What if I don’t have a doctor? Or I don’t trust my doctor?

Call one of the two hotlines below. They’re toll-free, multilingual, and provide accurate, confidential consultations about your options. They can refer you to your closest local providers.

  1. The National Abortion Federation Hotline at (877-257-0012)
  2. Planned Parenthood of America at (800-230-PLAN)

Warning: do not deviate from the above list. You run the risk of stumbling into “crisis pregnancy centers.” They are NOT medical providers. They are anti-choice religious organizations that will happily use guilt, shame, medical misinformation, data manipulation, high-pressure sales tactics, and outright lies to convince you to carry your pregnancy to term.

a while back i read a post along the lines of “if you feel like everyone hates you, it’s time to rest… if you feel like you hate everyone else, it’s time to eat” and honest to god i’ve never used any piece of advice more than i have that one

I always add on “if you feel like you hate yourself, it’s time to take a shower” to turn it into a trifecta.

I wonder if this is the ramification of the announcement that nVidia is going to make changes to their GPUs so you can't crypto mine with them.

Also here's a filter list that blocks scripts that mine crypto in the background to make it harder for them to do what they want.

https://github.com/hoshsadiq/adblock-nocoin-list

good find, if you're using uBlock Origin, do this:

1) click uBlock Origin's icon in the browser, 2) go to the lower-right and click on "open dashboard" (the icon with the cogwheels), 3) go to the "filter lists" tab, scroll to the bottom, 4) tick "Import...", 5) paste the url from the page and 6) then click "apply changes" at the top

I really hate those stupids posts that are like:

“What about REAL monster girls??? Not just weird humans?? like real huge MONSTERS?? With giant sharp claws and big sharp teeth?? Where are those???”

You’re thinking of bestiality. You want to fuck a T-Rex.

If it passes the Harkness Test, I’m down.

For the uninformed:

I was already gonna reblog because of the Harkness Test, but that gif made a good post great.

reblogging to add that if you want to skip the advertised sales and shop clearance, shop three seasons ahead if you can. look at shorts in november, coats and pants in april or may, jackets in july. that’s when stuff hits the deep clearance racks to make room for the next two seasons.

Seizure First Aid. 

Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it. 

100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)

I have epilepsy so making sure the word is out on how to help people who do have seizures means a lot to me.

Also epileptic. It’s sad that we have to tell people this in 2021, but thank God it’s accurate for once.

This is actually such an amazingly motivational post because it explains visually exactly what art block is. Do you know what art block is?

Art block is that moment when you realise your skills could be so much more then they currently are. It frustrates you to draw because you can finally see your drawings differently. You can see where they can be better and you want them to be better.  It’s not a matter of “I can’t draw today”, it’s a matter of “I imagined this would turn out so much better” and “there’s something missing, I just know it. What technique did I miss.” You’ve got past that temporary phase of analysing and researching and now you’re able to incorporate it in your own work, you just need to figure out how, and when you get past that art block. Well, you’ll see the improvement before you know it. Slowly, but it’s there. And once you get comfortable with using those new skills you’ll move on and start analysing again, and you’ll see where you can improve.

Stay experimental and open to learn, it’s the quickest way to get over art block.

So many of my family members are dealing with this. And they’ve found that the company has made opting out of auto pay damn near impossible. The place where it used to be on the site has changed, calling results in getting disconnected, when they finally found it on the site, it “times out” when they try to cancel….its just a fucking mess.

We got lucky. I’m like 80% sure we have a rate cap because I haven’t seen it spike and I’ve been watching it fairly closely. But I’ve got aunts, geandparents, friends who have had their entire paycheck taken for electric bills when they barely had power for 3 hours over the course of 5 days. Money they needed to replace food gone bad, to fix water damage, to make car repairs, all gone to a bill that shouldn’t even exist because they didn’t even have power for 3 days.

Friendly tip from a long-time bank employee…  If your money is on autopay directly from your account# or card, you can put a STOP PAYMENT on that shit!  But do it at least 3 days before it is due to be pulled from your account.  There may be a $20-30 fee for it, but that is much better than a power company trying to pull hundreds from your account and overdrafting you.

Also, if they already pulled a ridiculous amount of money from you… if you believe that the charges are for power that you did not use you likely can file a dispute with your bank.  If you lost power tell them about that and say that services were not received, or if there are sudden new previously not disclosed fees you can state that the price is different than disclosed. Those sorts of reasons should keep banking systems from messing with the account itself, as it would do for a fraud claim.  Filing a dispute against your power company might not get you your money back, but it MAY.  It may also allow the bank to waive a stop payment fee if you fear a second round of hiked rates.  Just ask the banker about that before filing the stop paymen as some systems will ONLY waive the fee if it’s done DURING the dispute process…. 

But!  You have to remember that the stop payment is there until YOU remove it.  While some banks may remove them after 6 months, or 1-5 years…. it will be your responsibility to remember to reestablish your payment relationship with the power company, and you’ll also then need to let your bank about it when you want to start allowing payments to process again so they can remove the block.

And for those worried that it might somehow look shady: No, the banker will NOT think you’re trying to pull a fast one.  The banker is 10000% likely to be on your side when you explain the situation and ask them questions. 

If this information helps even one person then I’ll consider it a wonderful use of my time to type it out and post it.   Y’all stay STRONG!!!

Word Counter - Not only does it count the number of words you’ve written, it tells you which words are used most often and how many times they appear.

Tip Of My Tongue - Have you ever had a word on the tip of your tongue, but you just can’t figure out what it is? This site searches words by letters, length, definition, and more to alleviate that.

Readability Score - This calculates a multitude of text statistics, including character, syllable, word, and sentence count, characters and syllables per word, words per sentence, and average grade level.

Writer’s Block (Desktop Application) - This free application for your computer will block out everything on your computer until you meet a certain word count or spend a certain amount of time writing.

Cliche Finder - It does what the name says.

Write Rhymes - It’ll find rhymes for words as you write.

Verbix - This site conjugates verbs, because English is a weird language.

Graviax - This grammar checker is much more comprehensive than Microsoft Word, again, because English is a weird language.

Sorry for how short this is! I wanted to only include things I genuinely find useful. p>

I had to do a book report on a book of our choice back in high school from anything in the school library and present it too the class.  Johnathan Swift is actually a not-so-distant relative of mine and funny as hell in an extremely dark way so naturally I did A Modest Proposal.  My english teacher at the time was very fond of me, but there were limits to the Pissy Teenage Bullshit he’d tolerate even from me, so I waited until he was out of town and our math teacher was substituting for him to submit my book report proposal.

Fig. 1: A re-creation of the opening powerpoint slide that got me called a “MOTHERFUCKER” by an adult for the first time in my life, an accomplishment that still fills me with pride and glee.
