#big popular Tumblr user who has been 'about to be evicted next month' for over a year

[horce-divorce]

hiii we still just need $25 urgently, because we are OUT of the medication which keeps us both off of feeding tubes and out of the hospital

We have a little bit of money left, but not enough for a refill.

$25 is the bare minimum we need; $40 would be ideal-- but we NEED to go get some TODAY, and 25 is an easier goal to meet. so we will take absolutely whatever we can get. Even if you've only got 5 or 10 to spare that gets us a LOT closer than we were a minute prior 💖

Please reblog 🙏 I know everyone is struggling more and more, and this time of year is always especially tight, but a mere 25 bucks can literally help save the lives of 2 trans people right now and I'm not joking. I really wish I was.

my bday is on nov 15th!! 🎉 it would be ideal not to have to beg for my life for my bday gift, but alas, my bf and I are two homeless, disabled transmascs who have been trying to get back on our feet for over a year. especially in the shadow of the us election, our futures are very uncertain, but we are resolved to live + stay Out no matter what happens. theyre stuck here with us, too >:)

our short term goal is just to get enough $ to pay for meds and the phone bill, maybe $150- just enough to survive the month. I have a rare disorder that doctors refuse to treat, and my med regimen is just barely keeping me off a feeding tube and is ofc not covered by insurance

I don't have much on my WL right now, but being able to manage my pain would be nice <3 we live on less than $3 per person per day, so a little goes a long way for us!!! even $5 or $10 makes a huge difference!

[ 🫐 paypal ] will go further but we also have [ cshpp🐛 ] 💖✌️

Vaping Duckie’s Rantings and Ravings, Issue #1

WHAT'S IN THE NEWS, DUCKIE?!

BILL S-5 IN CANADA What will Bill S-5 do?

Make it illegal for vape shops to truthfully tell customers that vaping is less harmful than combustible cigarettes Allow Health Canada to regulate products in the future as it chooses — and this has already begun. The agency has announced that all vaping products that contain nicotine must have child-resistant caps, including tanks [see below] Eliminate many popular flavors by preventing manufacturers from honestly describing them. It bans flavor descriptions that indicate candy, dessert, and soft drink flavors, for example — and Health Canada will be free to amend the list at any time Probably lead to American tobacco companies moving in and taking over the bulk of the vaping market in Canada. Cigarette companies have the money, regulatory knowledge, and distribution power to overwhelm a small market (or a large one, for that matter!) Violate constitutional rights. Bill S-5 has been criticized by legal experts like the Canadian Constitution Foundation for violating constitutional rights of Canadian citizens

The bill’s purposes are stated clearly:

To protect young persons and non-users of tobacco products from inducements to use vaping products; To protect the health of young persons and non-users of tobacco products from exposure to and dependence on nicotine that could result from the use of vaping products; To protect the health of young persons by restricting access to vaping products; To prevent the public from being deceived or misled with respect to the health hazards of using vaping products; and To enhance public awareness of those hazards.

This is supposed to protect Kids, a lot like what Congress is trying to do in the US.

It's currently in the second reading in the house of commons in Canada.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has singled out the Juul Pod system as particularly dangerous, More so than ACTUAL SMOKING.  He is saying that ONE Juul pod has as much Nicotine as a FULL PACK OF CIGARETTES. That's insane. The amount of nicotine that is in the pod depends SOLELY on the amount of nicotine the person using said device uses. For me personally, It's between 1 and 4mg depending on my mood.  Before this, Sen. Schumer went after batteries, stating “Despite the explosions, no recalls have been issued.” What the Senator failed to realize or find through simple research was that the majority of "Vape Explosions" are a result of "User Error", such as having loose batteries in one's pockets with loose change or keys or improper charging. We in the vaping community have someone who stays on top of battery safety and always has up to date specs and warnings for any battery used for vaping. Check out Battery Mooch for more about batteries.

Johnson's Creek E-Liquid Company has gone out of business, and this is very sad news for the Vaping Industry as a whole. Johnson's Creek was the first E-Liquid producer established in the states, and between Direct to Consumer sales, Wholesale Bulk E-Liquid, and Distro to brick-and-mortar shops, at one point they were the second largest E-Liquid manufacturer in the world.

WHY DID THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS, DUCKIE?!

