Fanart for charity (amazon rainforest)

As most of you probably know, the Amazon Rainforest has been burning for weeks now. As I try to be as environmentally conscious as possible in my everyday life, this just gutted me. So I thought I’d try this:

I’ll doodle a chibi of your favorite character, yourself, your partner, whoever, for a $3 USD (per character/person) donation to Rainforest Foundation, which, according to Charity Navigator, has a 94.6 score out of 100. There are other charities but I found this one the easiest to donate to and the one with the least glitchy website.

If you’d rather sent the money to my paypal, I can pool together however many “orders” I get and donate it all by the first week of September (and posting proof).

All I need for the doodle is for you to send me a picture of what you want me to chibi-fy (no NSFW please). This way I can work faster and regardless of whether I’m familiar with the fandom or not (it also allows me to draw anyone). But my current fandom is Blindspot and can probably draw something without you sending a photo for reference (but is preferred).

How it works:

1) You send me the photo you want me to draw to [email protected], in case there are more than one person in the photo, please specify if you want me to draw them all, just one, etc.

2) I approve your photo and send you the total (in case it’s more than 1 person/character).

3) You make the donation and send me proof (or send the money to my paypal).

4) I’ll make the doodle asap (a week tops) and will post on tumblr and tag you or I’ll email the image to you if it’s a personal photo.

If there are any question you have feel free to reply to this post or send me an ask. Reblogs for signal boosting are very welcome as well.

If you want a fancier drawing, feel free to take a look at my fanart and I can give you a price for an inked/colored/more detailed drawing so you can donate & get that instead. (I’m charging way less than I usually would because it’s for a cause.)

Thanks for reading and let me know if you’re interested!

PSA

theres a new product by verzion called “hum” that allows your parents to track your car and places you go, if your parents are controlling like mine please check under your steering wheel to make sure that they havent installed this

[selfcarereminders]

here is what it looks like installed:

you can read more about it here, and here- this excerpt sums up what information Hum will send: 

“a car’s owner will be able to get notified on their phone when the vehicle leaves a pre-determined area or drives faster than a set speed… [Hum] will enable location tracking and a driving log, which measures travel times, engine idle times, and average speeds.” 

[misangremellama]

People in abusive relationships, please check your cars.

DO NOT TRY TO UNPLUG IT BY YOURSELF!

[tassiekitty]

To add to this nightmare, I’ve just heard of a thing called ForceField where people get to monitor and block internet sites that you’re going on if they don’t approve.

It tells the user what sites/apps you’re going on, for how long you’re on them, and WHERE YOU ARE ON AN UPDATING MAP.

So you know if you’re in an abusive household and use sites like tumblr to escape and talk to friends, you could be cut off from that.

They say “it’s not spyware” but it sure sounds controlling and creepy to me.

[everywitchway-deactivated201905]

Life 360 is another tracker. My parents have used it on me, not allowing me to delete it from my phone, and sometimes even demanding selfies to prove I was where the map said. (As if I’d go anywhere without my phone)

[beerune]

SpectorPro is another one. Afaik it can’t track location, but it takes screenshots roughly every 20sec to allow the installer to watch a video of your computer activity. It also tracks all keystrokes, so passwords aren’t safe, and records any website you visit + the duration. It’s incredibly creepy and a huge violation of privacy, and was one of the cornerstones of my abuse as a kid.

even if you’re not in an abusive relationship/family, please spread this because you might have just saved someone’s life

Let me tell you about my panda mini-washer

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver

The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use. 

It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way. 

Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.

Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer. 

That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%. 

The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry. 

I’m not great at expressing emotion, but I’m hoping you can tell how excited I am.  Let me just say that the panda mini-washer is great and I highly recommend it to anyone currently using a Laundromat.  

[ihatethebitchwhorunsthisblog-de]

Read this and immediately bought it on Amazon for $180. I spend $15 a week to have my laundry done so this pays for itself in 3 months for me. THANK YOU JESUS.

[pseudocoding]

Oh by the way, they have table top dishwashers that are pretty much the same thing:

[breelandwalker]

This is one of the biggest technological breakthroughs for the everyday homeowner in the current decade: the realization that refrigerators aren’t the only things that can be miniaturized for better affordability and minimal space requirements.

Can you IMAGINE how this is going to change the lives of college students and apartment-dwellers? Or anyone with a lower income who can’t afford a place with “luxury” appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines?

There’s an even cheaper option called the Wonder Wash where you tumble the thing yourself and you’ll have to line-dry the clothes, but it apparently works very well.

As an apartment dweller, I want to spread this.

S12 B&B + husband/wife

[itsfunnycozitsawkward]

The reason Temperance Brennan is so important to me.

As asexual, anxiety suffering, Introvert, building meaningful relationships that go deeper than just common interests isn’t something that comes easily and even though as far as personalities go, I am different from Temperance, emotionally I can definitely relate.

