My friend recently lost a young passenger when she was working a flight. I was a flight attendant for 35 years. I was fortunate enough to never have a passenger die on my watch. We came close but we were fortunate enough to save his life. I can’t imagine how that must feel; losing someone you are fighting so hard to save. In spite of them performing CPR and using all the life saving measures that we have on board the airplane her young life was lost. There are some dark moments when you’re a flight attendant. It’s mostly fun and excitement, yes but we’re trained for the darker things that happen. That’s why we are really there.

I've been thinking about how to amplify mutual aid requests on my Instagram account (@trustmeimasocialworker) for a while. If you are unaware, IG severely limits reach when posting mutual aid requests. For VOCAL (pun totally not intended but clap for me anyway) accounts like mine who are shadow banned every other week, IG limits our reach. Reach for all the things I want to amplify including my #pulluporshutupdonoharm campaign against medical racism. Recently I decided not to try to "trick" the algorithm anymore, I'm over it. Going forward I will share mutual aid requests to my stories and save them to my highlights labeled "mutual aid". Currently I'm in Mexico with no cell phone, so when I get one I'll update the highlights and you'll have a one stop shop/resource to visit.

Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya (née Garagulia) was born in 1905 into a poor peasant family in Crimea. Indeed, destitute was an understatement, as she was regarded as a serf - a fancy term for slave. Coming from a humble background, she fervently embraced the growing expansion of communism and its values, as it gave her an education, two jobs, and even a husband.

My alarm jolted me awake at 4AM in my hotel room. My roommate and I bustled to throw our things together, dress, and head downstairs for the government-provided continental breakfast. They gave us eggs, hash-browns, and orange juice but no coffee. Once fed, we were bussed to downtown Phoenix, Arizona, which only lasted about ten or so minutes.

Where are you from?

Then I heard my mother crying and begging me to change my mind, stay there for a few years and go to the local community college. The look on my father’s face was a combination of pride, concern, and gloom. My mother again begged me to change my mind. When I said I would not, my decision was made. If they did not sign the papers allowing me to join, then I would wait until I was 18 and do it myself. My mother then left the table crying. That was the last time she spoke to me for nearly two weeks and the worst dinner we had ever had as a family.
