Tax-Free Bonds vs Equity Investments
Tax-free bonds and equity investments are two different investment options with their own advantages and disadvantages. The choice between the two depends on your individual financial goals, risk appetite, and investment horizon.
Tax-free bonds are issued by government entities and are exempt from income tax. They offer fixed returns for a specified period of time, typically 10, 15, or 20 years. These bonds are considered low-risk investments and are suitable for investors who prioritize safety and stable returns over high-risk, high-reward investments.
On the other hand, equity investments involve buying shares of companies in the stock market. Equity investments are higher-risk investments than tax-free bonds, but they offer the potential for higher returns over the long term. Equity investments require a longer investment horizon and are suitable for investors who can tolerate volatility and are willing to stay invested for an extended period.
When deciding between tax-free bonds and equity investments, you should consider your investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. If you prioritize safety and stable returns, tax-free bonds may be a good option. If you are willing to take on more risk for the potential of higher returns over the long term, equity investments may be a better fit.
It's important to note that diversification is key to a successful investment portfolio. Consider investing in a mix of asset classes, including tax-free bonds and equities, to spread out your risk and increase your chances of achieving your financial goals. It's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor to determine the best investment strategy for your individual needs.

And another thing: if you have vagina, and ESPECIALLY if you tend to fuck dicks, please PLEASE consider getting an IUD if you donât want kids. We all know they want to ban abortion, but some people donât know theyâre also going after contraceptives. Rn access to contraceptives is protected by only a Supreme Court case (you know like what protected abortion), so that can go away. Contraceptives can be regulated to be in accessible or prohibitively expensive, but they canât take an IUD out of your body (at least not in the foreseeable future). Itâs good for sometimes 5 years.
I want to say this now because I was on the phone with a gyno for like 20 minutes on hold and only got a consultation today (which you sometimes need before they can schedule an appointment) because someone cancelled last minute.
I know people have had bad experiences with the IUD I know people have had excellent experiences. Iâm going to document mine step by step so you know some things you can expect, if youâre thinking about it.
For context: iâm 25, have insurance through my job and live in a blue state, so my experience might be different/faster/easier etc. than yours.

still super weird to me when people totally unnecessarily adopt a strawman version of their own opinion. I saw someone claiming that the relationship between weight and heart disease isn't real, which is just objectively untrue, and also doesn't need to be true for treating fat people like shit to be bad. not to mention the fact that heart disease seems to be more correlated with body size than body fat. bodybuilders and tall people also have high heart disease rates

