If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!

Hi I work for my state's 211 service. It really breaks my heart how many people only know to call us at the last minute. 211's can provide a whole wealth of resources to use before things ever get to a cut off utility, eviction, or homelessness!

I can't speak for all 211's but most should also have a website detailing all the agencies in their database. if you don't like phone calls, this can be something to reference instead.

If you don't have health insurance but you need to see a doctor, reference 211! We list clinics that provide free or discounted general care, vision, and dental services to low income households and people without insurance! Many hospitals also have financial aid policies that can severely reduce your bill if you had an expensive procedure!

If you're stuck in a dead end job or need educational resources reference 211! There are a lot of programs focused on providing basic adult education as well as trade skills or other high demand fields! State governments are generally more interested in funneling people into work than providing benefits, but you can still use this to your advantage especially if you have some form of disability but are still able to work. That includes if you're neurodiverse or have mental health issues! Most of these programs are extremely underutilized.

If you believe you qualify for public benefits but the bureaucracy of the process is in your way, reference 211! There are agencies specifically geared towards helping people obtain the benefits they qualify for- for free!

If you need help with your taxes-

If you need help finding a pro bono lawyer-

If you need help finding affordable housing/section 8 housing-

If you need help finding food pantries-

If you need help paying for your prescriptions-

If you need help obtaining disability aids or assistive technology-

If you need help finding transportation options-

If you need help following a natural or personal disaster (like a home fire)-

If you need help repairing a home you or your family owns or it needs modifications to be accessible-

If you need Queer resources-

Reference your 211!!!!!

I had no idea what 211 was before working for it but I wish I had. I've learned so much about what resources are actually available to the community even in a ho hum area of the country like my state. I've saved my partner literally thousands of dollars just from the medical resources I've gathered.

Not enough young people know about or utilize these services but they are there for you!

P. S.

This isn't an intended use of 211, but I like to reference the agency listings when I look for jobs. Many of the agencies listed are non-profits which, while they certainly are not perfect, generally have lower barriers of entry to decent paying jobs with benefits. The work environments tend to be much kinder and at least pretend to be forward thinking. You're more likely to find jobs without as many people applying as well, especially if they're only advertising their positions through their own website.

Oh my goodness. Sharing this because maybe your state has something to help you see a dentist! If it's been a while, please see I'd you have any dental services in your area. It's really so important to see a dentist.

"It was my choice. I bore Viserys three Targaryens. But with the last, my last... I wanted him to be a Hightower. In truth, I'm glad I waged that battle, seeing now what came of our other sons. Perhaps sending Daeron away was my truest act of motherhood."

There are many reasons why I don’t buy the cynical interpretation that Ariel gives away her identity for a man.

One of them starts in the next paragraph. Another one can be read here.

This screencap comes from Ariel’s introductory scene. She’s searching through a shipwreck for human artifacts–which is her passion–when suddenly she’s attacked by a shark.

While fleeing, she accidentally drops her bag full of artifacts right in the shark’s path. Without hesitating, she chooses her passion over her safety, risking her life for a dinglehopper.

The girl is an anthropologist who studies humans. That’s her passion, that’s how she spends her time…that’s her identity.

Sure, Eric is the catalyst that leads Ariel to changing her species and leaving her family–he certainly intensifies her feelings–but they’re feelings she already has, and they dictate most of her life.

If Ariel had the chance to become a human before she met Eric, everything that we know about her suggests that she probably would.

I did it for Louis. I do everything for Louis.

[cyndaquillover1074]

Oh what the fuck. Oh GODDDDDDDDDD. Loustat all the way down.

[violet-moonstone]

the amount of pearl clutching and moralizing in the iwtv/tvl fandom I'm seeing is insane

I cannot understand watching a show about violent, immortal beings who kill humans (most of whom enjoy the act) and getting upset when they say or do offensive things that make sense in the context of the show

on claudia's rant:

Claudia is trying to be as hurtful and cruel to louis as possible because she's trapped in some kind of hellish limbo, reliving all her pain and resentment in isolation without actually living. If you were in that situation would you be worried about being politically correct in your tirade against the parents who failed you?

claudia calling louis lestat's slave is in alignment both with the books and previous seasons. Both book and show claudia are disgusted by how willing louis is to follow lestat rather than stand on his own. The added racial element in the show only adds to claudia's resentment towards lestat. Considering the cultural context of seasons 1 and 2 she clearly does not like the idea of being ordered around and threatened by an arrogant white man. Louis' comparative willingness to do so infuriates her. Hence calling louis a slave -- like calling another black person uncle tom or a coon -- it's calling him out for being complicit in lestat suppressing their agency. A less racialized insult might be calling him a bootlicker, or sycophant or something like that, but clearly she wants to drive home the shame she thinks louis should feel at his lack of spine, so she calls him the most hurtful thing she can think of.

I've seen people call out black republican politicians and those who play into respectability politics by drawing parallels between them and a house slave -- a harsh reminder to them that even if they have the veneer of respectability, material comforts, and assimilation, they are ultimately cozying up to people who don't respect them as human beings

claudia calling louis' hair nappy is like...dear god in the grand scheme of things why tf are we getting mad about this? Yes, calling a black person's hair nappy is insulting. Claudia and louis have a shared cultural background and trading insults that are informed by your own experiences with cultural beauty standards and/or discrimination is pretty common. It's a shitty thing to do when it's not meant with affection, but Claudia is trying to be shitty.

So was this this offensive and even problematic? sure! but something being upsetting and having a problematic history associated with it doesn't mean your immediate response should be to condemn it entirely. Media isn't bad or irredeemable just because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

for the record -- I think it is absolutely valid to critcize the show and I have my fair share for this season. But being upset about Claudia's rant specifically just baffles me

[veryintricaterituals]

The concept of the Vampire Armand doing his complete curly hair routine so his curls can be ✨defined✨ for his double murder date with his fledgling

[professional-rat-eater]

I think it’s worth pointing out that neither Daniel nor Armand seem happy about having to do that to Lestat and Louis. Not that I thought for a second they ever would be.

There’s having an issue with someone, and there’s wanting them dead. Daniel is certainly not fond of Lestat, but Armand is, in his own way, and they both care about Louis.

Maybe they’re really trying to kill them, maybe they know it’s temporary (I believe the latter), but look at their faces as they walk away. Joyless. This was a last resort. Armand asked Lestat to stop. Lestat escalated, and so they had to as well. I mean this is the end of the world.

Look at Armand in particular. There’s a heaviness to the way he walks. He looks exhausted, and perhaps it’s a lack of sleep or perhaps he’s just tired of everything he’s had to do. Maybe he’s tired of being alone. Probably all three. But people want him to be the Gremlin so bad that they act like that’s all he is. Like that’s the “real him.” He still cares. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have asked Lestat to stop. He’s not a mindlessly violent person. It’s purposeful and restrained and utterly miserable.

[ladypaperwriterson]

"You simply cannot trust Louis, he's a completely unreliable narrator and every single thing he ever said should be put to question! It's so good that we finally have Lestat's version, which is obviously the only true one - so good to finally have a reliable narrator!"

The reliable narrator:

[kissesfromaghost]

All of them are so unreliable it's crazy. Louis, Lestat and Claudia all hold their own point of view with their own traumas, experiences, judgements and thoughts. None of them are reliable because none of them are able to be objective. The truth will always remain untold cause that's found in the middle.

Then again them not being able to tell an objective story is very human. Where 2 people fight 2 have fault, yet if you would ask both of them what happened you'd get 2 different stories.
