I get why a lot of people hate the whole princess culture aimed at little girls. There’s a hell of a lot of toxic bullshit in there.
But when I was a tiny princess, my dad used to be my royal advisor. He would come to me, and over tea we would discuss the problems of the kingdom. He would tell me that new people wanted to move to the kingdom, and ask me what we should do. Or he would tell me that the teddybears and the dolls were fighting over the enchanted forest, and ask me what to do. Basically, he took the trappings of the princess culture, and used it as a tool to teach me about leadership, civic responsibility, and compassion.
So if you have a little princess around, consider helping her figure out how to run her kingdom. There’s no sense in telling a kid they can’t be a leader, or that they can’t wear sparkles while they do it.
@NOAASatellites visualization of winds from Hurricane Patricia’s predicted landfall. Look at that eyewall replacement! This thing is terrifying and stunning and, geez, I just hope everyone in its path stays safe.
Basic guide of how to react to the arrival of Patricia.
I am surprised how many people do not know anything about it or heard five minutes ago, you might not live there, but many people do, not only in the marked and state of emergency areas, all nearby should be prepared for anything. We have had many natural disasters here in México before, we do not know how bad it can be .
Share, this information may not serve to you, but many live in the affected area or have family evacuated in areas of risk …. SHARE,SO ANY MEXICAN TUMBLR USER OR WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY DOWN THERE CAN KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Or they live here,just like me.
Over 50.000 people were already evacuated.
This just started, let’s hope it stops soon. Contact all you family and friends,ask them to be prepared.
This basic guide its on spanish, and includes all the emergency numbers from diferent areas around the soon-to-be-affected zone and instruccions of what to do during a huricane. Gonna try to translate it so it can be shared with tourists stuck here… wait for updates….
Guía básica sobre cómo reaccionar a la llegada de Patricia
Me sorprende mucho cuanta gente no sabe nada al respecto o se enteraron hace 5 minutos,puede que no vivas ahí, Pero mucha gente sí, no solo en las areas marcadas y estado de emergencia, todas las cercanías deberían estar preparadas para cualquier cosa. Ya hemos tenido muchos desastres naturales aquí en nuestro país,no sabemos que tan grave se pueda poner. Compartan,puede que a ti no te sirva,pero muchos vivimos en la zona afectada o tenemos familiares evacuados en las zonas de más riesgo… Esto acaba de empezar,esperemos que se detenga pronto.

Desenchufa los aparatos eléctricos
Aléjate de ventanas
para evitar lesiones si éstas se rompen
Si el viento abre una puerta o ventana, no avances hacia ella de manera frontal
Para alumbrar no uses velas, sino linternas o lámparas que funcionen con baterías
Si vives cerca de un río, vigila el nivel del agua
La primera recomendación es conservar la calma.Y también dan las siguientes pautasSi estás en carretera, extrema las precauciones al conducir
No cruces vados y ríos de respuesta rápida, y evita zonas en las que pudiera ocurrir deslaves y desprendimiento de rocas

Asegúrate que los aparatos eléctricos están secos antes de usarlos. Elimina el agua estancada para evitar plagas de mosquitos.
A little edited,I will be editing and posting more stuff. If you have questions or need an specific emergency number from here and don’t know how to get it; just message me! Reblog this one.
Man I hate it when people use the pronoun “you” as a singular pronoun in an informal setting. “You” is plural, unless thou dost speak to an unfamiliar person. The correct singular second person pronoun is “thou” in most cases. Grammar never changes. Pronouns must always stay one way until the end of time. Learn thy proper English. *sigh* Kids these days.
If thou this mistake shouldst make on thine own blog, then know, villain, that thou art a dirty descriptivist, and no friend of mine. Ne’er should language itself alter, it doth remain fixèd as such, untouch’d by change. Wouldst thou, vile descriptivist, that we forget the heritage of our great tongue? Nay, say I. Thou art but a dickhead who sayest so.

