Going to hazard it's not a great sign for your obvious party nominee when a substantially non-zero portion of your own party's voters come out to make a point of informing everyone that they are not voting for you, even if they have done so multiple times previously, and pledge to support the incumbent president of the opposite party if/when you win the nomination.

#hilary for ts #politics for ts #we literally knew from the jump that trump would be the nominee #that’s not a surprise #what strikes me from IA and now NH is that there *are* a minority (but not insignificant amount) of republican voters who Are Not Doing It #which... etc etc republicans usually rally around the standard #but also the haley voters seem pretty determined they're not going back to trump #88% of NH haley voters would not support trump being the nominee #now look haley sucks #but she sucks in an establishment republican way #and not a trump way #so it does seem empirically inarguable that trump has in fact gone too far for plenty of core GOP voters #and that winning the ever dwindling amount of cult votes (as expected) will not help in the GE #meanwhile biden cruised to victory despite not even being on the ballot #can we get rid of dean phillips now lol #anyway etc etc tea leaves but i think it is interesting this has happened twice in a row #trump is bitterly toxic to everyone who is not still a devoted cultist #and they seem ready to stand behind this #which i will cautiously optimistically bode as a good sign for november #we will see

An NHS Trust is investigating accusations that pro-Palestine nurses denied a nine-year-old Jewish boy care.

Elliott Smus, who is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday about an alleged incident at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital involving his young nephew, who suffers from a rare blood disorder.

Mr Smus said that his nephew, who has suffered with his condition for most of his life, requires a blood transfusion every month or two, spending up to days in hospital for treatment.

He said that his nephew is from a religious Jewish family and wears a kippah and tzitzit, clothing typically worn by orthodox Jewish males.

But he claimed that the child was “kicked out of his bay” by nurses wearing “Free Palestine” badges and forced “to lie on the floor with a canula in”.

As a result, Mr Smus said that his nephew is now scared that if he wears clothing that identifies him as visibly Jewish, he will not receive treatment.

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust has launched an investigation.

Incident was ‘horrendous’

Countdown presenter Rachel Riley, who is Jewish, described the alleged incident as “horrendous” and called on Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, and the NHS to investigate “with urgency”.

Mr Smus, who has been contacted for comment, said on social media: “As a religious Jewish family, my nephew wears his black kippah (yamulka, religious hat whatever you want to call it) and his tzitzit proudly.

“Not today. Why you ask? The nurses (NHS employees) are all walking around wearing “Free Palestine” pins and he was scared.

“Beyond that, the last few times he went in he was denied correct medical care by the same couple of nurses every time.

“This culminated the last time he went in, when my visibly Jewish nine-year-old nephew, with an autoimmune blood disease was kicked out of his bay by one of the nurses who was covered in pro-Palestine badges and stickers, and had to lie on the floor with a canula in.

“Now the damage is done and my proudly Jewish nephew (and his parents) is scared to not get treatment if he wears his kippah and tzitzit.

“Coincidentally, today when not visibly Jewish, he received quick care. Also worth noting, prior to the conflict he received excellent care.

“It is terrifying to be a Jew in the world again.”

Anti-Semitism at all-time high

The Community Security Trust, which records anti-Semitic incidents in the UK, said that anti-Semitism hit an all-time high in 2023 in an “explosion of hatred” following the Hamas terror attacks on Israel.

The charity said the surge in anti-Jewish attacks, threats and abuse amounted to a “celebration” of Hamas’s Oct 7 massacre by anti-Semites whose own hatred was fuelled by the brutality of the attacks.

Its annual report said that there were 4,103 anti-Semitic incidents in the UK in 2023, nearly double the previous record in 2021, covering all types of “hate” against Jewish people.

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust said: “We are aware of images and very serious claims which are circulating on social media.

“We are rapidly investigating these to establish the situation and are discussing them with the family involved. Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is committed to providing high-quality care to all patients.”

Mr Burnham said: “I have seen the troubling reports shared on social media and have asked the Royal Children’s Hospital to launch an urgent investigation. No one should feel treated differently in our hospitals because of their race or religion. I’ve asked the hospital management to provide regular updates as they gather the facts.”

