Defend and Protect Black Women!!

Misogynoir medical bias is KILLING Black women disproportionately. If you know even a little history of how Black women have been systematically dehumanized and objectified in the medical industrial complex -you'd know this is FAR too common and it's despicable. These medical professionals should be losing their licenses to practice medicine.

"Black women are three to four times more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth and die from these complications compared with white women. Additionally, infants born to Black women are two times more likely to be born premature (<37 weeks of gestation) compared with infants born to white women."

"In the 19th century, J. Marion Sims performed experimental surgery on enslaved Black women without their consent to develop a cure for vesicovaginal fistula. These experiments facilitated the generations of two key health care scripts about Black women in the context of reproductive health care: (1) it is acceptable to perform procedures on Black women without their consent; and (2) Black women have a high tolerance for pain."

"Although there is a plethora of research documenting Black women's experiences of racism and discrimination while navigating perinatal care, much less has been reported regarding the relationship between racism and clinical care through the lens of clinicians' caring for Black women during pregnancy and childbirth."

i want justice for all disabled people. i want us to be able to live freely, to be loved, to have rights, to not be hurt and discarded. i want a better world for us all so deeply. this includes you, whether you think you deserve goodness or not. a life free of oppression is not something to be deserved in the sense of needing to do something to be worthy of it. you inherently need it. you have an inherent right to this and i am sorry we don't live in a better world. but one day we will. we have to.

Not to go off, but:

- structural, racial, and financial inequalities make it next to impossible for some parents to parent effectively (because they’re working six jobs and/or are in prison and/or are chronically ill);

- their kids go to understaffed and underfunded schools who are expected to provide not just education but also child care, mentoring, mediation, and twelve other unfunded mandates to support their students;

- the kids wind up trying to parent themselves and counsel their friends in schools that are not following through on their IEPs, not providing effective classroom management, and not able to keep sufficient adults around for supervision — and schools are thence full of dysregulated children. many of them high as balls, who do not feel safe;

- and our health insurance companies give me and my colleagues in community mental health like 8-12 therapy sessions to fix alllll of that and refer them out to community supports that either don’t take public insurance or straight up don’t exist.

(Plus we still don’t agree on best practices for teaching people to safely use television and the internet, much less these damn smartphones, and our brains are still running hardware from 150,000 years before the Neolithic Revolution.)

So not to kvetch or anything? but I think the rich assholes who have been profiteering off of the aforementioned inequalities should be obligated to spend a few billion dollars to fund some smart people who have been trying to actually fix, like, literally any part of this.

I ranted yesterday at the end of this post about C-PTSD about the extensive damage chronic stress and chaos does to brains. We have set up a system in which this damage is almost unavoidable for a vast number of people, and it’s only snowballing out of control as the generational trauma continues to rack up. (This shit was already endemic when I was a kid, and I’m old enough to be some of these kids’ grandparents.)

We continue to ask more out of workers, more out of children, and more out of their schools, and while thank GOD people are finally talking openly about the impact on mental health, community mental health centers designed to patch you up and send you back for more systemic damage are … not gonna be enough.

Like, it’s something! Therapy will and can and does help! But if you are sensing the game is rigged, I am here to validate the shit out of that for you.

And yet. And yet. We go on. Gotta haul on that moral arc and bend it. 💛

Whats your take on people who believe that the life they live is according to the choices they took before being birthed?

I don't believe in reincarnation, or some sort of pre birth plan, still I do enjoy to see others opinions on this sometimes. Some people have a reasonable idea on this, while others try to justify every bad thing is some sort of test that once passed will make them stronger.

For some this can be empowering and make them go further, while for others it can make them feel weak and give up because why would they pick that life.

Regardless of whether it empowers or discourages any specific individual, the belief that your present life is determined by past life choices ultimately serves to justify systemic inequality and oppression. It's another form of the just-world fallacy.

radical facts - short feminist facts

#patriarchy

• Women's unpaid Labour

Worldwide, women and girls perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid labor every day. This work adds $10.8 trillion to the economy every year.

With this unpaid "shadow-labour" alone, women contribute as much as 6.6 percent to the global GDP.

It exceeds the combined revenue of the 50 largest companies on last year’s , including Walmart, Apple and Amazon.

(Data via Oxfam & ILO)

Solarpunk and the need for Community

When we talk Solarpunk, we often focus a lot on the technology aspect of it (and the aesthetic). Something that kinda gets overlooked a lot through that is, that Solarpunk also needs a change in the way we live and interact with each other.

See... Currently the system is designed to keep us apart. The current version of capitalism (and I would argue capitalism in general) is focused on hyper-individualism. Which not only is supposed to inspire people to do what is best for themselves no matter the cost for others or the environment, but also to distract from how the system is failing everyone, but especially minorities. Instead of seeing abherent povertity and overincarciration of minorities as systemic issues, it frames it as individual failings to keep people from realizing the unfairness of it all.

But it also keeps us from forming communities, helping each other and organizing to change things. Most people in big cities do not even know their neighbours. Especially outside of areas, where certain minority groups are concentrated. Which is kinda the other part of it...

Minority groups more often have some sort of community, because without any sort of mutual aid they could not survive. As the systems are created to work against them.

But the issue is still, that even with those groups, we too often still then only have certain minority groups which are again kept apart and in a constant battle with each other, rather than against the system, that suppresses them all.

What I am trying to say: To be able to make Solarpunk a reality, we need to build communities right here and right now and organize. And with that I do not mean online communities, but local communities, too. Work together with neighbours. Be it to help teach children, to repair broken technology and clothing, or to assist people who might suffer from food insecurity.

And within a Solarpunk world, if we were to imagine it, people would rely so much more on mutual aid within their local communities. Work together to solve local issues. Because solving issues that way is so much more effective, than have some far off politician in a big city try and find a solution for a problem, they know barely anything about.

Capitalism is killing people in so many ways, and the medical industrial complex is one of them. Healthcare should always be a universal right -both fair and equitable access, but in many cases it is not... the mass injustices.

do you have "treatment resistant depression" or are you just fundamentally living a life that would make anyone depressed?

are you just dealing with abuse, poverty, and oppression? are you just dealing with a lifetime of trauma? do we just live in a society where peoples basic needs are neglected, and the completely understanble response to that is pathologized? on purpose? so that it's just an individual problem and people arent Trying Enough... so nothing about the system has to change?

...do you have "treatment resistant depression," or do you just need real community, support, resources, and protection?

Hello hello! Please help a journalism graduate student out!

I’m currently writing an article for class regarding environmental racism, waste colonialism, and the impact of polluting facilities/waste being intentionally positioned closer to minority and low-income communities.

I would love to hear from anyone currently in or who has spent time in affected communities about their experience, any concerns that have been raised, if those concerns have been ignored or listened to, and anything else that you find important to speak about.

Please DM me if you can offer any comment on the issue, I would greatly appreciate your time!

Just a heads up as well that I would need your name, age, pronouns, profession, and contact info (at least an email) to list as a source. If you are not comfortable with giving your real name, you can give a pseudonym to be quoted with. Your personal information will NOT be published anywhere, that is purely for my source list which will only be seen by my professor.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help! :)
