if you vote me for president i vow to make everything the ocean again. no more land only ocean. this will solve all of our problems and replace them with new, far more interesting problems
you donāt realize how important lunch is until youāre wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then itās 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?
And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure youāre legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partnerās assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
If your spouse fights you on any of this, then donāt quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.
also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. donāt risk thinking āheās just stressed, itāll get better when the baby comesā because it wonāt. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said āmight as well see if it works.ā I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if youāre a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.
dude.
$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.
Hospitals like to hide these policies under a lot of successive links in obscure places, so if you don't see anything right away, keep looking! Get friends to help! Make it a scavenger hunt. A game where you're assassins sent to slit capitalism's throat
ive talked about this before but im really of the opinion that self harm scars (and healed scars in general, really) should Not be given content warnings. they are a physical trait of the body that many people have, and it's honestly kind of fucked up to imply there's something inherently triggering or upsetting about someone having them at all.
what kind of message does it send when you say "depicting this physical trait isn't allowed, and if you do so you should hide it"?
Hope you don't mind me rambling on here but this post reminded me of someone and I figured I'd share?
I've been taking a model drawing class for like 5 years now and we've had a great variety of models, because 1. anyone's welcome and 2. it's much more valuable to learn to draw from observation when you get models of different genders, ages and body types, rather than only looking at an "ideal" body.
One of them is a girl whose (non-English) name translates to Victory and she is, in my humble artist's opinion, very beautiful! She's tall, has soft features but a stronger nose, a really cool tattoo on her chest, and also, her forearms are stacked with scars.
None of us have ever made a deal out of this, even if the 15 of us are -to put it bluntly- staring at her in the nude for 3 hours and taking in every detail to put it to paper. Those healed scars don't make her any more or less beautiful, they make her Victory. When I first noticed them I felt a slight sadness for the Victory of the past but mostly a lot of admiration for the present Victory, posing for an art class with nothing to be ashamed of.
People who think scars can't be shown/are gross/inherently triggering need to check themselves because any victory over your past struggles is worth it. I'm adding a drawing below the cut, just because I feel like her likeness deserves to be seen without actually like... having a photo of her spread without her consent, of course.
āEridians dislike earth because they abandoned Grace.ā *Incorrect Buzzer Sound* ya missed the point of the story buddy! Itās not about someone being ābadā itās about the incredible power of love and that love being worth dying for!
Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying āWe know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and heās safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.ā
Give me humans sitting on Earth slowly coming to the conclusion that when we look up not only are we not alone, someone out there is alive because of one of us. That no matter what we think of ourselves a whole species thinks highly of us because we helped save the galaxy. Give me humans who figure out how to send a probe to Erid filled to the brim with messages for Grace and footage of a monument being raised that reads his name, his crews names, and then āin memory of the 22 Eridians who lost their lives on the journey to save the stars.ā
