I printed and painted a thing for Steve for Christmas! I learned how to airbrush. Printed on a #formlabs #form3 printer.

SHOUT OUT TO KRISTEN BELL’S MOM THOUGH? WHAT KIND OF FANTASTIC SELF-AWARE PARENTING, WELL DONE MA'AM
Seriously, meds changed my life. Don’t let anyone tell you not to if it’s legit something that helps. I was crying for no reason, acting like a jerk to my bosses, angry at everything far out of proportion than I should have been. It would have impacted my dream job, and meds helped me get stuff done, be nice to my coworkers, and focus. I was able to get things done at home instead of crying.

Here’s my video:
Tumblr was sold to Yahoo for a lot of money, but it turned out Tumblr was already in decline. A project in decline at a company in decline isn’t going to be well supported. A project in decline at a company in decline that gets banned from the Apple App Store is going to be told to either get back on the app store or be closed down.
I don’t think that the Tumblr staff has done this well, and I’m not inside that building, but my guess is that they have been told they either have to do things or they will be fired and their project closed down. And so they are doing the things with minimal support and minimal staff and I’m sure it sucks for them, because I imagine many of them feel that this is a betrayal of the identity of a place that they love very much.
We are seeing, real-time, how hard it is to sustain these massive cultural spaces, especially when they aren’t vanilla bullshit and so their path to paying for themselves is murky.
So, basically, fuck Apple for having no chill. And fuck the scum who were using Tumblr to post illegal content. I’m mad at those people, not the staff, who I’m sure are having a much worse day than me.

Learn to peep through the corner of your eye so you’re not quite so obvious when you turn.
Putting in your earphones so hopefully no random men try to talk to/harass you but not actually playing music so you can listen for footsteps/other suspicious noises behind you.
feeling like someone is following you and subtly shifting whatever object you’re holding into a better grip so you can use it as a bludgeon if the person behind you tries anything
Being fucking terrified when street lamps give you more than one shadow
just girly things~🌟
Doing a full scan of the parking lot before speed walking to your car. Oh, and glancing in your back windows to make sure no one is already in there 🙃
Feeling anxious when you walk past a bunch of men hoping that none of them say a word to you.
Learning to adjust your own pace so that anyone trying to match it will be easier to hear
Checking out the things to either side so you can peek subtly behind you.
You’ll often hear Americans complain about a supposed epidemic of people taking advantage of social programs when they don’t really need them (Those damn poor people are just so lazy and immoral!), even though that statistically doesn’t happen very often.
Every judgemental white suburbanite has some anecdote about a person they know who gets some kind of state assistance, and who they think doesn’t deserve it. It’s incredibly stigmatized to be on any kind of public assistance, and people will often just assume that you’re a dishonest freeloader if you are—even though, again, incrediblyfuckingrare.
But you almost never hear any talk of the opposite problem.
Everyone, not just right-wing talk radio blowhards, is familiar with the trope of the person who fakes a disability to get worker’s compensaton or disability benefits or whatever. (Faking a limp, “I’ve got anxiety, doc…definitely,” that kind of thing.) But I’ve never heard someone who isn’t themselves disabled point out how insanely difficult and complicated it is to get and keep disability benefits.
And I’ve never heard a non-disabled person even mention the fact that there are a lot of people who can’t work due to a disability, but who don’t get benefits because some incompetent doctor hired by Social Security who doesn’t know them and only talked to them for twenty minutes decided they weren’t disabled ‘cause they can string a sentence together.
There are a lot of disabled people who fall through the cracks because the system is so strict, and most people probably aren’t even aware that that happens. But fuck, everyone’s heard of “welfare queens.”
Someone being forced to starve and live on the street is worse than someone being a freeloader, but you only ever seem to hear people bring up the latter—because focusing on the former would require one to be empathetic and put in the effort help people, while focusing on the latter lets one demonize them and not have to do anything.
if i can get psychological for a second: it’s because focusing on people in trouble kinda makes you want to die. it makes you feel helpless and angry and sad. it’s bad times.
those of us who are disabled have no choice but to feel those things when we look at the system.
abled people have a choice, and they choose not to feel awful.
i forgive that. i understand that. i wish more would take a hit for the team and pay attention to the bad things so they’ll become less bad, but i can’t honestly be sure i would if i had a choice.
spreading lies about how people who suffer deserve it, that’s just world bullshit and it’s cruel and wrong. that’s not ok. but noping out of putting yourself in the shoes of the millions of people who need help and can’t get it? weak, but understandable. not everyone can be strong. i guess the world needs helpless bystanders too.
No, but compassionate bystanders would be a start
To reply… it was super hard to get food stamps. I was going to art school and taking 15 credits a quarter (mostly production classes which meant a huge project due at the end instead of a final exam). That equaled to 5 classes, 4 hours each a week, so 20 hours.
I also had a total of four hours a week per class in homework, so another 20 hours. There’s your basic 40 hour work week.
To get food stamps I had to prove that I was working at least 20 hours a week, and I did that too working security. Which paid $9 an hour. So I made $180 before taxes working the equivalent of a 60 hour work week, not counting any freelance gigs I could pick up since they were few and far between and not something to count on. So: a total of $650 after taxes that went to rent, car payment, supplies for school, power, laundry, garbage, and water.
My rent was $650/month. Literally I would have starved once that case of ramen that my mom bought me ran out if I didn’t have food stamps.
It took a month and a lot of interviews and paperwork to prove I needed it.
The first time I went grocery shopping with that card was damn near orgasmic. I could afford fresh meat and vegetables and fruit. Good food which helped me to focus better in school and make the honors society.
I guess I could have not gone to school and worked a minimum wage job all my life, or gone to school and been homeless, or any manner of other things… but those things are all frowned on too.
Now I’m a professional in my field, making not much more, but dammit, I’m happy. And I will not give anyone shit for needing assistance. If you’re scamming the system that’s between you and whatever gods you deal with, but I know what it’s like to need help and feel bad because “you shouldn’t be asking for it.”
Thread on abortion. Men bear no responsibility. Women are expected to suffer. This is part of our patriarchal culture and it has to change.

