holy shit y’all should watch this one, what an admirable person
This might suck to hear, but if you're a people pleaser that is motivated by praise and avoids disagreements, you are easy to manipulate.
When I was in therapy after surviving years of domestic violence, my therapist had to tell me that my personality was primed for abuse and we needed to work on that so I would be better equipped to see the red flags and respond appropriately in the future.
I'm still working on this, and it's been 8 years. If you tell someone how you want to be treated, what behaviors you don't tolerate in your life, what you're looking for in that relationship, and they react negatively, don't compromise yourself. Just move on.
This one's for all the praise-kink girlies: differentiate, self-actualize, stay sexy
Don't forget, Trump was the one who tried to ban TikTok in his first term, and Republicans voted to pass the TikTok Ban Bill.
He didn't save it. He just flipflopped when he realised it made him look bad with young people.
And now TikTok are sucking up to Trump and effectively acting as an ad section for him.
Don't fall for it.
In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
hey guys. earlier today my mom and dog (Samson) were attacked by someone's off leash dog at the park. My mom had to physically wrestle the other dog off of Samson and as such got banged up. she's already gone to the emergency room and cleaned up with shots and shit so she'll be alright, thankfully. We're at the emergency vet with Samson right now.
She managed to get the dog owner's license plate and we're going to file a report to have him pay the bills for this but who knows how successful we'll be or how long it will take.
My mother is already homeless living out of her car and she can't afford to be saddled with bills like this and I don't have a consistent enough income to offer her nearly enough support on this, so I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help.
I can't open my commissions yet so I have nothing to offer immediately but I'll open requests when I get home and at least see if I can get some small prompt oneshots out in thanks.
I'll update this when we know for sure how much it'll be costing us and just to update you guys in general on the situation. Thankfully Samson is doing alright as of right now (we got the bleeding to stop) and is just trying to rest until the vet tells us what happens from here.
I know times are rough right now so I'm not expecting everyone to give and I completely understand if you can't. Please don't donate if it would put you at risk or if you need the money yourself. I'm only asking for spare change, here. I don't want to put anyone in a bad spot.
Either way, thank you for your support, be it financial or just in general. This happening so soon after having to put our other dog down is obviously putting enormous strain on everyone. With any luck we'll get out of here soon with an affordable bill and a healthy dog.
Thank you thank you thank you
musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
