I have been saying this for at least a decade now but I've never liked the way people treated Kanye's very obvious mental illness as a joke, until he went too far and became irredeemable. Like it was warning sign after warning sign for over fifteen years and everyone just went "Haha, that's Kanye! Always saying some crazy shit!" I have never seen a celebrity who more obviously needed medication and treatment, but it was all just treated like a joke.
And then when he finally went totally bonkers and started saying barely coherent racist shit to Alex Jones, suddenly he's an anathema, as if this isn't the result of being very very sick for years and years while everyone around you continues to hype you up and treat you like a god while you refuse to take your meds. Yes, he said some awful irredeemable shit on that podcast and shouldn't be able to have a career after that.
But if you actually watch the episode, it is impossible to see a guy who simply turned racist and not someone who is completely unstable and should absolutely not be recorded for the public while he's in that state. For fuck's sake, he showed up like this:
Tumblr media
And he said some awful shit! That shouldn't be forgiven! But he also said he thought his mom (who died from surgery complications) was a human sacrifice. Along with Michael Jordan's dad. He blamed all of this on Zionists and satan. Does this, in all honesty, sound like a person who is any condition to be recorded for a multi-million follower podcast right now? But because he's Kanye, until this moment, he pretty much got to do whatever he wanted and go on whatever show he chose, because no one was saying "Hey maybe we shouldn't let this guy run off his mouth on the air." It's Kanye! Who's gonna pass up that publicity?
I'm not excusing his behavior on the show (or any of his past behavior). I'm just saying that it's frustrating to me to see how little understanding people have always seemed to have towards the fact that this man is sick and has needed a lot more help than he's ever gotten. If you take all his bullshit in the context of "Guy who has badly needed treatment for decades but was surrounded by yes men instead" I think his actions make a lot more sense. It doesn't make them good or excusable actions, but it makes it obvious that this isn't as simple as "dude goes down anti-semitism pipeline." And it KILLS me that people are acting like this was just a "mask off" moment where he reveals that he's racist, when the reality is way more complicated than that.
I don't know if he's a good person. I don't know if he actually believes any of the shit he says, if he actually believes worse, or if this was 100% delusion that Alex Jones just happened catch on camera. I have no idea. But I do know that no one in that studio stepped in to stop that recording from happening, and that makes me uncomfortable.

Can I have one where the reader needs an injection because of an alien sickness or the alien atmosphere does something to humans. However, the reader is terrified, absolutely terrified, of needles and the doctor has to chase/talk her down so she'll get it. Sorry if it's an annoying request
I really like this request. A lot. I'm not sure why. So I am going to try as usual to give my best. Tell me what you think. -----------------------------------------------------It was bound to catch up with you eventually, you were after all, human. All that travel, the foreign substances and alien bacteria. You were sure to eventually fall ill. You ignored the niggling worry in the back of your mind that something was off. You didn't want him to know you were sick. Because while he was called The Doctor, you weren't sure you wanted him fussing over you. And prior to meeting the brown haired, suit clad Galifreyan you had an affinity for avoiding doctors at all costs. Standing before the royal court of a planet over grown with otherworldly flowers and creatures unknown you felt the clammy sweat come over you again. It had been coming in waves since you exited the TARDIS doors but they were coming quicker and in heavier effect over the passing minutes. The Doctor had yet to have noticed, excitedly discussing the rich plant life and its molecular properties and benefits to the strange inhabitants here. He was speaking quickly, black thick framed glasses on his nose as he studied the different flora and mumbled to himself in wonder and awe. He was wonderful when he was being clever and working things out in his brilliant mind. At last he turned to you with that white toothy smile that made you weak in the knees usually, but since you were beginning to feel inhumanly weak you merely attempted to grin back. And in a split second his long dark blue suit clad legs brought him to wear you stood and his long fingered