The "be kind" "right side of history."

Let's put aside for a moment that it's unethical for medical professionals to be wearing political paraphernalia of any variety.

Whether or not the accusation is true, literally nobody doubts that people who are pro-Hamas and support Islamic terrorism are completely capable of this kind of atrocity.

I am not a nie brothers scholar nor a jgy scholar so idk how to properly put these thoughts together, but I think it's unfair to act like nie huaisang would've tried to break up nieyao. what makes the tragedy and betrayal so delicious is that meng yao was his friend. in cql, he's visibly really worried about him and is pacing outside while nmj decides to kick him out. in the novels, jgy was constantly showering nhs with gifts tailored to his interests. nie huaisang liked him and trusted him, and that ultimately makes what happens later far more interesting than if he had hated him the whole time

#mdzs #i saw an incorrect quotes about nhs breaking up nieyao and i was like man... he wouldnt though #if anything he wouldve been their number one supporter back in the day #bc he wouldve thought he was a good influence on his brother #it's not until later that... well... everything goes so horribly #i think it actually really says something about nie huaisang #that he was able to look at this person who had once been his friend #and so completely unravel his life #because he was responsible for the death of his brother #people like to label themselves antis or apologists for these two #me personally? im putting them both in a jar and shaking them around #they are FASCINATING to me. i need to study them like bugs

People saying on that NHS post there’s nothing we can do til 2024...

Voting is not the only way to influence the country you live in. In many ways, it’s the least effective way.

If you vote IDK, Labour, and think job done, you’re part of the problem.

The number one thing you can do to help save the NHS right now is to support the nurse’s strike, and the junior doctor’s strike. Will the aims of these unions solve the whole problem? Obviously not. But supporting the strikes sends a general message to the government about who’s side “the public” are on, and what the public will accept.

Things you can do to support the strikes:

1) Donate to strike funds. Long term strikes struggle, because people don’t get paid. Many nurses can’t afford to save much on their current wage. Many doctors come out of med school with crippling commercial debt and not in a good financial state. These things make it hard to strike. So if you can help people go on strike for more days, that’s super important.

2) Visit picket lines. Picket lines are in effect protests- if you’d go on a protest march for the NHS, then go and visit the picket line. Talk to whoever’s on the picket line and offer your soldiarity and support. This makes a huge different to striking workers. If you can bring those on the picket line hot drinks or snacks, this will likely be super appreciated!

3) Post about your support for the strikes on your social media. The mainstream media are trying to run with the message “no-one” supports the strikes. You can help combat this.

4) Similar to the above, phone in to talk radio, write letters to newspapers expressing your support of the strikes.

5) Challenge people who criticise the strikes. E.g. if someone says “They’re putting people at risk by striking” you can say “the Tories are putting the NHS at risk of collapse, so they have to do something”.

I’m sure those nurses who have been on strike will have more to add, as they’re the ones facing this directly!

me, before realizing what was going on and starting the diagnosis process: goddammit! I got distracted again. what's wrong with me!! and why I'm not understanding shit?! the argument is simple. why is everything confusing?

me, after the realization: adhd, behave! we need to hear this. I know this dude is boring, the argument is boring, but we need to make an effort. autism... I know, I know. they're confusing and not following a logical narrative pattern. we'll ask ALL the questions after.

#I read that for some people the realization was a curse more than anything #not for me though #after 38 yrs of total and utter self flagellation it was a relief #to finally understand #I don't have the instruments to actually help myself now #because diagnosis is still in process and only after I can access the NHS support therapies #last day I cried at a video on ADHD life on instagram #I felt an outcast all my life #out there now there are people like me #thank you all for all your sharing #adhd #add #autism #neurodivergent

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality

#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh #like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good #but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees #the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support #and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well #like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people #maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a #whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously #women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women #or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak #like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years #but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people #i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse #drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so* #and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles #+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries #and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation #isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote #*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now #and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad #but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing #and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this. #love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol

