Sadly, the day of twos has (nearly) come to an end. An event, occuring once in hundreds of lifetimes, has gone by. It was rather uneventful, however rare it may be. I suppose if something becomes too few or too far between, nobody will even think of it anymore.
A sad moment, but really, it's nothing but a coincedence that happened in our lifetimes. Goodbye twosday, it was a fun time.
Happy twosday bitches
so it turns out the op of that ‘virginity is a social construct’ post is a terf, so i’m making my own version for me and my friends ✌️
anyway, virginity as an idea is made up, but that doesn’t mean that your first time having sex - or making out, getting to x base, giving oral, literally whatever - isn’t important! it can be emotionally important, whether because of culture or religion or just because it’s important to you. it’s a vulnerable act, and while virginity shouldn’t be deified or anything, we also shouldn’t be pushing people 100% the other way and say sex is meaningless, that we should have it whenever with whoever. that kind of disregard for one’s own mental and physical wellbeing isn’t the solution.
also, pregnancy, infection, safety, and general Bad Times TM aren’t fake. sex has - i don’t want to say consequences, cause that’s not it, but it has things attached to it. keeping those things in mind isn’t a bad thing. being reticent or fully unwilling to have sex because of those - or any other - reasons isn’t a bad thing. this all goes for people of any gender btw!
virginity is fake, but everything that comes with sex isn’t

So, here’s my situation: I have been trying to work with unemployment for months now, and I have also just started my spring semester. Thing is that despite meeting with unemployment and qualifying for financial aid this semester, I haven’t received any assistance. Unemployment in particular I have been working with for several months and despite updating on my status as a student, still hasn’t given anything. Also, job prospects are low on the ground for me personally.
In the meantime, I need immediate help with paying rent and bills. I’d appreciate it if you could share this post and help out if you can. You can donate directly through Paypal, Venmo or Cashapp. I’d prefer if you DM me for my Paypal due to it having my deadname.
Venmo: @/FarahT
Cashapp: $Underwraps77
Thanks. <3
Why do people stop commenting on fics if they’re more than a week or two old? Please comment on old fics. Tell me you like my one shot from 2014. Tell me you like my old multi-chap I finished in 2016 that I spent a year writing. I will be fucking thrilled.
Fics are not social media posts. There’s no “stalking” someone’s “old posts”. They’re meant to be found and enjoyed years down the line. No need to be nervous.
I reblog this message every time it comes across my dash because it’s true. And also:
When I first started writing fanfic, back in the mid 1990s (yes! the late twentieth century!) one of the discouraging things about it was that people treated fanfic as if it was disposable. It seemed like what most readers wanted was a constant stream of new content, whereas I tend to produce one big work every 6-12 months. It made me sad that people seemed to think there was no point to re-reading or saving old fic. There is no sell-by date on fiction! It does not get out of order! It can still work even years or decades later!
So yeah, I have stories up at ao3 that are literally a quarter-century old, and every time someone leaves a comment on them I am very pleased to get it. We get attached to our stories and it cheers us up to see that they are still finding readers. It means that they are still ‘alive,’ in some way.
AO3 is not social media, it’s (essentially) a library.
You’re meant to engage with any and all of it, regardless of age.
This. (And you could make a case that the older the fic on which feedback is received, the more it’s appreciated…)
Wait what’s a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren’t supposed to use the elevator to get down
You go down the stairwell/fire escape. Is that weird?
But what if you have a walker or a wheelchair??
in america at least, in this situation, there isnt one. either your loved ones or the firemen can get you out using the emergency fire escapes or stairs, or you die
That’s fucking horrific, thank you
“fun” little story:
last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and she’s in a wheelchair and i’m pushing her around the room. it’s an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so it’s all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off
a FIRE ALARM
everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face
“i can’t go down the stairs”
but i’m a stubborn bitch “i’ll carry you”
“what about my chair? it’s too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i can’t get this one back”
“i’ll carry that too”
and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a fireman’s carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors
basically there is no real protocol for people who can’t use the stairs in an emergency. it’s up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted
thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i don’t know what would have happened to her, but i don’t think it would have been very good.
it’s fucking ridiculous and ableist to the absolute max.
