So Minnesotans showed the fuck up tonight (like we do) – thousands in the street protesting tr*mp’s latest executive disorders. And guess what happened? The old proverb “What if an emergency vehicle needs to get where it’s going” came to life, and the sea went silent and parted to allow it through (swiftly…literally the truck was going about as fast as, if not faster than, it would have been if there had been cars it needed to go around).

Please share this. This was a rare occurrence where an emergency vehicle needed to go through the route of a protest, when usually they have predetermined alternative routes, and it went completely fine. Also for the love of god, have more respect for firefighters/EMTs…they know how to do their jobs. They’re ready for anything, including working around protests.

So folks can stop using that tired old argument now (not that it was ever backed up by sources anyway).

It’s almost as though these protesters who are protesting for human rights are decent human people.

I have 20 units of insulin left, and that will last me like 2 days and I still dont have my insurance card yet so I’m fucking panicking. Idk what I’m going to do because I can’t afford insulin right now and without it, I’m going to die.

hey, uh – if anyone can, would you please consider donating to my boyfriend?? there’s not much i can do on my end and im really scared for him…

heres his paypal

and here is his ko-fi

update on this:

medicaid said it could take two weeks to process my papers, and no place here sells insulin over the counter. I’ve been to the e.r in the past, and they just sent me home and didn’t give me insulin.

I’m not gonna last two weeks guys. And I’m really stresed and scared.
