This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
I'm so extremely serious when I say doctors should be put through an extremely extensive reliscensing process every 10 years. Doctors should have their knowledge scrutinized against current medical research and be de-barred at even the tiniest discrepancy. Too many old doctors absolutely refuse to stay up to date on research and dismiss patients because of their personal experiences. Too many people die every year because doctors don't take us seriously and refuse to listen to people who KNOW something is wrong. Too many people are told their problems are nothing and come back in a year or more with serious illnesses and doctors are just like "lol everyone makes mistakes" but doctors mistakes routinely cost people their lives! I'm tired of medical malpractice being swept away under the guise of "mistakes were made."
If lawyers have to take 20-30 hours of continuing law education classes every single year, doctors should have to go through a reliscencing process every 10.
Every 9 months airline pilots have to go to school on their airplane and pass the course. Not just take pass! Doctors should have to renew their licenses with more stringent requirements than just obtaining CEUs.
Are you a postal worker?
Yes
No
just wanted to see how many postal workers are on tumblr so reblogging is required for this one please thanks

maui food bank: https://mauifoodbank.org/
maui humane society: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/
center for native hawaiian advancement: https://www.memberplanet.com/campaign/cnhamembers/kakoomaui
hawai'i red cross: https://www.redcross.org/local/hawaii/ways-to-donate.html
please reblog and spread the word if you can't donate.
Just learning about this (!), and reblogging for visibility.
Also sending worried love to all my friends and all the people I don't know in Maui.
What's better than one proposal? Three!
One happens to where they first met... One happens out of town in style... And one happens in the morning with both surprising each other!

I want to thank you all dear people for the reblogs and the likes!
This story is a one page at a time work so it’s kind of a slow process and I’m not fixed yet on what’s in store for these two… In fact I don’t even have a title for it yet! But if you’re ready to bear with me, this might not be the end ^^
I’m reposting this because I’m almost done on the next chapter which I may post in the next few days 🤞…
Can you swim?
yes 🌊
no 🏖
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!
If you don't do the reblog part it's not very good as a study 😭