Ghost of fries and hero of cookies part 5
All work words count: 14 643
Words in this part: 1 685
Summary of whole work: Duke wasn't expecting to wake up from his quick rooftop nap to some meta kid with fries. He also wasn't expecting kid to stay
Or
Danny asked Dani to stay safe while she was in Gotham. Where would she be safer than under the wing of local hero? And he looked like he needed bad day combo anyway
This part summary: Steph finally gets to meet Duke's kid. And she comes bearing gifts!
Beta read by @audhumla-sailor though English is second language for both of us, so proceed with this in mind. I also know all of the charaters through fics alone, so probably ooc. Stay catious if it's something you don't like
First part, Previous part
Duke was really glad that Bruce was busy whole previous evening and couldnât give him The TalkTM Vigilante edition. Maybe he shouldnât because B being busy spoke trouble but he couldnât feel too sad about it. He didnât want to have The TalkTM though.
For now, Dani was running next to him, with a serious look on her face that was kinda uncanny. She wasnât supposed to not be happy and some weird instincts were screaming at him to fix it and fix it now. But he didnât know how!
Though some of his jokes caused a little smile, so it was good.
It turned potentially less good when she stopped without warning, lowering herself to the fighting stance (finally proper, which made him so immensely proud by the way). He stopped too, wishing they wouldnât have to fight but he knew better than to latch on this hope.
âWhatâs up, Hoopoe?â he whispered.
âSomeone is coming. Light, use grappleâ Most likely one of the Bats then, they were due to a visit anyway. However better to not lower his guard in case he was mistaken or it was a prank/test. His expectations were proven right though, when purple blur flipped over the edge of the roof. He relaxed and put hand on Daniâs shoulder so she wouldnât tackle Steph before they could explain anything. She seemed on edge like that whole day.
âHey Spoilerâ he greeted to further show that the blonde was a friend.
âSup Signal! Heard I can finally meet your little friend!â
Dani straightened herself and tried to float a few inches up to seem higher probably.
âIâm considerably higher than most kids my ageâ she deadpanned. She really wasnât though. He was still trying to learn whether her size was caused more by genetics or malnourishment. Her only family member Duke knew of was also small, so maybe it was a family thing though.
Steph shrugged, waving her palm a few inches below her shoulder, approximately where Damian reached, quite few inches over Daniâs head.
âRobin is the familyâs smol violent bean and youâre shorter than him. Youâre small bean, deal with thisâ
Little girl pouted, crossing her arms. Steph cooed.
âOh, you even get angry like he does!â
Young meta looked like she was asking âShould I use violence?â and inch towards the answer âYesâ. Duke decided he should step in before she acted on these thoughts. Teasing was the opposite of what girl needed at the moment. Some good fight might not be bad but maybe not with Steph.
âCut it Spoilerâ
She rolled her eyes so dramatically he could tell she did so despite her mask. He still thought it was impressive âDonât be boring dudeâ
Dani growled in a way that couldnât be fully human, just like she did when they talked about her training for the first time. Duke squeezed her arm. Girl glanced at him before sagging so much he was scared she would fall for a hot second. He exchanged concerned looks with Steph over her lowered head. It was not normal nor was it good.
âAlright, youâre not smol,â Steph agreed lightly âOfficially at least. Whatâs in my head stays there. Does it work for you?â
Duke almost hit her in the arm. Not strongly, in a friendly manner but still. He didnât only because it seemed to somehow work. He let his hands drop.
âYour mind is sacred,â Dani started seriously âwhat leaves your mouth is not. Canât diss you on your thoughts but Iâll on your wordsâ she shared like it was some important truth of life. Or folklore proverb though Duke wasnât sure about the latter. Afterall he was Gothamite born and breed, he knew countryside from movies âAnd actions. Actions are kinda important,â meta girl added in lighter tone after moment of thinking.
âYeah, actions are the bestâ Steph agreed easily âHey, can I get it on a T-shirt? Iâll love and cherish itâ
âFirst you laugh at my height and then you want my intellectual property for free? For shame, Spoiler, for shame?â
Steph looked thoughtful, theatrically over exaggerating her body language.Â
âValidâ she nodded.
Duke decided he would just watch whatever was going to happen and did damage control if needed. He didnât feel up to anything else anyway.
âHeard your cape went in an adventure,â the purple vigilante admitted after moment of silence. Dani shrugged rubbing her arms awkwardly. Duke knew she normally would fix said cape. It was her way of fidgeting.
âYup, itâs good way to put it,â girl nodded. âSomebody needed it more, I hope it enjoys its travel. I should get a replacement soonâ
âWell, I canât let fellow caped crusader, who understands necessity of hood, run capelessâ
Younger girl waved her hands in a flurry motion of dismissal.
âDonât-â she stopped when her eyes locked on orange bundle Steph took from somewhere under her cloak. Opportunity to pull tricks like that had made Duke consider adding some sort of cape to his Signal suit back when he had been working on it back in a day but dismissed it. He still wasnât looking forward to learning curve of fighting with such additional liability. He couldnât turn it intangible when it was in a way like certain white haired cheater did.
Speaking of Dani, girl stared at Stephâs gift like she couldnât quite believe it was real. She held her hands close to her chest but her fingers flexed in grabby motion. Her eyes were hidden behind black lenses of her mask but everything else about her face further proved how awestruck she was. Even her muted aura brightened a bit in a way that he learned to recognize as excitement.
It was still kind of weird, by the way. Normal auras havenât changed, it was kinda their thing.
Steph wiggled her gift a bit. Dani finally took it but had yet to put it on.
âItâs for me?â she whispered so utterly shocked and small that Duke mentally did a double take.
âYeah, like I said, canât let you run around without itâ
âOhâ
Daniâs hand was gnawing at the edge of the material as if it was some sort of squashmellow.
âTry it on,â Steph encouraged gently.
âWe need to check if Spoiler havenât messed up somethingâ
âSignal!â
Dani snorted, which was all Duke tried to achieve.
She put it on and after a moment of shuffling she once again became orange cloak with feet. She grinned widely looking far more relaxed and settled than she did moments before. She moved around a bit like she was in model show or at least what ten years old thought it could look like.
âYou like it?â
âYup, itâs amazing, thank you Spoiler⊠Though itâs heavier than I expectedâ
âWell, I donât know what your first one was made out of but this is material I use, I found it the best balance between durability, weight and comfiness. Still, itâs quite dense and a bit heavy. Also, I added pockets because you can never have too many of them. Plus there are few glitter bombs inside. You know, âwelcome to the teamâ gifts,â Steph explained eagerly and judging by Daniâs smile, she loved her gifts. Duke would be a little worried on a Gotham crimeâs behalf if it wasnât well, crime and if he wasnât all there to watch chaos these two would unfold from sidelines with bat-popcorn in hand (though it wasnât really a thing yet, he would have to mention it to Tim or Jason). For now though, they really should continue on the patrol.
âNow that introductions are over, letâs get going. Crime never sleeps or something,â It was really weird to be the organized one. Before Dani showed up, on a day shift he was a sailor, a captain and a ship (or maybe Gotham was a ship-), We Are Robins days were chaos in purest form and shape and when he was called out for a night he usually was too tired to behave and was just additional mess to organize (on purpose, let him have his goddamn sleep, he wasnât Tim).
âOkay,â Dani agreed cheerfully âThere is a robbery at the greek diner we visited last Thursday. âs been going for five minutes or so,â she added unbothered.
âHOOPOE!â
âWhat?â
***
Spoiler jumped through the open window of the diner with a graceful roll, glitter bombs at hand. Hoopoe and Signal came inside right after her.
âSpoiler alert!â purple girl yelled, throwing two bombs at robbers heads and kicking third one in the ribs.
Dani decided that she liked Spoiler right then and there as she threw her own brand new, orange(!) glitter bombs at remaining criminal.
***
Three of them were running through the city mostly uninterrupted after diner mishap. Steph tried to engage Dani in quip battle but younger girl for once wasnât jumping on occasion. She kept close to Duke and his only reaction was smug smile in Spoilerâs direction. Thatâs what she got for trying to steal his sidekick.
âOh!â Dani exclaimed delighted, stopping abruptly, a smile that spoke trouble gracing her face.
âNo, weâre not busting Jokerâs scheme by jumping into the meeting to beat them all up without proper back up, again, Hoopoe. They had guns, Hoopoe.â
âWha- Wasnât last time enough? Anyway, I heard there is fan meeting with Martian Manhunter in Los Angeles tomorrow,â Great, so no giving him heart attack right now. Thank God for that.
âShame he wonât make it, huh?â Steph mussed âHe is in Illinois right now, isnât he? It would take him two days driving to even get thereâ
Daniâs expression looked thoughtful âItâs quite farâ
âYeah, around⊠2,500 miles from hereâ
âHuhâ
âWhat got you thinking kid?â she inquired, ruffling her hair.
âNot a kid and I thought- there is kidnapping at three!â Dani darted in that direction before finishing sentence. Duke jumped right after her slightly scared. She was not ready to handle stuff like that without back up and she would try if he let her run of like that.
********
Steph: I'm meeting my almost niece tomorrow what should I- *gives a gremlin child an ultimate weapon of chaos*
Sometime before this part:
Steph: So, how is your kid?
Duke: She is not my kid!
Duke: By the way, wanna see video I saved of her doing proper side kick for the first time?
Danielle "looks like 10 years old is 10 months max" Phantom: I am in fact much higher than most kids my age
Duke "whoever is feeding this tiny child does bad job at it" Thomas & Stephanie "it's just a lil baby" Brown: Yeah... sure...

