Jordan Klepper looks at the issue of sex education in schools
Annndddd there it is.
“I have no idea, I’d have to look it up” Whoop.
wowww
So, like, my friend had to ask me if hpv is transmitable through saliva (it’s not) and she had a ton of other questions about hpv and like here I am, 2 years younger than her, answering these damn health questions that should have been covered in sex Ed. And the only reason I know any of this is cause I’m close with someone with hpv.
A woman with Asperger’s who posted a touching viral video with her service dog last summer has been shot dead by police.
Danielle Jacobs was killed by Mesa, Arizona, officers on Thursday after they arrived at her apartment for a suicide call around 11 a.m., her mother Stacia confirmed to the Daily News.
Police told local media that the 24-year-old came at them with a knife and they fired in self-defense.
Jacobs had garnered international attention last year for posting a courageous video where she sobs as her loving dog Samson provided comfort during a meltdown and used his paws to stop her hitting herself.
“This is what having Asperger’s like,” she wrote alongside the clip, and told the Huffington Post, “When I have a meltdown, I often have self-injurious behavior and I often self-harm.”
The video has been made private, though up until three days before her death she posted videos of the canine comforting her during outbreaks of anxiety.
So from what I’m gathering from the information given is: in this day and age, with all the resources afforded our law enforcement, they still choose to shoot rather than using a less lethal way to disarm a mentally distraught woman with a knife.
It’s like they were just reinforcing her suicide. She went at them with a knife knowing how they would respond because, she wanted to die. So that’s what happened. She brought a knife to a gun fight. There were other ways to take her down and get her help rather than shooting to kill.
NOTE: His name was Kayden Clarke. Kayden was a trans man, not a woman as the mainstream media is reporting. Kayden faced severe transphobia and had his access to testosterone blocked by his transphobic psychiatrist, who refused to prescribe it. Kayden Clarke was suicidal and depressed, weighed on by his gender dysphoria. He is a casualty of transphobia and ableism and police militarism, and the least we can do is respect who he was.
I reblogged this earlier, please reblog this version instead.
This is the first post I’ve seen about him on here and I’m honestly surprised (maybe even a little disappointed) that they’re aren’t more posts about him.
This was from around February 4th and I didn’t hear about it? I remember seeing the video with him and his dog and thinking, “God bless this person, God bless their dog, I hope they have all the help they need.” I’m totally heartbroken about this. That video went viral. Why didn’t I hear more about this until February 12th? Why?
