Hello, I am moving apartments in August (trying to do the least expensive moving options and I'll be moving what I can with the help that I have but there are some pieces of furniture I have which are too heavy to move without professional help), I have several meds I need to refill, and I also need help with groceries. I anticipate needing $950 in assistance for this month. I am extremely appreciative of everything I receive, thank you so much! ❤️
Contrary to what some fanbois are saying, the F-35 *has* failed to do what it's supposed to. Price tag aside, it has turned out to be not that good a fighter, especially compared to the F-22. It has turned out not to be that maintainable, which was one of its main selling points. The F-16 refits did *not* cost 1.5x as much as a new F-35, and even if they had that would be irrelevant. Wasted money is still wasted money, even if there's other waste elsewhere.
I see people have already done the price and prep-time and local-availability comparisons. I'll add another: ecological footprint. You think the one on the right looks better from an environmental standpoint? Hm. I see produce from all four seasons there, which means more than half of it is being flown in from around the world. Flown, because fresh food spoils pretty quickly. And is that salmon pate? Oh my. There's nothing laudable about the one on the left, but the one on the right is pretty criminal too. *Real* healthy and sustainable eating uses local, in-season ingredients - not that mess. My own eating habits are absolutely terrible, but nobody should be getting on their high horse about anything in this picture.
#us coal mining is a fun bit of cultural connection with us over in wales#ultimately we both got fucked#and had to fight tooth and nail for unions#ironically thanks to tectonic plates we were essentially mining the same mountain range#thousands of miles apart#what you call blue ridge mountains#we call Yr wyddfa#west viginia and all the coal towns are siblings as far as im concerned#we were raised on the same stone#that makes us kin Via: @scottish-valkyrie
A lot of us actually have kin in Wales, as quite a few Welsh coal miners came to the Appalachian coal fields around the turn of teh 20th century.
I, for one, am the grandchild of a coal miner who was made in Wales, but born in America.
The social mirrors the geological. Much like the blue swoosh that connects rich soil to cotton to slavery to Democrat voters, the two coal-mining places used to be part of the Central Pangean Mountains.
I am not someone who watches a lot of YouTubers especially not a lot of original YouTubers but I do occasionally watch drama videos about people I have never watched because I'm a nosy bitch who likes gossip
But the Colleen Ballinger situation is so much more than drama. I've been following it since it blew up three weeks ago and here is the summary of the situation if you're interested
And that's where things stand rn
It's a fucking mess
I really feel for the victims especially Adam
The one good thing to come out of all of this is from my perspective is it has led to some very important conversations in my house with my teenager about parasocial relationships, internet safety, and appropriate boundaries
Colleen Ballinger singing a 10 minute ukulele song as a response to very serious and well documented grooming allegations is, extremely pathetic but I find it more disturbing than that. She is fully saying, this isn't serious, I won't take it seriously, neither should you. Which just makes it scarier for her younger impressionable fans who will stick by her even when everyone else doesn't. That is setting the stage to continue her inappropriate interactions with those fans if she's that depraved enough to continue after getting caught. and given her behavior to this point, I would not be surprised.
I have been trying to raise 400 for over a month now so that I can attend drivers ed. I am literally stuck in a very toxic household, barely able to leave the house dealing with constant anxiety and depression. I have been out of work for six months and no one will hire me bc I don’t have reliable transportation. I have overheard certain family members calling me out my name, calling me a burden every time that I have to be driven anywhere especially back to school since it’s 2 hours away and I’m just tired of it. I know that I won’t be able to afford a car anytime soon, but this is just one step forward to independence and honestly I just need to get out even if it’s just for a few days out of the week. I already missed the last deadline and lost my deposit and the next deadline is July 22nd. I’m embarrassed to even write this but I have 0 dollars at the moment after paying bills and buying food. Anything helps! Feel free to keep scrolling, I am not in any way forcing anyone to donate. At the very least reblog bc it goes a long way! <3

The tone difference in foraging guides between native plants and invasive plants is literally so funny to read
Terry imma need examples
Foraging guide entry on native plants: Make sure you only take a small amount from a well-established patch. Leave some for the wildlife, and yourself next year! Please get involved in land restoration programs to protect this plant for the future :)
Foraging guide entry for Japanese Knotweed: RIP RIP TEAR KILL REND
DESTROY

It’s similar for wildlife.
Brochure about native fish: Remember to only fish for approved species at the appropriate time of year and only with a license and correct fishing gear. These rules exist to make sure we don’t damage local fish populations and these amazing animals can be around for future generations!
Brochure about invasive lionfish: You can kill them with a SPEAR, you can kill them with a HOOK, you can kill them with your BARE HANDS (but watch out for the spines)…did we mention the flesh of this spicy devil fish is DELICIOUS?? Do your part for the environment and CONSUME THE PROBLEMSRIC LION OF THE SEA.

Hi, my name is Fern. I live in a state where abortion is illegal this is seriously a last resort for me so please share if you can't donate. my friend suggested twitter and tumblr since he's seen other people raise funds here.
Last week I made the difficult decision to leave an abusive relationship. I stayed longer than I should because of finances, but now I'm stuck with an unwanted pregnancy. I'm still in school and financially unable to support a child. I asked my parents for help but they are apposed to abortion and are recommending I carry to term but I'm not ready for that. I'm panicking and scared.
I really need help, mostly for getting to and from the nearest location that I can get a surgical abortion done, as it's already too late for me to try the pill method. I tried to do the pill method last week but I didn't make the appointment. At 10 weeks now I'm forced to have a surgical abortion and the nearest location is 4 and a half hours away.
I need help getting there and back since I don't have a reliable vehicle so I might need to pay a friend to drive me. I also need to pay for some of the cost of the abortion, which is around 700.
I will also be using the donations to get this procedure done, and paying for mscellaneous stuff like the gas money, drinks and food for the drive, an oil change probably, and post surgery healing items such as a heating pad, midol, comfort items, pads..
Thank you for taking the time to read this, this is incredibly urgent so please share if you can't donate.