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I was part of the @mlsecretsanta and this is a gift for @wortvermis ! I hope you enjoy it!
Sorry this is getting to you at the 11th hour.
Hey @dallasprince :) I am your backup gifter for the @mlsecretsanta gift exchange and wanted to make something inspired by your wonderful fanfic!
I hope you enjoy Luka and Buttercup! (I took some liberties with her design… hope that’s okay! And if you’d prefer an unrelated gift, I can totally draw something else :D)
[image description: A digital drawing of Luka and Adrien from Miraculous Ladybug. Adrien is dressed as a drag queen in a light blue outfit with slightly darker blue plush accessoires and his blond hair is long and wavy. He wears blue make-up and sings into a blue mic, one of his legs is set on a soundbox, he’s wearing high heels. Luka on the left looks at Adrien and plays a white guitair. The background is greenish-black. /end id]
An amazing addition
it's wild how people outside America lack so much understanding of how car-centric this country is that they can't grasp that subdivisions are commonly built without sidewalks, because there's nowhere to walk
And the really wild thing is “there’s nowhere to walk to” is usually legally mandated through local zoning codes.
Every town and city in America writes its own zoning laws, which dictate what you can and can’t put in any one area of the town. And there’s good reason for this! You don’t want to put a big huge factory that makes lots of noise 24/7 in the middle of a place where people live, for example. Pretty much every place has zoning. Zoning is not inherently the problem.
The problem is the type of zoning the US uses. Most of the US has extremely restrictive zoning. For example, something like 90% of all post-WWII urban and suburban housing in the US is in neighborhoods zoned R-1 (Residential 1) or the equivalent. And R-1 is crazy restrictive.
You can put exactly four things in an R-1 zone. You can put single-family houses, schools, parks, and places of worship.
You can’t put: little neighborhood shops, grocery stores, hair salons, multi-family dwellings, or anything else. You are an accountant who wants to set up shop in your garage because that’s cheaper than renting office space? Too bad for you! No businesses are allowed in an R-1 zone, even if you’re running them out of your home, and if you try and your city finds out, you could be in a lot of trouble.
Oh, but wait, there’s more! R-1 zoning also has laws about density! Each home has to have a good-sized lot. Usually there’s a requirement for how much front yard there has to be (20 feet from the house to the curb is a fairly standard number) as well as a requirement that the house can only take up a certain percentage of the lot (often around 15-20% of the land). This means that the houses are fairly far apart.
You can’t build apartments, condos, row houses, or any form of high density housing there, because it is illegal. Everyone is very spread out. When you combine that with “nothing but houses, schools, parks, and churches,” and 90% of housing zoned R-1, you can have vast expanses of suburbs where the nearest thing other than houses and parks is miles away. It would take hours to walk anywhere from your house, so nobody does it. So the cities don’t build sidewalks. Which also cuts down on the people walking.
This is what is known as “urban sprawl.” This is why Americans drive so much. This is also why American cities are so congested: everyone has to drive everywhere, and you have to drive relatively long distances. Even just going to the store for a gallon of milk can be a ten mile drive. And if every single person has to drive for every single trivial errand, well, for any decently-sized city it simply isn’t possible to build enough streets and highways to accommodate all the traffic.
This is also why housing in America is so expensive. People who would be just fine with an apartment are often forced to rent a suburban home because there aren’t enough apartments. And R-1 houses are designed for the upper middle class. If you can’t afford that ... sucks to be you. It drives the prices up for everyone.
And it’s also why so many cities in the US have infrastructure problems, financial problems, and regularly teeter on the verge of bankruptcy! Infrastructure is expensive, and a lot of it (roads, water and sewer pipes, etc) has expenses based on how far it has to go. It costs the same amount to repave a block of street whether there are eight households along that street or twenty households along that street. The taxes on houses in R-1 zones would have to be absurdly high to pay for the cost of maintaining the infrastructure. To the best of my knowledge, no city in America breaks even on R-1 suburbs. They spend more maintaining the infrastructure than they take in in taxes.
So for people who aren’t American and are sitting here wondering what the fuck, here’s why it stays that way:
1) Lack of imagination. For eighty years, this has been the way most American homes are. This is normal. People assume that it is inevitable and the way things just naturally should be.
2) Privileged assholes. Upper-middle-class white people are the ones who are by far the most likely to go to the city council and city zoning meetings where such things are decided, and they overwhelmingly oppose changes to the R-1 zoning code. Why? Because they are afraid it would damage their property values. They are sure that if the zoning in their neighborhood changes, someone will come in and build a huge concrete block of an apartment complex right across the street. And if there were low-income housing built anywhere in the city, the city would attract poor people! And addicts! And criminals! And people of color! And if there were too much low-income housing, why, even if it wasn’t in their neighborhood, it would bring housing prices down everywhere in town, which would mean their house would be worth less than it is now, and their investment would be damaged! (because of course the most important thing about housing is “does everyone have a safe place to live” but “how much money can I make by buying and selling houses.”) ... and then they wonder why their kids can’t afford to buy a home like they could at that age ...

You can only reblog this on the 3st of January
the 3st huh?
The next ML episode is gonna be just 23 minutes of Lila laughing at these
ALSO WHY DOES IT SAY THAT HIS NAME IS GABI 😭😭😭😭😭
Because that’s his full legal name. Gabriel’s parents are the type of people who give their children nicknames as their full name…no wonder Adrien’s never met his grandparents.

speaking as a lifelong sh fan here I am 100% serious when I say benoit blanc is not only the spiritual successor to sherlock holmes but is also the modern day sherlock holmes adaptation we need and deserve. he's definitely not meant to be a 1-1 adaptation of that character but he absolutely is the man canon holmes was and every subsequent interpretation of him should have been and he literally deserves to sit among the ranks of timeless iconic detectives. the first movie was so right when they called him the last of gentleman sleuths. he's THE charming and eccentric detective character we need for a new generation and I just hope and pray we can get more of him in this franchise. and he's literally gay
i encourage you to go to your favourite writer's ao3 page and comment on an older fic, because i can assure you that it will make their day. It can mean so much to see your work doesn't disappear into the void to be never seen again after a day of people interacting with it. Just, if you have the time, go comment on an older work
(pls reblog this to try and get as much writers a bit of appreciation)
