Hypervigilance can cause fatigue guys. PTSD can cause fatigue, anxiety and depression can cause fatigue, Bipolar can cause fatigue, any and all mental illnesses can.
Please understand if youre mentally ill and physically or emotionally fatigued, that is not you being lazy! It is your body and brain being tired of fighting your illness! You are tired because youve been fighting.
This struggle you are going through is real, please do not let yourself or anyone invalidate you further by saying youre lazy.
No, that is NOT what this is. You’ve taken an amazing medical invention, a total game changer, and made up some stupid, faux-deep sentence fragment for it that is a complete falsehood. You should be embarrassed and ashamed, honestly.
This is a ghost heart. What they’ve done is taken a pig heart and stripped it down to, basically, a cell framework that they can use to BUILD A NEW HEART UPON. You could inject stem cells into this framework so that a newly formed personalized heart can be transplanted into a donor with a significantly reduced chance of rejection. FUCKING AMAZING. It’s not been done with human tissue yet, but the promise this given to people who need hearts – or kidneys or livers or whatever – is beautiful. Science is beautiful.
And it’s IMPERATIVE to mention that a woman, Doris Taylor, at the Texas Heart Institute developed this. And she started with a rat heart and worked up to he bigger, more complex (and more human) pig heart. What a total bad ass.
So look, quit making shit up, learn to do a reverse image search on stuff you find on the internet, and STOP ERASING WOMEN IN SCIENCE.

The fact that rejection rate would be LESS which is VITAL
[Image description: a twitter thread by user Erryn Brook. It reads as follows, spread out over several texts: “I want to tell you a story about how my mum taught me that I’m allowed to leave an uncomfortable situation.
I was maybe 7, I think it was my first sleepover at someone else’s house. I don’t remember the girl’s name. But before I left Mum told me that if I was uncomfortable at any point, for any reason, even if it was in the middle of the night, I could call her.
She was very clear. She said even if her parents have gone to bed I want you to knock on their bedroom door and ask to use the phone. I could call her even if it was late. And if her parents didn’t answer the door to just go find the phone and call her anyway.
She said it doesn’t matter what time it is, you won’t be in trouble and I’ll come get you.
I think I was being teased about something. It definitely wasn’t just I can’t sleep, there was something social going on. But that’s what I did.
The girl’s mom tried to discourage me. She said it was late, I said my mum didn’t care. She said I could sleep on the couch. I said I wanted to go home. She said I was upsetting her daughter, I said she was mean to me.
I remember holding the phone and my mum answered. I said “hi Mum.” She said “you want me to come get you?” I said “yes please.” She said “ask her Mum to help you pack up your things and get your coat on. I’ll be right there.”
And my mum showed up on her doorstep in pajama pants and a coat. The girl’s mum kept apologizing for me calling, my mum put up a hand and said “don’t apologize for my daughter. I want her to know she’s allowed to leave and I’ll be there for her at any time.”
I remember the little crowd of sleepover girls huddled in the far doorway that led to the bedrooms, watching all of this confused and silent. And I remember that mom apologizing. She didn’t seem to know what to say after my mum asked her to stop.
I had more incidents like that as I grew up. My mum did a lot around boundaries with me. I remember her marching me down the street to another girl’s house to ask for an apology in front of her parents.
I remember her telling 3 friends to sit in the front room with their bags packed while they waited for their parents to come get them, after I had told them all to “get out of my house” for teasing me and bullying me.
I remember her coaching me through a speech on how to resign and leave from a hostile work environment when I was in the middle of nowhere at a camp for the summer, and she offered money to get a cab to pick me and my friends up.
I can’t say I’ve always followed my gut on boundaries and discomfort. I can’t say I’ve never swallowed it in order to make others comfortable. But I can say what she taught me was important. It was and still is radical.
It’s radical to have boundaries. And to exercise them. Three things I think were really really important in what she did:
1. She always explicitly said “you can leave if you want to.”
2. She never questioned why, or whether I was overreacting.
3. She showed up.
But I think a lot about the girl’s mum apologizing and how… that’s the norm, actually. What my mum taught me was radical, what that girl’s mum was teaching was the norm. “Just deal with it, don’t trouble anyone, go back to sleep, it’ll be over soon, don’t ruin it.”
And I still get that message from a lot of places. But my mum taught me that I’m allowed to leave.
