This racist white Martha decided she would harass two Latinas speaking Spanish and TANYA IS NOT HAVING IT TODAY!!!
C’mon now Ellen! You better put Susan in her place and do some heavy lifting to make up for your 53% sistren!
I have never in my life felt so blessed by hearing a white woman say “I’m calling the cops!” This is the only Bethanny I want near me; use your cop-calling superpowers for good, not evil.
The white woman who helped the women being harassed is Kamira Trent. The incident occurred in Rifle, Colorado.
The racist harassing two innocent women for speaking Spanish is Linda Dwire. After Trent rightly called the police to report Dwire’s threatening behavior and harassment, Dwire was arrested and charged with two counts of bias-motivated harassment. She maintains that she is not racist, just “patriotic” and believes that immigrants should be required to learn English to “prove” they “love” America enough to live here, and states that she frequently confronts random people in public for speaking languages other than English.
Dr James Barry, the first doctor to perform a successful C section wherein both mother and child survived, was a huge champion of handwashing at a time when most doctors didn’t wash their hands. For this reason, many of the chilldbirths he delivered resulted in healthier babies and mothers. He was also a gay trans man, who specifically wrote that upon his death he wished for his body to be taken in its nightshirt, wrapped in his sheets as a shroud, and placed into the coffin so that nobody would see his body. His wishes were not respected, and as a result he was outed at his death.
i’ve also been informed he had a poodle. He named his poodle Psyche. I’d just like to congratulate him on being an excellent human being, who not only pioneered modern medicine but also had good taste in dogs. that is all.

i thought this was fake but it’s not
here’s the sawbones episode about him
cis people
He was also reportedly quite the ladies’ man, and he’d apparently carried a child to term and gave birth.
he’s one of my favorite historical figures and ive read a lot on him including the biography Scanty Particulars by Rachel Holmes. a lot of the details of his life are difficult to figure out, partly cause he was very private and partly cause he had so many rumors surrounding him. here are some of my fave facts about him:
-he was very concerned with protecting poor people, women and people of color, aka all the people most of upper class british society at the time cared the least about. he worked to reform prisons and hospitals in south africa at risk to his own career, and also improved the conditions under which poor enlisted british soldiers and their families lived
-he was kind of a known hothead. he was rumored to have fought at least one duel (probably not true though). florence nightingale hated him even though they had similar ideas about medicine because they had such a clash of personalities in the brief time they worked together
-he was a vegetarian and took a goat with him on sea voyages so he could always have fresh milk
-even though he had an abrasive personality and made a lot of enemies, his patients, especially the women, really loved him because they felt like he knew what he was doing and actually cared about their health
-he died poor because the british army ripped him off >:/
edit i almost forgot the best thing. he didn’t just have one poodle named psyche. he had a bunch. when one died he would get a new poodle and name that one psyche too
do you ever think about how cool it would be to be crazy rich bc you could scroll through Tumblr and just slam dunk all these go fund mes to 100% without a second thought? you get a car, and you get a power wheelchair, and you get rent, and you get surgery for your dog, and and and and
too bad its only poor people who care about others and have empathy
Do not buy into that bullshit about us getting a “raise”. It’s not a raise. Not when workers who have been there 2+ years who made $13 when they started and now make $14 are only getting that $15 like every other new employee is. We should be getting payed $16 but we aren’t.
They already took away our ability to earn payed days off. Yup that’s right. Thru points earned thru productivity we could earn a payed day off if we had a certain amount of points.
Now they take away our monthly bonuses too that we earned thru attendance and productivity.
AND they took away our stocks because of this so-called “raise”.
All they did was move the money elsewhere. Actually, I haven’t done the calculations yet but I bet we LOST money from our pay.
That “raise” is bullshit. Fuck Jeff Bezos and fuck Amazon.
