Hello darlings! I could really use your help getting medical treatment 💗

I edited my fundraiser to reflect my current situation. I realized the root of my issues is Lyme, EBV, and Mold! I won't improve without treating those first. There's no insurance coverage for the specialists I need to see. Due to politics and lobbying. But getting medical care should NOT be political. And I absolutelyyy cannot put off care anymore. The last stage of Lyme is Lyme Carditis, which I've been showing signs of since January 2022. Absolutely not tryna die from a tick bite

Probably going to need to get own place. Broke up with my now ex, and he’s not really taking covid precautions now. Telling me covid is over. I already have lyme, EBV (a virus), several autoimmunes, a damn liver issue (not from drinking), etc etc. I need peace and stability and safety </3 Any help is appreciated

A friend got me sick and I’ve been on doctor ordered bed rest for almost 2 months. Unable to work. Would appreciate any help! I rely on art for income, so I don’t have PTO

My car also desperately needs repairs and I rely on it for transportation

🌸 Reblogs appreciated 🌸

DIY GUIDE TO KILLING OFF ALL BOREDOM Go outside. Scream your name into The Void. Sit in the sun and feel godlike. Go swim somewhere illegal. Cook a nine-course meal for your friends. Get drunk and cry. Throw up on public property and shout about Tolstoy. Ride a train. Ride a bus. Tell someone off. Smash something important. Climb a tree and read a book. WRITE a book. Be sweet to a baby and let them know that all big people aren’t a) dead inside, b) bored, or c) afraid of adventure. Make your own everything. Stay up all night and walk around the city alone. Learn that you can be a patriot for the land while still hating the government (be a patriot for the deserts, the plains, the mountains, the buffalo, for Woody Guthrie and Frederick Douglass, for 250 years of good books). Find the best genius, which is the genius that speaks plainly. Grow something from a seed. Talk to a dog. Go visit a friend and throw your knife into a river. Sing. Sleep in. Quit your job. Make a zine. Start a war within yourself. Break a law. Destroy all uncandid thought. Open your heart to the sky. Live.

Do yourself a favor and buy this zine.

Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots. ‘Cause it’s OK to be a boy. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading. ‘Cause you think that being a girl is degrading. But secretly, you’d love to know what it’s like… Wouldn’t you? What it feels like for a girl.

— Charlotte Gainsbourg

A company in Australia by the name of HommeMystere started making lingerie for men in April of 2013. In the beginning, they received a lot of negative publicity, mostly from women fearing their boyfriends or husbands would start wearing lingerie. So much for femininism… Now, they have consistently been making a small fortune and have become quite popular in the fashion capitals of the world. So far:

They have made two appearances at the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas.

They have gone public in the United States, France, Sweden, and Japan.

They have sold out of four lines of their clothing.

And they have reached one million veiws on their YouTube channel.

What is more, because they do not focus on the gay community, they haven’t put any barriers up against straight men who happen to make up the majority of their orders. If that is not success, I do not know what is. Cheers, HommeMystere.

Ching Shih was one of the most powerful pirates in history, terrorizing the China Sea in the early 19th century. Her fleet included more than 300 junks and 40,000 pirates. Though she challenged the Qing Dynasty and the great British and Portuguese empires, she remained undefeated and was one of the few pirates to ever retire from piracy.

18.05.2014 I learned yesterday that when you see a bee on the ground that isn’t moving, it’s not necessarily dead, it’s probably just dead tired from carrying lots of pollen and needs re-energising. So if you mix a tiny bit of water with some sugar and let it drink it will give it the boost it needs to continue on its way. Bizarrely, this exact thing happened today! I found a knackered bee, mixed up some sugar water, gave it a drink and watched it guzzle and guzzle then suddenly come back to life. It was amazing! Thank you patrick, it was an excellent tip that i’ll never forget and will continue to pass on to others!

Taking care of bees-ness!
