wait why is u-hauling bad??
i understand the urge to u-haul because it's so fun and romantic and exhilarating to want to rush into living together with someone, but the sooner that you rush into a very serious, very committed (leases last a whole year!), emotionally and materially embroiled cohabitating relationship with someone, the less time and remove that you're giving yourself to actually learn about who they are and how they live and how they may act in certain situations or with certain people, which is all very vital information to have before you decide to orient your entire life around them. many people want to skip the "getting to know each other" step and just swear deeply devoted and gushingly romantic total fealty to each other as soon as possible because that's soooooo hot and exciting, but it should be noted that lesbians are not just stereotyped for u-hauling but also stereotyped for having the most apocalyptic break-ups imaginable, and in my view, these two things are deeply correlated!
of course with so many girls coming from shitty home situations, moving in with someone (such as a romantic partner) recklessly may be the only real way out. and i have immense sympathy for that, and the only real solution is free and universal housing for everyone, but in the meantime anybody taking this route really ought to think through at least some safeguards to prevent absolute powder keg codependency situations, because going from the frying pan and into the fire isn't exactly ideal. i mean, maybe it'll work out! maybe! but you have got to understand that it's very steep gamble!

It feels like getting pulled underwater—the sharp sideways tug, the slight drag of resistance, then falling, falling, till the waves close over his head. But Logan can breathe when he rights himself again, even if the light has a watery filter to it and the voices have a distant echo.
//
Sometimes Logan gets a glimpse of guys who've been long gone from the teal, clustered at the far end of the bench or sitting in the box across the ice. He heard Jason's voice in the hallway loud and clear, that infectious laugh. And he could have sworn he saw Raffi fucking Torres getting out of a car in the players' lot. Something tells him not to look up the rosters.
Commissioned @impmakesart to make a painting based on the Sharks' Cali Fin hype reel + the flip side by frausorge. Imp was amazing to work with and I could not be more emotional about this piece and so, so pleased with how it turned out!! 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️ Commission him here. Thank you Imp!

Hello, bitches! I don't think I saw this in the renter's master post, but how does one go about breaking a lease in the least financially ruinous way possible? My apartment flooded for the 3rd time in 12 months due to an improper drainage system, and I am FED UP. I have family telling me to sue over it, but I'd be content if they let me break the lease without fees or penalties.
If your apartment keeps flooding and your landlord has not fixed the problem... then your LANDLORD HAS ALREADY BROKEN YOUR LEASE.
A lease is a legal contract. Which means the landlord AND tenant both have responsibilities in order to keep the contract valid. There is usually language in there about the landlord keeping the unit in good maintenance. Constant flooding is NOT good maintenance. And if your property has been damaged by the flooding, the landlord could actually owe YOU, either for temporary housing or replacement of property.
So go read your lease, find the clause about maintenance, and take it to your landlord and say "According to this clause right here, you're in violation of our rental agreement. Therefore, I am moving out without penalty. If you'd like to discuss this, I'll have my lawyer get in touch." (Note: not everyone can afford a lawyer, but if you know anyone even tangentially related to a law firm, use the line about the lawyer. My husband's uncle and aunt are lawyers and the one time I used this line to resolve a labor dispute, it scared the bastard so much that they stopped their bullshit and paid me for my work with no further argument.)
Lastly: we are not infallible. Your state government website should have a section on tenant's rights. Look up this information to see if there are any other protections you can take advantage of before going nuclear on your shitty landlord.

URGENT MUTUAL AID‼️⚠️PLEASE HELP A DISABLED TRANSGENDER LATINO MAINTAIN HOUSING⚠️‼️
remaking an old post of mine from a different blog because this one has way more followers and I am in an extremely desperate situation.
my work situation still has not improved, I’m only earning about 440$ a month, which is about half what I need to pay rent, bills and take care of me and my cats. I may lose my apartment come april and have no place to live, especially if I can’t make up my late rent for this month and the next until then.
I need 212$ to cover rent for January, and once February comes around I’ll be short at least 470$, possibly more due to bills.
There are a few ways you can help me:
SHARING THIS POST. regardless of what you are able to do, PLEASE PLEASE share this post and spread the word. I am DESPERATE in need of help.
Donating to my GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/1edd7f44
Sending money to my c*shapp or v*nmo ( both usernames are deadmallgoth )
Hiring me for Graphic Design work ( I am a part time Graphic Designer also looking to get into Freelance work, if you need any kind of graphics for whatever reason please feel free to email me at
[email protected] and I can share examples of my work and discuss price. )

Just a heads up, I'm probably gonna be a little quieter/less active for a bit. Just found out my lease isn't getting renewed so I have to find a new place by the end of August, so that whole process is gonna be taking up a lot of my time and energy 🙃
