  • Colorblind is removing their identity.

    You are still a black, white, brown, etc. person (I’m using {color} from now on cause I don’t want to type an array of colors each time). The person’s experiences as a {color} person are valid.

    While you shouldn’t treat someone different because they are {color}, you should validate that they ARE different and celebrate those differences in an appropriate fashion.

    It’s like a friend coming out to you and you reply “I don’t care”, while that is not the worst way to respond and you mean well, you are invalidating WHO they are.

    I think this is much more eloquently illustrates my point: https://youtu.be/91O7q7D4xnU

    Consider therapy. It helps


  • Pharmacies are weird when it comes to stocking stuff.

    There are medications that pharmacies just don’t stock cause they are too expensive or have too short a shelf life to have sitting around.

    So pharmacies are usually able to order meds and get them delivered in 1-2 days, regardless of their “normal” stock.

    For example, I worked briefly in the cash office at a grocery store and say daily sales, and the pharmacy would have days where they would “sell” $500k of medications versus their normal day of like $800.

    Turns out it was a cancer medication that cost like 500k a dose.

    Clearly the pharmacy never had that laying around and special ordered it each time…
