sources before making our decisions, but life is short and maybe some people didn’t.  There are plenty of real social justice blogs available still, so I hope we will follow those instead.
