i was recently denied life-saving gallbladder removal surgery by my GI specialist due to being "too fat" (i'm 300 lbs and very muscular) and "needing to lose 10 -15 pounds and waiting 2 - 3 months in order to get the surgery". i was then signed up for bariatric weight loss surgery before i could get the gallbladder removal despite the gallstone stuck in the neck of the organ as well as the other stones inside of it causing me to be incapable of keeping down food

i ended up getting the surgery done by a local hospital with far better doctors, but the initial denial had me so defeated. if you are fat and have ever been denied important surgeries, life saving or otherwise, because of your weight, i am so sorry and you should never have to face that. most surgeries are not impacted by weight in the slightest. this is usually an issue with the surgeon's skill as a surgeon.

i was told by every other surgeon i met that weight has no bearing on a laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. at the other hospital i was also told that anesthesia wouldn't work on me or that i wouldn't survive it. yet again i was told by other surgeons that was also not the case. most surgeons worth their paygrade can do these surgeries after just... trying and learning how to work with fat bodies.

i was told by the surgeons and nurses in the ER that it's ridiculous for the other hospital to behave as though fat people will never need surgery of any kind ever throughout their lives, for one reason or another. it's unrealistic. most people will encounter a potential surgery in their life times, no matter their weight and it's unprofessional to just give up when someone above a certain weight threshold needs help.

my heart goes out to you especially if you're trans, intersex, gnc, and queer and have been denied top surgery or other gender affirming care surgeries because of your weight. this is also medically unethical and done for no reason other than fatphobic transphobic bias. you do not need to lose weight to get top or bottom surgery.

take care of yourself. my heart goes out to you and you don't deserve this treatment at all

Republican AGs Issue Unsettling Demand For More Pregnant Teens

A group of Republican AGs asserted an unsettling right to pregnant teens in a new filing in their ongoing mifepristone lawsuit.

3 state attorney generals are suing the federal gov’t, arguing that mail-order abortion drugs cause teenage girls to have less babies, which loweres how much congressional representation their states can have as well as lower tax funds to the states.

Furthermore, they argue the state is a stand-in for parents and can control foster care AND juvenile detainees medical care. Which means they can take children from their parents and force them to go theough with unwanted pregnancies. The state can force teen girls to become breeders for the state.

Made this beauty to serve for tomorrow. Absolutely delicious. My mom loves the dark ganache icing and I love the apricot jam between he layers.

I did something different from the recipe and I think it turned out better. There are other alterations I'd like to make and will add to the recipe as a separate way to prepare this.

Nevarran Hazlenut Torte

Cake: 1 ½ cups (225g) Sugar 2 cups (320g) Finely Ground Hazelnuts ¾ cups (111g) Sifted Flour 2 tsp (8g) Baking Powder 8 Eggs Separate White

What I did differently...

The things I did differently in my first bake was. I divided the sugar between the cake and the icing. That way the icing isn't so bitter. I did not use all the apricot jam, more like 2/3 of it (same with the icing). I also toasted about 112g of hazelnuts and chopped them for the decoration. Toasting the hazelnuts gives a deeper flavor.

i need everyone to consider vivienne and dorian bonding over taking care of the inquisitor after the end of dragon age inquisition as the mark progressively gets worse and worse. vivienne with her past of watching bastien get sicker and sicker and dorian doing the same with felix, and seeing it repeat with the inquisitor. take my hand 🖐,,

Heya! Idk if you’ve already answered this but what do you use to make your colors so cohesive and kinda linocut-ish? Your art is so cool, it gives me so much inspo ✨✨💛

Thank you for asking! <3 I never know how to make tutorials/how to explain how exactly I do things, but I post GIF walkthroughs ocassionally, so hopefully these are helpful at all? :D I stream my process regularly at https://www.twitch.tv/jaglane too! A big part of the texture/traditional feel my art has is the traditional, pencil sketch I often use as a base for my works, but I'm not always doing it. Here are two examples of two recent arts of mine that were done partly traditionally:

Sometimes I do everything digitally and just try to mimic the effect, but my fully digital style is slightly different, less textured/rough. Here are two examples of that, you can see the initial lines are completely different!

I hope this helps a bit, thank you for your kind words <3
