Fun reblog game: Reblog if you love being non-binary in any form! Yes I have much love for my binary friends but this one is for my other and neithers and all of the aboves and some of the aboves and sometimes and never and everything in between!!!!
Personally I love being non-binary. It fits me so well, I am just other and that's what I am! I don't have to to be one thing or another and I love it!
The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs Company (MCCPDC) is a registered pharmaceutical wholesaler and purchases drugs directly from manufacturers, bypassing middlemen to lower the price of more than 100 medications, it said in a statement.
For example, the leukemia drug imatinib is priced at $47 a month on MCCPDC compared to the $9,657 retail price.
MCCPDC CEO Alex Oshmyansky reached out to Cuban with an idea for a low-cost generic drug company in a cold email. It was launched in January last year. They were motivated in part by “Pharma Bro” Martin Shrkeli’s outrage-producing price hike of the lifesaving drug Daraprim from $13.50 to $750 per tablet while Shrkeli was CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals. Cuban told Forbes last year the pricing for generic drugs was “ridiculous.” He said he decided to put his name on the company to “show capitalism can be compassionate and to send the message I am all in.” It’s not clear how much he had invested in the company.

If you are American, PLEASE SUPPORT THE SSI RESTORATION ACT OF 2021
This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.
Among other things, it will:
Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.
Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.
Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)
Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.
REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.
REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN
For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.
Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.
Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.
These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.
If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!
TAKE MY QUIZ RIGHT NOW AND PUT YOUR RESULT IN THE TAGS
So like, Anne, Mary, and Sasha are often shown in their stone colors, right? Not really-
Heart=blue
Strength=pink
Wit=green
Obviously they wear their colors pretty often(for Sasha and Marcy its even their school uniform)But not always. Very often we see them in adjacent colors-
Sasha wears a lot of red(a more intense version of pink= a /lot/ of "strength") Marcy's Amphibia outfit has a ton of blue(she's following her heart more than her head) And Anne doesn't even wear blue that often- she wears a lot purple, including her school uniform(also in the intro she not wearing any blue, but her shirt has pink and her shoes have purple). Also, purple is a mix of blue and pink.
So what am I getting at? Well, think about the towers:
1st, we've got wit(green) which wasn't even about being as smart as possible but about having humility(heart)so- blue.
Then the 2nd, heart(blue), which again wasn't about having as much heart as possible but having responsibility(strength + heart), so- purple.
The 3rd, strength(pink), as we know, doesn't have the same rules as the other two- it IS about being as strong as possible, hence intense pink=red.
Of course there some important scenes we should take a look at, scenes where the girls(as a trio) wore their respective colors(or similar ones). To my memory that includes: the flashback to when they met, the dinner, and "No Big Deal".
Sasha is wearing pink!(and some blue) she's showing a classic strength but also is being pretty caring. Anne is in all purple, save for her yellow sneakers- she's heart and (emotional) strength through and through- which makes sense since she's really the linchpin to their whole group as we see in this flashback.
Marcy is wearing almost nothing but green- she doesn't really do that much(separate from Anne) but we can take this whole scene as a display of their dynamic so it makes sense for marcy to be all wit(she does have a pink bobble in her hair and blue crocs but regardless).
Next, the dinner:
Sasha is wearing a lot of, not pink, but red. The blue and green flower is literally over her heart- but its also completely surface level- she's got her "heart" visible but it could easily be removed(this fits how she acts in this episode pretty well).
Anne and Marcy are wearing adjacent colors as well, Anne is in purple and Marcy is in turquoise, Anne is pulled into a compromise with Sahsa this episode and has to put aside her heart to do so(see: Sasha not wanting to be a better person so Anne doesn't try to force it), Marcy also takes Annes side a few times, like pointing out why they stopping doing everything Sasha's way.
(What i get from their colors in this episode has more to do with their connections to eachother rather than to their stones-)
Now, battle of the bands:
This ones just before the finale so other symbolism is at play(see: butterflies, dragonflies, etc.) But this about their colors so-
Marcy is once again decked out in almost nothing but green except some purplish blush- she's not Marcy Wu, she's Marcy, Anne and Sasha's friend, just like in the flashback of when they all met Marcy mostly stays out of the spotlight and avoids playing middleman through out this whole episode.
Anne is in primarily blue! She shows a ton of heart but she really trys to have a freindship with Sasha, thus plenty of shades of purple are present(She also shows that emotional strength when she sticks up for herself against Sasha).
Finally, we've got Sasha, in, again, red. At the time she plans and puts on this outfit she's pretty firmly away from the other girls so, just like her armor, she wears red, black, etc.
All of this is purely me digging -randomly- into things that maybe aren't so deep for fun soooo, not an actual analysis or anything, but I'm still pretty happy with it-
Tell me if I missed any you think fit this!
Kid always looks both ways before crossing and tries to keep people out of the road... i- am sad.

Ok, but I am super jealous that you've got everyone fooled(idiots, lol) and I'm glad its not horrible!
And it is a pretty good prank- it's like that really old popular post: lesbian-ouge, you're like a spy!
yeah being out is cool and all but have you ever had to pretend that you feel better after your dad assures you there’s probably a load of guys just waiting to make a move
Dude, that freaking sucks, I'm sorry you have to deal with that shit

Haha, it's ok, he's not so bad, it just sucks when it does happen- I'm sure he's worse when I'm not around, so I'm actually pretty grateful for the things I /have/ heard him say, haha
"What, are you /queer/, now?"
-my dad, to my sister, less than 20 feet from me.
I am the /only/ queer person in the house.
I am the /only/ queer person in our imedient family.
He's didn't need to say it like.... That.
It wouldn't hurt so much if it hadn't been almost a year since the last time I heard say something anti-lgbt+ but it has been a while and I thought he might not say that- at least not in front of me.

Reminder that it really doesn’t matter what ways you’re marginalized, if you’re not black you’re just as capable of anti blackness as white cishet people. No amount of “but I’m gay!”, “but I’m trans!”, or “but I’m not white!” changes that.
And being neurodiverse/disabled isn’t an excuse for anti blackness either.
Day 4 of my painting kick-
(I don't know why Tumblr keeps rotating my photos and I don't know how to make it stop...)
Day 3 from this week's painting spree!
Sooo, this past week has been full of painting- specifically doing a painting everyday (take for yesterday-oops) this is from day 2!(day 1's painting was gifted to my friend)
Hell yeah!!
