Stuff Abound!

A collection of things I find interesting

[katevictoriax]

Boys need to be cuddled more. Put his head in your lap or on your chest. Stroke his hair, scratch his back lightly with your nails, rub his shoulders, kiss him on the top of his head. Anytime, not just when he’s feeling down or trying to fall asleep.

[pinjauski-deactivated20180601]

When I did this to my boyfriend for the first time he almost started crying because no one had ever done something similar to him before. And I think that is awfully sad.

[jedisonic]

This was probably the greatest thing I’ve seen all day!!!

[multidjc]

Ladies and gentlemen, my new favorite gif.

Medusa and her gargoyle gf

[bogleech]

Everyone’s assuming her petrifying gaze would have NO effect here and that’s clearly wrong. It would be a healing stat buff actually. She can regenerate and strengthen her girlfriend by looking at her.

[normal-horoscopes]

Just like girlfriends in real life

everything about this… this statue, the choppy waves, the cliffs behind her, the echo, the drumming….. aesthetic

Lyrics in Faroese:

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bál

Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg Galdramaður festi meg festi meg Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóð

English translation:

Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fire

Spellbound am I, am I The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s root

Btdubs, the singer is Eivør Pálsdóttir.

shoutout to the faroe island for being the only real viking island left

[kimbapchan]

Guys, it’s happening. Haha I am so nervous, but I finished earlier than I thought so my hand slipped >u> My original Webtoon, Default hero will be releasing April 26, 2021. 3:10 AM GMT+8

I’ll update and post again later when a link is available!

[butchniqabi]

babe wake up new US state just dropped

[definitely-not-an-alias]

I'm gonna look this up. And if the US got a new state today, and I found out on tumblr, I'm gonna go outside and scream.

[definitely-not-an-alias]

HOLY FUCK Washington DC is gonna be a state. Imma go outside and scream now.

[lesbianralzarek]

it's not passed through in the senate yet (as of 4/22/21), but the house passed a bill to make it a state. the importance of this is huge, both because it's super blue, but also because it deserves representation for it's nearly 700,000 residents

source from washington post

[what-even-is-thiss]

Fingers crossed for DC. If it passes I'm gonna be so happy for them. They've been fighting for this for so long.

[prismatic-bell]

https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/22/politics/dc-statehood-house-vote/index.html

CALL YOUR SENATORS. CALL AND WRITE. DEMAND THAT EVERYONE YOU KNOW DO THE SAME.

IT IS EXTREMELY UNCLEAR IF WE CAN GET THE NECESSARY 60-SEAT VOTE. CALL CALL CALL. MULTIPLE TIMES. CALL EVERY DAY.

Remember: DC literally cannot vote for this because THEY HAVE NO VOTE. It’s up to us to do right by our fellow citizens.

For tens of thousands who are living as we once fought an entire war against—no taxation without representation, remember that from elementary school?—MAKE THE CALL. I’m setting an alarm in my calendar for Monday, when the offices will be open again.

ALSO

I was a journalism major, once upon a time. When political groups have to release news they don’t like, they traditionally do so on Fridays, because on the weekends people aren’t looking so hard at the news. It lets them bury the story more easily.

SO GRAB A FUCKING SHOVEL, BABES. LET’S GO.

[dracogotgame]

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

hi guys! rb this one with petition links instead :)

[memewhore]

[bananahomo]

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

$2,714 of medical debt from my top surgery - gone. im shaking this was such a weight on me for 2 years and it fucking worked. what the fuck.

[levymcgarden55]

[important parts of the id: Hospitals legally must forgive hospital bills if you make less than a certain amount of money.

Search for name of hospital and “financial assistance”, looking for a financial assistance or Charity Care policy. The policy itself will probably be long, but you’re looking for a sliding scale. In the hospital the person looks up for the video, the bills will be completely forgiven at a household income of 3x the federal poverty level or less.

The only applies if the hospitals are nonprofits, which apparently many are. The person in the video works for a nonprofit that applies to these for others who need it, and their tiktok is @/dollarfor.]

[no-longer-another-bondi-blonde]

Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!

[amanda-bakes]

Interesting; I didn’t know this was a thing.

[hopefulmisanthrope]

It’s apparently a thing, but it’s a very new thing, so it may need some help being known.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_for_Help

[the-barefoot-hatter]

The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help over a video call, or in-person. It was originally created as a tool to combat the rise in domestic violence cases around the world as a result of the self-isolation measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic…

The Signal for Help was first introduced in Canada by the Canadian Women’s Foundation on April 14, 2020, and on April 28, 2020 in the United States by the Women’s Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from local, national, and international news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases.

