DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

Do not give to the Salvation Army.

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

Could I have any recommendations of who to give to?

I don’t really know much about US charities but I would suggest Oxfam as an international charity (even though I know they had a Haiti scandal recently, but they are a lot better in terms of track record than Salvation Army).

For me in Ireland, I always give to Rape Crisis Centres or Suicide Help Centres, LGBT youth support centre, or women’s crisis centres.

In England please donate and offer support to the Albert Kennedy trust if you’re interested in supporting young lgbt homeless people! I’m not sure of many other charities, but I’ve worked with AKT and they’re all wonderful people who offer wonderful care and support.

The normalization of stimulant-usage as the standard method of ensuring enough energy in the day to perform labour is itself a massive sign that the economic demands placed upon humans are inhumane. I wish more people were aware that “Needing coffee just to wake up.” is a sign that your lifestyle is killing you - and that those who demand you maintain that lifestyle through economic coercion are endangering your wellbeing for profit.

Hey guys! I had an amazing time at the 2018 Ctn Animation Expo!

This is artwork for the banner that was on display at the convention. I still have a couple smaller 7” x 17” prints leftover, so if you’re interested, message me for price and shipping info

as a conservative who believes in Ford's accusations, the Supreme Court issue right now is going to be my litmus test on the Republican Party. If Congressional Republicans still confirm Cavanaugh after it has become apparent that he may be a rapist East, I will officially change my registration from Republican do either non-affiliated or Democrat. This is the final straw for me.

At my last company, one day someone in accounting approached me at lunch and quietly told me I need to ask for a raise because I was way underpaid.

They gave me a number to shoot for.  It was about twice than what I had been making at the time.

So I went online, did some research, found some figures backing up my claim, put it all together and went to my boss.

I got what I asked for.

If it hadn’t been for that person in accounting telling me I was way underpaid, I’d have never known.  I went from barely scraping by to being able to have a savings account and getting all my debts paid thanks to them.

You should at least check sites like salary.com to start the process of seeing what you should be making.

Because this is crucially important

Except for the fact that 90% of the time you are under contract not to talk about your salary otherwise the company can sue you. Every job I’ve had I’ve had to sign that I won’t discuss my pay with other employees otherwise my employment is terminated and the company will take legal action.

Watching Ruby and Sapphire kiss on the lips is so satisfying, nevermind that they’re literally two lesbians proposing and getting married on children’s programing, imo that kiss would’ve made cartoon history on its own. It’s not implied, cast off far away onto the background where you have to squint to see it, or even a quick peck on the cheek, it’s right on the lips and right FRONT AND CENTER with the shot zoomed in onto their faces holding there for a moment so it’s impossible to miss and it’s just so passionate and romantic and on your face and I gotta say after a lifetime of having to settle for subtext or “I dunno they might be girlfriends…it’s up to your interpretation ;)” from cishet creators, it feels so incredibly refreshing and I really owe Rebecca Sugar and this show my entire gay life

Rebecca Sugar fought the hell back against not only the people trying to deny that Ruby and Sapphire were romantically in love, but also the countries trying to erase the lesbianism by casting a male VA for Ruby.

She had them getting married, put Ruby in a dress with flowers in her hair so it was abundantly clear she was a woman (or a cross-dresser which I’m sure these countries wouldn’t approve of either), put the wedding in the middle of a HUGELY PLOT IMPORTANT EPISODE that they can’t just refuse to air, and had Garnet spend her entire time in the episode in her tux/dress fusion and everyone else spend the episode in their fancy clothes so they couldn’t just try to cut out the wedding stuff.

Rebecca Sugar is a fucking legend whom we don’t deserve but still somehow have B”H.
