Nondescript Winter Holiday Dinner Meal!

With Weiss cut off by her dad and Blake having nowhere to go, they spend the holidays at Patch with Ruby and Yang. Weiss and Blake have no idea what they’re in for with these two…

its kinda scary how your whole life depends on how well you do as a teenager

phantasmsystem

oh my god No it doesn’t don’t put this kind of pressure on people?? you can absolutely fuck up in your teen years and continue on to a good life just fine. you can drop out of school, get a GED, still go to college and finish your degree as late as you want. i know people in my school who still haven’t graduated and they’re 26. some older. you can always transfer someplace else, always build yourself up from the ground. after a certain amount of college credits, a lot of schools really don’t care about your high school GED or your SAT scores anymore. if you fuck up in your teenage years you are not a failure!! you can ALWAYS re-invent yourself, always start over. there is always a second chance.

Reblogging this for my followers freaking out over art school/college. I dropped out of high school and never thought I’d get into college as easily as I did. You will be fine!

Fun story my biology professor just told us: When he was 23 he was married to his wife and worked two jobs to support them since she was in college: gas station attendant and construction worker. He worked these two jobs because that was the only work he could get since he was at the reading level of a third grader.

One night he was writing something and his wife noticed he was writing from right to left. Since she was studying occupational therapy she realized he had a learning disability and started working with him. He slowly began to learn to read, and at 26 got his GED and went to college.

His first year of college he took the lowest level math course he could take, 001. Over the years he worked on learning what he needed to, ended up graduating with a biology degree. He then went on to get his masters and PhD, graduating at the top of his class. He is now an extremely accomplished biologist and professor.

So don’t let anyone tell you that you’re future is based on your choices as a teenager.

geekyangie

Seriously. Do not believe this. You aren’t even stuck with your choices you make in your 20s. I didn’t start working in my current field until just after my 30th birthday. It has nothing to do with what I went to school for in my 20s. My husband has a political science degree, and he’s a sports journalist.

You are not tied to anything. Go. Be.

My day job did not exist when I was a teenager. And the idea of trying to be an author was a distant thing on my radar. I thought I was going to be an English teacher. And then I thought I was going to be a music teacher. And then I thought I was going to be a drama teacher.

Also in there: therapist, early childhood educator, then finally: web developer–because by then it was an actual thing that existed. I didn’t actually figure out what I “wanted to do when I grew up” until about eight years ago, when I was 36. I tried pursuing writing when I was 30, stopped, then started pursuing it seriously again when I was 40.

There is always time to change. And don’t let anyone tell you that high school is “the best time of your life” either, because that’s bullshit too.

drachenkinder

I was a high school drop out and didn’t go to college until I was within a month of my 40th birthday. While there I changed my major twice. Then I taught art long enough to earn retirement. Before college I’ve worked in dog kennels, as a cashier, a dental assistant, a vet assistant, electronics assembly, a machinist in the military, picking up trash in a state park and as locksmith at a university. After teaching I worked night shift as a securety guard. Life is freaking adventure, not a locked grid you must move from one square to another. Take a chance, If you fail, get back up, dust yourself off and try something new.

Your life is not over at 25. You can continue to learn and engage with hobbies and change your life path and meet new people. Get rid of this idea that what you decide to do at 18 is gonna be what you do for life

As someone who freaks out at times about this kind of thing in my final year of university, this really helped.

Patchwork quilt floor!

thebaconsandwichofregret

You just know that some sweet little old Nana who has been making quilts for the last 50 years has seen this photo and gone “challenge accepted” and make a blanket with that pattern

mysweetoddbird

Ok, I’ve decided I can’t leave well enough alone, but these pictures really do not do this mosaic justice. It is 9,000 square feet, and is basically patchwork spanning over 15 centuries. Here are some other pictures of the Antakya mosaic:

Also, it is not one of the largest mosaics; it is the single largest intact ancient mosaic in the world.

I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.

But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.

Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.

What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.

memesnotwelcome

I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.

And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.

addamatic

I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.

euphoniousraconteur

GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”

More tips:

Bookmark the your city’s webpage and check it any time you might need something that you don’t know how to get. Your city may have a social worker at city hall whose job is specifically to help you with that. Your city probably has a coronavirus task force page with info about free testing and vaccine clinics.

Read your local newspaper; there’s usually a local community paper that is free online or set out in front of businesses that will have about 60% ads, 20% random gossip, 10% news, and 10% local info/programs/opportunities that they have crammed in random corners to fill space. My job used to literally be laying out this kind of paper, and one of the things that I was always doing was checking for “free X day in a ten mile radius” so I wouldn’t have a weird gap on the science page.

Check if your city has an adult education program. My city offers free adult literacy classes that also have a lot of practical financial information.

Check your *county* website for resources. This will usually be a bit farther away but you might find out that you qualify for free bus passes in the whole county, or that there’s a meals on wheels plan that is supported in your area that you can sign up for.

