reminder to check your narcan/naloxone and make sure it’s not expired!

and get your hands on a new one if it is!

i don’t know what might happen to federal/state narcan program funding in the next administration so if you’ve been considering, now is the time to pull the trigger

I think women probably want to pee in public about as often as men, but it's much harder to pee discreetly with a vulva, so the urgency with which a woman would need to have to pee to be worth risking doing so in public is much higher. Thus and so, they end up simply holding it more often.

the kids purposely getting steve a mother's day card and hiding it for a month so that when father's day comes around they cross out mother and write father

and steve understands that it's supposed to be a joke at his expense but he still walks around with a lump in his throat all day because he's "done so many things wrong" and "fucked so many things up" but these kids love him and trust him and that's "at least one thing he's done right"

(not to mention the fact that he loves them too, obviously)

Hi! I was wondering if you would be selling prints of the lab Miku you just posted? I would love to buy one when my next paycheck comes in. As a cellular therapy tech I'm in love <3 If it's just for fun I totally understand!

it's just for fun, i've never actually sold prints, but you're welcome to take the image to somewhere like UPS or i think staples too and get them to print it for you if you'd like ! their stuff isnt super high quality or anything but it's nicer than a home printer and pretty cheap, too

#this is why you don't buy shit on credit #the likelihood of it financially destroying you is high

I'm sorry, but that is absolutely the wrong take in response to this.

Buying on credit is not the problem; in fact, in many cases, it's the only way to do something. Think about buying a house; most people don't exactly have the cash to buy outright! Oftentimes buying a car, or furniture, is the same kettle of fish. Heck, that's how I bought my furniture! 12-months no interest, yes please!

The problem comes when you lose track of how much you have bought on credit--and you can lose track of how much you've bought just as easily with a checkbook as you can with a credit card or loans.

When I bought my furniture on 12-month no-interest financing, I made damn sure that I wasn't committing to more than I knew I could pay in a month, and I kept track to make sure that I had it paid off before the promotional period ended. And look! No problems!

The people the above person is talking about have purchased much, much more than they can conceivably pay off independently. That is the issue with that scenario. They've spent more on transportation than I spent on my house, given the economic bracket he's describing they probably spent a minimum of $350k on the house and that's in my incredibly low cost-of-living area--on the coasts who knows how much it would be--and they have more on their credit cards than I spent on my car.

So yes, they have a problem with finances--but the problem isn't the existence of credit. The problem is the absence of accountability. After all, I, too, have a car loan, a house loan, and credit cards; the difference is, I live within my means.

headcanon that stan hates wearing glasses (for many reasons) and went without them for years until he really needed them

A younger Stan squints at his blurry reflection in the mirror, leaning in really close to see himself clearly. He sighs and grabs a pair of Ford's glasses on the dresser. Putting them on, he stares at his reflection. "Welp," he says, "this is unsettling."

He turns away from the mirror to adjust his tie, saying, "But it can't be helped." His reflection is now a disheveled Ford, mirroring Stan.

I'm betting rotisserie chicken was just used as an example here, but where it's not on EBT, I bet this is intentional. Grocery chains usually underprice rotisserie chicken deliberately as a way to get folks in the door and purchase lots of more expensive itrms. It's possible that retailers may intentionally be acting to dissuade folks using EBT by making inaccessible an item they sell at a loss in order to encourage sales of other products. I.e., this may be a deliberately discriminatory practice.

You should be allowed to buy a hot, rotisserie chicken from the grocery store with EBT. You should be allowed to buy toothpaste and toilet paper. You should be allowed to buy otc medications. EBT should be expanded to include all basic necessities and be increased to match.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.