The signal has been recognized by over 40 organizations across Canada and the United States as a useful tool to help combat domestic violence.

Addressing concerns that abusers may become aware of such a widespread online initiative, the Canadian Women’s Foundation and other organizations clarified that this signal is not “something that’s going to save the day,” but rather a tool someone could use to get help.

[jouster-ari]

[ID: A video depicting various instances of people using a signal for help. A graphic shows a hand with the fingers raised and the thumb against the palm, and then the fingers down over the thumb. The images of the hand are captioned “1: Palm to camera and tuck thumb” and “2: trap thumb.” It is identified as the “Violence At Home Signal for Help.” The next panel of the graphic reads “Use this signal to ask for help on a video call without leaving a digital trace. If you see this sign on a video call, find out how to help below.” No link is provided on the graphic. End ID]

[slothful-rabbit]

I laughed so fucking hard at this

[laurasimonsdaughter]

“Now, what did I tell you would happen?”

The child kicked their heels sulkily against the stone she had seated them on. “That I’d burn my hand…”

She hummed emphatically, carefully wrapping their chubby little fingers in one of her special bandages. The delicately embroidered runes and sigils were already beginning to glow, cooling the skin and soothing the pain. “And what have you got right now?”

“A burnt hand,” her little cousin muttered dejectedly.

“That’s right,” she nodded. With a careful touch of her index finger she let the fabric weave back into itself, fitting seamlessly around the little hand. She straightened up and looked at her cousin with her best imitation of scolding-parent-face. “So what have we learned?”

The kid’s ears basically drooped. “No booping the dragons,” they sighed.

Her face fell. “What? No!”

The dark eyes darted up again, dejection turning to confusion. “No?”

“Gods no!” she exclaimed. “I mean look at them!” She gestured wildly around the enclosure. Several of the smaller dragons were watching them curiously from their perches or hidey-holes. “Look at those snoots! They were made for booping,” she declared, turning back to her lightly scorched cousin. “What we’ve learned is: no booping the dragons before we’ve applied our fire wards.”

Her cousin’s eyes began to shine, their entire body perking up again. “And you will teach me fire wards so I can boop dragons?”

“I mean, I’d be a really irresponsible aunt if I didn’t, wouldn’t I.”

[aviaviator]

happy almost valentines day this is a reminder that singles, aromantics, and asexuals are valid and that a lack of romantic or sexual interest does not devalue you as a person

[aviaviator]

Every almost Valentine’s Day this post keeps getting notes and I’m just super glad that this message is spreading farther. Have a good Valentine’s Day, you’re valid even if you don’t experience sexual or romantic attraction and even if you don’t have a partner.

[phantoms-lair]

You are valid and also remember discount candy is for everyone!

Handwashing

by Weimankow & Temasekseen

[cranquis]

I can’t draw, but I’m gonna add something anyways:

WEARING GLOVES IN PUBLIC, HOWEVER, DOES NOT ACTUALLY HELP PROTECT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FROM CONTRACTING COVID-19.

Do you wash those gloves? No.

Do you change those gloves frequently after touching the supermarket baskets, handrails, etc? No.

Are your gloves protecting you from coronavirus particles soaking in through your skin? No, that’s not how coronavirus enters your body.

Do those gloves carry virus particles that you will then spread to yourself and others? YES.

STOP WEARING GLOVES IN PUBLIC AS PART OF YOUR “viral protection” PPE… just wash your hands. frequently. thoroughly. 

please.

[themedicalstate]

Great additions from Dr. @cranquis.

Wash your hands, wear a mask, and stop the spread.

[midiport]

i know vitamin c basically neutralizes adhd meds but lemonade good

[midiport]

yea lol

ADHD Medication information sheet

[brazenautomaton]

I have been struggling

For a long fucking time

with why my adderall was having such uneven effects and varying efficacy

and the weird pattern of what made it work and not work and if it was building up in my system or not

and fucking nobody told me I shouldn’t drink a glass of Kool-Aid to take the pills with

or eat fucking Pop-Tarts or Life cereal

this is the most useful information I have ever received from tubr and it seems to be confirmed by several other places upon searching

so this actually should be spread like wildfire like actually

[firebirdscratches]

[perpetualanachronisms]

Reblogging to spread this ridiculously important info

[punsbulletsandpointythings]

Generally speaking, your doctors actually may not know these things. This is the kind of stuff to ask your pharmacist about.
