this article about the destructiveness of fat shaming relates to street medicine because being fat can mean medical abuse and medical trauma. so then that person who's been harmed might avoid clinics and doctors, and have untreated issues that street medics encounter, while we care for those who have slipped thru the cracks.

please see the destructiveness of fat shaming. respect is basic, and fat shaming doesn't even do what it's supposedly intended to do. let's help create a world without fat shaming, for the well-being of all.

We're moving away, so Ming Lai is distributing Las Vegas Steet Medic supplies to local street medics and radical groups that serve the under-served. He's already distributed supplies to some groups. Please contact us if you want supplies for your personal medic kit or group. Ming will make a box for you to pick up. Picture is an example of materials; the exact materials you receive may vary.

Thank you for caring for the well-being of all--folks at protests and demonstrations, drug users, houseless, hungry, everyone on the street, and all the people who capitalism considers trash. Thank you for respecting all people.

have you seen this meme? did it make you think of street medics? I'm not so keen on civilized vs uncivilized, or Margaret Mead stories. but I like the idea of love and showing up for others as a conscious choice to care that indicates something good about culture.
