That first article is very sus, and also comes three years after he death in 2017, where it appears she fell off a cliff while walking in the dark after leaving her sister’s house on the Muckleshoot reservation. She had gone missing for a few days at a time several times before. Apparently she had a history of mental health issues, and the police search was incomptent and sluggish; as they statistically are when it comes to women of color (especially Indigenous), which likely played a major role in her death. Her father in 2017 accused a Weinstein associate of raping her at the Golden Globes; she was also assaulted as a child, contributing to her mental health’s status.

But her father himself has layed blame on the rape for the hideous damage on her mental health and racist cops for being so slow and hesitant, not claiming some Weinstein goons did her in. If we’re going to pay respect to a late Indigenous woman, using her as fodder for conspiracy theories isn’t it.

a girl i know told me how a guy she knows once moved out from his parents, ate nothing but fries and meatballs for HALF A YEAR, and got scurvy. imagine the doctor’s face when this guy shows up with like his gums bleeding and the doc has to fucking say DUDE…. THATS SCURVY…. in this day and age

this is turning into a “how a person i know got scurvy” thread and im so here for this, please share your scurvy stories if you have any

the other day someone posted pics from the reddit page r/zerocarbs where these fools only ate meat and 0 vegetables or fruits and all the posts were about various symptoms of scurvy. i died when one literally read ‘i don’t want to start the vitamin C debate again but’

THE VITAMIN C DEBATE

My mother told me all about scurvy when I was five and trying to resist eating pumpkin and let me tell you it’s been 35 years and I still get nervous if I go for two days without eating a green vegetable. 

I told my own little picky eater about scurvy, rickets etc and now one of her most frequently requested lunch items is baby spinach, closely followed by carrots.

I’m not saying everyone should mildly traumatize their children to make them understand that vegetables are vital to ongoing possession of your teeth and organs, but.. no, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Go for it. 

some guys i used to know went on a boys only road trip. they decided they were only going to eat things they could cook on the engine block of the car.

two of them got scurvy. one of them drank so much jagermeister + red bull that he temporarily lost the ability to see in colour.

im sorry he what now
