If you're in Australia you'll already know this, but for our international readers, basically the whole of Australia ground to a halt today because one of our two mobile/internet networks - Optus - just completely shat its dacks for about 9 hours, taking out the country's phones, internet and banking.
The funniest part though, is that apparently when the national broadcaster tried to reach out to find out what was going on - they discovered the quite forseeable problem that everyone at Optus used Optus for their phone and internet, so there was basically no way for their company to contact anyone inside or outside the company to work out what was going on or to try and fix it.
What a country.
I’m not even remotely sorry for this content 3/?
(I know I did this one before but I will do it with every ship if I want to)
In my humble opinion
Harry Potter au where Neville’s the chosen one and Dean and Seamus are his sidekicks who fall in love
did you know there are bisexual flowers and they’re perfect
lemme tell you i am so fucking tired of angsty vampires. its enough.
give me a newly-turned twenty-something vampire who hears about their newfound immortality and is like “thank god,” then proceeds to invest in some promising startups and fucks off to take a nap for two decades
give me a vampire thats only the tiniest bit phased at the blood diet because “eh, i tried paleo a while back and it was just as weird”
give me a vampire with self image issues who never has to avoid mirrors again because - bingo - no reflection
give me a genderqueer vampire who finally has an answer when someone asks their gender. “are you a boy or a girl?” “i am a vampire.” “but whats in your pants?” “fangs.”
best of all, give me a vampire chick who is so stoked about being nocturnal because she’s never been able to walk alone after dark before and it’s nice to be able to walk her friends home and know theyre all safe with her
Happy pansexual awareness and visibility day, i hope every pan person has a great day today.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
Trans woman needs help to leave an abusive home!
My name is Sara and I'm a 19 year old trans woman in need of serious help.
I've been mentally and physically abused all my life by my parents and brother and that continues to this day. I'm trapped and afraid for my life. I can't take it anymore. I've been suicidal since I were a child and it's becoming too much to handle. I can't take this for who knows how many more years, I seriously can't. I feel so miserable living in these conditions and the dysphoria is intolerable. I can't do anything about it whatsoever because my parents are heavily against the lgbtq+ people. It makes me even more suicidal. I'm miserable and desperate.
My parents are keeping me dependent on them and not allowing me to work, making it impossible to escape. I did find an online job but my parents found out I was working in secret and made me quit. This has also made the home situation even worse :( I'm too scared to try to find anything else, especially non online because of the abuse that will follow. I can't do something like that in secret and I can't take the pain again.
For now I just need the money to guarantee my physical and mental safety: to move out to another city and be able to pay rent and food for a couple of months so I can find a job that pays enough to not end up homeless. I also need money for driving lessons and a cheap car so I'm not tied to one place and can go to work if it happens to be a non walkable distance away. Later I'd like to start therapy and transitioning but that's the lowest on my priority list right now, as survival's most important :(
I'm estimating it to come out like this:
- Rent and food for 2 months: ~$2800
- Driving lessons and a cheap car: ~$2100
- Transport to another city: ~$50
Total: ~$4950
I understand these are hard times and not everyone will be in the position to help me out and that's alright. I'm really sorry for having to ask like this :( I just don't know what to do anymore.
Unfortunately my parents have a hold of my paypal, so I set up a kofi with my friend's paypal so all donations go to her and then she will give them to me. I don't know how paypal donations work and don't wanna trouble my friend too much as even giving me her paypal email was a lot to ask for. Please consider donating on kofi ❤️
episode 8 looks awesome tbh