Well, The CEO stated earlier in the year they had major concerns aurrounding the Deeming Regulations being proposed by the Food and Drug Administration, sating that it could and likely WOULD put them out of business. The Regs state that each application, which cost $1 million, The company would have to pay $200 million if it submitted an application for every flavour that they made. The Village of Hartland agreed to step in and help by urging the FDA to rethink the regulations, but ultimately to no Avail.

Hartland Village Administrator David Cox said that while he believes that the prospect of the costly looming regulations did play a role in the company’s demise, a business deal gone wrong with tobacco and cigarette papers distributor Republic Tobacco, is what sealed their fate.

the CEO posted to twitter on Oct. 9 "Very sad to announce we are going out of business effective tomorrow", and sin a statement on their website they added: Johnson Creek will no longer be in business. I’m so very sorry that we’ve failed you.” Heidi Braun, CEO, Johnson Creek

You didn't fail us, Heidi.

So the Altria group is being forced to run Advertisements against Smoking. For those who don't know, the Altria group is the company that owns brands such as Phillip Morris, RJ Reynolds and Lorillard. This is the group that gives us Newport and Marlboro, basically.

In the court case which was initiated almost 20 years ago, the big tobacco companies were accused of releasing misleading adverts and implicated for the false health claims they made about cigarettes in the past. The TV segments will be between 30 and 45 seconds long and will feature mostly on  ABC, CBS and NBC for five days a week. The adverts will run for a total of 52 weeks, and will display court-mandated text accompanied by a voice narration.

“Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA intentionally designed cigarettes to make them more addictive,” will say one of the adverts, whilst another one will read : “More people die every year from smoking than from murder, AIDS, suicide, drugs, car crashes, and alcohol, combined.”

I'm not sure how effective these ads will be as Television is no longer the number one source of entertainment in the world, but I'm glad to see SOME action has been taken to make these companies own up to their mistakes.

now on to something a little less dour.

DUCKIE!! WHATCHU VAPIN' ON? Recently, I've been vaping on the Smok Alien 220 mod, and switching between both the Smok TFV8 Cloud Beast and a generic mini Velocity RDA I got from My friend Mitch.  I was vaping on the iPV5, but it's having some form of issue due to juice leaking into it. I AM a notorious over-dripper.

I also from time to time like to use my JAXBOX in single 18650 mode with my Cloud Champ RDA on it. It's fun for a little nostalgia.

HEY DUCKIE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, BRO?

Well.. That's a long answer. Let's see, I left off with Zamplebox unboxings and reviews. Well, I ran out of things to review and had an issue with Zamplebox where my box was over a month late, then I got the wrong box, then got my box AFTER getting the box for the next month, which was ALSO late. After that, I ended my membership. I then ran out of things to review, and then we were evicted from our house, and had to move. I briefly worked at STR8 VAPES in Ennis, and loved the hell out of that, and then we moved to a completely different town. My other job, being a rapper and producer(go figger, right?) started to take off and I focused on that, but now I'm back here with you guys. Insofar as Juice goes, I've been making my own, and I'm going to show you guys that.  

WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR US THESE DAYS DUCKIE?

Well, obviously, I plan on vlogging, and writing these little editorial rants. I'm still going to review stuff(I'm in the process of researching the first review back) and I'll show you guys stuff insofar as Juice and such goes. It's gonna be fun!

I firmly plan on youtubing again, and making sure that you guys will have access to it here on Tumblr. @Sweetmal25 told me that I should. I believe her. I don’t have a choice, She's my wife.

To conclude this, Let's find a way to help our Canadian brethren and fellow Vapers. I know we have an uphill battle here in the US to contend with, but we can't stand by and let our fellow Vaper lose their vaping. It's not something I'm willing to stand for. I'm gonna look into some stuff and find any sort of campaigns to help, and when I do they'll be posted here on my tumblr. Also, Pour one out for Johnson Creek. they will be missed. One of the first bottles of E-liquid I ever had was from them. It was a cookie flavour of some kind, if I remember right, and it was delicious.

Our Elected Officials have no idea what they're talking about insofar as vaping goes, and are trying to ban vaping in an effort to "Protect the Children". While a noble cause, this is a very thin veil that we can all see through, and know where it’s really coming from.

I AM BACK, and plan on a lot more content and DIFFERENT content than before while maintaining the older stuff.

@Sweetmal25 is my favourite person, and I'm not just saying that because ring.

I'll see you all in the next video and my next Ranting and Raving.

LET'S KEEP ON VAPING STRONG! QUACK QUACK!