@takashi0PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD.
Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles
and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!!If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is
boiling hot as well.
Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc.
Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil.
Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc.
Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.I’ve dealt with these before. If you find one:
- Do not touch it
- Do not touch it
- Clear the area around it. It will explode on its own in time.
- Once it explodes, do not make contact with the liquid inside. If needed, flush it away with large amounts of water.
- Do not try to detonate it. You’ll probably be disfigured.
I’ve seen what these can do. The acidic liquid inside can strip the paint off a car.
when i visited vancouver these were everywhere. it’s not a fucking joke they’re actually scary
Just a reminder that there are awful shitty people out there doing awful shitty things to everyone else
there was a bunch of these at disneyland
i found one in my back yard, when i let my dogs out, i pulled them back inside, took my cousins bb shotgun and shot it from a safe distance (i was in my house and shot from the screen door. When it went off, my family and neighbors came running to see if everything was ok. I told them what happened and to watch out for them.
These things are not a joke! When we went to check the damage there was a fucking hole in the ground. The dirt in my yard is like CLAY.
This shit is bad news
PLEASE DON’T BE AN ASSHAT. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE BOMBS IN PEOPLE’S YARDS.
Please spread this information!
the one fucking time I actually will signal boost cuz I didn’t know about this and would never ever wanna learn about it first hand
we actually had the bomb squad called to our house for something like this and it totally ruined the paint on my big bro’s car. :c
Shared before, but sharing again.
this isnt my blog type but its really important
Please be aware and be careful. These can harm people, pets, property and wildlife.
If you see one, keep your distance and wait for it to go off on its own.
My brother delt with one by putting a large metal bowl over it, but that’s extremely dangerous as well.
Be safe please.
SIGNAL BOOST. I HAVEN’T SEEN THESE BUT WILL KEEP A LOOK OUT.
[My chemistry professor told us about these this week because we’ve been learning about the main ingredient in Draino, Sodium Hydroxide.]
LET THE WORLD KNOW!!!
I’m on mobile and can’t link, but Snopes confirms. If you see one, call the police. These are DANGEROUS.
THIS ISNT FOLLOWING MY BLOG THEME BUT ITS VERY IMPORTANT!
Careful y’all
Stay safe everyone
AAAAAAHHHH!!! WHY!!!?!?!?!?!
How long has this been happening? This is messed up
Not the blog’s theme but I want you guys to keep your fingers and face
Be safe
I know this isn’t kiribaku related but please watch out for these things, I didn’t even know they existed until now.
I don’t see this here but I know it will help others.
Agghhh! WTAF

I have a very vivid memory of sitting in a first grade classroom (first grade was my first actual classroom because my mom homeschooled me for kindergarten) thinking “I am literally going to die, I can’t live one more minute without reading a story, but I’ve already gotten my book confiscated for peeking at it during class and I have no backup book and I’m going to die” and then thinking in a burst of divine inspiration “WHAT IF I TELL MYSELF A STORY INSIDE MY HEAD. THEY CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. PHYSICALLY THEY CANNOT.”
they could not
That’s how it begins
Yup. That is indeed how it begins.
There are other beginnings, including: “Why are there no more stories /in this world /about these characters? I will make up my own!”
And the one that got me going, back in the late 1970s: “S/he wrote this s/hit and got paid for it? I can (to quote @dduane) eat a ream of typing paper and barf a better story and ALSO get paid for it!”
What goes on inside your head can’t be taken away, and often the only frustration is realising you’ll never get it OUT of your head looking as good as it was while it was in there. But you’re in good company… :-)
There was a British comedian and variety performer called Max Bygraves, whose catchphrase (they all seem to have had catchphrases) was “I wanna tell you a story…”
That would be me; is the price of my story better value than the price of a beer? (A Robert A. Heinlein saying.) To which I say - you can read a story twice, but you can drink a beer just once. (Yes, I know - but I’m not going there.)
Those are all of my reasons for writing. I’m finally getting off my ass and editing one of my 3+ novels now, so maybe I can get paid for that.
You rush into a church to stop the love of your life from marrying the wrong person. Not paying attention you barge in yelling “I OBJECT” only to realize it’s a funeral. The deceased immediately rises in perfect health. All eyes turn to you
Saving this for later…
hey, one millenial to another?
don’t just leave the gen z kids to clean up this mess. i know we’re all tired, i know we’re all exhausted, but we cannot sit back on our nihilistic laurels and leave them to do this alone.
it’s time to stand back up. it’s time to get back in there. it’s time to fight that fight, and fight it harder.
it’s time to be the adults we wish had stood with us.
I’m that weird lost generation between the millennial and generation X, and I keep finding myself full of the tired nihilism of the millennials and the righteous wrath and passionate intensity of the Z kids and I just have to say… let’s give them all hell.
“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”— Alice Walker, Living by the Word (via themindmovement)
…oh.
You should see this. Yes you. It’s important. Like, it’s important (and good-!) in the way Wonder Woman is important (and good).
