Hey, so I’ve talked to you guys about navigating debt collection and I’ve talk to you guys about how to get hospitals to forgive 100% of your medical debt, now I want to talk to you about dental care.
Dental care is something sorely lacking in the US because of the disparity and access. So here’s a few things I think you should know :

Regular cleanings and exams are a lot cheaper than you think. They are one of the most significant things you can do for your oral health to prevent you from developing tens of thousands of dollars worth of work later on. I see a very expensive private dentist that I have seen since I was like 12. His cleanings and exams are $165 without insurance. That for me is doable twice a year. And again he’s expensive. There are many dentist offices, who specifically work with low income patients who will do it for less than 100. 
This is the most significant thing you can do for your teeth twice a year. You have to find the money. Doing this will save you tens of thousands of dollars and potentially heartbreak and heartache regarding your teeth. 
2. Dental schools, dental schools dental schools. If you are in a situation where you do not have insurance and you need thousands of dollars of work done. I want you to find your nearest, and most reputable, school and go get the work you need done.
Dental schools can do pretty much all of the services that regular dentist do and are done under the supervision of dental professionals or done by those professionals themselves to teach their students.
The major con of dental tools is that they take a long time to get back to you. I personally would never have any sort of dental surgery personally unless I absolutely needed it. But they’re great places to get cavities and even root canals if you need them. Especially if you need dental implants. 
Sliding scales. Many dentist offices around the country specifically work with uninsured patients and will offer sliding scales based on your income. Particularly dentist offices that are attached to federal health centers. So look for those. 
The average filling is $150-$250. Not cheap but I promise you you’re gonna want to dig deep and find the money because a $250 filling can save you $2000 of dental work. And, if you go to a dental school, you can probably get them done for $95-$100. 
reading progressive sex ed caricatures with accurate and detailed and realistic diagrams of sexual organs + shows their variation, but all i can think about is how there is no discussion of what srs is besides the fact that it exists
Hi!! I love your art, and I was wondering if you have any advice for drawing things in perspective/foreshortening? I love how you draw your characters at different angles espec when they're doing an action, it just makes your art look so dynamic 😊
hopefully this helps!! ^^
the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