hands were braced on your biceps. His thick brows furrowed as he studied you and then placed a hand on your forehead. His lips mashed together in a grimace as he noted your condition. "You're not well, are you? You're burning up. Humans can't have high fevers. We've got to get you fixed up." He answered, turning from you and rubbing his hands together. The blue, glowing Queen stood from her perch and gestured to a vine archway to her left. "Take her there. We can begin treatment." She answered in an ethereal sing song voice. You were grateful and gave her a polite nod in thanks. The Doctor then pulled out his sonic from his pocket and ran it over your face and neck, the buzzing and blue light comforting. Surely, whatever was ailing you was an easy fix. "________, go rest for a moment. I'm going to pop into the TARDIS. See if she's got some sort of immunity or tonic for you." He said, his warm brown eyes searching yours, the concern and ache still in his ancient brown eyes. It made you feel worst that he's realized you were unwell. You'd hoped maybe he wouldn't and you could be back in the ship before whatever was wrong took further toll or did too much damage. Clearly, it was too late. Turning to the Queen he said, "Don't treat her with your potions. I fear they might worsen her condition. If you have it, give her a saline solution. It should keep her hydrated until I find the right trick." He told the Queen and she nodded regally. You pressed your hand against his blue jacket and were beginning to tell him thank you when suddenly, everything became foggy. You felt like your stomach was burning and your skin was ferociously hot, as if it were burning in the sun although the Court was dark and moist like a rainforest. Pain shot through your temples and your cried out not of your own volition. He turned and your fingers tugged hard on the material of the blue coat. Then all at once, your fingers let go and you were falling. The pain and pressure in your head and stomach were increasing and you thought to yourself, 'this is it. This is how I die. Oh but it was well worth it'."_________!!" Your name was a broken cry on his firm voice as you slid downwards and his long arms encased you. You were out but in a jerky panic he brushed the hair from your forehead and he fingered the soft spot under your jaw to check your pulse. Mouth set in a firm line he knew the TARDIS infirmary would have the best medicine. He also knew it was a good distance from the Court at the center of the dense lush forest. He didn't want to chance carrying you that far and lose you. No. He couldn't even wrap his mind around the idea. Without a word you floated from his arms and into a bed of wildflowers where the Queen would watch over you. The Doctor took off at a run, his red converse carrying him across the wet muddy ground, branches and vines catching his cheek and suit now and again. The pain was finally gone and you were sleeping soundly and comfortably, saline solution pumping into the mist and absorbing into your skin. But it wasn't enough. The TARDIS had just the right treatment for you, a shot with an antihistamine and rehydration solution combined with an agent to immune you to the heavy elements generated in the photosynthesis of the plants. Bearing the capped shot in one hand, he strode purposefully back to the Court, an ache in jos chest and a fear in his hearts he'd not wished to acknowledge. He couldn't lose another one, not someone else because he was selfish and didn't think how alien elements might affect the human nervous system. When you felt wakefulness seeping back into your conscious, you still felt as if you'd been run over by a large truck, backed over and then like it had spun its tires on you when pulling off for good measure. With a groan you opened your eyes and saw the spikes brown hair, perfectly chiseled face and worried dark brown eyes of the Doctor. Everything was fuzzy and god did everything hurt but here he was, coming to rescue you. And in that moment you mustered a small smile. His returning one reached his eyes where they crinkled at the corners because it was a fantastic feeling to have you look at him like you were his saving grace. With ease he pulled the cap from the syringe and in your fevered state you instantly panicked. No. Not that, anything but a shot. The needle glimmered in the evening light and your heart began to race, your fever pitching. Lips trembling you tried to form words, tried to tell him no. When you realized it wasn't working, nothing was, you flung all of your weight from the flower bed. "________, no. Don't do that. It's just-" the Doctor said but you couldn't stay so with what little bit of life you had in you, you ran. A part of you knew you were acting crazy because a fever will