Gofundme Update!

Hiya. I know the last update had positive news, but this time it's bittersweet. I am... okay. For now. Unfortunately, buyers demanding refunds have continued. This means for every bit donated, it's just keeping me with anywhere between $10 and $50 in my account before the next refund and inevitable overdraft hits. It just won't stop, let alone allow us to fix the rest of it. I'm barely keeping my head above water - financially and mentally. I need a miracle. I am grateful for the help so far. Things would be far worse without all of you donating so selflessly. I'll be okay. I have no choice.

❆ You can help here. ❆

My sister, who I live with, thought she couldn't get the vaccine because she doesn't have insurance.

We're not really used to "free".... spread the word.

[pandasrawesomest]

It depends where you go too. I tried to sign up at CVS and it said "free with insurance"

[scaryterryj]

In the US they are not allowed to charge an individual for this vaccine. They are allowed to bill your insurance. Whether you have insurance or not, you will not pay anything.

THERE WILL BE A QUESTION ON THE REGISTRATION ABOUT INSURANCE YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL IT OUT.

When I registered there was a page for insurance information. We were instructed just to put “no insurance” and keep going.

[jumbof]

Everyone should know this.

[startrekgifs]

It is FREE please get it!

751 unmarked graves found at former residential school for Indigenous children in Canada

The Cowessess First Nation made the 'horrific and shocking' find at the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan.

My heart continues to break for my First Nations/Indigenous neighbours, friends, and adoptive family…

Hundreds Of Unmarked Graves Found At Another Indigenous School In Canada

Last month the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, were found buried on the site of what was once Canada's largest Indige

REGINA, Saskatchewan — A First Nation in southern Saskatchewan said Wednesday that it has discovered hundreds of unmarked graves at the site of another former residential school for Indigenous children.

A statement from the Cowessess First Nation and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous First Nations, which represents Saskatchewan's First Nations, said that "the number of unmarked graves will be the most significantly substantial to date in Canada."

Last month the remains of 215 children, some as young as 3 years old, were found buried on the site of what was once Canada's largest Indigenous residential school near Kamloops, British Columbia.

Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme and Chief Bobby Cameron of the federation planned to hold a news conference Thursday to provide more details about the new find at the Marieval Indian Residential School, which operated from 1899 to 1997 where Cowessess is now located, about 87 miles east of Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan.

I love that Leverage really goes out of it’s way to show us that just because you break the ‘rules’, it doesn’t mean you’re breaking the rules. Rules and laws and society are all made up, at the end of the day, and all you really have is your own moral compass and sense of justice; is this just to you? Is it right? Should it be OK for companies to put people in insurmountable debt for the rest of their lives just because our medical care is so expensive in this modern day and age? No law or rule should change what you know in your heart is right and wrong, and I think that’s the key thing that makes someone a good person in my eyes.

#there was a time when parker wouldn’t have noticed, #not because she lacked the capacity to care, #but because she had narrowed herself, #to stay alive she cut off as many unnecessary things as possible, #watching her get them all back, #is one of the glories of this show (via @seananmcguire)

Leverage hands down has the best character development I’ve ever seen.

[lets-go-steal-an-ot3]

This scene hit me like a brick. My parents were hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt when I was 16 bc I’d had cancer the year before (my treatment ended up being free but the initial ER bills and such were not).

But somewhere along the line they just… Disappeared. My mom says they’re not being paid and they’re not in collections. It’s almost as if someone out there did…exactly what Parker did.

Ever since I saw this the first time, I’ve imagined it was Parker doing it. That she and Hardison had a free weekend and decided to take it out on a collections agency. That I was one of the lucky ones who got a little Leverage.

[gay-jesus-probably]

Okay but like yeah, that is actually a thing that happens, albeit not exactly like this. I don’t remember the exact process but basically there’s a booming industry to sell peoples debt - the business you owe money to sells it to someone else for a fraction of the money owed, wipes their hands of the whole affair, and now whoever bought your debt is riding your ass to get you to give the money to the. But it’s also entirely possible for people to just… buy up massive amounts of debt for pennies on the dollar, and then just. Forgive it. Because capitalism is a living nightmare, but the system is broken enough that it’s possible to exploit it for good sometimes.

Like, the main reason I know about this is because John Oliver did a piece on debt buying a few years ago, and ended it by revealing that he’d bought 15 million dollars worth of medical debt just so he could forgive all of it. Both to expose how broken the system was because some random fucker like him could buy millions of dollars in peoples debt with zero regulations, and also just to take the record for biggest TV giveaway in history.

A charity where you can do this, right here.

Be Parker!

HOLY SHIT. I didn’t know this charity existed.

When you finally see your husband after half a century or something.

I drew them but then forgot I painted Maedhros with a cloak in pt 2, so I guess the hound yoinked it when he jumped.

I know I already commented on this one but I really want to again because it’s just so good! (and I’m reblogging this time because it’s SO GOOD) I just love everything about this painting. The embrace where Meadhros threw himself at Fingon and they’re just holding each other so tightly. The landscape is so textured and beautiful, the puppers having such a great time and the horses just chilling, the one saying “no give them privacy” and the other “I wanna watch”. the composition is so beautiful. You did such a fantastic job on it. I think this series here are my favorites so far.

Help me not freeze!, organized by Tamara Moore

I live in Alberta Canada, and as you can see, it can get pretty darn cold here. The issue I have is … Tamara Moore needs your support for Help me not freeze!

I hate doing this, but the situation has gotten pretty bad. Where I live is currently -30 Celsius and is meant to stay that way for awhile. If anyone even looks at this, I will be incredibly grateful.

[houndsofvalinor-art-deactivated]

My @officialtolkiensecretsanta contribution! At the Mereth Aderthad, Maedhros and Beleg and Mablung are discussing march warden stuff, a young Gwindor is listening raptly and aspires to be as valiant as Maedhros, and Maglor and Daeron have swapped instruments in an effort to see who's the better minstrel. Beleg has the vibes of someone who, when at a party, never fails to become bffs with whatever pets are present. My giftee had such wonderful characters for their prompts and I really tried to find a way to include several of them here. :D

Coast To Coast Call To Action

Shut Down Canada!

A diversity of tactics is welcomed and encouraged

[p4radox99]

Having to prove your blood quantum is just fucking disgusting! Having to prove to the government that you are enough part of a race they oppressed, abused and mistreated and still mistreat, abuse and oppress, to get the things they’ve promised you. I just can’t understand why the American government is so against acting like decent human beings??