How most people with invisible illnesses are treated by health care “professionals”
The Golden Girls didn’t fuck around
pls watch
honestly i really appreciated this scene when I first saw it bc it took me like two years to get a diagnosis for what’s wrong with me
Dorothy: Dr. Budd?
Dr. Budd: Yes?
Dorothy: You probably don’t remember me, but you told me I wasn’t sick. Do you remember? You told me I was just getting old.
Dr. Budd: I’m sorry, I really don’t–
Dorothy: Remember. Maybe you’re getting old. That’s a little joke. Well, I tell you, Dr. Budd, I really am sick. I have chronic fatigue syndrome. That is a real illness. You can check with the Center for Disease Control.
Dr. Budd: Huh. Well, I’m sorry about that.
Dorothy: Well, I’m glad! At least I know I have something.
Dr. Budd: I’m sure. Well, nice seeing you.
Dorothy: Not so fast. There are some things I have to say. There are a lot of things that I have to say. Words can’t express what I have to say. [tearing up] What I went through, what you put me through—I can’t do this in a restaurant.
Dr. Budd: Good!
Dorothy: But I will!
Dr. Budd’s date: Louis, who is this person?
Dr. Budd: Look, Miss–
Dorothy: Sit. I sat for you long enough. Dr. Budd, I came to you sick—sick and scared—and you dismissed me. You didn’t have the answer, and instead of saying “I’m sorry, I don’t know what’s wrong with you,” you made me feel crazy, like I had made it all up. You dismissed me! You made me feel like a child, a fool, a neurotic who was wasting your precious time. Is that your caring profession? Is that healing? No one deserves that kind of treatment, Dr. Budd, no one. I suspect had I been a man, I might have been taken a bit more seriously, and not told to go to a hairdresser.
Dr. Budd: Look, I am not going to sit here anymore–
Dr. Budd’s date: Shut up, Louis.
Dorothy: I don’t know where you doctors lose your humanity, but you lose it. You know, if all of you, at the beginning of your careers, could get very sick and very scared for a while, you’d probably learn more from that than anything else. You’d better start listening to your patients. They need to be heard. They need caring. They need compassion. They need attending to. You know, someday, Dr. Budd, you’re gonna be on the other side of the table, and as angry as I am, and as angry as I always will be, I still wish you a better doctor than you were to me.
This episode gave my mother so much comfort during her struggle to get diagnosed (with fibromyalgia).
my people are dying. assyrians are undergoing another genocide – and honestly the past genocide never really ended. over a century of persecution. a hundred years of massacres, of our land being stolen, of systematic oppression and targeting. two thirds of our global population has been murdered in the last one hundred years. the majority of our population now lives outside of our native homeland in iraq. most governments do not officially recognise that we exist, or our right to our homeland of ancient assyria. it has taken tragedy of horrific proportions for us to gain any recognition. we continue to be erased – left completely unmentioned in many articles and discussions even as our culture and heritage is actively being destroyed, even as our people die protecting what is left; or mentioned only as ‘iraqi christians’ and so with our ethnic identity ignored we are reduced to pawns in racist and islamophobic wars and discussions by the west and daesh. yes we as a community are christian, but that is not all we are. we are a distinct and ancient ethnic group and whilst daesh and western christians want to call this a religious war, and indeed daesh’s general actions are the result of exported waahabism, this is not a religious war for us and i will not allow my people to be used as tools to spread further racism against various middle eastern ethnic groups and islamophobia (or antisemitism). we are middle eastern. we are poc. the genocide against us is ethnic in origin and continuing many years of attempted ethnic cleansing against us. we are native, indigenous to the land and yet even as we make up only an estimated 3% of iraq’s current population assyrians make up to 40% of the emmigrating population. there are large diaspora communities in such unstable countries as syria. many of the older generation have resigned themselves sadly to losing what is left of their culture and heritage, calling iraq history. even as we fight and hold onto hope, our screams could be the death rattle of our people.
in the last week our ancient city of nimrud has been razed to the ground; an assyrian genocide memorial has been vandalised; artifacts of our culture and heritage continue to be destroyed; tens of assyrians have been murdered; and turkey has upped it’s hateful denial of the seyfo massacre. an assryian church was bombed on easter weekend.
since i first posted this several more monuments to assyrian genocide have been vandalised in several different countries, and tens more assyrians have been killed – included two important community leaders and officials. our people continue to be murdered, chased from our land, our towns and villages destroyed, our history and culture our heritage erased.
since my last reblog of this yet more assyrian heritage has been destroyed, more assyrians have been kidnapped and are being held hostage including many women and children, and several assyrian leaders have been murdered.
this is still happening. as a person of m.e descent raised in an assyrian household, this devastates me. this is a genocide.