do that to a person and every bit of inner strength in your body was fighting off the poison from the atmosphere but beyond reason you looked behind you and kept running ahead, with no direction. You just needed somewhere dark and quiet, somewhere he could never find you. It would hurt, it always did. His hands would be too hard, the liquid would burn you and you'd cry and cry and he'd see and tell you get over it. The face of the handsome Doctor in the blue suit was blurring with the mean gruff man that had been your Doctor as a child and your legs continued to shake as you ran on with new vigor. It felt like regenerating, like the sun was still trapped inside burning his two hearts so hot he thought he'd explode from the pain. You'd never looked at him that way, had never feared him or made him feel like a monster, until this very moment. It had frozen him for a moment, as he relived the trembling of your sweet lips and the pale gray terror coloring your skin. He could practically feel you shaking still, to his core. It hurt, but he knew if he didn't go after you, if he let this forest or its creatures claim your life that pain would be far more than he could bear. Tongue between his teeth and steely resolve in those eyes that told stories with feeling better than any author of any age, he set off to track his beloved companion. The Doctor found you unconscious again underneath a tree and though it broke him to see you so lifeless and still, it also gave him calm. You'd be much easier to treat if you weren't all there. As if you were a wild lioness that might stir he crept to where you lay and snuck close to you. He eased down and pressed a kiss to your temple at the exact moment the needle broke your skin's surface at your wrist. He pulled back and waited, but you didn't wake up. Although he'd nearly choked on the idea of you arising and cursing his name for touching you with your worst fear, he'd have greatly preferred that to your lifeless form on the wet ground. He was quiet and serious, no emotion filled his voice as he stiffly carried you, past the Queen of the forest planet and to the TARDIS. Laying you in the infirmary bed he paced and bit the pad of his thumb, one hand in his pocket. Then he walked out, entering the center of the control room and fumbling with the knobs to appear busy. He didn't want to be there when you awoke. You were alive and well for the first time in, well, you really weren't sure how long. You stretched languidly and stood up wiping your face and running your fingers down your hair. Feeling icky from fevered sweets you changed clothes and showered in the powder room the space ship magically provided. Then you sought out your friend, your favorite person in all of time and space, the Doctor. You supposed he was meant to be difficult to find, that perhaps he was hiding from you. But the TARDIS you supposed really liked you because you stumbled upon his library after a corridor shortened to make it the only doorway at the end. You found it dark inside and he was standing beside a table, single lamp lit with his glasses on. A part of you felt like he probably wasn't reading whatever lay in front of those very sad brown eyes. When he looked up at you, the pained expression he wore was enough to stop your stride, but you didn't let it. You carried on and when you were close enough you wrapped your arms around his long thin torso. "Thank you." You whispered and he looked down at you in surprise, take aback and unable to return your embrace just yet."You want to go home, then?" He asked solemnly and you jumped away from him in surprise."What? No. No of course not." You answered and he tugged his left ear shyly. "I'm afraid of needles you daft alien man! Not you. You're not the big bad you once were. You're the Doctor. And you bloody well acted like it when I needed you most. I'm so thankful. And embarrassed." You told him firmly, arms crossed over your chest and heated gaze in your eyes. Finally, after a long pause, he smiled again, that brilliant perfect smile that squinted those dark brown eyes and you could see the light returning in them. He reached for you, pulling you by your forearm and tucking you close to his chest, his hand brushing through your hair. "You're amazing, __________. Absolutely brilliant." He whispered softly, holding you tighter with his twin heartbeats filling your ears.

It has been ages since I was blogging regularly and I can’t even remember the last time I posted a proper update. I have honoured my commitments to blog tours so they are the only things I’ve posted since early in the summer. I do want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has continued to read my blog, and to comment even when I’ve not been around, it really does mean a lot to me.
