So here’s the thing… one of my best friends works in a hospital and her department literally has to wear those disposable, single-use face masks for an entire week before changing them out because their supplies are so low. And the likelihood of a patient getting one? Slim to none. Her hospital has an entire Covid-19 ward where they are losing patients daily and the staff are stretched to their limits. Basically, they need a little help and a lot of goodness sent their way.
I know some of you have been making cloth face masks at home, but I personally don’t have the supplies to make any myself. You know what I do have though? A supportive community and some free stuff to give away!
Have extra cloth? Make a mask! I’ll take any donations, but whoever sends the most can have a free little gift from me if they want it. I’ve got some DVDs lying around that I can part with.
(That’s the entire series of Boy Meets World in one box set, and Marvel’s Venom, both still unopened in their original packaging. You can have one, both, or if you send the most masks and don’t want either we can work something else out.)
And everyone who sends masks will get a special thank you sent from me if they want, whether they made the most or not!
My friend has asked that the masks be sent to my house where she can pick them up, rather than to the hospital itself, that way she can distribute them where they’re most needed first. (And before anyone asks, everyone in the house is now confirmed virus free and the house has been cleaned floor to ceiling.)
Message me if you’re interested, and feel free to signal boost this post. I’ll be open to taking any masks from now until the end of April.
Gotham police: Batman! Quick! Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have broken into Money McBillionaire’s mansion.
Batman: You mean the one who’s been in the news because their factories haven’t been properly disposing of toxic waste?
cops: uh yeah?
Batman: and didn’t he get caught up in a domestic violence scandal a few years ago?
Cops: shouldn’t you be stopping them?
Batman: right, on it.
*Later*
Batman: Harley! Ivy! Stop! Don’t beat up Money McBillionaire! And don’t take this flashdrive which contains documents detailing his company’s dangerously lax safety practices as well as formal complaints and lawsuits from workers who have gotten sick off of toxic fumes. And definitely don’t take this other one revealing exactly how much he paid to have those domestic violence charges dropped, including the names of the people who accepted the bribe. And please, for the love of humanity, don’t send them to Clark Kent at the Daily Planet lest he publish these private documents for all to see.
Harley: Got an address?
Batman: Yeah, I’ll have Nightwing text it to you. Include a note that says B pointed you in his direction.
So I’ve blocked like five transphobes on this post, which I feel should have been relatively uncontroversial.
If you’re one of the people saying “You meant ‘women’”, fuck you. I meant “people who have a vagina, regardless of their gender or lack thereof”, and you can go fuck yourself with a cactus.
And you should pee afterward, so you don’t get a UTI.
*facepalm* So, given that sex ed in the US is a tire fire:
Vagina-having people have a shorter urethra, which means we’re more prone to UTIs because the bacteria doesn’t have to travel as far to get up into your bladder and cause a problem.
Which means if you’re exposing your bits to bacteria (as with sex), peeing will flush out bacteria in the urethra. (Urine isn’t actually sterile - that’s a myth - but you’re *supposed to* have a little bit of bacteria - that’s how bodies work. But it still flushes things out that shouldn’t be there.)
Oh! You should ALSO pee after you masturbate, especially if it involves penetration with fingers/toys/etc