I use a cane. When I did a day-long fire safety training at my northeast American university (UMass Amherst), I asked that exact same question: “what am I supposed to do if the fire alarm goes off and I’m in my lab on the twelfth floor?”
the fire marshal hemmed and hawed for a while and then said to take the elevator- you’re supposed to leave it free for the fire department to use and they want able-bodied people out fast not waiting for elevators. if the fire alarm has just gone off the building probably hasn’t suffered enough structural damage to make using the elevator dangerous, and modern elevator wells are heavily reinforced. many large and high-trafficked buildings on my campus have fire rated elevators that link in with the fire alarm system so they won’t let you off on a floor with a possible fire.
if the elevator isn’t working, wait in the stairwell and call the fire department to let them know where you are. modern stairwells are also heavily reinforced- it might not be pleasant but modern building code usually requires fire-resistant stairwell doors in office and big residential buildings, also to help firefighters get in and out safely. older buildings’ stairwells may or may not be retrofitted with fire-resistant doors but a stairwell is generally the safest place to wait if you can’t get out.
what happened to your friend was horrible, and i’m very glad you were there to help her out, but you can absolutely use the elevator to evacuate if it’s not shut down. those don’t-use-the-elevator rules are for abled people.
This is GOOD TO KNOW. why do they not tell people this??
Okay, firefighter here. If you are not physically able to use the stairs, and the elevator is NOT compromised, use the elevator. But you MUST be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the elevator is NOT compromised before you get into it, because there is always the chance that once you get into it, you may not exit it. Power could go out. The elevator may actually BE compromised and you just couldn’t tell from where you were until you were in there, and it suddenly shuts down on you. Something else could happen.
Understand that once you enter the elevator, you could POTENTIALLY be taking your life into your hands there.
It is NOT LIKELY, to be perfectly honest. It’s only in a pretty catastrophic scenario - think the Twin Towers, USA, on September 11th - that the elevators will be compromised and out of service. But there is a NOT ZERO PERCENT CHANCE and you need to understand that and accept it.
As for leaving the elevators free for the firefighters, okay, here’s the deal. Unless your nearest fire station is literally right next door? Your first on scene fire truck is NOT likely to be there on scene and needing that elevator before you get to the ground. It takes us TIME to find the address, gear up, and drive to the building. Then we need to hoof it into where the elevators even ARE, so YOU HAVE TIME to use the elevator to get down to the ground floor… BUT ONLY IF THERE’S NOT A RUSH ON THE ELEVATOR! And THAT is WHY we don’t tell people this shit. That’s WHY we tell people to NEVER USE THE ELEVATOR… because every self-entitled asshole will use it because they don’t feel like walking, and then put YOU in danger by delaying the elevator’s arrival to you.
IF, however, the elevator IS compromised, or you just can’t get it to come for you, or whatever, and you either don’t have anyone with you who has the adrenaline fueled BALLS to be able to toss you over their shoulder and hoof it down the stairs with you - because, let’s face it, that is RARE AS FUCK, then HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
You call 911 and tell the call taker that you are in the building that has a fire alarm going off, and you are not able to evacuate because of a physical disability, and you tell them what floor you are on, and EXACTLY what stairwell you are waiting at. And the very FIRST thing that the firefighters are going to do once they arrive, if it is, indeed, a REAL emergency, and not a false alarm, is come get your ass and bring you down. Whether that means carrying you down the stairs, or whether that means locking out the elevators so that no one else can override them and coming to get you themselves, they WILL come get you FIRST THING if it is a real event. And if it is a false alarm? You will probably be the first person who is not involved with the building to know, because the call-taker is going to stay on the line with you until you are under someone’s care and out of danger, or until the scene has been sorted out as real or false, and you are out of danger that way.