Where My September Babies At
There's a scene in the novel where Eddie mentions that studies show children born in the first three months of the year have distinct advantages over their later-born peers. A reader pointed out some issues with the thesis, so it's a good thing I remember where I picked that trivia up, because maybe I got it wrong!
I can go back and listen to the podcast where I heard it, but I thought I'd google around first in case I could find something faster to confirm/disprove the thesis. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did find a BUGFUCK INSANE breakdown of what is likely to a happen to a child depending on their birth month.
I make no claims to this being accurate; they absolutely do not cite their sources and the whole page reads like bad clickbait, but anyway tag yourself, I'm gonna live to be 100:
January â Higher risk of developing Crohnâs disease, epilepsy, and Alzheimerâs.
February â Increased risk for death from lung cancer.
March â Higher risk for certain kinds of heart disease.
April â Increase risk for becoming an alcoholic or developing an eating disorder.
May â Lower risk for developing chronic illness.
June â Higher risk of developing vision problems.
July â Increased risk for developing autism and asthma.
August â More likely to be labeled as a problem student.
September â More likely to live to see 100 years of age.
October â Higher risk for insect bites, chest infections, and STIs.
November â More likely to be left-handed, the risk for heart problems and lung cancer.
December â Lower risk for allergies and asthma.
#it's the super specific ones that get me#higher risk for bug bites#more likely to be labeled a problem student#LEFT HANDEDNESS#what the fuck

