Not much to know about me really.. Do not Repost my art thanks. Reblogs are your friend ;3

[the-ladyguinevere]

Please stop making posts discouraging people from voting, especially if you don't live in the US. This isn't your fight, and you seem to think it doesn't matter who wins to you anyway. Let those of us who won't survive another Trump term deal with it. Hi. Me. Anarchist and socialist ideals are cool and all, but I won't get to be a part of them because I'll be fucking dead. This is not an exaggeration. I am 26 and I expect to be dead in 2-3 years if Trump wins. If Biden wins not only will I survive, but I will have the energy to fight his old racist ass on every awful thing he does.

[the-ladyguinevere]

Hey guess what: Trump has plans to eliminate Disability next year. He has the authority to do it by the method he is choosing.

Biden plans to expand Disability, increasing the amount you receive as well as granting ACTUAL MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

I had to call off my engagement so that I can apply for Disability, but if Trump wins it won't even matter because Disability won't exist this time next year.

The idea that there is no difference between Trump and Biden is co-morbid with apathy for your disabled comrades. If Trump wins, I will probably lose access to my medications and be forced to work so my family can survive. The problem is that literally any job can and will kill me. I don't expect to make it halfway through 2023 if Trump wins the election. And that's just me. How many thousands or tens of thousands or more are in my situation? How many hundreds of thousands are WORSE OFF than I am?

Vote blue so there is a politician in office who we can actually fight on his bullshit. Don't stop protesting. Don't stop calling and writing. Push for the end of gerrymandering and the electoral college. But make sure your Disabled friends and loved ones are there to see the future you're trying to create.

[qunari]

every little fucking difference between biden and trump matters. you can compare every other issue they are the same in all you want - but the flat out REFUSAL of leftists to acknowledge the people who will not survive another trump term shows how expendable we are to y'all too, and as a disabled person, how am i supposed to see the left as any better than the right if they're both willing to let me die because yalls politics only are self serving? OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE THAN YOUR OWN. if you truly think biden won't make a change for you with his presidency, or that trump can't make it any worse for you than it already is, maybe even just PRETEND to give a shit for other people in different situatuons.

I've seen a lot of "well biden is just as sexist/racist as trump so it doesn't matter" but I'll tell you right now that every disabled woman and disabled poc who needs disability to survive fucking matters and will be saved with a biden term, and NOT another trump term.

we fucking matter.

[naamahdarling]

Yeah, these little "no we have to tear it down and buld up from the ashes" shits are ableist as fuck.

I AM your ashes, you utter fucking assholes. I am your collateral damage. Show some fucking consideration to the people who will be IMMEDIATELY fucked by your "let it burn" "but I hate Biden" mentality.

this is what i mean when i say “actually tolerance isn’t all that bad” this guy says several times that he doesn’t understand and even is uncomfortable, but that that isn’t what matters. imo, that’s how tolerance works.

[jumpingjacktrash]

true tolerance is, “i don’t have to understand, because you don’t need my permission to live. my job as a member of your community is to have your back, whether i understand your situation or not.”

Hello Luna! You don't have to post this, but I miss chatting and Rping with you! Hit me up on Skype sometime, we can catch up! My Skype handle is presently [dragon noises]. Hope you are doing well! - Your old bud Lamont

I sent you a message on skype letting you know my discord. Sorry this is super late.

[lunasumerin]

Hi! Sorry if this is random, but I was browsing the Toshocon tag and saw your posts. I got a little worried bc I'm signed up for Toshocon this coming week and yikes. Then I noticed the posts were from 2012?? Did you happen to give the con another try since then? Have you heard anything else about how they run their AA now? I've been a little apprehensive because how much audience can a library con draw in? And it's gonna cost me around $50 to get there. It's the Toshocon in NJ, right?

sorry this is such a late response I haven’t been on tumblr in ages. I have no idea if you went to this or not, but I hope it went alright. And no I hadn’t been back. I mean I was banned from the con so its not like I could anyway XD

[lunasumerin]

Okay so guess I’m leaving tumblr.

If you want to contact me, you can find me on twitter @lunasumerin. I’m not going to delete my blog but I won’t be posting on it anymore. It might get flagged anyway since there is nsfw stuff on it.

You can also message me on discord at: Gabriel Reyes#6804

A better, more positive Tumblr

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

Man, you guys are really dumb. The fact that adult content was allowed here is what made the site so popular. Why don’t you just work harder on removing bots and illegal content instead?

