First of all, ehhhhh

aesthetic attraction is wild bc it’s like “yes i’m asexual but i’m also very gay and women are extremely hot”

so basically to summarise

#I don’t want to DO anything but I Am Looking Respectfully

occupational therapist (rehab therapist) coming in to be annoying and say that alphonse’s full recovery probably didn’t happen until well into a year post-promised day. he likely needed hours on hours of physical and occupational therapy and even some swallow/slp too. when you lose that much muscle mass you are unable to walk, eat without aspiration, carry/hold items, do much of anything without feeling extremely short of breath. he probably had some neuropathy too as his body went years without any tactile input. i bet he experienced allodynia (sensation of pain from a stimulus that is usually non-painful), parathesias, and other odd neuropathies. he probably had extreme range of motion limitations, including a contracture or two in his upper extremities, meaning doctors or therapists (probably occupational therapists) would order night splints. now this is me applying modern day med to the early 1900s (when occupational therapy wasn’t even solidified as a profession until 1917) but my general point remains: al had a lot of boo boos that would have realistically taken at least a year to heal completely

I keep saying that the reason why I, as an Irish person, keep reblogging American political content is because your internal politics affects not just America, but the entire world.

And I want to give you an example of that.

Over in the UK, Boris Johnson has announced his intention to renege on key points of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement that his government signed with the EU.

Part of this Withdrawal Agreement is ensuring that a "hard border", that is a walled and manned border with checkpoints, isn't erected between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The lack of a hard border is a key part of the 1997 Good Friday Agreement, a peace treaty that ended several decades of civil war in Northern Ireland.

The reason why Johnson is breaking this agreement with the EU is because he wants a trade deal with the US, a trade deal that Trump has stated he will not give to Johnson unless he removes some product safety laws.

These product safety laws are also enshrined in the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, because the EU doesn't want sub-standard products entering the EU marketplace, and the only way to avoid checks on goods for these safety standards at the Ireland/Northern Ireland border is to have the UK to continue to uphold these standards.

But Johnson so badly wants this deal with the US, in order to "prove" the UK isn't dependent on EU Trade, that he's willing to break two legally-binding international treaties.

To compound this, both Democrats and Republicans have repeatedly stated that if Johnson breaches the Good Friday Agreement, he will not get a trade deal with the US.

Because Irish Americans make up 10% of the US population, and that is a group both sides want to appeal to. And Irish Americans generally like the idea of peace on the island of Ireland.

But Johnson knows that Donald Trump is willing to go against his party, and that the Republicans will fall in line with Trump's wishes. He knows the Republicans' threat of "no trade deal if you violate the Good Friday Agreement" is a shockingly empty one.

He knows that so long as Trump is in power, he can get what he wants, even if he breaks international law in doing so.

And this is just one of many examples of how US internal politics heavily affects the internal and international politics of other nations. Like it or not, the effects of your vote go well beyond your borders.

Donald Trump is not just bad for your country, he is bad for the entire human race.

Please. Get him out.