I am thinking about. Jamie and the Second Doctor.
Because out of all the incarnations of the Doctor, Two is arguably the one who uses manipulation and disguises the most. He thrives on using people's intelligence against them, on tricking people, on bluffing and his bluffs working. He has a different disguise every story pretty much and is constantly playing some kind of role.
And then you look at Jamie, and some of Jamie's most front and center traits are his loyalty and his honesty (and protectiveness, but less applicable). Jamie is loyal to a fault and extremely trusting of the Doctor. He's honest and straightforward and deeply caring.
And Jamie is the one who sticks by the Second Doctor for as long as he physically can--and you'd look at those two characters, one who is manipulative and cunning, and one who is loyal to a fault, and you'd think the Doctor would easily be able to take advantage of Jamie, that Jamie would just be a tool for him but he's not, they're on equal footing. Jamie pulls the Doctor down and reminds him what being human is all about.
#wren rambles#doctor who#second doctor#jamie mccrimmon#something in there about every doctor having one specific companion who balances them out and tackles that incarnations exact biggest flaw.#for One it's probably Barbara and Ian (Barbara if we're being specific)#been a while since i saw the other classics#ten its donna for SURE#probably something in there for twelve and clara#though i'm not sure if she exactly cancels out his flaws or just Makes Him Worse <3#leela filling a similar role for Four that jamie fills for two?#that like... so called primitive Lower Intelligence contrasting with the Doctor's Higher Intelligence#or something#it's the doctor needing someone to remind him about human emotions and things#because he's so Able to overlook all that#and risks seeing people just as tools#and Two is more susceptible to that than other doctors I think#so contrasting him to Jamie's almost blind loyalty is *chefs kiss* fantastic#anyway i dont know if i am at all explaining myself but yeah#point is. the doctor could get jamie to do pretty much anything#point is. he doesn't

