ANTI-NAUSEA TIPS:

nanrie:

yeahh0lly:

  • cool air (wind, fan, direct AC)
  • ginger ale, ginger gum
  • MINT GUM has helped me so much. chewing gum also releases gas in your stomach, immediately taking away nausea sometimes
  • smelling keys (i heard as a kid)
  • smelling lemons, oranges, limes
  • LAYING DOWN (if you can) helps a bunch. on your back.
  • i listen to calm music, that helps the anxiety
  • smelling something clean, fresh washed clothes
  • push your pressure points in your wrist. 3 finger widths down, hold down your two tendons for about 30 seconds and then switch, or purchase sea-bands. it will cut off blood to a nerve area in the back of your stomach that will settle it. aside from mint gum i have found this to be the next most effective

what will make it worse:

  • smelling food (try to go somewhere away from food)
  • moving a lot
  • HEAT 

please message me if you need someone to talk to. i have awful anxiety and talking to someone who understands seems to help a bit. good luck guys. fight hard xx

these are all good! i was a very nauseous child and these are things i did to feel relief. also whenever I’d feel sick drinking water would sometimes make me feel worse, but chewing/sucking on ice cubes always did the trick (related to the cold thing).

Net Neutrality Update – Our Last Chance

So I haven’t seen anything on this subject in quite some time, but I am subscribed to FreePress’ email newsletter where they keep people updated.

Guys, the battle for the net isn’t over yet, just because you don’t see any more posts on it. This text is copy-pasted from the update email I received.


The Net Neutrality repeal is about to become official. The FCC is expected to publish its Net Neutrality rollback in the Federal Register tomorrow, which means that Congress will be able to examine the rules and move forward with a vote to reverse them. This also means that we have a limited amount of time to get all of our elected officials on board to save the open internet — but we have a plan to get there.

Millions of people have spoken out against the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal because they recognize how important the open internet is for racial justice, free expression, innovation and economic opportunity. The momentum we’ve seen has been grassroots and creative, and gives us hope for the future.

Here’s a recap of what’s happened since the FCC’s vote:

• Legislation that would enforce Net Neutrality has popped up all over the country.
• We filed one of the very first lawsuits to overturn the FCC’s Net Neutrality-killing vote and at least 22 state attorneys general are also suing the FCC.
• Burger King (yes, that Burger King!) created an ad explaining Net Neutrality.
• Team Internet activists have been showing up outside their members of Congress’ offices all over the country to tell them to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to undo the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal.
• The pressure people are putting on Congress is working: Members have been signing on to support the CRA effort to save the open internet left and right. We’re just 1 vote away from winning a CRA vote in the Senate — but we have our work cut out for us in the House.
• Along with our allies at #BattlefortheNet, we’re gearing up for another internet-wide day of action to save the open internet…

On Feb. 27, we’ll launch Operation #OneMoreVote, a massive day of action to secure the final Senate vote needed to undo the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal. Will you join us?

On this day, internet users, small businesses, online communities, public-interest groups and popular websites will mobilize to flood lawmakers with calls, emails and tweets. Our goal: to secure the final vote in the Senate needed to pass a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the FCC’s Net Neutrality repeal. We need your help to make this happen: RSVP to join us online on Feb. 27.

There are a ton of ways you can take part in Operation #OneMoreVote, ranging from changing your profile photo, to tweeting and calling your members of Congress and spreading the word. Everything helps.

See you online on Feb. 27th!

I’m not even sure how I can help with this since I’m not American 

I’m sure I’ve signed stuff in the past, but I’ve always been aware of how it probably makes no difference with me not being an American citizen? 

I’ll reblog this, but if anybody knows what I can do, please let me know!

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

No no no! Jewish LGBTQ kinderlach! Go to Keshet! 

hoperemains is completely from a Christian perspective, and not pluralistic or interfaith at all.

If you reblogged the first post from me please reblog this amendment so the Jewish peeps can access this resource too! 

Trans Jewish kids, you can go to TransTorah as well!

Muslim LGBTQ kids, you can go to iamnotharaam! It’s run by a mod squad of different genders and orientations, and they take submissions from everybody!

MAY ANYONE WHO REBLOGS THIS BE ELEVATED TO THE EQUIVALENT OF SAINTHOOD IN THEIR RELIGION BLESS ALL OF YOU OH MY GOD.

REBLOGGING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE IT’S SO FREAKING IMPORTANT TO ME AND ALL MY FOLLOWERS TO READ THAT DEAL WITH GRIEF AND GUILT WHILE BEING LGBTQ AND RELIGIOUS

starlightomatic:

For anyone planning any type of school/community/club/activist event or party, the first two nights of Passover this year (2018) are:

Friday night 3/30

Saturday night 3/31

Most Jews won’t be able to attend events on these nights. Passover is one of the most important Jewish holidays, and most Jews will be attending a communal meal with their families or communities on these two nights.

Please avoid scheduling important events then, just as it would be inappropriate to schedule important events on Christmas Eve.

In addition, most Jews avoid products containing wheat, barley, etc during Passover, which begins (as mentioned above) on Friday night 3/30 and ends in the evening of Saturday 4/7. While it is okay (though not ideal) to schedule events during that week, if you are and the main food/drink involves cookies, bread, pasta, flour, cake, beer, etc, please provide an alternate food for Jewish participants.

Please reblog, even if you’re not Jewish yourself! Thank you 💙