Why do companies not seem to care to actually address the real problems and make decisions that are going to destroy their company instead? Oh well. Sucks to be you guys since you’re killing your site.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! It’s been rough but I finally managed to finish my thanksgiving comic from last year. In hindsight I’m actually glad I did it this year because I don’t think I would have been able to put as much care into it if I had done it the year prior. With that being said, I’m very thankful that I’ve been able to have so much fun in the Overwatch community and I hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!!!

Just to be clear: I take Michael Chu’s word over the va director’s, so if he says they did not date, then they did not date.

However, she does very clearly say “ex-lover.”

I’m uploading this clip mainly to show that miscommunications do occur even between team members.

She says “like” an ex-lover, she doesn’t specifically say that she “is” though.

i don't want to sound like putting my nose where it doesn't belong but... you can't live with 1400$ per month? i'm just confused because currently, i can make ends meet with under 800$ per month (since i'm on disability) but we might live in different countries and i know things can be more expensive elsewhere... feel free to not answer this if you don't wanna get into this.

Keep reading

[deershstagla]

Geographical location makes such a massive difference in cost of living, even within a single country, especially when you take into account the size of the country and differing minimum wages.

I live in WA state, central area, with my mother. Our cost of living is not as bad as around Seattle, but we still have to make choices to work with what we have. Before I went to work also (while I was taking care of my father until he got his surgery), we had a NET (after taxes) income of around 1500 a month.

And yeah, it was doable.

But we were driving cheap beat up old cars that were not very reliable (read this as, mum would leave for work about an hour to an hour and a half early JUST IN CASE the car broke down on the way. So she’d be able to figure out how to STILL get to work.

We live 16 miles out of town. Because the rent is cheaper. (575 for a 2 bd, 1 ba trailer as opposed to 800 or so for a 1 bd 1 ba, or 1000+ for anything more. Figures based on places that ALLOW PETS because we don’t leave family behind just bcus we might have to move).

If we lived in town, that 1500 ish a month wouldn’t be enough. Lose a grand for rent? That would leave 500 for food, electric, phone, gas, garbage, water, internet(which we’d probs just go w/o), and any emergencies like vehicle troubles or whathaveyou. It doesn’t work.

And this is with us having ZERO DEBT to be making payments on. We are LUCKY in that we have been able to keep afloat enough to not take on debt, that our health (despite no insurance and not seeing doctors) have been good enough that we haven’t been hospitalized. SO MANY PEOPLE have it a lot lot worse.

Living can be expensive as fuck, and location has a LOT to do with how expensive it is.

[badassfoodog]

Yeah I agree with this 100%. I live in WA and my bro and I have to move out together since our parents are selling their place. Rent for us is going to be 1560 a month for two bedroom plus bath and not including water, heating, trash and electricity. That will probably be another 300 plus food which is most likely be another 300 and internet is going to be at least 80. Gas for me is about 65-70 every two weeks and plus I’ll have to pay a fee for my pets which is 25. Not to mention paying for my phone bill AND the small credit card debt. It’s going to be some rough times for me in the next year or two until I can get a better salary at work. WA living cost sucks ass.

[lunasumerin]

I live in washington too and am on disability. If you have to pay rent, the most you get from disability is $750. That doesn’t even cover the $800 rent at a low income apartment. Only reason I can live there is because my friend got the place and I moved in with them. Its kind of stupid but if you don’t have to pay rent or bills. Disability will give you $500 but if you do you only get 250 more. Like.. I’m not sure how that’s supposed to cover any sort of rent.

It’s honestly a really weird thing because if you have bills to pay you end up with LESS money to live on than if you’re just living for free with family. I’m pretty sure that the amount I get is based off the living cost in a different state. If my friend suddenly couldn’t pay rent, I couldn’t even pay for a single months rent, how shitty is that?

I don’t think there’s anywhere in the state that rent is less than 800. There are a LOT of homeless people here because of the high cost of living.

In January 2018, The Danish Broadcast Corporation (DR) aired a concert called “The Duel – Morricone Draws First” performed by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra /DR SymfoniOrkestret, The Danish National Concert Choir with various soloists conducted by Sarah Hicks. The concert was hosted by singer/composer/author Kristian Leth. The music performed was titles from a wide range of western movies and mafia movies reflecting different perspectives on an Italian-American movie and film music style.

Abled Person: Hey man, can you hold this wad of $2,000 and this one penny for me while I open my wallet?

Disabled Person: YOU COMPLETE AND UTTER FOOL!

