There is a new subreddit called r/PeriodPantry that allows people who need period products to post wishlists. Many people are forced by poverty to chose between menstrual hygiene products and other necessities, and may end up skipping meals or suffering health problems or social isolation as a result of lacking hygiene products. Please feel welcome to post a period product wishlist, fulfill a wishlist, and/or reblog this post to help it reach others.
Hey, this is a really cool mutual aid group, if you need period products or can help someone get period products this is a great little group to check out.
Periodic (hah!) reminder that this cool group exists and can be a source of menstrual products and is a place where you can help people who need menstrual products.
For reference, the federal minimum wage would have you earning roughly on average $1,256.66 a month
It’s recommended your rent only be 30% of your total budget, so with an average monthly rent of $1,827 that would mean your average renter’s monthly income should ideally be $6,090
That would be roughly $35.13 hourly or $73,080 annually
However, the average renter’s household income is only $42,500 annually or $20.43 hourly (as of 2019 according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey)
This means either rent prices are too unsustainably high and price gouging or wages are too unsustainably low and predatory
Or both
(Hint: it’s both)
not to mention the maximum amount of money a person can make on disability is just under 800$ a month. 800. not 1k but 800$. u will 100% need assistance to afford rent anywhere. and the amount only goes down the more roommates u have. u cannot afford to live anywhere in the country on disability alone. and if u try to earn more money by working u lose funds from ur disability. the more u work the less disability u have the more u need to work etc. its beyond predatory its impossible to live in this country

Sure, everyone CAN read capslock or lapselock, but they read it more slowly and with less comprehnsion. There are whole fields of experts in usability/web design, technical communication, and marketing who've studied how people read in English to figure this stuff out.
There are lots of studies about capslock text in particular because it's a common mistake. People read on average 13%-20% slower AND with lowered reading comprehension. The longer the passage, the bigger the problem. So it's one thing to put a word or a sentence in capslock, or write a poem in lapselock (hello e.e.cummings I'm looking at you), and another to write an entire story.
If you don't use normal case and capitalization, you're taking away all the signposts readers use to process text efficiently. Letter shape helps us identify words faster (all-caps letters have very similar shapes, lower-case are more differentiated). Capital letters signal where a new sentence begins, and puncuation helps readers find phrases. Leaving out text elements that help us comprehend text doesn't make something impossible to read, but readers have to use more energy and focus to make sense of it.
Anyway, don't make things harder for your readers for no reason if you want them to read your stuff. It's not really snobbish or unfair of a reader to decide they don't want to expend 20% extra effort to have the same amount of story enjoyment as if they just picked a story that's more readable.
its always the latinos that get the vaguest shit cuz nobody wants to think about us as actually diverse with many different dialects of spanish and just… can yall be a little more inclusive when it comes to talking about latino characters too?
the rep we have is very little and then yall just go assigning whatever hispanic ethnicity you want to latino characters while ignoring the ethnicity of the actor
to make it clear, imma list the characters and ethnicities of the actors for yall
b’elanna- puertorican
chakotay- mexican
hugh culber- afropuertorican
hugh borg - uruguayan
cristobal rios - chilean
i kept it to main characters only but please we are so much more than just hispanic/latino dont just leave our representation at the door. please just hold us as dear in your heart as you do others to bother and research about us too
the fact that shauna is the only one that actually ends up with a kid she gave birth too in the adult timeline. she gave birth once and then did it again even after losing the first. however, all the other survivors didn’t. sure, tai has sammy but it seems like he was simmone’s birth child. which doesn’t make sammy any less tai’s but she didn’t give birth to him, she didn’t go through what she watched shauna suffer through.
natalie was too detached, misty involved in her work, van with her store and illness, and lottie with her people. none of them ever had a child because of what they saw shauna go through, the pain the hysteria, the “why can’t you hear him crying?!” I feel like thats why lottie’s reaction is so soft to callie even after being shot by her, this taking off the mask and being in awe that shauna raised a kid, unlike what she could do with the first one :(
Travis and Nat’s no suicide pact has a whole other layer now. Javi died for them, for Nat to live, for Travis not to lose Nat. Either of them killing themselves would be an insult to Javi’s memory and make his death pointless. Through all the years, all the breakups, the fights, the ups and downs, they kept that promise. Nat’s refusal to believe Travis committed suicide is more visceral now that we know the past behind the pact. Her decision to kill herself in s1 when she finally accepts that Travis wasn’t murdered, that he had really done it also takes another dimension. She was freed from the pact, from having to honor Javi’s and Travis’ sacrifice.
Guys, doesn’t Tai look like a tree right now? Or do the trees look like Taissa?
your shitty dad makes you come to his stupid girls soccer team nationals but at least you get to take a private jet to seattle and then next thing you know you’re eating the girl you lost your virginity to
and then you’re eating your brother

I feel like when I say ‘relatable’ what I really mean is ‘resonant.’ I don’t want characters who I feel are like me, I want characters who have emotions so strong I can feel them through the page.
thinking about that kakapo egg that got crushed but the conservation team patched it up and it survived
life will persist against all odds
For those who don’t follow kakapo conservation, they are critically endangered parrots who only breed on years where the rimu tree they rely on meet a certain threshold of fruit production. One breeding season in 4 years can be typical, and about half of all eggs laid by kakapo are infertile (they still aren’t completely certain why, it could be a recent population bottleneck) so each fertile egg is worth its weight in gold.
This was one of only 5 fertile eggs laid on the Whenua Hou island population in the 2014 breeding season and it got crushed by its mother on accident. It was mended with glue and tape and incubated by the rangers until hatching.
At 150 days old kakapo chicks are officially added to the population total and given a unique name, until then they are given their mother’s name and a number for birth order laid in the clutch. This chick was known as Lisa-one before officially being given the name Ruapuke by local indigenous Ngai Tahu people.Here he is grown up:
anyways. heart necklace being a sign of love between shauna and jackie and then shauna crying and putting it on nat before she's supposed to slit her throat. a way to show love despite what they collectively agreed to do what they think the wilderness told them to do
@ellieswlliams why would you do this to me
@itspaolomontalban: It’s been 25 years and I remain equal parts humbled and grateful to have witnessed how @cinderellamusical has connected and uplifted so many communities over the generations. To every child (and impossible dreamer) out there… Remember. You can be whatever you want to be. ✨