If it is possible for you, enroll for a low-unit class at a community college. Community college are inexpensive, you may qualify for fee waivers, there are flexible class schedules, and if you are taking even just a couple units at a time at a community college you count as an enrolled student at that school - which means that you get access to the health services center (basic nurse visits, diagnostics, prescriptions, and blood tests at little to no cost - I paid nothing when my college health services nurse practitioner x-rayed my chest and diagnosed me with pneumonia then gave me antibiotics when I didn’t have insurance), counseling, students-in-need programs, and a bunch of other random shit. My school is currently giving a $150 bookstore voucher to students who provide proof of covid vaccination - the bookstore sells clothing, food, and electronics in addition to books. That is a LOT of stuff that you can get if you’re able to pay $40-100 a term and can take a class at a time. It’s a lot easier plan for the cost of enrolling in a semester at a community college than it is to plan for an unexpected doctor’s visit or an expense that leaves you low on food.

If you are ALREADY a student at any college or university, go to the student services page on the website and see what they’ve got. A shocking number of students don’t know that their schools offer food assistance and often work with local food pantries.

If you’re in the United States, call 211.

This is the ‘911’ line for community services. (If you’re calling from a landline it will get you local resources. If you’re calling from a cell phone, it may send you somewhere else but just tell the folks where you’re looking for help at and they should be able to redirect you.) Frustratingly, YMMV based on what’s available in your state and area, but like my county has a full-on triage worker. Agency Time is real and it can be a bitch, but this is probably your best first place to start.

I also need you to know that this obscurity is often intentional. right wing politicians literally do not want you to know about the social services that are available to help you (because if fewer people are using them, they have more justification to cut funding). it’s not hard to access because you’re a big dummy, it’s because the people writing the laws that fund these programs often include hidden hoops to jump through or slash funding for marketing. I know it’s tough but calling and speaking to a real life person is often the best option!

why are conservatives even on this site? this is the blue haired sjw website. stop posting your stupid nazi memes. you already get your accounts banned every three weeks. why do you keep coming back only to get bullied, made fun of, reported for terrorism, and then banned? do you have a humiliation kink?

I made a baby blanket for a pregnant woman at work and I went back and forth about it like “is this weird? To like hand make something for someone when we’re like friendly acquaintances not like bffs. God why are you so fucking awkward.” Anyway I gave it to her and she said she loved it and in the back of my head I’m like yea she’s nice and probably just humoring the weirdo. Well she texted me a picture this weekend of a scrunchy faced newborn at the hospital wrapped in the blanket I made her. And I’m like. Wow. She loved it so much she took it with her! To the hospital! To give birth! She wrapped her newborn it! I am just so filled with love and joy right now.

People will love the things you make them. Because you thought of them and you cared.

[ID: The video begins with a person showing the package for a padlock. Over the video is a TikTok comment which reads "master lock has a bounty on this mans head". The person making the video begins narrating: "You won't believe this lock's special feature. It's a Master Lock model 570 maximum pick resistant pad lock. It has 5 pins, including some security pins and, if you look carefully inside the key weight, you can actully see where they put the disappointment." The video ends with the person jamming a pick into the lock, which opens it instantly. end of ID]

partypuppynastja

As a lockpicking hobbyist: it really is like that.

I have many padlocks (and other, uh, lockable devices) to which I probably have the keys somewhere but it's frankly quicker to pick (or in some cases, technically bypass but what most people would still call picking) the lock than find the right key.

And usually yes, that quickly.

And those tiny padlocks, to go on luggage (or, uh, other things that need tiny locks)? No need even for lockpicks, a paperclip will suffice to open it in 0.1s

stavarosthearcane

Now I'm used to seeing this sort of thing as I frequent the lockpickinglawyer's youtube channel so I am familiar with how Masterlock's products consistently fail to resist even the most low skill picking. Which is why when I heard the brand "masterlock" and saw the person had a wave rake (a tool for low skill picking) I knew this wouldn't take long...

I was not expecting the visceral nature of this picking; the single thrust and twist, the casual toss, the verbal disdain, the sense like you just watched something be swiftly gutted.

It was an experience.

lunlumo

I love how the world perceives tumblr as useless platform. No world news here. No algorithm. No verified accounts. Ads are about Pikachu cosplayer and shoelaces. Folks that's exactly how social media should be

way overdue edit: OP too has learned everything regarding international politics through crabs and that meme but doesn't dare to consider these paranormal/parasocial occurrences as mere news. It's a moment, it's a bliss, it's the nightmare of future generations' history textbooks, you had to be there

When I see ai art, I always check the hands.

And almost always...there are six fingers. Seven knuckles.

A missing thumb.

And yet, as long as they have big tits, people be fawning over it like omg this is peak art.

Yeah. Peak art made by a bot and stolen from actual artists that still somehow can't figure out the exact number of fingers and hands a human being has.
