THIS SAME SHIT HAPPENED TO ME AND THEY REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY OR RESEND THE PACKAGE

[bigeyedchangelingchild]

practical advice if that happens to you contact your credit card company (or PayPal or however you paid). Give them every info you have. I ordered from the Bonjour Jolie box that was going around on Tumblr, and they offered a scent free one on the website so I ordered it, and they sent me one with scented products (which made me allergic to the whole box) and when I complained they refunded the additional $2 charge for scent-free only and said they no longer offer scent-free, which I said I wouldn’t’ve ordered if I knew because I have allergies and they were like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I forwarded it to Visa and Visa cancelled the payment getting me my money back.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Paypal all have way more clout with vendors than you do, and they will be able to use that to punish companies taking advantage of consumers if there is a pattern of lack of care consider reporting to the Better Business Bureau or other local consumer advocacy groups. 

Don’t let companies get away with this shit, if you pay for a product you have to get it or a refund, this doesn’t mean you have to be rude, but it’s your money.

Been forever since I’ve logged on wow ha feels weird.

[thefibrodiaries]

Disabled people shouldn’t have to live in fear of using wheelchairs and mobility aids part time just because abled people don’t have the basic understanding to realise that disability can fluctuate from day to day.

[sunflower-cane]

something that sucks so fucking much about being chronically ill and always in pain and having such loose joints is that one night i was just laying in my bed trying to figure out why i cant get in a comfortable position to sleep and whats wrong w my bed because fuck it feels like everythings shifting and weird and just generally so much discomfort that i cant sleep

and then i realized

OH

ita not my bed thats uncomfortable, its not my bed that hurts, its me and my body and my joints that dont feel connected and i just realized ill never feel relief or comfort for as long as im in this body.

so i cant sleep because of all the pain and discomfort, and nothing can help because it isnt my shitty mattress

its my shitty body, ans therea no fixing that.

[chronicallycozy-deactivated2018]

Chronic pain patients have a right to pain relief by means of opioids, but if you suffer from chronic pain I strongly encourage you to try CBD oil first.

My fiance got me some CBD candies and this is the first time my knees haven’t hurt in months. I’ve seen the hell my mother has had to go through on opioids from medical professionals, side effects and accidental withdrawal.

It might not work for you, in which case opioids might be a better option, but the side effects and potential harms of CBD are minimal in comparison.

[chronicallyrebellious]

All right so I’m gonna give you a little unbiased opinion here folks.

As a person who can’t take opioids other than on an acute basis and with copious amounts of Benadryl, I’m royally fucked in the pain relief department. I’m allergic to most natural remedies, PT doesn’t help, I’m already in a chair full time from the pain, and NSAIDs don’t touch me.

I recently started trying Charlottes Web oral CBD oil. Now, keep in mind that I am in the lowest dosage possible but so far I have seen some (VERY small) benefits, and do find that it helps minimize my inflammation. I also find that topical CBD oil works really well on my knees and neck.

My hydrocodone script however, the smallest dose you can get as well, by the way, (5mg) cut in half, kicks my pain in the nuts about 60% of the time.

So basically what I’m saying is; if you have chronic pain and can afford CBD oil (it’s pricey and my insurance doesn’t cover it 😥) then it’s worth a shot, but just keep in mind that it doesn’t work for everybody and, at least in my case, I’ve found it works better as a daily med but not so good on an acute basis.

I’ve also heard that some people only find pain relief from CBD and THC, but that’s still illegal in most states. However, if you’ve tried CBD only and it hasn’t worked, just remember to try THC if you ever get the chance. Sometimes that works better for folks.

Just though I’d share my experience as my path to pain management is still being made.

You know, two characters disliking each other doesn’t mean underlying sexual tension. Sometimes people can’t stand each other, and there’s damn good reasons for it. Constantly reducing a character’s valid reasons for hating someone to “sexual chemistry” or hidden feelings to justify your ship is side-eye worthy, and questionable at best. Cut that shit out. 

[animentality]

Just think about someone you dislike in real life.

I refuse to believe you have sexual tension with everyone you dislike in real life. Sometimes you just really dislike someone.

[breefolk-hates-staff]

If you’re struggling with this concept, imagine being in a room with Donald Trump and people claiming you must be sexually attracted to him.

have millennials killed the dry cleaning industry yet? i feel like that one’s gotta be pretty high on the list

[gluten-free-pussy]

I read an article about how Millennials don’t carry cash on them and got annoyed and literally yesterday I was out with a group of friends and NONE of us had cash

[blackfemmejeanvaljean]

I mean if you get robbed you can cancel the card and transactions. if you get robbed for cash that’s it man

If You’re Gonna Make Something Wheelchair Accessible, Don’t Make it a Thing

Here’s some examples awkward accessibility being a thing:

Your at a hotel that has a lift to get you from one sub-floor to another, but the lift can only be unlocked and operated by one specific person that the hotel now has to go find. Sure, they’ve made the entrance to the sub-floor is accessible, but now it’s a thing.

The buses are wheelchair accessible but the driver has to stop the bus, take 30 seconds to lower the goddamn ramp, move passengers out of their seats, hook up the straps and then secure you in the bus. Sure, they’ve made the busses accessible but now it’s a thing.

The restaurant has an accessible entrance, but it’s past the trash room and through the kitchen. Sure, the restaurant is accessible, but now it’s an insulting thing.

Here’s some great examples of accessibility not being a thing:

The train to the airport pulls up flush with the platform. I board with everyone else and sit wherever the fuck I want. Riding the train is accessible and not a thing.

In Portland, I press a button the side of the streetcar and a ramp automatically extends at the same time the door opens. I board in the same amount of time as everyone else. This is not a thing.

I get that it is difficult to design for wheelchair accessibility, but folks need to start considering the overall quality of the experience versus just thinking about meeting the minimum requirements.

[literaryfurball]

For the love of all things holy please pay attention to this

[silversarcasm]

I feel like the whole over-celebration of an ~exceptional~ disabled person is really tied into like the refusal to make the world accessible?

Like a disabled person puts years of effort and resources into achieving something that people say that should not be able to do, that the world has been built in order to prevent them doing 

And instead of having a conversation about the masses of extra effort disabled people have to put in to even survive let alone do these things, about how someone should not have to be dedicating all their time and effort into carving out a space for themselves while everyone else looks the other way, about how things need to be accessible for every single disabled person, not just those who can perform well enough for abled people

we get articles about this magical inspirational disabled person!!! wow look at that!!! doesn’t it warm your heart!!! the only disability in life is a bad attitude!!

[ofspeckledplumage]

Everyone seems to mention the depressed people who can’t eat, so I’d just like to do a shout out to the people who can’t stop eating.

Who deal with depression by binge eating or eating comfort food.

Who gained weight because food is the only thing that gives them any semblance of pleasure any more.

I see you, and you’re beautiful and valid. You’re not any less depressed or ill because you eat.
