okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post

image

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment

likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post

i need all the help i can get for finals

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

You know what I could use some luck

Oh apparently badjokesbyjeff and writing-prompt-s is doubling down on the slander and also talking to genocidal zionist prismatic-bell at the same time.

He made a pinned post where he just ‘doubts’ my methods and attempts to call me a liar. Then he anachronistically accuses me of being incorrect with my vetting. His logic? He was looking at the result of updated information from a day ago and then accusing it of being wrong because I had been alerted to and discussed the suspicious behaviour back on the 2nd of August. The entire timeline is in the red link on my pinned post but this fucker will do anything but admit he was wrong.

If Basel clicked on a weird link on a website he’s not familiar with and got hacked and his blog acted out and put me in a difficult situation where I had to revet his cousin and then him; well that’s apparently too hard to believe he’s actually a porn bot guys!!!

I haven’t told him to kill himself like he accused me of doing in the pinned post and I’m fairly certain you can all see that on my blog lmao. But anything to play the victim of a hate campaign YOU started against Palestinians.

I’m serious. Block him and his 2 blogs.

So he made an insinuation that Ahmed Saad was a scammer and held a scam ring online in his post. Ahmed Saad was pelted with thousands of accusations and overwhelming harassment, which forced him to stop vetting and made him take a break from tumblr.

image

See the way he spoke to him? Well now he’s trying to get people to harass me.

image

The whole pinned post was just “Oh yeah? You think you can do this? Well a scammer can just circumvent that like this! Have you thought of that?” yes I have. What are the chances of someone having a Ghazzan phone number and speaking perfect Palestinian Arabic with the sound of quadcopters overhead not being in Ghazzah… seriously what is up with you people. And then it ends like that just so “If you think I’m right, good, if you think I’m wrong, you’re being scammed by these evil Palestinians.”

This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.

https://iradvocates.carrd.co

On chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.

But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.

I reblogged this last month, tagged it, and said “might as well see if it works.” I used this video as a reference to find all the forms that i needed (which is A LOT, especially if you’re a dependent) and sent them through the mail, not really allowing myself to hope.

dude.

COLD WEATHER TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES WHERE IT’S COLD:

I always see posts about layering clothing, but there are so many more creative ways to help keep you warm if you don’t have a lot of warm clothes. But first, a note on layering clothing:

-Your underlayer is your WICKING layer. That means it is a layer specifically to absorb the moisture your body produces. DO NOT USE COTTON AS A BOTTOM LAYER. Use merino wool if possible, but other good substitutions are nylon, polyester and rayon. 

-Your middle layer is for insulation. You want AIR POCKETS in there, NOT tight fitting clothes. This is where you want to put your fluffy sweaters, your fleece, down, fur, flannel, or vests. If you do not have these, you can substitute with multiple layers of long sleeve shirts.

-Your outer layer is for keeping the cold away from your body. If you do not have a jacket, you can put on your thickest piece of clothing and then a raincoat over it. Windbreaker if you have one. 

ALSO

-Jeans are the absolute worst at holding heat. Use only as a last resort. 

-You can’t really ever have too many layers on your feet. Alternate tucking your layers of pants into your layers of socks to keep your ankles warm!

-Wear a hat OVER a hood if it will fit! This will keep your ears warmest.

TAKE OFF/OUT ANY AND ALL JEWELERY/PIERCINGS

-If you have a medical bracelet, DO NOT REMOVE IT. If you can, tuck a layer of clothes between it and your skin.

NON-CLOTHING TIPS:

-Raid your recycling. Gather all cardboard boxes and break them down so that they are flat. Put them on the floor to add more layers between you and the cooling house. Newspaper will also serve the same purpose.

-In an emergency, you can also layer newspaper between clothing layers. Don’t worry about looking stupid if you’re staying warm.

-If you have a tent, set that sucker up in whatever room you have decided to stay in. Stay in it and keep it zipped shut as much as you can, but do NOT cover the vent at the top. You can put the rain fly up, but make sure there is circulating air for you to breathe.

-You are probably not going to feel very hungry at times. DO NOT STOP EATING OR DRINKING. Digestion produces a lot of body heat and the food will give your body energy to keep itself going.

-The best foods are heavy and full of carbs and proteins. Eat nuts, eggs, pasta, meats, and beans. If you are on a diet, now you’re not. If you’re vegetarian… bulk up on those pastas and nuts.

-Try not to sweat. If you are finding yourself getting damp, take off the outer layer just until you start to cool slightly. Then redress! Your bottom layer should dry quickly, and being wet is dangerous.

-On that note, STAY ACTIVE. You are probably going to want to hunker down and snuggle up, but that will make your muscles cramp. Every 15-20 minutes do something that gets you up and about. Walk circles in the room, do a couple jumping jacks, stretch, whatever. Just enough to move some blood around your body. Don’t get sweaty or out of breath, it’s just a little movement.

-CHAPSTICK. ON YOUR LIPS. ON YOUR NOSE. ON YOUR EARS. ON YOUR KNUCKLES. Don’t let your extremities get dry or cracked.

SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA:

-Uncontrollable shivering
-Slurred speech
-Confusion or memory loss
-Dizziness or lack of coordination
-Inability to be woken from sleep

CHILDREN AND INFANTS!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

-Children WILL get colder before you. Make sure they are properly bundled up.

-If you need to breastfeed, put a blanket over the both of you and wait a few minutes for the air to warm before removing or shifting your clothing.

-DO NOT COVER AN INFANTS FACE. ESPECIALLY WHEN SLEEPING. Keep them tucked inside your own clothes when possible. As close to your heart and stomach as possible. 

-Put chapstick on children’s cheeks and clean their face often if they are crying or wiping at their nose. This will prevent cracked skin and irritation.

-Make sure your children are staying as hydrated as you! They are going to fuss and not want to drink cold things, but they NEED liquids.

SIGNS OF HYPOTHERMIA IN INFANTS AND TODDLERS ARE DIFFERENT:

-Shortness of breath 
-Cold, red skin
-Lethargy or listlessness

Finally:

CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS. CHECK ON CHILDREN. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY. STAY SNUGGLED. STAY SAFE.

Have you been playing a lot of Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon lately? There’s a new farming sim in the works, created by an Indonesian company with more diverse gameplay!

Create your farm, romance the villagers, dive to save coral reefs, catch bugs and fish to put in the museum, attend mini games and festivals, and MEET MERMAIDS.

Let’s talk about Coral Island!


image

This Kickstarter has come a long way since it’s launch, and as of Feb. 15 it’s still got 15 days to reach it’s higher goals.


Or, DO YOU WANT TO DATE A MERMAID?


image
image

There are three mythical figures in this game, one of them being mermaids. We’ve finally unlocked the village, but if we unlock the kingdom there are two romance mermaid options.


image
image
image

But if mermaids don’t do it for you, the human options are just as sexy! (And yes, OF COURSE YOU CAN PICK ANY GENDER 🏳️‍🌈)


image

(and the normal townies aren’t bad looking either 👀)


image

Coral island can be a solo or multiplayer experience, and is planned to launch on switch and other consoles not long after early access in Q4!


image

By backing you get the game key for only $20, which is low for the amount of gameplay Coral Island has to offer!


image

Yes, that’s right! For the low amount of $20, you too can eventually date a mermaid! Consider pledging today!

This is the bare minimum of decent human behavior for ANY gender. If you are an adult and someone who is not an adult wants to have a relationship with you, it is your duty to, at bare minimum, turn them away.

and like… having crushes on adults is a Normal Adolescent Thing, but it doesn’t mean they’re ready for–or for that matter, want–an actual relationship with said adult. it’s a goddamn developmental phase for kids working out their sexuality, and treating it as a chance to get laid is fucking monstrous.

Recommended tactics to deal with a child hitting on you:

  • “kiddo”
  • “buddy”
  • inform a friend to ensure you’re never left alone with them
  • refer to own age in conversation
  • “yeah, I know I look young, but you wouldn’t BELIEVE how awkward it is being mistakenly hit on by a teenager!”

upon that child turning 18:

  • “Happy birthday, kiddo!”
  • “Have you registered to vote yet?”
  • “Man, being a baby adult was so hard, good luck with that”

And as a reminder, teenagers often have crushes on older and/or unavailable people like celebrities precisely because psychologically/emotionally they’re not ready to have a relationship. On a subconscious level, fantasizing about someone you know you can’t be with allows you to experiment with your emotions in a safe way. And obviously an adult taking advantage of that will disrupt the entire thing.

THE ONUS AND RESPONSIBILITY OF SELF-CONTROL IS ON YOU, ADULT.

NOT THE CHILD’S.

This is torture. Solitary confinement for kids.

[ID: a white person in a blue FBI t-shirt, with long blonde hair and pink eye makeup, with the TikTok handle @elysian_cosplay. They sign as they speak, throughout the video. At some points, images appear behind them, of sources for the things they are discussing.

The CCs say: “Hey, I want to cover something important. As some of y'all know, I am deeply engrained in the Deaf culture because I want to be an interpreter, and I have Deaf family. The world is slowly becoming more accessible, and I am proud of our progress.

However, I want to discuss this school. This is the Memphis Oral School for the Deaf. The school will be opening soon, but they do not let their students sign, they discourage it. And now they require masks, which means Lipreading is out the window.

This article [there is an article on screen behind them] points out that even without masks, teachers would often cover their mouths when they spoke. So they couldn’t lip read. Their reasoning? To ensure that their students were “listening with their EARS”. Read that again.

You’re taking away their [Deaf children’s] language, they are not being given Dynamic Equivalence. They have nothing. When are y'all gonna learn that Deaf kids don’t need to be fixed? Please spread for awareness.“

End ID]

This idea is from the 1800s. It is incredibly harmful and outdated and I cannot express enough how angry this makes me. No child should have their communication taken from them and if you are uneducated in deaf history I highly recommend it because this sort of oppression is a common theme.
