My website (that I desperately need to update) with my craft showcase is felt-frens.carrd.co and my etsy is www.etsy.com/shop/ButtonBuccaneers

If you like any of my felt creations or anything you see on my etsy, feel free to send a message or an ask and we can talk prices etc! Going through my etsy makes me less money, but if you want an established storefront to go through I have zero issue with that! If you've seen the pokeball keychains I've posted, I take commissions for custom ones! They're 15 dollars USD plus shipping! They're very light so the charges are lower than most heavier packages. They're under 1 ounce!

Nice to meet you all! DNI: terfs, radfems, gender crits, and other assorted anti-trans bigots. This is NOT a place for you, go back under the rock you crawled out from. also dni if you're going to assume bad faith when discussing something with me and dni if you're not willing to update your beliefs when confronted with evidence, testimony, a new perspective etc. oh, and dni if you're against punching nazis. Punching a nazi is ALWAYS morally correct. Go captain america on that shit.

so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dad’s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doing…we don’t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in père lachaise. 

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT 

i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and. 

HE GONE. 

WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL. 

*celine dion’s smash hit “my heart will go on” playing in the distance* 

in other words either someone stole my entire great great uncle samuel or he has risen again, ready to party in paris for all of eternity.

My guy, my dude, he’s been dead since 1851. He could be anywhere. He does what he wants.

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

That’s so utterly depressing.

disgusting

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

Happy 4th of July everyone! This is what the “nation of opportunity” looks like.

There’s something called an ABLE account that can help. If you are on SSI and were diagnosed as disabled before the age of 26 you can apply for an ABLE account that will allow you to save up to $99,000. More people need to know about this!

This shit is why conservatives think disability is fun pampering, because they see disabled people have to come up with ways to get rid of the money and to them it looks like they must be rolling in excess.

Puppy Affirmations

Every time I feel weak and useless and broken and ruined and abnormal and a failure because I’m chronically ill/disabled/crippled/mentally ill/depressed/anxious/trans/non-binary/queer/fatigued/overweight/”not pretty enough”/”too old” or whatever… 

I try to remember to see myself NOT as a failed adult human, but as a puppy who’s doing their best. And I give myself the compassion I would give a puppy. I wouldn’t hate a puppy for needing a nap or being unable to carry two bags of groceries home. I wouldn’t force a puppy to write perfectly beautiful calligraphy or try to teach it to paint photorealistic oil paintings. 

Puppies need love and support!

Just smelled what I thought was the stove left on and unignited and jolted up to go fix it.

Nope. Was just that fart from a few minutes ago

It's good! We're safe! It's just fart! Fart alarm!

this is to the guy in the electronics department at walmart who when I approached and said “game” because it was the only word that would come to me, went “yeah” and walked me straight to tears of the kingdom, no questions asked

THIS

that ahistorical bullshit about "public schools existing to churn out perfect workers?" is in fact ahistorical bullshit

public schools were HARD-WON by people who didn't want working-class children to be railroaded into the same hardships their parents had known via lack of education (and therefore lack of opportunities for higher-paying jobs)

yes they have their issues. but they are absolutely NOT designed to be tools of capitalism

Both things can be true - the schools were a hard won fight and they have been corrupted by ever failing systems.

Children should not have to work. Schools need to do more than teach to test.

my roommate bought a VR headset at a flea market. it’s got no company name on it, except for a stylized logo no one can figure out. She tried to get it working but couldn’t, so I’m taking a look. It’s got warnings about lasers on it and it says “for testing and development only, not for resale”. It’s got weird padded sections that go over your head, not just over your eyes. 

I think I’ve read this mind control story. I’m about to get hypnotized into being a mindless drone, aren’t I?

why does it appear to have lights around the eyeholes? why would you shine lights in the face of the user? that seems counterproductive.

My mother (worlds gayest straight Midwestern woman) thinks you're really cool but probably not quite as cool as xena warrior princess. This too is Yuri

Anon's mother is clearly an appreciator of fine women (and cats), with good taste. We could discuss denial, but I don't know anon's mother well enough to make a call on whether that's what she's experiencing. However, regardless of sexuality appreciating women is an experience that evokes Miyazawan yuri.

Conclusion: This is yuri.

Have you been playing Zelda: Tears of tge Kingdom?

Avatar

I haven't. I've given a bunch of the Zelda games a try over the years, and none of them have made me as happy as the OG on NES. I recently tried Breath of the Wild, with high hopes because it was hyped by so many of my friends. Maybe it would be my way back into Zelda. I hated it so much, found it to be such a mess, I gave up after a very unsatisfying hour or so of farming sticks, I think?

I realize my experience is very much an outlier. People love it to death for good reasons, but it just didn't click with me. And I have so many games in my queue already that I *want* to play, I decided not to force myself to learn to like a game because it was popular (I tried that with a couple of Pokemon versions, and I just don't get it. I think it's because I'm old.)

I'm currently about halfway through The Witcher III, and I play at least a couple games of NHL 22 on Create a Player every day (look for Blaine Gretzky on Instagram. It's fun.)

I want to play the new Horizon Zero Dawn game, finish The Quarry, and there is Diablo 4 ... so I'm pretty much covered, as far as games go.

And we haven't even gotten into the retro 80s arcade I built in my game room! That's a lot of fun for me and my inner child.

Neat TSA hack!

You may not be able to effectively lock your luggage but you can leave an easily burstable pouch of (biodegradable) glitter in with it. Follow me for more neat tricks!

Bonus hack! Itching powder is safe and not harmful! Just annoying! Like glitter! Mix the two for best effect!
