It came to my attention that many people don’t know this, so I decided to make a PSA in meme form. Yes, citrus can interfere with ADHD meds. It’s because of the high Vitamin C.
December 12, 2020 - Angry workers at a Wistron Infocomm facility manufacturing Apple iPhones in Narasapura, India, destroyed the offices of the factory after not being paid their promised wages. Workers destroyed CCTV cameras throughout the factory and flipped and burned executives’ cars. Police who went to the factory were also attacked. [video]/[video]
I’m humbly asking for a little help for myself since this is probably the worst trauma of my life right now.
Dad was t-boned by a drunk driver Friday night, the car was spun and he was ejected through the windshield into the engine (the hood opens different from most cars) and was trapped unconscious burning til a passerby saved his life. He’s going to need amputations, and he’s combative about all care, so not only are we fighting to keep him alive, we’re fighting HIM to do it (he’s phobia-terrified of hospitals). NONE of us have had sleep.
I have to stay home from work to help with things here, and I can’t afford to stay home. I’m only part time at work and make about $180 a week, and i really seriously need the income to stay up on bills, but there is no way I can leave right now. I’ve already missed two days and I’m not coming in next week either (there’s too much we have to legally do within a certain time frame even with the trauma we’re all trying to process) but the loss of paycheck isn’t doable but if I go into work I’m gonna break down (none of us have slept) but if I don’t go into work next I can’t pay my bills (unless like, can you pay a credit card with a credit card somehow? I’ve had maybe 15hrs of sleep in six days since it happened I can’t think straight but if that’s an option it can keep me floating til I double pay I guess idfk I can’t think)
I just need a little bit of help. Dad has a severe concussion (a literal softball sized lump on his head where he went through the windshield), the vertebra that supplies blood oxygen to the brain is fractured, and the surgeon just said he’s probably gonna lose 2 fingers from the fourth degree burns on his hand (you can see his tendons— his knuckle is completely gone- and the burns have pretty much degloved him. Do NOT google that if you don’t know what it is). I am very much still in shock even if it doesn’t seem like it. A human person should never look how my dad does, and he should absolutely be dead rn.
If anyone could spare a couple bucks or reblog or whatever, I’d super appreciate it. It would be one less thing for me to worry about and I’m absolutely desperate for any kind of help with things rn because I don’t know what to do. We’re all so exhausted on maybe 2-3hrs of sleep a night, my mom couldn’t remember how to turn on the tv with the remote and started sobbing (that’s ALL our brain states right now) and I’m the oldest child and trying to keep shit together..
I’d really appreciate if anyone could spare a few bucks just so I can keep my head above water while drowning in everything else. If you can’t, I’d really really appreciate reblogs.

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.
Did you remember to take your medication today?
Stay healthy folks!
And don’t forget to do any exercises or other activities recommended by your doctor. Those are important too.
Happy scrolling!

I am currently freaking out. The maintenance guys came to look at my floor in my apartment yesterday(it’s caving in due to water damage in the bathroom and the hallway)and now we have to move out because it’s unsafe for us to stay there. I have approximately $25 in my bank account and we have two weeks to find somewhere else to stay. I don’t know what to do. We have zero money and no one who can take us in for a while. My parents are currently hosting my mom’s sister who is very sick(she has ALS)so they don’t have the space and my in-laws are in another state. Neither of us has friends who can take us in either. If anyone can help with funding that would be amazing. I’ve found a couple of apartments that can get us in soon but it’s going to be expensive. I am the only one with steady income and I make about $1100 a month which pretty much barely covers our bills as is.
