Here and There

Here is a place for all things I love. That could include writing, various forms of art, tv, movies, music, anime, camping, or my ball jointed doll collection. Slightly random and lots of fun.

Problems of mine money would fix

-allow me to repair my moms crumbling home

-Hire an exterminator

-Not have me rack up debt for needed medical care 

-Buy a house where I can live comfortably and have my own space where i can be organized.

-Afford vacations to relax and take care of my mental health

-Quit a job I hate and focus on my business

-Allow me to pay off the student loan debt of my loved ones and relief severe financial distress.

-Move my bestfriend closer so she can have access to her support network

-Since I quit my crappy job I can arrange my schedule to see friends and extended family more including my Grandma who has cancer for .. the 6th time I believe. She is my only living grandparent and a lot of my extended family who I am close to are in their 70′s and 80′s so I would like to enjoy the time I have

-Hire a cleaning service. My adhd self is terrible at doing all those little things like dusting and cleaning windows. If I could afford to pay someone GOOD money for a few hours a week to help with that, it would be amazing for my mental health and well being. It would force me to make sure the house is not cluttered for when the cleaning service comes. Twice a week would be ideal but I could work with once a week.

There are probably more but really I could reduce my life’s issues by at least 75% with more money.

If anyone ever thinks that nobody will remember you or miss you if you die:

Today I read about a 17 year old girl who died recently. I didnt recognise her name, but I recognise her face.

I used to work at Subway, and I remember her. She would come in every Friday with her friends and order a tuna sandwich, double cheese and toasted. I knew her order off by heart because it was all she ever ordered, and she would always be very polite. I never knew her name until today.

I haven't seen her since I quit working there, 3 years ago. But I remember her and I remember her voice and her order and how polite she was and how I was always jealous of her hair. Now she will never order another 6 inch tuna sub and that is really upsetting me.

Somebody will miss you. Someone will remember you. The cashier at your local shop. The woman who always likes seeing you walk your dog. Your next door neighbours. A fellow school pupil who always admires your makeup or your hair. You will be missed.

Reblogging again to add. I befriended a girl 6 months before she committed suicide. I met her maybe 4 times, we mostly communicated online. She was so kind. She invited me to her house for easter because i had to work through my family dinner. She died a month before her 18th birthday. I still think about her all the time. It's been 11 years. Some of the details might be fuzzy but i will never forget.

Do any other american high schoolers have intense survivor’s guilt and trauma with school shootings even though they weren’t at your school?

[butchtj-deactivated20190316]

Like. A laser tag place opened geared towards teenagers and it got no business, we tried to enjoy it but when someone pointed a laser machine gun at me and I instinctively dropped behind the nearest wall and reached to turn off my phone I cried, I wasn’t the only one. The announcements system turns on at an unexpected time and everyone holds their breath until they say something besides “locks, lights, out of sight,” nobody even jokingly pops chip bags anymore, a door slammed really loud during a class change and everyone dropped and ran. Everyone cries during drills, even the toughest ranch kids. Every drill comes with a full day of teachers crying and telling us that they love us all so much and will die for us, and every kid in every class looking around wondering who would I die for? Who would die for me? You walk to the bathroom and wonder every second if it happens right now, where will I go? You test supply closet doors to see which ones are unlocked, you memorize which furniture in the teachers’ lounge your English teacher says is light enough to barricade a door with. The fire alarm goes off and nobody moves, instead you wait for gunshots—it a trap? You stand with a group of freshmen and realize that you’re the oldest, you know you’ll have to die for them. You forget your ID tag and worry that now the police won’t be able to tell your parents if you’re safe, or not safe. Your stats teacher has a baseball bat by the door, your math teacher keeps a stapler under each desk to throw, your drama teacher asks who will be willing to stand by the non-locking door with the Shakespearean swords. Your yearbook teacher tells you don’t worry about breaking a camera because you heard about the kids who died holding them. You don’t use the bathroom during classes because you don’t want to be the only target to shoot at. You keep your phone on silent 24/7 because you worry the one time you forget will be when you get your whole US History class killed. You have a snap saved with your class schedule and school and full name to send in an instant to your internet friends so they know if you were on that wing, you have a note saved with the things you want your mom to know and the things you’re sorry for. At the age of 12 I was told I needed to know who I would die for and that it was okay if it was nobody, that was my decision to make. School shootings control us more than adults and non-Americans could possibly imagine and nobody moves to change anything unless we’re actively screaming for it. Have you considered we’re too scared?

[tehdoctah]

The absolute fuck. The fuck did I just read. This sounds like dystopian fiction. The fucking fuck.

[allthingshyper]

It isn’t. This is 100% the reality of all American children - not the ones that live in bad neighborhoods, not the ones that make bad choices, ALL OF THEM.

Welcome to America.

[kentuckyfriedbooks]

This reminds me of a discussion we had in one of my classes the other day-

My professor was describing how everyone from her generation had the same nightmare of a nuke going off. In they dream they all saw the same mushroom cloud and everything. She said that she didn’t think my generation had a dream like that; one that everyone shared and had

For a while none of us could disagree with her. Until this popped up. I raised my hand and mentioned that everyone I knew had an active shooter dream at one point or another. And Every. Single. Person. Nodded. All of us had that dream. All of us.