[palevulture]

the physical nonhuman community is genuinely in a bad state and i don't think it will ever be fixed until people learn to stop being losers over semantics and accept people as they come (provided they're not the uwu im an alpha werewolf demigod type we all despise) or until actual scientific research gets put into our existances... which will likely never happen. (hey remember how in 2012 there was supposed to be a big reveal of nonhumans to humans? what happened to that lol)

like. genetics only get us so far. they do not explain mythic shifters like mermaids, dragons, etc, or even prey shifters (how would prey shifter lines survive?)

but yet. nonhumans unexplained by genetics exist. you can jump thru as many hoops as possible - there is no genetic explanation for *some* nonhumans. or, you can go the worst route (shecuntmode) of "no shifters except wolves and some other predatory mammals exist" which is also fucking bullshit because if they don't exist.... why do they. why do they exist. no really, explain to me how nonhumans i can verify as real exist when they are supposed to not exist. u can't. congratz. you have seen the flaws in your argument.

genetic only explanations are palatable because it's what makes sense, yeah? it gives some credibility, yeah? but it is unsustainable and only causes infighting and genuinely harmful beliefs and cults to form.

yes. your "genetic only" belief is just as harmful and prone to cults as the "anything is possible" / "anyone can shift" belief is.

bad people exist and champion both sets of beliefs. one belief as for why or how we exist is not superior - i have met people on both sides who are nonhuman thru and thru. I've also met fakes and wannabes on both sides.

idk man. use like, basic understanding and deduction skills here. it's not that difficult to ensure that we both stop infighting over shit neither side can prove 100% that applies to all nonhumans, while also keeping people who are lying for that nonexistant shifter clout out of the community.

#vulturephone #pshifter #<- still hate this tag lol #physical nonhuman #btw if u r reading this: no i am not a cultist nor do i support cults. my belief of being physically nonhuman is my own and harms no one. #nh #pnh

Ngl, its very concerning that people somehow think Rishi Sunak’s idea of charging people a £10 fine if they miss an appointment at their GP/hospital, is somehow a good idea, cause...these people really like the idea of people having to pay money even if they tried to make it to the appointment but something made them miss it. 

#rishi sunak #uk politics #like y'all really do like to kiss tory's feet in the end dont you #this isnt a good idea #yes i do get the idea its cause people waste slots others could get #but fining people over it??? when people are ALREADY struggling with money in the UK??? #yeah uh all this will do is just make people paranoid of appointments #cause most people probably have reasons to miss the appointments and such #but also people are getting appointments face to face??? my GP is still on phone mainly wtf #am i gonna get fined cause they took their sweet time phoning me and i miss a call?? #and dont buy that rishi cares about the NHS- he just wants to find a way to charge people more money to go to the goverment #and bonus middle finger to the guy who suggested we fine people for calling ambulances for minor injuries #like tory scum- both torys and supporters

breaking out of my art block silence to declare I STARTED TESTOSTERONE TODAY!!!!!!!!!

#big thank you to my gp for getting me shared care like what do you mean i only have to pay £9.65!!! #not even being sarcastic I’ve fully WON!!! #LOVE YOUUUUUUU NHS LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!!!!! #and my mates are so supportive and my uni is so supportive my family issues seem so small all of a sudden right now #my entire family is like eleven people. I’ve decided I will live happily and deal with the consequences quite frankly #life is SO SLAY

Meanwhile, in politics, Rishi Sunak is presiding over an NHS so stripped of funds and resources that the nurses are coming out on strike (the NHS is, of course, still waiting for its backdated cheques for £350 million a week since the UK left the EU as promised by professional shitweasel, Boris Johnson). Nurses striking is unprecedented. It has never happened before. This is a vocation, not just a profession, and they can't afford to live. Nurses (and doctors and other health professionals) died during the worst of covid, trying to keep others alive. Others worked themselves to exhaustion and beyond. The NHS was collectively awarded the George Cross, the highest honour for valour outside of warfare in the UK, and daily lauded as essential and courageous and they cannot afford to live on their salaries. They certainly can't live on the weekly Thursday night applause they got during lockdown.

I can't tell you what our current government is doing about all this because as far as I can tell it is nothing but platitudes and handwringing and trying to convince us that this is somehow EXACTLY WHAT PUTIN WANTS.

Honestly, I'm getting secondhand embarrassment just from writing that.