So some of you will know that a year ago I took the decision to start reducing my pain meds. I’d been on incredibly strong meds since before my diagnosis but my pain levels have remained high despite the meds. So I did a lot of research and the general consensus in the medical profession seemed to be that painkillers don’t really work for people with chronic pain like mine. I discussed things with my doctor and I started a reduction plan. It has been a rough year as every time I reduced I had a period of feeling very unwell with pain throughout my body but it would eventually settle again. A few weeks ago I finally got completely off my long-acting pain medication, which was a big achievement. I was still taking the short-acting morphine though so that was the next thing to tackle. I was meant to wean myself off it but I decided to go cold turkey. It was hell. It was worse than I was expecting, and I’d planned for it to be awful! My husband is a huge support to me and he got me through it. I’m now almost six weeks down the line and while I still don’t feel great, I do feel like my body is very gradually beginning to adjust. I am on a lower level pain medication now but I’m continuing to utilise all the things I’ve learnt in the last two years and hope that in time I can reduce these meds too. I will be in pain for the rest of my life because it’s just the nature of the damage done in my neck and spine but I really want to see if I can find a way to live with the pain rather than taking loads of painkillers.
As you can probably imagine, for a lot of the summer and into autumn my reading has tapered off quite a lot. I haven’t been able to concentrate very well, plus I’ve had a lot of headaches etc. This past week I treated myself to a book I’ve been so keen to read and I devoured it, and that made me happier than I can even put into words. My reading mojo feels like it’s on its way back as I’ve read quite a few books this week so I’m really hoping that this trend continues!
Now I’m reading closer to my normal level again I’ve felt like I want to get back to blogging but it’s been such a long, and unplanned for, break that I haven’t felt like I could just start. So I’m writing this weekly wrap-up and life update as a way of letting you all know what’s been happening with me and a way of just feeling my way back into the blogging world!
    So without further ado, here are the books I’ve finished reading this week:
#gallery-0-9 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-0-9 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-9 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Lily Alone by Vivien Brown
I got a review copy of this from NetGalley but also discovered the audio version on my subscription service so I part read and part listened to this. This book wasn’t exactly what I was expecting it to be but I flew through it because it had me engrossed from the very first chapter. I will write a full review of this on my blog soon.
Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker
I’m sorry to say that I didn’t really get on with this book, which is a shame because I was really keen to read it. I think the cover makes it seem like this is more of a graphic novel than it is, and also it doesn’t make it clear that this is a brief overview of queer theory. I’ve already studied queer theory as part of my degree so there was nothing new for me in here, but I’m not sure I’d even recommend it to someone who wanted to know more as it all felt very dry and it skimmed over lots of things and gave very little detail in my opinion.
Good as You: From Prejudice to Pride – 30 Years of Gay Britain by Paul Flynn
This is a book that I’ve wanted ever since I first heard it of it earlier this year and I finally treated myself to the lovely hardback this week. I’m so happy to say that this book is brilliant, I loved every minute that I spent reading this. This is a great non-fiction book because it’s informative but written in such an easy-to-read style. This is the book that I flew through over a couple of days… I highly recommend this one!
I Heart Forever by Lindsey Kelk
I love the I Heart… books so when I saw a new one was coming out I was super excited to read it. I picked this up at a perfect time when I just needed a light-hearted read and I found I just couldn’t put it down. I read an ARC so I will be reviewing this one on my blog soon.
Blue Nights by Joan Didion
I’ve wanted to read this book for ages and it caught my eye on my bookshelf this week. I read it two sittings and found it to be such an open and honest exploration of her love for her daughter and grief at her loss. This is one of those books that I will re-read, and it’s certainly one that will stay with me.
    This is what I’m currently reading:
#gallery-0-10 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-10 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 20%; } #gallery-0-10 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-10 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Anything You Do Say by Gillian McAllister
This book is so good! I love the way it’s a take on the sliding doors idea and takes the reader through two alternate realities of happened next in the aftermath of a terrible incident after a night out. I’ve been racing through this book because I just don’t want to put it down, and I’m so keen to find out how it will all turn out in the end.