Pretty telling, huh?

[aristocrowcy]

The mere notion that highschool children might have survivor’s guilt is sickening

[angeliclizard]

I was in middle school when columbine happened. 9th grade for 9-11 and things have only gotten worse.

I have a reoccuring dream that I am with my scouts on a field trip and one or more gunman shows up since its a public place (usually a museum or thr subway stationn in DC for some reason).

These kids are in my care. What if I can't protect them because some angry white guy decides he needs to shoot people to protect himself.

We can't take trips because of co id but i always think. Where can we hide. What direction would we go. Is it better to run or lie down here. If I'm close enough and i tackle them could i knock the gun away before i die. Where do i tell the kids to meet me. Anything to not have to make a call to someones parents.

[catgirlapologist]

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

[catgirlapologist]

schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face

yall: "yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://"

[sunshineysprinkles]

Practice being kinder to yourself. Instead of picking out all your flaws when you look in the mirror, try to find the things you like about yourself instead, even if they may start off as simple as liking the color of your eyes. Instead of being angry at yourself when you mess up and telling yourself you’re a failure, cut yourself some slack and tell yourself that mistakes happen, you’ll do better next time. Treat yourself like you love yourself and one day you will.

[bogleech]

For decades, the medical community has ignored mountains of evidence to wage a cruel and futile war on fat people, poisoning public perception and ruining millions of lives. It's time for a new paradigm.

“Diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible. “

[chrisco90]

Fatsplaining at its finest. I don’t give a fuck when someone chooses to not be healthy, but don’t sit there and make bullshit excuses and blame anything other than yourself and your lack of self control. Take responsibility and own up to it, you’re not fooling anyone.

[bogleech]

I’m sorry other people’s shapes make you so angry that you pretend science is wrong

Author posted some great follow up tweets: https://twitter.com/RottenInDenmark/status/1043141336239497217

[nicolauda]

That twitterer, Michael Hobbes, runs a podcast called Maintenance Phase with Aubrey Gordon, all about diet fads and junk science. It’s really helped me with unlearning some of the anti-fat thinking I’ve developed over the years, would recommend.

[deadignoredead]

some of y’all need to learn more compassion for adults who are severely mentally ill or disabled… like schizophrenics who still depend on their family members and probably always will have to, autistic people who live in group homes, people with bipolar disorder who attend partial inpatient programs, etc…. people who couldn’t get college degrees, who can’t work. not everyone is like you.

[deadignoredead]

the responses on this post are overwhelming honestly. we are a part of your communities and we are here. i hope every one of you this post applies to has a good or better day.

[leafinsect-deactivated20201122]

[xedramon]

What an amazing little tutorial!!! Highly recommend!!!

[a-humble-waffle]

I’m so mad that it’s this easy and I’m a struggle boi

[shitlordofthebitches]

Fucking really??? That’s all it took?????

[cinnabuncrumbs]

wow! this works really well!!! now i can start easily plotting out how the hallways of my new children’s hospital are going to look :)

[im-a-dragon-cawcaw]

I love color theory

[sixft]

god it is so fucked up and so infuriating that embalming is a requirement in so many places to hold a viewing

[sixft]

and the worst part is that its so fake like legally this isnt really a thing but you have so many nasty old money hungry funeral directors leeching money from widows and those in mourning just so they can see their loved one one more time im so mad

[sixft]

dead bodies literally are not dangerous 9/10 times corpse air does not exist and yet you have multi level funeral homes like altima in spain who literally do not allow viewings without the body being placed in a glass coffin or behind a fucking window which again costs thousands and thousands of dollars its so stupid

[sixft]

do your research i am begging all of you to do research because the funeral industry is so not what anyone thinks it is. get into green death and eco burial activism. get into the practice of being death positive. check out recompose life and the stuff that theyre starting because its amazing. throwing bodies into the ground is not as dangerous as directors want you to think

[sixft]

AND LIKE green death is literally the only disposition that doesnt hurt people!! embalming is bad for everyone involved. cremation puts out really bad chemicals and uses a shit ton of energy. alkaline hydrolysis is another great alternative but too many people think its "gross" or whatever. look at me. look me in the eyes. look me in my tumblr dot com eyes. when you die, you can get tossed into the dirt. it is literally your funeral. get what you want

[sixft]

on another note, i am begging my bipoc and lgbtq+ friends (esp trans bipoc) to think about death. i know how morbid this is trust me. i know its offputting. there are too many trans people who die misgendered. research your rights to die trans. caitlin doughty has a really good video on this but im literally in the middle of my funeral directing class so i cant find it rn

Okay but lets illustrate how much white privileged is involved with this story. The weapons this little demon used to kill Grant Nelson were stolen from Walmart. She walked into Walmart, grabbed a machete and a knife, and then just casually walked out the door without anyone attempting to stop her. You get a box of tampons from Walmart and you don’t have it in a bag, they wanna check your receipt. Becky the Sociopath walked out unchecked with literal weapons.

