It is important for EVERYONE to know how to help ANYONE. Not everyone can give them selves their medicine under every circumstance. Be educated, help out.
In the last year, i have gotten about five new violent allergies from foods i used to be able to eat. Next time i eat a fruit, my throat could close. I may not be able to inject myself. My boyfriend and i played with my trainer pen for like 30 minutes. He knows how to inject it. I know how. This is important.
And NEVER hold your thumb over the end when injecting. Always wrap your thumb around the side. It is SO, SO easy to hold the injector backwards, when using it in a panic. If you hold your thumb over the end when doing this, you will inject your thumb, which is really not great. (I’m told that the stories of maybe losing the thumb are exaggerated. I don’t want to test it.)
EDIT: I see some people in the notes asking whether it will hurt the person being injected.
One answer I could give: It’s a fairly small needle, and it will probably hurt about the same as getting a vaccine. I think that’s not a big deal for most people. (I certainly don’t find it that painful.)
A more realistic answer, though: if someone is in the middle of a serious anaphylactic allergic reaction, they’re probably not even gonna notice the needle. They have way worse things happening.
The wildfires in Maui aren’t natural disasters, they are colonial disasters and a direct result of both the fossil fuel industry and the military industrial complex.
Realtors preying on property in Lahaina- while Kānaka Maoli who resided there for generations are now houseless- is a result of greed and disaster capitalism.
Citizen journalists on the ground are reporting on the devastating cost these fires have on their communities and the untold stories in the media about the tourists still actively extracting land and from already limited resources.
Hey I’m Pochi, a Pan/Non-Binary Disabled artist with BPD. I am re posting this because some life things changed for the worse again. So i’m still in the same boat as I was in May 2022, unemployed. I’ve had a lot happen. My ACL was torn on a plane which will require surgery, which my doctor has now forbid me to work on till I have said surgery. Plus the ceiling in one of the bedrooms caved in. I’ve asked for it on twitter but i’ve been afraid to on here.
This is a Approx. of what I’ll need just to survive
Electric (Weekly): $300.00 (The electric got raised and it’s been about $60 a day i’m drowning here)
Food (Bi Weekly): $150.00 (I can make stuff last but we need some food.)
Vet For Rug and Check up for Marmalady: $180.00 (This can be postponed But i’d like for it to be soon.)
Spay For Both Girls: $150.00 (Also postponed but again, sooner rather then later would be best for them.)
Cat Food : $50.00 (They have food mostly for now. But that doesn’t take long to run through.)
Med’s and Dr’s: One Med which is a 3 months supply is $75 alone and others range 0-$50. Doctors visits also vary but specialists have not been more then $25 so far.
Ticket to see Gir: $250.80 (This is a major want not a need.)
= So a lot, Close to $1000.00 give or take
The ceiling and plumbing repair is $15,000 I in no way am asking for that. I just need help with monthly bills while my Dr forbids me to work till after I have surgery.
She doesn’t want me reblogging this, but she does genuinely need help. She’s done everything within her power to no avail and I’m only able to provide so much.
It’s a new month so I will need to have additional help again. I hate asking, but meds are expensive and so is cat food. Sharing is just as helpful, so please do!
Pushing this again to hopefully cover some bills coming up. I was informed my acl was torn but because of the weakness in my leg I need to see a back doctor because he’s concerned about the damage there. So yippee still can’t work. So all help is greatly needed and appreciated.
Hey so I get it. People are tired of seeing me need help. But I literally just got worse news about my injury and it made me not working even worse. So I need help. I can’t work besides what i’m doing for commissions, and doing those are hard. So yeah maybe i’m mooching, but it’s not like i’ve not been trying. I don’t have a choice anymore. I am being told no you can’t do that anymore. I have no other options but to ask.
I’m once again trying to push this a little. I can’t work, doctor doesn’t want me to get worse. So I am left doing what I can to be able to pay for food and groceries. Anything really helps and I can’t say thank you enough to those who haven’t given up on me.

He is barefoot with the front part of his helmet pulled up so that his face is visible. He is scratching a smiley face into the floor in front of him with his trench knife and wearing a pink jacket that has the word “SPARTANS” in large white block letters across the chest.
