I think I need help

I hate life, I feel like I’ve gone through trauma and if I told people they’d just tell me to get over it.

I have so many bills right now, at last count a thousand bucks worth just for this month alone in credit cards and federal loans and car.

I’m trying to find a way to make some money outside of a ‘real’ job(although I am still hunting that down).

Been looking at fiverr, but not sure what I could do. I know how to make crafts from paracord and basic friendship bracelet stuff. But the materials for that(specifically the paracord) cost money. I can also arm and loom-knit with decent success and already have a BUNCH of yarn and friends who actively make yarn.

I’ll also try to start writing more and doing little art pieces and starting a patreon maybe.

At some point soon I’ll post up samples of various stuff and see what gets anyone’s interest. If you don’t reblog this, at least reblog my coming post so I can get some exposure, please and thank you.

Dear Matrix Reboot/Remake/Rewrite Team

Please make one of the characters like Switch from The Matrix, specifically the screenplay first draft. For those of you who don't know, in the original screenplay for The Matrix, the character Switch was supposed to be transgender. Like in the real world they would be one gender, but in the digital world they would be another. Of course it was changed to its current form by the final draft, and Switch is still a badass butch, but they could have been so much more interesting.

What the fuck, Hollywood???

Why is so hard to make a serious movie about alien life that DOESN’T want to kill all humans?

I guarantee the film “Life” which is being released in March will end with one of the three most common horror endings:

1. Everyone dies. 2. 1 survivor who appears human but has been infected by the alien 3. 1 survivor left to an unknown fate

I will be legitimately surprised if it ends up playing out differently, but more than likely it will be the same rehashing of Ridley Scott’s first Alien movie that every other scary killer aliens film has tried to cash in on.

Poor form.

This is not a new idea, Hollywood

Phoenix Forgotten is just The Blair Witch Project with aliens.

I love Last Week Tonight

But I can't watch the content on Obamacare. Watching Republican politicians call my healthcare an "entitlement" and saying when they take it away, I will be able to afford it again if I cut out all my other expenses, like that new Iphone. FUCK YOU, JASON CHAFFETZ. I don't have enough income to even afford an Iphone, much less pay for my own healthcare after you assholes take it away. Oh, and I have almost no chance of finding a company willing to insure me and MY EIGHT PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. Why do you conservatives think "fixing the country" is synonymous with "screwing over the minorities"?

hey guys friendly reminder from your fave Canadian that esk*mo is a slur so please don’t use it!

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

and I would appreciate if u reblogged this because people outside Canada don’t seem to know this for the most part

This post is well-intentioned but not 100% accurate.

“Eskimo” is/was broadly used to refer to certain native peoples in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, and Siberia. Most, but not all of those groups find it offensive. In fact, “Inuit” is not considered an acceptable replacement term for all of these peoples. Here’s the breakdown:

Greenlandic Inuit (Kalaallit) consider Eskimo a slur.

Canadian Inuit (Innuinaq, Inuvialuit, and others) consider Eskimo a slur.

Alaskan Inuit (Iñupiat) do not consider Eskimo a slur.

Alaskan and Siberian Yupik people are not Inuit, and do not consider Eskimo a slur.

Together, Native Alaskan Iñupiat and Yupik can be called Eskimo. 

I’m not sure if “Inuit” is considered offensive to Yupik peoples, but it is at the very least inaccurate.

There is another related group, the Aleut or Unangax peoples, who are neither Eskimo nor Inuit.

Also, the provided etymology is incorrect. There are a few different proposed etymologies for “Eskimo,” none of which are 100% agreed on, but “snow eater” is not one of them. The etymology most closely linked to the word’s slur status is “raw meat eater.” Other proposed etymologies are “snowshoe netter” or “speakers of a different language.” 

tl;dr OP is correct that you should never use Eskimo to refer to Inuit in Canada and Greenland, but it is acceptable to use for Alaskan Inuit (Iñupiaq) people and for Yupik people. The safest all-encompassing term would be Inuit and Yupik (and Aleut, if applicable).

(If you are more familiar with Alaskan Native people than me and disagree with my sources, please do correct me. For now though, I believe this to be accurate.)

EXTREMELY URGENT: Please help out my best friend!

Hi everyone, my best friend, Tala, will be officially homeless tomorrow. Despite their best efforts, they still have not found an affordable apartment. They have booked a hotel room until Friday, but it took a huge chunk out of their savings for rent/a security deposit.

They will need at least $200 to recoup the hotel fee.

Another King Arthur movie?

Hollywood, please put this one to rest already. You clueless idiots unable to come up with original ideas have been reusing the same old goddamned Arthurian legend to put out a new film or tv show every single fucking year since the late 1970s. White guy finds sword and saves the world is a kids' bedtime story, not an epic that needs a slightly different reinterpretation every SIX FUCKING MONTHS. How about a Black Widow movie from Marvel and Fox Studios, we'll give you a second chance to make a better Independence Day 2? And to the studio who greenlit the Power Rangers reboot, you guys must really enjoy watching parents squirm in the theaters trying to make sense of daily background noise. My mom still remembers having to sit through a Pokemon movie and remains confused as to why anyone would allow a 10 year old to keep wild animals as "pets" or have sanctioned "pet fights".

Oh my god news media, STFU!

3 people live streamed their suicides in January out the COUPLE THOUSAND that occur every month on this miserable fucking planet. Stop acting like every other teen suicide is suddenly going to be done via Instagram or whatever ends up replacing Vine. Your headline literally boils down to "No one really understands kids, but this article thinks we might have figured something out and it's a doozy. Bring out the military school brochures, talk about spring break boot camp and scare those youngins straight!"
