That white circle you see on the right is the massive growth inside my spinal cord. I am currently losing feeling in my arms, and I am suffering with chronic pain every. single. day.
I desperately need surgery to get this growth removed. If I do not do so in time, then I will die.
But good news! I have a colleague in Vermont willing to operate on me to save my life. But I need help. I am begging you all to signal boost this because I am running out of time. Please, I beg of you, help in any way you can. Reblog this post, share it, and if you are able to, please donate.

After over a week of protesting to block mayor Garcetti’s nomination to the Biden cabinet, local police attacked non-violent protesters, including legal observers. After immense public backlash, the police were notably absent the next morning and the numbers of protesters increased.
pls give me 1(one) reason aces have ever been oppressed, and 1(one) example of aces being a part of lgbt history(before 2004 at least) and then maybe i’ll consider the idea that aces belong in the lgbt community lol
Severe Complication Requiring Additional Surgery

I truly do regret to inform you all that I had a really bad accident and further injured my neck. I now require a vertebroplasty to stabilize my already compromised cervical spine. This is in addition to the planned arthroplasty, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, and surgical excision of my spinal growths. My medical bills are beginning to overwhelm me, and I am not going to receive any professional aid until December. At this point, I will have to increase the amount of my fundraising goal. I am under so much stress, and this doesn't even include the stress of moving 2,200 across the country to be closer to my surgeon.
I desperately need help.
I beg of you all to please share this. Here on tumblr, on twitter, or even reddit. Wherever you think it'll get traction, please. I have just begun to make payments for the operations I've already had, and the crushing weight of my medical debt is giving me panic attacks. All donations are incredibly appreciated, and every penny is literally saving my life.
HOW MANY LIKES CAN WE GET FOR OUR BRAVE MEN IN UNIFORM KEEPING AMERICA SAFE
Hello! I would like to warn everyone of an experience my roommate and I have just had, in case I can prevent it happening to anyone else. Or, you know, if anyone knows a lawyer who could advise us.
My roommate has a queen size Nectar mattress. Friday night, she spilled some water on the bed and took the cover off to air dry. She unzipped the cover, and a flame retardant sleeve (that we hadn’t known was there to begin with) made of woven fiberglass began shedding small fiberglass particles. They were airborne. The whole room and everything in it is contaminated, and there are few surfaces elsewhere in the apartment that don’t have at least a little. Nowhere on the mattress' tags or on the Nectar website does it say there is a fiberglass sleeve. In fact, it makes a big deal of how there are five components: top of cover, three layers of foam, bottom of cover. Nothing about the flame retardant sleeve there. The label on the cover doesn't say you can't take it off, just that they suggest you don't. It does not mention fiberglass as a material found in the mattress at all. The website even has a page explaining that you CAN take off the cover and wash it, if you must, just that they suggest you don't. No real reasons given. No mention of fiberglass.
Our apartment is sparkly with fiberglass. We have had to drop money on a HEPA filter vacuum that could safely remove some of it, and on new non-permeable mattress covers to contain the worst of the source. We have had to garbage-bag up almost everything in her room. No amount of runs through the laundry seems to get it all out of clothes, and we have to thoroughly wipe out the washer and dryer drums every load. All her pillows were ruined, the chair in her room, her clothing, some expensive bras, a nice area rug, and I'm sure there will be trouble on the horizon with our landlord regarding the carpet, even if we do vacuum it as well as we can.
Lilly has been having nosebleeds, before the mattress was unzipped, but the worst one I've seen yet was the one that evening. She's been sleeping on it almost a year, and it could have begun coming through the fabric cover. Nosebleeds are a sign of fiberglass inhalation.
We have contacted the company, and their response was honestly insulting. We were told that we shouldn't have taken the mattress cover off to begin with, and that it can no longer be covered by the 365 night guarantee, despite us having had it for under the full year. I have just now, after three days trying, finally spoken to someone willing to look into our case, so here's hoping we'll get even a fraction of what we are, frankly, owed.
It really feels like there could be some sort of lawsuit here.
In fact, there is one, with a situation nearly identical to ours but with a different company. This was the first hit when I searched our problem online.

Anyway, if you have a Nectar mattress, don't ever open the easily accessible warning-label-free zipper! If you have had it under a year, and it's in its original condition, it can still be returned. If you were planning to get one, maybe don't! A lot of the foam-mattress-in-a box types have the fiberglass, though most of them disclose the presence of the fiberglass rather than hiding it like a dirty secret. Make sure you do a search for mattresses WITHOUT fiberglass as a flame retardant.
