WELP, WE'RE BONED

Hey all, Mytha here. i don't know how to put it flowerly so let me just be candid: I'm a disabled transfem, spoused to another disabled transfem, and we are looking down the barrel of a gun as we'll be Evicted by September by our current landlady due to various mishandlings by who was supposed to look out for us. We'll be out of HRT soon because the current heat wave is making going to the pharmacy to schedule bloodworks and go to the hospital to request our hrt borderline impossible. we have a single dinky fan to cool us both down and it's comically insufficient. I've been unemployed for the last 3 years due to my physical limitations (chronic pain is a pain in the ass, ha ha) and due to the fact that i live in Bumfuck Nowhere and don't have a car. I've used part of the 200€ we get monthly by our parents (same folks that put me in this situation by kicking me out, people!) to get a bike to possibly seek employment in a town 5km over, but again, the sun threatens to kill me and if not that i know Asthma will. been pulling all the stops all the time looking for a solution, but i seem to have exhausted all possibilities. making this post to start saving up for another place to stay by September. Rough estimate for new place down payment + moving.

Rob Zombie in an alternate universe where the main difference is that "Alucard" was the name of the count and "Dracula" was his pseudonym formed by reversing his name: Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam in the back of my Alugard

Songwriter and audio producer Scottina Humphrey who is a woman in this universe and that's the other difference: I'm a woman in this universe

[oblivionnecroninja]

Dragula was named after the DRAG-U-LA car from the Munsters, which in term derived its name from a pun based on the similarity between "drac" and "drag" (as in drag racing, not as in drag queen).

In the alternate universe you have described, the lyric would in fact be "dig through the ditches and burn through the witched and slam in the back of my Alucar."

I don't think that's true

PLEASE REBLOG!!!! HELP A BROKE TRANS WOMAN KEEP HER CAR

Hi, my name's Charlie. I struggle financially even at the best of times, I'm unable to get a solid job due to discrimination (either because of autism or transness), and the part time work I do get is unreliable and doesn't pay me enough to get by. I'm lucky enough to have a stable living situation for now, although that's also going to change within the next 12 months.

I've had a string of truly abysmal luck this year, where I had my car totalled in an accident, was unable to get something as good as the car I lost, and now have had even the car I did get die on me, and it had to get towed to the shop the other day.

I am just about dead broke, and the repairs could be anywhere in the range of $500 to $2400, and I just simply have no way of paying that myself, let alone my regular monthly bills that are supposed to come in at the end of the month. I'm really at a loss as to what to do, and I have no real options other than begging for help.

I really don't want to have to do this, and I know there's people out there more deserving of aid than me, but I don't have a choice at this point. Any little bit helps, and I appreciate anything anyone can do for me.

Support Charlie

Shout out to my girlfriend who saw "0 trans fats" on a bag of chips and got a rlly sad look on her face and said "but that's my favourite thing"

[cipheramnesia]

I feel like it hardly matters anymore, but Flock isn't the only unsecured intrusive data selling crime inventing AI hallucinating automated license plate reading mass surveillance camera operators. Axon and Motorola and Amazon and ALPR and CCTV and security cameras should be equally rejected. All surveillance must go.

[cipheramnesia]

There is no such thing as benign surveillance.

this was cute until i realized the fish is probably trying to not get eaten

[killhitleragain]

A fish trying not to get eaten wouldn’t slow down when the “predator” slows down. It also wouldn’t constantly swim in a circle near the edge of the tank; It’d try hiding. Also a fish in a tank in a a public place that is constantly filled with people is not likely to see people as predators.

[darkwingsnark]

Animals, I think people tend to forget, also enjoy playing.

[bunjywunjy]

yeah that fish is absolutely playing with that kid, if it really wanted to escape it would just dive into the reef in the center of the tank!

(Moorish Idols are reef fish and naturally will seek shelter in the nearest nook or cranny if they get scared.)

many people don’t realize this, but fish aren’t stupid animals! most of them are on par with mammals like mice and squirrels in terms of intelligence, and they absolutely do play.

[i-need-glitter]

I was at an aquarium a few years ago and decided to sketch a fish. It came up to me.

I decided to flip the book around and pressed it against the glass. Fish lost it

Swam away then came back with MORE FISH

to this day I love those little sketches and I really love how I got the fish to bring me it’s friends

[mysticdoodles]

Hi! Professional marine biologist and aquarist here- fish absolutely play, and not only that, can be trained.

I accidentally trained a fish once through playing.

Let me explain.

The small-time aquarium I worked at about 4 years ago had a decent sized female Sheephead. Sheephead are bright red with the males sporting a black head, and get big. I’m talking almost 1m long at full maturity (and may or may not transition from female to male depending on the number of males present). Point is, even though not fully matured, this Sheephead was a bit of a heavyweight in her kelp forest tank with a length of about 1ft making her the resident Biggest Dog In The Yard. And she absolutely knew it. She would bully her tankmates if she wanted to steal their food.

The thing about this Sheephead- let’s call her Red- is that she had one heck of a ‘tude. Red was known to splash aquarists whenever they fed the tank, and at almost a foot long with a wide tail, her splashes had quite a bit of heft and would soak you from the torso down. We were advised to bring a towel or two to protect ourselves from most of the drenching. When it was my go-around to feed Red’s tank, I was fairly new to the little facility, but I had been warned in advance of Red’s penchant for food thievery. I noticed she would follow my hand movements, so I slowly moved to drop her food in a far corner, and fed her tankmates directly from my hands or by tong if they were too deep. I always made sure Red had plenty to eat, but I didn’t want her to associate the food with bad behavior, so I treated her to a bit extra food whenever she didn’t steal food. One day, she made a beeline to the surface so fast that she did a small jump, her entire head breaching the water. She wasn’t bothering her tankmates or doing anything remotely dangerous- and full disclosure, it was cute seeing a fish jump for joy- so I laughed and gave her another piece of food.

Naturally, positive reinforcement led to her connecting the dots that jumping at the surface, even the tiny jumps she was doing, meant she got more food.

This started to become an everyday occurrence, whenever I was assigned to feed Red’s tank. She would jump, just enough for her head to pop out, then she’d wait patiently for me to give her the treat she CLEARLY earned. It even got to the point that she’d open her mouth and I’d drop the food right into those massive jaws- this was preferable to her Kenghis Khan-ing her way through a shower of chopped squid like the Tasmanian Devil, as there was less risk of her accidentally (or purposefully) biting a tankmate that got too close. Red became a polite eater for the first time.

It wasn’t until I noticed she followed me around outside of feeding time that I realized Red was playing with me.

I never got splashed by Red even once. My coworkers, however, received quite the dunking whenever it was their turn to feed the kelp tank.