Trust Me by Zosia Wand
I was thrilled to be sent a copy of this novel to review as it’s one I was aware of and was looking forward to reading. I’m really enjoying it so far and can’t wait to read more.
Where Love Begins by Judith Hermann
This is one of those books that I don’t really know what to say about it. When I’m reading it it has me engaged and wanting to know more but when I put it down the plot drifts away from me. I am enjoying it though and am keen to see where it’s going.
Good Night and Good Riddance: How Thirty-Five Years of John Peel Helped to Shape Modern Life by David Cavanagh
I’ve had this on my TBR for a little while now but I was keen to pick it up after listening to some of the highlights of John Peel’s radio shows during Radio 1’s recent 50th birthday weekend. I loved listening to John Peel over the years and still miss discovering new music via his recommendations. This book is a look at some of his shows and his relationship to the music and the artists. It’s easy to dip in and out of, but it’s also easy to lose and hour or two of time as you read and reminisce. I definitely recommend this one!
Aches and Gains: A Comprehensive Guide to Overcoming Your Pain by Paul L. Christo
This is a non-fiction book about the different types of pain, and various conditions that cause pain; plus a look at the range of treatment options available. I’m finding it interesting, in particular where it relates to my own conditions. I’m reading an ARC so I will be reviewing this once I’ve finished reading it.
    As you may remember I decided to track my TBR on my blog this year and have been showing the sums of how my TBR has increased or decreased over the course of this year. I’ve recently got rid of a stack of books and am in the process of sorting through my kindle books so my TBR numbers are a bit all over the place just now and I’ve lost track of it a bit. I do want to continue with following the state of my TBR but I’ve decided to put this to one side for the rest of this year and will start it again in 2018.
  How has your week (or even the last few months) been for you? Have you read any good books recently? I’d love to catch up so please feel free to leave a link to your latest wrap-up in the comments below.
  Life Update and a Weekly Wrap-Up! It has been ages since I was blogging regularly and I can't even remember the last time I posted a proper update.

Picture Projects for Visual Novices
A picture is really worth a thousand phrases, however to a visual learner it is really worth so much greater. Connecting the dots for a visible learner can be difficult, but with images, it could be each creative and fun.
here are a few approaches the use of photographs can stimulate your Visible learner or simply ignite creativity in students.
Watch Free Tv
pics Inspire creative Writing At the beginning of the faculty 12 months, I had college students deliver in a toddler picture for our elegance bulletin board. earlier than putting a photo on board, I had them transfer photos and write an innovative tale on what they believed was occurring within the picture.
For a history lesson, I copied numerous pictures of infantrymen or advertisements from WWII. college students have been assigned writing a poem or other kinds of expressive writing, or giving an oral presentation, explaining the image.
pictures Create magnificence Recollections When you consider that fifth grade is the end of the elementary years (at the least in my school), I had the students buy a 12 x 12 scrapbook at the beginning of the 12 months. The ultimate Friday of the month we might take the last thirty mins or so to document unique sports or activities that came about for the duration of the month. This not only served as a reminiscence for the students however as a lesson in journal writing.
All through the month, I’d hold onto writing Initiatives, math Projects, and so forth that were completed and stood out from the everyday lessons. college students would specific their mind approximately a selected occasion at the page with pix, unique writings, handouts, flyers, etc. some students became very worried inside the hobby the usage of distinctiveness scissors, papers, die cuts, stickers, and so on. a few saved the pages very simple.
It was super looking each pupil specific him/herself in various ways. by means of the give up of the 12 months, the scrapbook served as both a reminiscence e-book but additionally as a writing portfolio.
snap shots Make stronger the house-to-college Connection Most mother and father love to look what their toddler is doing in magnificence. some dad and mom might take a seat inside the classroom all day if we’d permit them! But; for those who are not able to volunteer or do not have time to just pop in and spot what goes on, photographs permit them to connect to the college and infant.
