They’re not going to rat you out. They’re going to adjust your anesthesia dosage so you don’t WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY.
Some anesthesiologists will refuse to put you under if you’ve smoked cannabis within the past 24 hours – and let’s be clear, this is NOT because they’re morally against it – it’s because THC and anesthetic react in unpredictable ways and waking up in the middle of surgery is slightly less of a concern than SLIPPING INTO A COMA OR DYING.
So there’s that.
Yes, this too. Should have included this. It just wasn’t on my mind when I made the original post because my mind was full of NOPE NOPE NOPE after, you guessed it, one of my patients woke up in the middle of her surgery because she didn’t tell her anesthesia team she used marijuana.
Guys, this is really important. Until now, Google collected your data, but did not attach your name to it. Now, they can, and will. This new thing they’re doing will allow them to collect your data across searches, your email, Youtube, Maps, Google+, and all their affiliates, and build a complete profile of YOU.
If that doesn’t bother you, maybe this will: they own and can sell all that data, including anything you create and send (artists and writers, take note).
There is a way you can opt out of this ridiculousness. It’s described in the link, but if you’re still not sure about it, please ask me and I’ll guide you through how to turn all this off.
This is my wake-up call. I’ll be locking down my devices and scaling back what I put through the big Google machine, which means you may see less of me across social media. I’m going to keep researching this, but it may mean in order to keep the rights to my creative work, I’ll have to keep it out of Google’s hands. And that may take some doing.
Duckduckgo is a nontracking search engine….may be worth a try.
So according to the article there is an opt out for this. Instructions are I the last paragraph. I’m on mobile so I’ll edit this more later. EDITED TO INCLUDE OPT OUT INSTRUCTIONS

this is the most sophisticated phishing e-mail I have ever received and if they had sized the logo correctly and actually proofread the fucking thing I probably would’ve clicked that button
actually please reblog this because someone else got it too. do not click on the links in this e-mail if you get one like it, just forward it to spoof@paypal.com and delete it
I got a call from someone claiming to be from fraud department of my
bank over the weekend. The call showed up on my caller ID as US Bank
which is how I have it saved in my contacts. He said there was a
fraudulent charge from American Airlines and I was on that their website
booking a flight about an hour prior to the call.
For a moment I thought it was legit but then he asked for a pin #.
Just be careful because the caller ID makes it seem real. The actual
fraud department said they have seen this multiple times with the caller
ID showing as the bank.
Reblog to save someone’s bank account
I used to work at a bank and I can say that they will NEVER ask you for any account information, they literally already have it in front of them and called you on the number on file. So definitely if they ask for any info other than “did you make this purchase” hang up
I knew the basics before I got it, but I had no clue…
* The blood wouldn’t necessarily be red. When I first got my period, I spent a few min looking at my underwear wondering how I shit myself. I didn’t know the blood could look brown, or be thick.
* That tampons weren’t a good idea yet. I was 10 or 11 when I got my first period and physically smaller than an adult woman. My first attempt at inserting a tampon was very painful and unsuccessful. I wouldn’t use them until I was around 14 or so.
* That when you use pads the blood can get on your bottom and I’d have to occasionally clean off the toilet seat after using it.
* That getting your first period DOES NOT mean you’re fully developed and fully able to bear children. I could have technically gotten pregnant at that age, but I was still a child and pregnancy would have put my life in danger because I was still physically immature.
* That it wouldn’t be regular for another few years.
* That very painful cramping is NOT NORMAL once you reach your 20s and is cause for concern.
* That the blood and tissue you pass can look chunky or stringy and not like blood from a cut.
* That stress can halt your period for months BUT
* That doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant
Feel free to add your own
Relatable
-passing blood clots is completely normal
-that your period may straight up skip a month when you first get it
-and then it’ll happen twice in the same month
-getting your period does NOT automatically make you a woman
Painful cramping isn’t normal in your 20’s? That’s a little concerning, mine have been getting exponentially worse
It is NOT normal.
I can 100% guarantee you have endometriosis, PCOS, or another hormone problem. If your doctor says it’s normal, DEMAND a second opinion.
Thinking that it’s normal is how people end up infertile or dead. It’s why so many women under 40 these days are having an almost impossible time either conceiving or preventing conception. Because no one teaches anyone that it’s the sign of trouble that can very seriously hurt you.
Anyone who has severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or irregular periods after about 19 years old should seek medical advice. None of those are normal.
If you have skin tags, a hard time losing weight, migraines related to your period, depression that is amplified when menstruating, severe mood swings, sleep disturbances that get worse with menstruation, or any other significant health problem that started with puberty and is worse when hormones are fluctuating you need to be checked.
None of the things that people relate to women on their periods is actually an example of a healthy woman. It’s an example of people who need one form of treatment or another.
Do NOT go to a general doctor. Find a women’s health center. Obgyn doctors. ASK SPECIFICALLY FOR A FEMALE DOCTOR. (Also helps with creating a demand for female doctors, win-win)
And if the doctor you do see tried to write you off as “nothing” or “its normal”? Politely insist for another doctor. People forget: you are paying them for a service. If you believe the doctor is not taking you or your problems seriously, ASK FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR. Specifically, “Do you have another doctor on staff who is more experienced with female health”. It is WELL within your right to change doctors as you see fit – you owe no loyalty to one specific doctor if they aren’t meeting your needs.
With much of North America experiencing severe winter weather this week, anyone doing any kind of travel should be prepared with a winter emergency kit.
-A warm coat, blanket, gloves, socks, hat, and hand warmers. Those thermal mylar blankets are a compact and affordable addition. -Ice scraper and brush -Jumper cables -A foldable shovel -A flashlight -Emergency road flares or reflectors, to place well behind your vehicle -First aid kit -Multitool -Tire chains, tow strap -Flashlight, extra batteries -Matches, lighter, candles -Fresh water (bring it with you each time, if you just leave it in the car it’ll freeze) -High-energy snack food -Safety absorbent, sand, cat litter, or road salt to provide traction for your wheels -a hand-crank radio -More than half a tank of gas (to prevent freezing condensation and fuel blockages)
Some of these things can get kind of expensive, but they can be life-saving and are cheaper than an emergency room and/or a car tow.
in 2018 we will stop feeding ducks bread bc we realise it’s bad for them nutritionally and isn’t great for their water either and feed them good shit like oats, corn, lettuce, defrosted frozen peas, duck pellets and a bunch of different kinds of seeds.
NOT ONLY IS IT BAD FOR THEIR NUTRITION BUT IT CAN BE FATAL!!!!!!!!
Since ducks (and other birds) don’t have teeth they are unable to chew their food up into reasonable pieces, so instead they swallow things whole. This can lead to choking, food stuck in the esophagus, or impacted/blocked digestive tract. Without immediate proper medical care for one of these conditions they WILL DIE.
DO NOT EVER GIVE ANY BIRD BREAD! EVER!
(Also, on a side note if you see a domesticated duck in the wild please call your local animal control or animal rescue, they cannot survive on their own and need special care)
this is such a silly thing but I see the tide pod memes are on the rise and I just want to shout into the void that I read a study about people eating these things, mostly adults with dementia. before this progresses to people jokingly biting into them please be aware that the substance inside is so deeply caustic that it can damage your esophagus after one bite to such an extent that it causes necrosis and you die. please do not, as a joke, bite the pods.
🔥 There is beauty in destruction🔥
