We'll Be Okay

My name is Sawyer, they/them pronouns, 19 years old, and I'm here to boost positivity and share some tips I find!

[faninacan]

Seriously guys, don't forget about Net Neutrality

They ignored millions of comments in favor of NN in July. They’ll happily ignore them again if we don’t keep bombing them with protests over the next couple weeks leading to the vote. They’ll only care if we make them care.

Contact your representatives. Contact Congress. Use all the online resources people have been suggesting - including those of you outside the US. Keep reblogging, retweeting, and making your own posts. Keep this trending and spread the word. Even now, there are people who don’t know and don’t understand what’s going on.

Repealing NN means people will lose their jobs. Repealing NN means fandoms will die. Repealing NN will mean higher costs for education and healthcare (they need internet access, too, and will bill WE THE PEOPLE for it). Repealing NN means losing your favorite websites that can’t pay the millions needed to convince ISPs not to block their websites entirely. Repealing NN means slower internet access on top of all that unless you’re willing to pay more. There is no benefit to this unless you’re the ones making billions off axing the internet.

Keep protesting.

Ugh I’m revamping my other blogs. I hate them being side blogs because I want to have a separate dash for each of them. Gonna slowly make new main blogs for each of them. I dunno if it’s gonna work so I’ll keep the side blogs in existence in case I want to go back, but we’ll see.

[themediafix]

Breaking news: The D.C. Appeals Court just killed Net Neutrality. This could be the end of the Internet as we know it. But it doesn’t have to be.  Tell the FCC to restore Net Neutrality: http://bit.ly/1iOOjoe

[autbucky-remade]

they want to make the internet like tv. with channels and paying to get to specific websites and things. net neutrality = not doing that

[fyeahwhovians]

This impacts every internet user. Please signal boost the hell out of this and sign the petition if you are American

[artofcarmen]

I do not reblog things like this very often, but this affects me both personally and my business as a freelance artist.

In the economy here; cash is already strapped as it is. You bet your ass companies would suck the ever living life out of misc. art sites.

I don’t want it to ever come down to me choosing between groceries or purchasing a new tier package via comcast to be able to access tumblr or DeviantArt (let alone not guaranteeing I’ll even be seen by my customer base since they may not want to pay out their asses either). It doesn’t seem important to most, but I do 90% of my business online entirely.

Please sign up, fight for this and share it with your followers/friends/family and urge them to give them hell as well.

[slitheringink]

Not writing related, but this is incredibly important. While we pay for service via ISPs, the internet has been a relatively free space where everyone, no matter their income level, is able to connect, access a wealth of information, and express themselves. The Internet has become a major part of our culture as human beings and the notion that ISPs might be able to limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more is utterly sickening. A lot of us are cash strapped as is, and I’d rather not be limited even more by someone else’s greed. Net Neutrality is essential and I hope you guys will understand why it needs to remain.

-Morgan

P.S. Signal boost this if you’re able.

[blackwoolncrown]

“ limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more”

 limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more

 limit what sites I can access unless I pay them more

As I understand this ruling, it means that businesses now have to pay extra to ISPs to have access to their websites through that ISP provided at a reasonable speed. If you don’t pay, users’ access to your website will be slowed to a crawl - so independent people and small businesses can forget about getting onto that high speed access tier. 

This means that the American internet is going to be firmly under the control of those who have the most money. You’ll only get to see the content of those who can pay the ISPs to provide access at a reasonable speed. This means that you can expect to see skewed representation of just about everything, with those bigger businesses who can afford to pay ISPs a premium for access deciding what you can and cannot read, view and consume on the internet.

This is not something that we have in the UK. Our ISPs compete with each other to provide higher speeds, better services and lower prices, but because there’s a monopoly in the US of a few ISPs who provide services, they can afford to do this to you. You can’t go anywhere else, after all.

Everyone in the US needs to sign that petition, call their representatives, write angry letters and do whatever you can to tell your government that this ruling is Not Okay.

Maybe you guys are sick of this post but It’s really important to freelance artists and pretty much everyone who uses the internet, so here it is again.  \o0o/

here, have some wilted asparagus at the cheapest low quality grocery story

[seventh-gen-moon]

THIS is why i get so angry when non-natives say, “just go to the grocery store! you don’t need to hunt such and such animal bc of _______ bullshit reason!” Like NO. it’s not as simple as that. going to the store ? this is what you see ^^^^ please educate yourself. I am so very tired of the ignorance and assumptions that all people in america have the same basic amenities. Also stop ridiculing NDN people who hunt their traditional way on THEIR traditional hunting grounds. whatever the “problematic” animal may be. Those animals were put here by the creator FOR indigenous peoples, to live belong side us in harmony and good health, and to feed the people when the time comes. ALL ndn people of the “americas” are hunter/fathered people traditionally. respect our ways of life or GTFO.