The United States Government:

(Watch how many people don’t get this.)

[marauders4evr]

#raises hand #i dont understand #please explain? 

In order for disabled people to receive any sort of financial assistant for their housing, food, bills, medical supplies, etc., they cannot ever have more than $2,000 of resources to their name. Ever.

It doesn’t matter what it’s for.

You’re saving up for a new wheelchair?

For college?

To put a downpayment on a house?

Hell man, you just happen to budget for once in your life so that you can have some extra money in case something bad happens?

Your benefits immediately get cut off if you’re a cent over $2,000.

And, even worse, you usually end up having to pay back every dollar the government gave you that month.

So say you get $400. If they find out you’re twenty dollars over the resource limit, you have to give them all $400 back and you undergo an investigation of your funds to see if you will continue getting money.

“What if I spend the money that day?”

Doesn’t matter. In fact, from what I can tell, people who do this are actually put under investigation for fraud.

And yes, this system literally kills people.

Remember when “Guardians of the Galaxy” came out? one of Rocket Racoon’s creators, Bill Mantlo, suffered an accident in 1992 and has irreparable brain damage.

before the movie came out, Marvel gave him an exclusive preview screening. SOme people were upset because they felt if Marvel was really wanted to thank mantlo, they should have donated money to Mantlo’s family.

Bill Mantlo’s brother had to come out and explain: If Marvel gave them monetary aid, Bill Mantlo would lose his financial assistance.

I have friends on welfare who won’t pick up a penny in the street because they’d risk the welfare they struggled to get for 10 years.

[raenboow]

oh look another fucked up thing in this world. let’s just add it to the list. number 63858b

[luvtonique]

My brother has been on California State SSI for autism for the last 10 years, and he absolutely has to (no joke, HAS TO) spend all 720 bucks of his SSI every month, because if he puts it in the bank he risks losing his SSI altogether.

Sometimes, at the end of the month, he has no idea what to do with his money because the whole month went by and he still has 400-ish bucks in his account, and he fucking panics because he doesn’t want to get anywhere near 2,000.

And here’s the funnest part of the story!

One day he did a huge commission on Second Life and wound up earning 1500 bucks off of it, and he told the guy to donate it 500 bucks at a time over 3 months. The guy didn’t want to, and just donated all 1500, which put my brother at 2,036 bucks.

The state IMMEDIATELY (I’m talking less than an hour) called him up to tell him over the phone that they were canceling his SSI, because they noticed he had gone over the 2,000 buck threshold. He had to tell them that someone had made a charitable donation to him and that this was not a common occurrence in any way shape or form, and upon not believing him, my mother had to call to talk to them as his legal caretaker and say basically the same thing until they called off the cancellation of his SSI money.

He also had to cancel his renter’s assistance because it put him to 1,062 a month, so if he went 30 days without spending any money they’d cancel his SSI altogether. Like, none of us in the family have any fucking clue why that regulation is in place and it’s the stupidest shit in human history.

Please, legal side of Tumblr, tell me what positive reasoning this law has?

[euryale-dreams-deactivated20201]

It’s not just money, though. Things you own can count against your resource limit as well provided that they’re not exempt and provided that they’re worth money.

Also, the rules about what is and is not exempt from being counted against your resource limit are incredibly vague and deliberately open to interpretation. Even things that are normally exempted like clothing or furniture could be deemed non-exempt if a capricious bureaucrat decides that it’s actually worth too much money and thus counts as an ‘investment.’

As someone who receives SSI this causes me a huge amount of stress.

[twodotsknowwhy]

This is so unbelievably fucked up

[prudencepaccard]

don’t couples have to divorce sometimes because their combined income disqualifies them from assistance?

not to mention if you can manage to get a part time job or something ssi wants like half of what you make. thats what the experience in arizona is about anyway

[lunasumerin]

Yeahh.. this is.. one of the things I have to deal with. Though I don’t get enough from them to make me all that concerned. Half of what I get every month goes to paying my share of the rent. I usually have like $5 or less in my bank account before the month is half over.

Just so I could buy a bed for my room at the apartment, my friend had to buy it and then I had to pay them back over the course of a few months. I mean I get $750 a month in ssi and less than $200 in foodstamps. It’s enough, but it sure isn’t high living lol. If I didn’t have to pay rent I’d get $500 a month. its funny cause before I had to pay rent and I got that, I’d have more spending money than I do now that I pay rent because rent costs more than $250 lol.