In Ep55 A Place for Everything, when Minkowski thinks Kepler is doubting the likelihood of Eiffel still being alive after he's floated towards the star in his spacesuit, Minkowski says "Eiffel had plenty of air left, and let's not forget he survived for -" It seems pretty likely that she was about to say that Eiffel survived nearly 200 days stranded in deep space on Lovelace's shuttle. It's interesting to me that Minkowski uses that incident as evidence that Eiffel will survive this time too, because that's not really how situations like that work.
We don't know exactly how much Minkowski knows about Eiffel's time on Lovelace's shuttle, but the reality is that he survived for those 193 days due to an extremely specific combination of impressive ingenuity, incredible perseverance, access to the right resources, a fair dose of stupidity, and an extraordinary amount of sheer luck. Without just one of those ingredients, he would never have made back to the Hephaestus alive. The ingenuity and perseverance could serve him well in this situation too, but the other factors don't exactly apply in the same way.
In my view, it isn't really that Eiffel's survival on that shuttle serves as evidence of any specific attributes that will guarantee his survival this time. I think it's more that the events with Lovelace's shuttle - Minkowski thinking Eiffel was gone forever but then being miraculously reunited with him - have given Minkowski a non-specific sense of Eiffel as a person who survives, a person who ends up in nearly inescapable peril and yet somehow always escapes, a person who makes it back alive against all the odds. It's not a piece of logical practical evidence. It's just an emotional instinct that allows her to believe that she's not going to lose him, allowing her to focus on what she can do to try and find him.
Minkowski's 'Goddamn it Eiffel' when he floats towards the star in Ep53 is so much less dramatic than the way she yells his name as the shuttle drifts away in Ep28. And that's partly about what the story calls for in those moments. And it's partly about the specific situations and the agency Eiffel has had in them. But it's also that in Ep53 she already believes that he will be okay, that he'll come back. He's done it before. He'll do it again.
#Wolf 359#w359#renee minkowski#doug eiffel#renée minkowski#And he does come back but when that happens#she can't appreciate that she was right to believe he'd survive#I love that Minkowski thinks she's so logical but sometimes she really isn't#I don't think her belief that Eiffel is a person who survives is ironclad though#Kepler says that there are limits to what the human body can withstand#and Minkowski's mind immediately jumps to the idea that he's saying Eiffel is likely to be dead#She immediately starts arguing against that assumption#I think she's been arguing against it inside her head already#Also there's a contrast between this and other moments#where Minkowski acts like Eiffel is at a higher risk of dying than most people#like that bit in the liveshow where she jokes about the horrifying early death Eiffel is hurtling towards#That was before she heard him hurtle off into the likelihood of a horrifying early death#and before he returned from it#Also I think this idea of Eiffel as a person who survives probably contributed to her trying to send him back to Earth in the finale#She needs to know that one of them makes it out. And he's survived so much. He should be the one who survives#wolf 359 spoilers#w359 spoilers#the empty man posteth#long post#Eiffel & Minkowski

Iâve always loved medicine bc itâs the perfect intersection of science and humanityâthe two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now Iâm thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise
#Not to mention the surprisingly high suicide rate of surgeons thatâs been brought to my attention lately#Honestly I just started my neuro internship and just saw my first patient in clinic#And on the day I did I was critical of my neurologist for being so robotic about it#Now I can see why#Iâm still at a point where I canât even do a chart review for a patient without feeling so fucking sad#And I can see how that can get unsustainable after a while#But itâs like if I kill the feelings that drive my passion for medicine to begin with then whatâs the point#Itâs not like Iâm in it for the money or prestige bc thatâs so dumb considering how long the schooling is#But literally how to deal#My supervisors at the clinic very much all speak about the dementia patients w a learned impartialness#But I donât wanna be that way one day :( but how to be anything else and still survive#Iâm pre med so I still have time and maybe my opinion will change and Iâll wanna do another specialty#But when it comes to this every specialty will involve human lives and navigating that regardless#That said I can see why surgeons are at higher risk or depression suicide etc#The whole point of this internship is to teach myself how to navigate this stuff but. Hate it#p#med tag