These are pretty standard operations in the fire service throughout the United States. There may be some minor variations based on specific municipalities, but, for the most part, this is pretty typical: LIFE BEFORE PROPERTY. So, as long as SOMEONE knows where you are - hence why you call 911 - Firefighters will come get you. You are NOT alone, and you have NOT been abandoned. I PROMISE. It’s like, our whole reason for doing the shit we do: to save lives and to break shit. Sometimes, we get lucky enough to do both at the same time.
High rise fires suck ass, and I always hated them. But the very FIRST thing I asked anytime we got one was if we had “any entrapments” - which is what we call anyone who could not self-evacuate for ANY reason. We ain’t leaving you behind. And yes, your friend who doesn’t have the stamina to carry you down can stay with you, too. Because I would never ask that of someone, honestly.
Also, just a little FYI… MOST fire alarms are false alarms. Not to make anyone complacent or anything, but, yeah. Most of them are either system malfunctions, someone accidentally hit a pull station, or someone burned popcorn in a break room. So don’t let a fire alarm freak you out until you need it to - by smelling or seeing smoke or flames.
i have had multiple nightmares about this very thing because NOBODY BOTHERS TO ACTUALLY TELL WHEELCHAIR USERS THIS STUFF
A fire alarm went off once when I was going to get botox for my leg muscles as treatment for my disability. I was nine. We were on the third floor of the hospital, and I walked with a brace and had chronic pain from walking. Stairs were fucking agony.
I rushed down the stairs and because I saw no one was holding the doors open for the other disabled kids (it was a pediatric ward where 99% of the kids had mobility issues) I held the doors instead of, y'know, getting away from the potentially-burning building.
My mom went back and forth, up and down, carrying kids or their assistive devices down the stairs, helping other parents.
The doctors, nurses, and staff rushed out of there like bats out of hell without a second thought to our safety, or anyone else’s who couldn’t get down the stairs.
I created this Gofundme to help me help me with paying my rent for September and ge… Yolanda Mondy needs your support for 1 paycheck away f
Please help this young woman if you can
Since tumblr suppresses posts like this I opted to use a screenshot of my last post! Link to the g*fundme in my pinned post
Hey so weve gotten quite a few notes and since this post was made we have gotten $20 which is appreciated. I'm going to need to go to the doctor soon for my chronic health issues and I'm concerned about the copay. I do sw and can sell pictures and videos among other things, and my partner does as well, it could be separate or together
We gave to be out of our apartment in 2 weeks. Please. G*fundme link
Ok so we have to be out before the 21st of February, we have a bit of money for a hotel but we need enough to hopefully stay 2 weeks or so until we could sign a lease
Ok, motel costs $80 a night so I still need help
My shit posts and rants about capitalism will get quite literally tens of thousands of notes but I only have 1k notes on this in the AMPLE time it's been up
Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame. Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS
“How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and listen for the clappeth of it’s itinerant cheeks?” - Matthew 18:12, the bible
CLAPPETH….
First of all thank you! Without any of your help I never would have survived until this point. With that being said, quite a few people have said what I should do is try and have a post to raise a bit of a cushion so that way if and when an emergency comes up I’m not stuck having to beg for help and try and quickly find a way to get things taken care of, so I figured I will give it a try.
Some background: my mom and dad died and I have no siblings so it’s just me now (and my friends who I consider family). I was also recently rear ended by another person driving 50mph who didn’t realize the light was red. Pushed me across the intersection, totaled my car, broke my leg, back, & cracked a few teeth. I also was sick with Covid for close to 6 weeks and wound up with heart issues im now monitoring and trying to figure out with a cardiologist. For those wondering, yes, I have a lawyer and will be (eventually) reimbursed for all the expenses I’ve had to pay from the accident. And no, neither of my parents owned a home or had life insurance or money saved up, I inherited their belongings and bills (most of which I thankfully learned I don’t have to pay). For anyone wanting additional proof, I have previous posts with photos of the accident, my latest MRI, a few of the medical bills, etc. You can always reach out to me with questions too of course, just don’t bother if yours going to say mean or hurtful things, it’s a lot harder than you know having to beg people to help you survive, especially with all I’ve been dealing with.
