You Support Palestine Over Israel? Ew

things i wish i had known when i escaped my family household and couldn't ask my parents for help

invest in a good mattress early on. there are many other ends you can save on - sleep is not one of them. this is key to how much energy you'll have throughout the day

you don't need a bedframe but you do need a slatted bed base (even if it's just pallets)

opening a bank account is easy

there's youtube tutorials for everything. how to install your washing machine, how to use tools, fixing stuff around the place. channels like dad, how do i? are a godsend

change energy provider as soon as your old deal runs out. you'll get better offers elsewhere and avoid price gouging

assemble a basic first aid kid at home: painkillers, probiotics, alcohol wipes, bandages, tweezers, antihistamine tablets - anything you might need in a pinch

and an emergency toolkit: flashlight, extra batteries, a utility knife, an adjustable wrench, multi-tool, duct tape

set your fridge to the lowest temperature it can go. the energy consumption is minimal in difference and it'll give you +4/7 days on most foods

off-brand products are almost always the same in quality and taste, if not better, for half the price

coupons will save you a lot of money in the long run

there's no reason to be shy around employees at the bank/laundromat/store; most people will be happy to help

vegetarian diets are generally cheap if you make food from scratch

breakfast is as important as they say

keep track of your budget in a notebook or excel file - e.g. rent, phone and internet bills, food, leisure so you'll have an overlook on your spending over the months

don't gamble

piracy is okay

stealing from big stores and chains is also ethically okay

keep medical bills and pharmacy receipts for tax returns

also, file your tax returns early

take up a hobby that isn't in front of a screen. pottery, music, going for a run every now and then, stuff that'll keep you busy and sane

and most importantly... you're allowed to get the stuff you want. treat yourself to the occasional mundane thing. a good scented candle. a bath bomb. that body lotion that makes you feel like royalty. the good coffee beans.

you're free and you deserve to be happy.

who is telling men that having gray in their hair is ugly. why are they fucking lying

LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS STOP REBLOGGING THIS FUCKING GARBAGE POST. IT IS 100% FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CAN AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL LITERALLY KILL. DO YOU NOT SEE WARNING LABELS THAT SAY “DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING”? THEY AREN’T FUCKING AROUND. YOU CAN FUCKING BURN THEIR ESOPHAGUS BY CAUSING VOMITING, CAUSE CHOKING, DROWNING, OR MAKE IT WORSE! AGAIN DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING DOWN ANYONE’S THROAT. THEY. CAN. DROWN. IF SOMEONE IS LOSING CONCIOUSNESS ALL THE CHIT CHAT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT PREVENT IT AT THAT POINT THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER. “Buuut i don’t wanna take them to the hospital!!!” WELL SUNSHINE GLAD YOU’D RATHER HAVE A DEAD FRIEND THAN A LIVING ONE BUT YOU’RE IN LUCK CALL FUCKING POISON CONTROL. THEY ARE NOT THE COPS. THEY WILL HELP YOU. AND IF THEY SAY GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL YOU GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. NO EXCUSES. 0. NONE. I have seen this shit cross my dash SO MANY TIMES so PLEASE fucking reblog this and prevent some well meaning idiot from accidentally killing someone they love!

1. Good to see you again! OwO♥️

2. How have you been?

hello! i've been alright, suffering from severe writers block, but i'm alright! thank you for asking! how are you?

I don't normally post about politics but here goes nothing.

If you voted for trump, man or woman, I want you to read as follows

I want you to understand how thoroughly you fucked everyone over. I want you to look at your children in the eyes and tell me if there is anything more than innocence or resentment.

If you have a mother, I want you to look her in the eyes. I want you to tell her that she'll be stripped away of her rights and she doesn't get a say in what happens to her anymore.

If you have a daughter, I want you to look at your babygirl and explain that there's nothing you can really do if anything happens to her. I want you to tell her that a gun meant more than her in your vote.

