My sister's best friend just lost her husband.
I cannot even imagine the grieve they must be feeling at such a sudden and profound lost.
They need help covering funeral expensives, any help you can give is deeply appreciated. Thank you.
These donations have really slowed and they haven't even met half of their goal. Any support you're able to give, even just reblogs, are very appreciated.

OH So this guy’s purpose in life is to hang out in a Pokémon Center on Poni Island and tutor one move that only one Pokémon can learn, a Legendary postgame Pokémon from a Hoenn one/four generations ago. And that Pokémon naturally knows that move anyway.
Fuck me, I’m getting a new job. I’ll be standing in a Dunkin Donuts on Staten Island tutoring Spanish. But only if you’re early 19th Venezuelan military leader Simón Bolívar.
when I tell u I had to scroll a week back in my twitter likes to find this video bc I genuinely couldn’t sleep until I did
Sorry little guy but i defeat you in one wicked strike
Come on.
Oh! So sorry! Ricky I could not defeat you with even two wicked strikes!
Yipee! My power!
vampirism poses the question "what if there was a fundamental, horrible, unending well of want in your soul that, if truly satisfied, would lead to great pain for all those you hold closest and, in turn, their absolute and total revilement of you?" and naturally as a person with no problems I don't relate to this in any way at all.
Whereas lycanthropy poses the question “what if there was a wild destructive urge buried inside you to shed all cares and social bonds and pretensions of civilisation in one fell swoop, to tear your whole stultifying life apart around yourself in a glorious bout of transformation, and then you woke up and had to deal with the consequences of that, both to yourself and to everyone around you?” and yeah, as a person with no issues whatsoever, naturally cannot relate there either. Heh.
Reposting this so it gets to the right people!!
Edit: Saline beats milk—it is AGAINST the usage of pouring milk into your eyes. It is suggesting that if you do not have access to a saline solution or water somehow, milk is your far LAST resort. It’s not a substitute. Use WATER above all else, it’s incredibly accessible
I hope this isn't a controversial opinion, but I would rather have my tax dollars go to people fraudulently using SNAP benefits than have a single person go hungry. And I mean real fraud, not selling food stamps to buy tampons or any of that. I wouldn't care if half of the people receiving SNAP benefits didn't really need them if it meant everybody in the US had enough food to eat. It's food stamps. That's the exact kind of thing taxes are supposed to be for. Food isn't supposed to be a privilege or a luxury.
The ideal scenario, of course, would be that 100% of people do not require food assistance because food is necessary to live.
I often refer to my bottle-raised lamb as my adopted daughter, because it’s mostly true, it temporarily keeps nosy strangers from knowing I’m an eeeevil childfree woman, and it’s hilarious when people find out. And by that time they’re usually too disturbed by the “her-daughter-is-a-sheep” thing to get on my case about the “woman-with-no-husband-or-kids-oh-the-horror” thing.
Most of my friends are aware that I do this, and will back me up in conversations without batting an eye when I reference my daughter. And the best part is that they literally never drop the story. They just 100% all the time accept that I have a two-year-old adopted daughter. The fact that she happens to be a sheep is an unimportant detail, not worth mentioning until an anecdote gets too weird to plausibly be about a human toddler.
Which actually takes much longer than you’d think, since human toddlers apparently have absolutely zero sense. “She bites if you stop paying attention to her” is believable, “she tries to eat rocks out of the landscaping” is believable, “she stuck her head through a fence and couldn’t get out” is believable. “She jumped a five foot fence and came screaming back into the house through the dog door when I left her outside in the pasture” does get some strange looks, though usually not for the right reason.
Occasionally the joke gets turned around on me, though. I posted a picture on my not-tumblr blog of her wearing my glasses, and every comment was “Oh my gosh she looks just like you!!!” “I would never have known she was adopted If you hadn’t told me!!” “Are you sure that’s not an old picture of you?!”
So apparently this is what I look like:
At least she does look cute in glasses.

As the saying goes, the difference between having nothing and having a billion dollars is a billion dollars.
The difference between having a million dollars and having a billion dollars is also a billion dollars.
That million is 0.1% of the billion dollars; it's a literal rounding error.
Hello everyone, I'm Ko; I'm native, trans, and disabled, BUT I am currently waiting to hear back from a job that I very much am likely to get! Or at least have a lot higher hopes of getting than any previous ones!
Unfortunately if/when I'm hired, pay period won't be until mid-late February, and uh, I have a lot of annoying beginning of the year payments to handle! And not much money!
I'm trying to get 200 CAD if I can either via mutual aid, or via commissions!
Here is the link for those who are able to help by tossing a couple bucks my way.
And below is my commission info!
Comms can be done via tumblr DMs or through discord (DM or off-anon ask for discord @ sorry folks)