So to try and alleviate some of the stresses, I’m going to try and raise enough to cover one months rent and expenses (car rental at the moment, phone bill, medications, doctors copay, gas and food). So if something comes up I will be able to cover it with the funds I would be using towards this. In total that’s about $2000 (technically a little more but this would cover the majority). All of these bills are coming up fast, so any help is appreciated whether it be a donation or reblogging. My PayPal is preferred and is http://paypal.me/jpd05 but if KoFi, Zelle, or Chime are easier just message me here and I’ll respond ASAP. Lastly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to every single person who has donated, reblogged, or reached out with kind messages. There are so many wonderful people in the world, and you are the reason I remember that and refuse to give up. 💚 Thank you 💚
⚠️$0/$2000⚠️
With some changes to techniques, a careful selection of kitchen tools, and tips from fellow bakers, the joy of baking can live on.
I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.
As this link nears five hundred notes, I'm just... very quietly touched at how many people are sharing it. Whether they need it themselves (or think they will someday), or know someone else who might need it, the fact that all of them are sharing the sentiment of "I want the people who love doing this thing to be able to keep doing the thing that they love" is... yeah. It makes me happy.
my fiancé and I are scared.
we are multiply disabled and not receiving medical support.
absolutely losing our minds and also out of meds.
unable to get to the fucking doctor for help because our car is fucking broken and we live two hours away because we live in the fuckin sticks because this damn garage is the only free housing available to us and we have no money and are incapable of working enough to live. y’know, due to aforementioned disabilities.
that last bullet was a lot but hopefully you get my point.
please help. we are fucking drowning. we have so many needs going unmet. but right now we need meds and my partner needs to see a fucking doctor.
my p**pal
his CA
also my teeth are still rotting out and it’s bad enough at this point that I literally cannot brush my teeth without severe pain. which means I am not brushing my teeth. which cannot possibly be helping.
woke up having a panic attack about it this morning (again) lol anyway pls help
i was supposed to be starting part time work this month but that's paused indefinitely as the person going to hire me is now having her own family medical emergency. they said we still have housing but this means we have no income. we are almost entirely housebound and sharing a garage/bed with each other and our 3 pets.
we are out of masks, behind on bills, and in need of medical attention. please keep boosting this, we are falling behind more and more each month. we are extremely grateful to everybody who has helped so far. to whoever bought our induction cooker & pot, you are the reason we've been eating anything besides processed/packaged food. i'm being serious when i say mutual aid is keeping us going right now so please keep boosting this.
cashapp / venmo / paypal / amazon / kofi
we’re also out of cat food and will be out of people food again very soon hey ho
Paypal - Cashapp - Venmo - Ko-fi
Just to make this all easy for you all who wish to help.
I got my surgery. Work approved my FMLA saying it'd help me with bills. Big lies. They never paid me last night. And paperwork they sent me said I'm getting nothing. Woke up to a 127 gas bill, enough food for 3 more days, and maintenance here to fix a leak, again. I don't know what more to do besides ask for help again. I'm still healing and dealing with asthma symptoms now and the roommate usually in charge when I'm not, had a family emergency. So we're all just fucked right now. Can anyone help us out some, even if it's just a small push in the right direction at this point. I don't know what more to do but ask and hope.
We have most covered, gas and electric sent the new bill to us yesterday and this morning, I still need about 300 to cover the rest now and then fight for rent since I don't get paid next week. I have a lot to consider. But the biggest thing is just to hope and ask again. I'd appreciate anything.
Gas is a shutoff notice btw lol yay
hey so I’m sorry to ask this again but I’m gonna be out of work for up to two weeks because I tested positive for and had covid and I work with immunocompromised people. I might need some help for January, ideally around 300-500 dollars but really anything that anyone can give. My cashapp is $aegib and you can dm for my venmo.
you think it can’t get better, but it does. sound on.