I see what a privilege that is as an adult. For some people, for some situations, there is no way out. But sometimes, also, we don’t leave because we think we’re not allowed.
So, just in case no one ever told you (or you need a reminder): YOU ARE ALLOWED TO LEAVE.
You can leave a date, a party, a job, a meeting, a commitment. You are allowed. If you’re worried about keeping your word remember that your boundaries are also your word, your integrity.
I wanted to tell this story because the message to stay to make others comfortable is so pervasive, that without actively teaching me that I’m allowed to leave, that’s what I would’ve absorbed.
Hell, I absorbed a lot of it anyway. As an adult, at that camp job, I remember her on the phone saying “what do you want to do?” And not knowing, until she said “do you want to leave?” And I said “can I?” She said “You can always leave. What do you need so you can leave?”
So, if you’re a person like me, who was taught that you’re allowed to leave, keep an eye out for those who weren’t. They may need the reminder. They may need to hear that it’s okay. They may need help. And keep telling yourself that you are allowed. You’re allowed to leave.
Wow this is really taking off! Before it goes too far I wanted to say: I’m seeing this being gendered and while I am a woman and my mother is a woman there’s no gender on this message. I understand the impulse to teach your daughters this but please teach all children.” /end ID]
Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.
That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.
👏🏻 if u don’t love me at my “consistently ignored female/poc/queer/overlooked/original muse” then u don’t deserve me at my “fandom-wide thirsted-after male canon muse” 👏🏻
To help educate the masses, and since we actually talked about this law A LOT in my Master’s degree, I’m going to try to break down this law to help get rid of stereotypes and other crap surrounding it
Possibly the best part of it is the fact that it REQUIRES insurances to cover birth control, so it’ll come very cheap or at NO COST to the women who request it for whatever reason. People don’t realize that the best “Anti-pregnancy” one (nexplanon, has a chance of roughly 1/5000 in being pregnant in a given year) cost literally $1200-2000, depending on the facility giving it to you and who gave it tot he facility without insurance
Literally the only reason people started calling it “Obamacare” was because the Republicans hated Obama, that’s it.
The law honestly should have been called the “Accessible care act” because its INTENTIONS was to allow healthcare to become much more ACCESSIBLE to people across ALL incomes (from the deepest poverty to those rich) and provide a “minimum care statement” that ALL insurance plans had to offer (such as free physicals and prevention health exams), but “The accessible care act” doesn’t have as nice a ring to it as “affordable care act”
Fox news (if you didn’t know, VERY pro-republican leaning) will smear this law every chance they get DO NOT trust information about this law from them
One reason why costs went up with plans because of this is because the STATES DID NOT WANT TO FUND THIS! The idea was “things will get slightly more expensive before bringing down the cost” but because the states were being total asses about it, they ended up driving up costs for their own selfish reasons
Those states that chose to invest in the ACA actually saw health insurance prices go down
As the years went by from its inactment, government kept cutting more and more funds,despite how this has helped nearly 20 million people get insurance
If a bill loses its funding, its dead in the water. It can be the best bill in the world about whatever subject it was written about, but if it doesn’t have funding, it’s dead in the water
So in conclusion:
Despite Trump’s attempt at gutting the ACA, it’s still recruiting MANY people
Again, 20 freaking million people have health insurance now because of the ACA, 20 MILLION
People complaining about how your prices went up for healthcare? BLAME YOUR REPRESENTATIVE! Do NOT blame the bill! THEY BROUGHT THIS ON YOU! The bill did not!
This mun defends all friends/fellow bloggers. If I see a bully anon I am inclined to say something to refute the cruel words.
Do not tell people to kill themselves
Do not make light of another’s issues
Do not tell someone they are a horrible writer
Do not tell someone they are worthless
Do not tell someone to leave Tumblr
Do not tell someone to leave a fandom
Do not bully.
Unfollow is always an option if you dislike how someone runs their blog/what they post. There is no reason to be a douchebag about it. Simply click the button and leave them be. There is a difference in constructive criticism and flat-out cruelty. Choose words carefully, as they are very powerful tools.
Thank you for reading this, and even more if you also follow these principles.
((If any of y’all are being bullied im pretty much always here do feel free to talk to me and I will get involved if possible))

Ye. Don’t hurt my friend’s. They beautiful, and if you do, I will shank you.
