help 2 gays afford things

hey! me and my girlfriend are struggling for money right now - i’m unemployed with no income and they’re on minimum wage - and we’re living paycheck to paycheck at best.

if you have any spare money at all and want to help us out, there’s a couple of ways and we’ll be incredibly thankful 💖

https://www.depop.com/eddielhouse/ here you can buy handmade earrings 

https://www.depop.com/mythicswitch/ we’ve got some old clothes and cross stitches here

http://payhip.com/eddielhouse eddie’s poetry chapbooks can be found here on a pay what you want basis (including their most recent, Lost Lovers - N, which is absolutely incredible)

https://www.paypal.me/roughbutch and finally this is my paypal if you just want to donate

of course it’s absolutely fine if you can’t afford to directly help out right now, but even just a reblog would be massively appreciated 💖 thank you!

Happy trans day of visibility! I’ve chosen this picture to share because it’s my yearbook photo - this is my last year of secondary school, and that just blows my mind. If you had told me 4 years ago, when I posted my first tdov selfie, that I would be out, proud, comfortable in my womanhood, and preparing to go to university, I would never have believed you. I’ve come so far and while I’ve got further to go, every step feels easier than the last. You go 14-year-old-me. You got me to where I am now.

The ultimate packing list if you are going to study abroad this year

For many of us, the new school year/semester is coming very fast and very soon. For some of us, a new education year is nothing special - you just have to set the alarm clock back into ‘I have got to get up early’ mode and go to school, college, university or however you want to call it.

However, for some of us starting a new year means more. It is related to moving out of home sometimes into a new city or even into a new country. This is related to getting familiar in a new surrounding and starting a new life where you don’t know where to find the best coffee in town, how to ride the bus or how to speak the language (cheers to all langblrs out there ;) ).

For all of you who belong to the second type of people, I dedicate today’s post. Organizing all the things that are related to such a move and saying goodbye to all your loved ones needs enough energy. You should not spend your time thinking about all the items that you need to pack for the big journey. And for this reason, I provide you with the ultimate packing list if you are going to study abroad this year. If you’re missing something that you would never leave at home reblog this post and add your most important travel gadget/item!

With that being said, travel safely and pack wisely ;)

Extra tips

Before you overload all of your bags contact your university and try to find out which of the items they will provide. Perhaps there is something like a starter kit they offer so you do not have to carry bulky bed or kitchen items with you.

Take only your favorite clothes with you. But there is this fancy dress that you own that one day could look so cool? Leave it at home. You won’t wear it. Period.

Don’t take things with you that can be easily bought after your arrival. This includes hair dryers, kettles, flat irons, big bags, stationery, kitchen items etc.

In case you want to travel with additional luggage ask your airline before your departure date regarding their conditions. There are airlines that offer an online check-in for your additional luggage or a pre registration. If you take advantage of such offers you can save a few coins.

Don’t forget to make a (digital) copy of your most important documents and cards!

tarot card i did a while back, but i thought it’d be appropriate to post for barricade day!

why did they make us stack cups in elementary school

[cctinsleybaxter]

I had completely forgotten about this but was it just my school that was off the fucking walls about it? They would show us videos in gym of professional cup stacking and yell ‘THIS COULD BE YOU.’ We spent every Tuesday in gym with those gotdamn cups and we all had, like, The Cup Stacking Catalogue. I made my parents buy me glow in the dark cups for my ninth birthday what are we as a society.

[egberts]

we had that too, like they were trying to convince some of us to get good enough to go to contests for it. and sell us cups. so many cups. cups to appease every type of child. not even cups you can drink from.

[cnjandhdonejxksndh-deactivated2]

??im not american is this real or is this a convoluted shitpost??????

[egberts]

it’s definitely real

[novantinuum]

even if you wanted to drink from them you couldn’t because the cups had holes in the bottom. but hey, if you had the tie die colored rainbow cups you were automatically the coolest kid in class so that’s cool

[doubtingsalmon]

The fuck are any of y'all talking about?? Of course, I was in private school for my elementary days, so maybe this was a thing. Or maybe this was a thing for folks younger than me. IDEK.

[novantinuum]

I was also a private school kid, and they still threw these strange cups into our curriculum XD

[changemyacc-deactivated20180508]

I’ve never stacked cups at school? Is this like a northern states thing?

[danidery]

I have no recollection of this whatsoever

[snapback-gravity-falls]

I’m from Texas and even WE ended up doing this. How did y'all not do this?

[hntrgurl13]

From Oklahoma and we definitely had this. I begged my parents for these stupid cups. You weren’t shit unless you had these things.

[humming-fly]

In case any of ya’ll are curious what the hell everyone’s talking about

[dyslexicpoodle]

We did this in Kentucky. I have no memory of it existing in my generation.

[metapianycist]

I was in (public) elementary school in NJ in the mid to late 90s and cup stacking was not a thing that was ever done in my school. This post is the first time I’ve even heard of it.

[infiniteglitterfall]

Ditto, I’m ten years older and in California public schools and i never heard of it either. I assumed cup stacking was only in that one movie I haven’t seen yet.

[assemble-the-fangirls]

This was a thing in my school in Missouri. Can confirm. 

[daveys19papes]

Um we had this in northern England I reckon it's to do with developing your motor muscles in your arms but basically it wasn't just America we had these too

support the arts. go see a friend’s theatre production, buy a piece of artwork you love if you can afford it, tip a street musician who made you stop walking to admire their skills. the arts are so beautiful and under appreciated. please commemorate people for the hard work they show through artwork. as an artist, it’s so easy to become discouraged, so if you have an opportunity to support an artist, do your best to take it.

Heey ! I hope you had a good day ! I really love the idea of Courfeyrac in a sociology kind of class, it suits him so good ! And yeah Feuilly and Bahorel in apprenticeship is just really good tbh. I know it's kinda overdone (well I think I saw it a couple of time) but Feuilly as a tattoo artist is something I really like tbh. Have you a favourite scene in the musical/book/movie ?

I did thank you!! You too! But yes honestly feuilly as a tattoo artist is always good (I can see grantaire being a tattoo artist too actually after uni) but I haven't read the book yet (school keeps getting in the way) but my favourite scene in the movie is probably the red and black scene or the do you hear the people sing scene and on stage it's definitely the do you hear the people sing scene because wow it's amazing (honestly though I love all of it)

[daveys19papes]

Yeah I really love University AU too ! Have you some hcs about what Les Amis majors in ? I really love to put R on the graphic communication kind of class when I wrote them tbh.

That's cool! I reckon that Enjolras would either do law or politics or something like that, Combeferre maybe medicine I think? Something sciencey. Courfeyrac would do maybe law as well but maybe something like sociology. I think Grantaire would definitely do something arty but yeah graphics or something sounds like his thing. Bahorel and Feuilly I think would do an apprenticeship or something rather than uni, and cosette and jehan would probably do literature and eponine idk maybe something sciencey or arty? Joly would also do medicine, bossuet I think would do literally anything and musichetta would be one of the best at law. I think that's everyone??