I feel like this article is relevant here, especially with that last comment:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4787000/Alaskan-boy-bullied-social-media-whale-killing.html

Be aware that price-gouging is enourmously prevalent in Alaskan Native villages too, so here comes this young adult who goes out and kills a whale the traditional way, all to feed his village!!! ONE SINGLE WHALE.

Which by the way isn’t even endangered.

And you know what the animal rights’ activists do?

They sent him death threats.

All over a fucking NON-ENDANGERED whale.

This man is a hero in his village, he fed everyone there for days. Below-working class Alsaskan Natives who otherwise would’ve had to travel hours to get to the nearest grocery store.

Entitled vegans always say “well why don’t you just go to the store and buy fresh produce?”

Because there aren’t stores where Rez Natives live.

And if you’re lucky, you’ll find shit like the images above, you wanna pay $30 CA for some fucking asparagus???

Unless you’ve seen the Rez life and how shit is, then you need to shut the fuck up and keep your entitled shit to yourself.

Replace Rez with ‘Remote Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander community’ for the shit Australian First Nations people go through,

Please help me not get kicked out of uni: buy writing commissions

Hey, guys!

I really hate to ask anything of anyone, but I’m in a really rough place right now. I’ve been looking for a job since I got to Portland, but I still haven’t landed anything. I have about $60 of accessible money, and I need to pay a bill of $518.64 on November 6th.

This is my account balance, and I’m hoping I’ll be able to find work before the one in December starts looming. For now, even if I do get a job before the 6th, I won’t get any money until after this month’s balance is due.

Here’s where writing commissions come in.

I’ve been in a huge writing kick for a while now, cranking out a ton of (hopefully) quality content in a short amount of time. Examples of my warm-ups here. These ones are of my daydreams, so keep that in mind.

I’ll be asking $10 starting for a commission, and the price will go up depending on how complicated it is.

Example #1: Short, sweet, fluff between two characters in a show I’m familiar with. Estimated two pages, no added action other than happiness and blankets. $10.

Example #2: Estimated twenty page action short story with OC’s I need to read bios and example material for. Multiple scenes, several different characters, unfamiliar universe. $25.

I’ll also do textbook notes for $15 a chapter (given I find the textbook online. I’ll make sure I can before I ask you to pay me, obviously.)

Prices are definitely negotiable, I really need money right now (though, I won’t go under $10 for more than one page. I’ll go down if you want less than a page). Message me for more details.

And if anyone is just sweet and nice, my paypal is here for donations.

[liveofourloves]

Please, you guys. I’m getting messages saying that I could be kicked out of housing if I don’t pay my full balance by December 6th. I’ve been searching for jobs non-stop, but I haven’t landed anything solid. My mom is trying to help, but I know she doesn’t have $1000 laying around.

I’ll try to put together a drawing commission page, too. I know that I’m begging, and I know everyone has it rough these days, but I’m freaking out. Between Dipper dying and that account balance, I don’t know what to do right now.

Please.

child handling for the childless nurse

My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old.  Here’s my impressions so far:

Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal.  Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.

Age 1 - 2: Hates you.  Hates you so much.  You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them.  There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.

Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe.  Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them.  Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.

Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually.  I did not realize kids were this cool.  Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn.  Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”

Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable.  Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other.  At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult.  Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers.  (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)

Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience.  Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care.  Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there.  At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny.  And they’ll want one.  Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.

This is also a pretty excellent guide to writing  kids of various ages

I had to have my cat put down today and I cannot even begin to sift through what I’m feeling right now. I don’t know what to do or if there’s even anything to do.

I would have put this under a read more but going to my computer to do that would take more energy than I have to give right now

Yo don’t forget the Taino people on Columbus Day

The were the first people to come in contact with the murderous bastard who enslaved their people and kidnapped their children

It’s often assumed the Taino’s were “wiped out” they weren’t

Taino/Arawak people are from Caribbean islands mainly (from my limited knowledge) Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Haiti.

We as Indigenous people need to remember not to wash away the histories of other Nations not in North America

Remember while we all have suffered since Columbus got lost, these people especially in Puerto Rico and Haiti still suffer from American Imperialism

Remember Tainos on Columbus Day

When your psych textbook says autism is an affliction and that families of autistic children are in ss o;; mu ch distr ess;;;

It’s talking about the facilitated communication bs and acting like the parents with false allegations thrown against them are the real victims and completely glosses over all of the nonverbal autistic children that have been taken advantage of.