I spent my childhood & teenage years being bullied & abused by those around me that I learned to shut myself off from everybody and all emotions. It wasn’t until I was almost 20 that I was even able to cry about certain things (When the most important person in my life died, I never even cried). Much like Brennan, I closed myself off to protect myself. Even now, at 26, I still struggle to open up and talk about anything but I have definitely come a long way from the person I use to be. Brennan talks about the fact that she was once an impervious substance, who is changing into a strong substance & to be with Booth she wants to lose the last of her imperviousness. I can only hope that one day I find someone as patient as Booth, who is willing to allow me to grow enough that I could be open to being with them. Being Ace doesn’t help the situation because it severely limits my options, then throwing anxiety & introverted into the mix just helps creates the chronic single status I’ve lived with my entire live. But even though I’ve convinced everybody around me (most of which don’t know about being Ace or even suffering from Anxiety) that I prefer to be alone and that I don’t care if I stay this way forever, I really do hope to find someone who can love me with as much depth as Booth loves Brennan.

Being able to spend 12 seasons watching the journey of someone like Temperance Brennan slowly but surely opening herself up to her own emotions and to those around her with the influence of both Booth & Angela is very reassuring. And trust me when I say, some moments of Bones truely had me a blubbering a mess… namely the final scene of The Parts in the Sum of the Whole where she’s just so scared and convinced she isn’t good enough for Booth. This kind of journey is rarely seen on TV or on film. And if there is someone I can some what relate to, they either don’t change or dramatically change. I appreciate the writers care & truth to the character that they spent the entire series showing the growth of the character (As if they knew they’d have the time to do it properly). Plus Emily Deschanel’s skills an actress shine when bringing this very complicated character to life. Even the small things, the gestures, the way she walks and talks, all bring authenticity to Temperance Brennan. This is why I am so grateful that both the TV show Bones & the character Temperance Brennan exist. I could talk forever about the things I love about this show and this character, but this is the most important part & the reason why I spent every waking hour for 5 weeks watching this, I just couldn’t get enough. (Some nights barely even sleeping)

Thank you to everyone involved in Bones. Thank you for existing.

If anyone feels the same or has a story to tell about this show, I’d love to hear it. Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings.

Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.

Happy International Women’s Day!

[coffee-alien]

“Imagine having a child that refuses to hug you or even look you in the eyes”

Imagine being shamed, as a child, for not showing affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being forced, as a child, to show affection in a way that is unnatural or even painful for you. Imagine being told, as a child, that your ways of expressing affection weren’t good enough. Imagine being taught, as a child, to associate physical affection with pain and coercion.

[samayla]

As a preschool special ed para, this is very important to me. All my kids have their own ways of showing affection that are just as meaningful to them as a hug or eye contact is to you or me. 

One gently squeezes my hand between both of his palms as he says “squish.” I reciprocate. When he looks like he’s feeling sad or lost, I ask if I can squish him, and he will show me where I can squish him. Sometimes it’s almost like a hug, but most of the time, it’s just a hand or an arm I press between my palms. Then he squishes my hand in return, says “squish,” and moves on. He will come ask for squishes now, when he recognizes that he needs them.

Another boy smiles and sticks his chin out at me, and if he’s really excited, he’ll lean his whole body toward me. The first time he finally won a game at circle time, he got so excited he even ran over and bumped chins with me. He now does it when he sees me outside of school too. I stick out my chin to acknowledge him, and he grins and runs over and I lean down for a chin bump.

Yet another child swings my hand really fast. At a time when another child would be seeking a hug, she stands beside me and holds my hand, and swings it back and forth, with a smile if I’m lucky. The look on her face when I initiate the hand swinging is priceless.

Another one bumps his hip against mine when he walks by in the hallway or on the playground, or when he gets up after I’m done working with him. No eye contact, no words, but he goes out of his way to “crash” into me, and I tell him that it’s good to see him. He now loves to crash into me when I’m least expecting it. He doesn’t want anything, really. Just a bump to say “Hi, I appreciate you’re here.” And when he’s upset and we have to take a break, I’ll bump him, ask if he needs to take a walk, and we just go wander for a bit and discuss whatever’s wrong, and he’s practically glued to my side. Then one more bump before we go back into the room to face the problem.

Moral of the story is, alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as traditional affection. Reciprocating alternative affection is just as valid and vitally important as returning a hug. That is how you build connections with these children. 

[brighteyedbadwolf]

This is so goddamn important.

I verbally express affection. A LOT.

My husband… doesn’t. I don’t know why. For the longest time part of me wondered if it meant he loved me less.

At some point I told him about a thing I had done as a kid. Holding hands, three squeezes means ‘I Love You’.

Suddenly he’s telling me I Love You all the time.

Holding my hand, obviously, but also randomly.

taptaptap

on my hand, my shoulder, my butt, my knee, whatever body part is closest to him, with whatever part of him is closest to me

All the time.

More often than I ever verbally said it.

It’s an ingrained signal now, I can tap three times on whatever part of him, and get three taps back in his sleep. Apparently I do the same.

It’s made a huge difference for us.

People say things differently.