More than one years ago, I invested in a smart cellphone – smartest factor I ever did! In much less than a minute, I’m able to photograph unique activities and shoot out an email to all mother and father with a touch “diddy” of what we were doing at the time. To tricky on the picture, I may also ask mother and father to comment or to “critique” the hobby. The responding emails might then be published on our lecture room network board or given to students for his or her scrapbook. (now not all parents reply, however, I’ve had at the least 90% accomplish that. For those students who dad and mom did not reply, I will write some thing to submit on the board).
students love to peer the pix of them “stuck working” and will comment on what they have been doing while the image changed into taken. also, the images I ship function a communique starter on the dinner desk when mom/dad asks “what did you do in school today?” dad and mom can display the photograph and ask students to give an explanation for what was going on.
The out of sophistication activities, Inspire parental involvement and supply a risk for parents to paintings with their infant. It is also first-rate for parents to proportion with a family who might not live close to the child to sense more linked.
pix Simplify difficult instructions Technological know-how is a tough concern for the Visual learner, as it regularly calls for summary wondering, for a visible learner that could increase beyond the area of imagination and create confusion. To put matters into an angle or extra concrete thinking, I may also use classroom pics.
As an example, I was coaching on light and spectrum. To help illustrate this idea, I assigned a digicam mission. I requested students to take photos of diverse gadgets that suit into particular classes referring to our Science chapter (As an example, shadowing and reflection). the usage of what we talked about in class, college students have been asked the usage of cameras, to find or create situations that met the specified category and take a picture. For shadowing, of course, the scholars had to take an image for the duration of the day. no longer only did they need to take a photo, however, students needed to be aware of positioning, the attitude, and so much extra (brilliant extension to the Science lesson).
After they had been finished, every scholar becomes then requested to broaden their photos, vicinity them in a small picture album (dollar shop range) and using an index card, explain the medical term/idea for the picture positioned in the slot in the back of the photo. Now the students had a fun, creative, and relevant use of the Science principles to which they could talk over with for testing and different classes. This will also be completed reading weather, animal habitats, rocks and minerals, and a lot greater.
images assist in Trouble Fixing In an earlier blog, I expressed my love for math and math Tasks. using pictures with various math sports and having students write out the steps, arranging sequence, and piecing together Problem puzzle portions, assists in mastering the procedure to tough math equations.
For instance, we have been studying a way to calculate tax on purchases. Because it becomes close to Christmas time, I had the scholars bring in numerous flyers. I asked each pupil to create a Christmas listing and with a given finances, students needed to start their “purchasing”. After looking for absolutely everyone, we listed the stairs to calculating tax together on the board (I took a picture of our steps). the scholars then had to finish a price range chart that showed charge earlier than and after tax.
This task took a few days to finish. I took photographs as students had been at every level of the task. (I.E. Making listing, deciding on gadgets, the usage of calculator or working out Problem by means of hand, filling in budget chart, including tax, and final calculations). I then advanced the photographs (or You could print out if you have photo paper and shade printer) numbered the images, and published on the bulletin board.
students have been then assigned a range of photo and asked to provide an explanation for the strategies to that specific step. This helped them understand the concept and techniques involved in calculating tax, multiplying chances, and additionally, ought to have served as a sequencing lesson. What did we do first, subsequent… and so on?
NFL Playoff Picture
photographs Customize school paintings Education students love sports and Initiatives that are non-public to their lives or that give the opportunity to proportion more approximately them. My class and I examine collectively The arena In line with Humphrey, a satisfying tale approximately a hamster who joins a fifth-grade classroom. on the cease of the tale, I gave each student a bit publication I created and a tag board hamster to shade and name.
students had been then assigned to journal seven days inside the life in their hamster. They were recommended to take pictures in their hamster in numerous settings and sports. They loved this! I obtained such superb adventures involving my students and their hamsters with pictures! by way of making this venture personal, college students had been more concerned than they could be writing a fashionable e-book record.
