If we refuse to speak to a friend because we project our anxieties onto an email they wrote, how are we going to welcome refugees, immigrants, and the homeless into our communities?

Hey… this is a really dumb question… 😅 Say I was getting tested for HIV at a free clinic, and I placed my Iphone facedown on its screen on the table people get tested on. Hypothetically, say there was dried blood or HIV particles on the table that made contact with my phone’s screen and hours later I scratch my face that has open open wounds.

Do you see a solution outside of accreditation for the problems of sub-par surgeons? Informed Consent is essential, but it also brings out a lot of shitty dynamics of marketplace capitalism to our issues. For example, there is a well known top surgeon who leaves bad results and who has passed the surgery off to a new doctor day of. But his patients have signed away their legal rights to class action. How can he be stopped?
As it is, gatekeeping and diagnosis doesn’t protect us from any of the dynamics of marketplace capitalism, it just makes those things slower and more expensive. We can fight the effects of capitalism by collective action, by making truthful information about shitty doctors easy to find, by organizing against those who screw us over. It … Continue reading Do you see a solution outside of accreditation for the problems of sub-par surgeons?

I want white men to know that fascists will kill them.
queeranarchism: I want ‘apolitical’ white men to know that fascists, once they have complete control of the state, will kill them. This may not seem obvious as fascists usually aren’t talking about killing you and that isn’t among their main intentions. But they will kill you. Maybe fascists will kill you because you were disobedient. … Continue reading I want white men to know that fascists will kill them.