Then she had time to wait outside for the uber this poor man drove to come pick her up. Then she got in his back seat and stabbed him multiple times, pushed him out onto the street, and stole the car. He was able to tell the police who stabbed him before he died. She then crashes the car and is found by the police hiding behind a tree covered in blood. The police try to gently coerce her into dropping her fucking blood covered knives and when she refuses do they shoot her eight times? Oh noooo Lizzy Borden gets tazed and brought in unharmed.

Like just think about the stories that have come out these past two weeks alone. The unarmed black teenager who were literally murdered based on vague suspicion and this girl actually kills someone and is still standing.

[themiscyra1983]

The white girl who stole weapons from Walmart and killed an Uber driver was taken alive.

The white guy who took weapons to a convention and planned to kill Jason David Frank and multiple police officers was taken alive.

The white guy who murdered two men who had tried to defend the Muslim women he was harassing was taken alive.

Don’t tell me police had to kill Tamir Rice or Michael Brown or ANYONE else out of caution or fear for their safety. Not when white people who are legitimate threats, even direct threats to police, are routinely taken alive.

[scottbear]

Probably has more to do with her being a minor than race. So stop hussling hate and division. They usually don’t reveal the names or photos of minors.

[quezycoatl]

bruh the cops pulled up to a 12 year old boy at a playground and shot him dead without giving him basically any warning. Don’t tell me that cops give a shit about minors if they’re not white.

Ohhhh now THIS is not fair. Dresses make me dysphoric like 90% of the time, but I want trans bats 😭

[cipheramnesia]

Good news, nerdykeppie.com, where the dress comes from, does their designs on LOTS of different clothes and stuff so you can probably get tights or a shirt or something like that. Check em out.

[vaspider]

We got joggers! Button up shirts! laptop cases! boots! sneakers! basically if you can think of a clothing item we can probably put trans bats on it! :D

[ravenmirror]

Y'all I had to hunt this video down again because

I got THIS beautiful email a few minutes ago. This video caused such an uptick in traffic and business that production was briefly delayed.

[vaspider]

Yes, that ABSOLUTELY happened. :) We were also able to:

Invest in a sublimation printer and heat press for our home studio

Pay some back bills

Buy supplies to create new and beautiful displays for conventions, including lights, new grid walls that aren't rusted, and a huge roll of velcro fabric for making a patch display

Send very nice flowers for the funeral of one of our employees' moms, who unfortunately passed away the same weekend :/

Make a donation to a charity of Dakota's choice bc we're super grateful for her video and the traffic it gave us

Give all of our employees a bonus equal to at least one week's pay at their usual hours (our PT employees start at $20/hr and no we are not currently hiring, sorry!)

Bump up everyone's hours for a couple weeks which meant

We got some organizational projects done which really needed to be done and gave our workers some more income AND I could afford a couple of hours for Jake to take some Skillshare Photoshop classes on the clock

So thank y'all very very much. 💗

[westleyjackson]

That is so awesome. Is that the reason the dresses aren't on the site anymore? They're just too far back ordered at this time? I was reaaaaaally wanting a bi-bat dress 💜🦇

[vaspider]

Wait, what? They're totally on the site.

[daughterofscotland]

YOU HAVE A DEMISEXUAL SECTION???

[vaspider]

We totally, totally do. My wife is demi/grey ace, so. :)

[angeliclizard]

Nerdiekeppie has the cutest clothes. I need to order some stuff for me and the fiancee.

[iguanamouth]

wasabi got out of the backyard the other day by digging a hole under the fence while i wasnt paying attention and ended up being found by the neighbors and i wanted to see how she did it………………heres the basket of fruit i gave them afterwards

[angeliclizard]

One day when getting ready for mynschool concert my dads iguana escaped the house. I had to run around in my dress clothes and shoes looking for a rouge lizard. We found him basking on the neighbors cement patio.

[geekhyena]

oh god I just lost it laughing

[xenosaurus]

One of my favorite tricks for designing alien species/cultures is to take a real animal with an interesting lifecycle and think about what that biology would translate to if they had human intelligence

[xenosaurus]

Example: silk moths as a base species

Because the moths themselves don’t eat and only live long enough to mate and then starve to death, the entire culture is made up of children and adolescents. The older children raise the younger ones, with families being made up of hatchmates from different years.

Because molts and eventual transformation into a short lived adult happen on a set schedule, families have a cycle— when your oldest set of siblings cocoon to become adults, you wait at the mating grounds and try to adopt their newborns after they pass. If that fails, you take any ‘orphans’ you can find.

Because death and birth are nearly simultaneous, they have a religion based around reincarnation, and infants with markings similar to a parent are often given their name. Claiming the offspring of a beloved family member is vitally important, because you want to be able to protect their soul and keep them close.

Because it’s hard to track the offspring of your male family members, there are sometimes major fights when a family sees an infant with familiar markings in another family’s clutch.

Between mating seasons, their culture is extremely food-oriented, because everyone is growing and silkworms eat nigh constantly. They spend most of their lives outdoors but sleep and shelter from bad weather in large family dwellings made from wood and the remains of the silk cocoons of prior generations.

[xenosaurus]

everyone is really vibing with the silkworm aliens I see
