Here's what it's about.

It’s being paid up front just 10% of what your efforts are actually worth, told that the remaining 90% will be coming later as the episodes get re-aired in syndication...and then pulling the plug on that whole 90% pay structure.

Can we just acknowledge this video for a second

For those curious, the guy dancing is known as B-Boy Atsushi and is a member of a b-boy group called “Real Akiba Boyz” on Youtube and the lady is Saki Fujita, the voice bank for Hatsune Miku

omg i found this video on youtube called “elk hunting chihuahua” and the guy is like “make sure you have a good hunting dog” and just opens his backpack to reveal his lil chihuahua named coco and tells us how amazing she is at hunting

and then he just whips her out and says “you gotta have one of these things, they can track, and they’re just the best hunting dogs in the world” and that was the whole video and honestly i’ve never wanted a chihuahua more in my life

IM CRYING HES HOLDING HER LIKE AN ORANGE

ok ok ok this post is a great intro but!! the whole vid is an unexpected wonder

like

he talks for a while about general hunting prep without even a HINT of a chihuahua. i was watching it thinking, where is the dog??

“hey everyone. it’s that time of the year, september 18th, elk are in full rut, they’ve been bugling, just want to go over a few things that i bring with me. always have an extra layer of gear, rain gear, looks like we’ve got weather coming in, it was 32 degrees this morning. i always have my cow call in here, i’ve got glasses, i’ve got rain gear, i’ve got beef jerky, gun, water, all that good stuff, so, most important thing though is make sure you have a real good companion. i like to bring my hunting dog, if you don’t have a good dog, this dog—”

AND THEN

FROM THE BACKPACK HE HAS BEEN CASUALLY HOLDING BY HIS HIP

SHE EMERGES

“—can hunt.

COCO BLINKS BLANDLY IN THE SUDDEN SUNLIGHT

“name’s coco, don’t let the size fool you, she’s all business when it comes to hunting so, she’s a good watchdog”

CAMERA GETS TOO CLOSE TO COCO, WHO GOES ABSOLUTELY FERAL

“ow ow, wow, see— she will take your fi— [to coco] come on, settle down settle down, here we go, we’re going hunting right now”

*slings coco into the air like a bag of trail mix*

“you gotta have one of these things”

*coco furiously wags her tiny tail*

My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.

I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)

So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”. 

I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask. 

This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.

Pain Scale transcription:

10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.

9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.

8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.

7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.

6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.

5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.

4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.

3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.

2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.

1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.

0 - I have no pain.

It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly. 

For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day. 

There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”

I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years 

Here’s the fatigue scale

Fatigue scale image desc:

10: can barely move; can’t talk

9: can barely move; can talk

8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV

7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously

6: can do work on my computer lying in bed

5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out

4: can run a light errand

3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy

2: can do three or more activities in a single day

1: going clubbing!

Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:

MILD

1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!

2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.

3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.

MODERATE

4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.

5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.

6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.

SEVERE

7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.

8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.

9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.

10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.

These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!

These are important and super helpful. These are the best I have ever seen. They make SENSE.

This Man We Never Met

Since it’s the anniversary of Freddie Mercury’s death, I thought I’d write a little poem for all of the Queen fans who, like me, were born after Freddie died.

Do any of us remember the day,

We first heard the voice of our dear Freddie?

In the car with our parents? At a party with friends?

We heard a song so iconic, we just had to listen.

And on that day, however it went,

We first found this man we never met.

And so we learned his name and face,

And in our hearts, he found a place.

We watched every interview, old concert, and more,

And buried ourselves in Freddie Mercury lore.

We knew it’s as close as we could ever get,

To knowing this man we never met.

We joined the throngs of fans, young and old,

For pictures unseen and tales untold.

We all came together for music and fun,

And all-new friendships that now had begun.

Then came we, with no regrets,

To love this man we never met.

His legacy precedes him, that is to say,

We knew of his music before his name.

He worked very hard for all that he had,

And lived his life fully, the good and the bad.

We saw this through blood, and  tears, and sweat,

Of this passionate man, we never met.

Now we’re all here together, to say what we can,

Of how we’ve been changed by this one special man.

He’s become a myth, a legend, a muse,

A source of inspiration, for us all to use.

Now it seems that we all owe a debt,

To this wonderful man, we never met.

Can it be said that stars shine too bright?

Too glorious a beacon, for our lonely nights?

His light snuffed out before we could see,

His suffering over, his soul set free.

Leaving we, who weren’t here yet,

To miss this man, we never met.

Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”

Damn, NYPD is so bad, Mafia started protecting good cops

My country is bleeding.

Peru is experiencing coup right now and we NEED international attention because our police force is killing us.

We are marching peacefully but the government is repressing us any way they can. Even national tv is denying the whole truth.

PLEASE SHARE AND TELL YOUR AUTHORITIES ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY COUNTRY