If you have a wife, I want you to look at her and see the fear in her eyes knowing that she is married to someone who couldn't care less about her rights and views her as property. I want you to try and tell her that you love her and see her struggle to respond.

I want you to sit down with your children and have to hold back tears while teaching them how to have even a small chance at surviving a school shooting.

I want you to look at the couples in your life that are not stable enough for a child and have to tell them that if they get pregnant by mistake they'll have to suck it up.

I want you to look at the women in your life and tell them that if they're raped and unfortunately get pregnant, that they'll have to go through that hell all over again.

I want you to go to a book store and see all the books you've ever loved disappear. I want you to look for The Holy Bible and be unable to find it when it's banned.

I want you to think back to the book Fahrenheit 451 and it's story. I want you to understand that this is the reality you want us to live through but worse.

I want you to look at the people in your life and have to explain to them that you're sorry. Women, people of color, gays, trans, etc.

I want you to look at future generations who never get to experience the same rights as you were blessed to have before and I want you to say you're sorry.

I mean hey,

Was it worth it??

Was it worth getting your guns back and "voting for your pockets"??

Was it worth the people who killed themselves out of fear?

Was it worth having the women in your life be told "your body, my choice"?

I hope it was.

I want you to remember what your choice was.

hiiiii! since ur looking for sk8 the infinity requests and u seem to really like joe, how would joe react to an s/o who is short and not very physically strong. they're a bit on the chubby side too. if u want, u can add that they can skate?

Yippee!!! First sk8 request!!

...I got a little carried away, so I went a bit off topic at times......

I love him so much......

Cut it off a bit early due to the length, if I wrote any more I wouldn't be able to stop. So, this is what you're getting 😭

@i-am-thoroughly-confused this is your fault

Warnings ;; None, just Kojiro being silly and domestic

Relationship ;; Romantic

Type ;; Headcanons

Joe ;; Kojiro Nanjo

Kojiro is definitely willing to help you do anything that's physically demanding.

That includes: opening jars, opening the door for you, opening the car door, carrying you as he skates, even if you're capable of skating yourself.

Yes, he'll do basically anything you'd like him to do.

Make you an Italian dinner? ...he owns an Italian restaurant.

Make you any dinner in general? He's a cook.

Teach you how to skate, or teach you new tricks? He's known as Joe in S for a reason.

He's a very attached partner, no matter how chubby or skinny you happen to be. He's got enough muscle for both of you. Plus.. a lot more.

Because of the more parts to love, he's a bit.. grabby, to put it simply. He's not afraid of other people seeing, and he's perfectly willing to show you off to Kaoru... and literally everyone else under the sun.

In private, even if he's still a bit touchy, he's very gentle. Despite being incredibly strong, he does know the extent of his own strength.

Good luck getting out of his grip in the morning, the arm around you is tight and unmovable, at least until he wakes up.

He won't judge you for your lack of strength, but he will poke at your height every single chance he gets.

If you show even a small bit of dislike for it, he'll stop, as soon as he notices.

If you're in a genuine relationship with him, he seems like a genuinely different person, but it's clear he's still the same buff gorilla you fell in love with.

If you know about his skating in S, he'll invite you to every match.

If you're a skater in S yourself, he's at every match, even if he has women all over him, he's focusing on you the entire time.

hi everyone i hope y'all doing alright < 3 (june 2024)

as many of you know I'm going through some tough times dealing with benzodiazepine withdrawals and depression. leaving benzodiazepine and stop taking them It's not easy, but I'm working on it. i'm highly medicated because of my mental illness (i take anti psychotics, antidepressants and more).

i have to mention too i have been out of meds since saturday

i've felt very demoralized by asking for help on here but i've talked with some friends and some of you said it wasn't a problem and it was okay to ask for help

If you're willing and able any support would help cover my medication i fully appreciate it if you can’t that’s okay sharing my post helps a lot. if someone knows about any jobs online please let me know, i'm willing to work whatever