Something something Tadc Soundwave angst
Sounders trying his hardest to manipulate or break the code (hes a hacker he should be able to save himself and others from this) but fails every time. The depressing thoughts of others dont help either
.. Imagine he knows when someone will or about to abstract and no matter how he tries to prevent it doesnt succed (wonder does he hear the Abstracted thoughts under or he can no longer hear those who are gone?)
Ohhh ohhohoh that'd be kinda fucked up but sooooo interesting
He can't save them
Time and time again proves he can't save them once he knows they're going to abstract soon
(I mean I'm not sure how that'd fit with how we know abstraction occurs, but it'd be interesting)
I'm imagining Soundwave can read the abstracted's minds, but the thoughts are all garbled and mixed upâ the thoughts are, well, pretty abstracted as well.
#transformers#maccadam#the amazing digital circus#tadc#soundwave#like#abstraction definitely probably occurs when someone just can't take it anymore and loses it_ right?#so that's often preventable#that's the point of the adventures right?#i personally believe that we might be able to un-abstract the abstracted eventually#blame the flashback in episode three for inspiring that in me#this makes me wonder if Soundwave's ability puts him at a higher risk for abstraction himself

it also once again makes me painfully aware of the woes of being a dragon age dwarf enjoyer (<- being starved for proper lore) đ
#cant believe they will just say yeah they have all these very strict rules and structures that dictates pretty much all life in orzammar#(and even outside of orzammar!)#and then didnt even think through how that would affect society and life and everything let alone give us more info on it#lay rambles#literally even the 'children take on the caste of their same sex parent' which comparatively comes up very early and very frequently#and is a pretty damn significant part of how orzammar is structured!#is very obviously not thought through#because that would have a huge impact on the balance of sexes in different houses and on caste and family relations#among other things#or how orzammar is desperate for children and yet if a child is born casteless the casteless status is still more important#the combination of how important social standing is but also they cant let casteless die out because they are integral to how orzammar func#*functions#in general the role of the casteless is so juicy and interesting honestly#or say. how does a society that puts so much value in reproduction treat those who cannot reproduce#and how does all of that affect gender#is there a separate role/gender/whatever for people who cant have children?#would they be ostracised because of it or maybe even held in high regard bc they are the ones who can do The Dangerous Jobs#like joining the forces who protect the thaig against darkspawn or mine lyrium without having to risk loss of fertility?#(but would then ofc be *expected* to take on those jobs)#would it make women be held in higher regard and men more expendable?#imagine if houses had matriarchs who have a lot of social influence and power regardless of their actual rank within the house#because they successfully produced and raised a lot of children#but yeah idk i'm just rambling now lol#dragon age dwarves are cool i wish bioware wouldn't forget them all the time. is what i'm saying

[ previous / next ] AZ and Xan have an awkward but badly needed conversation, part 3 !
AZ's realization was of course the most harrowing realization of all ... If he wants Xan to know how he's feeling, he has to say it out loud đ
The flowers in the first image are bindweed (uncertainty) + marigolds (Xan's signature flower)
I also finally managed to do something I'd been wanting to try for awhile ^.^ combining my drawings of their past to create a background ... These previous versions of themselves... They will always exist in one way or the other, but with that vulnerable confession the "idealized self" has been shattered. Now, they can see each other for who they truly are...
#sketch tag#pokemon#pokemon xy#trainer az#az pokemon#eternal flower floette#xanthos#usually i would put extra info beneath a readmore but đ#using one with a longer image post seems to have a higher chance of messing up the formatting#im not gonna risk it đ«¶đŸ#can you tell i was reading shoujo while working on this đ

Dream telling Hob about all his names when they meet again is sweet, but I think it would be funnier if he just didn't. Showed up 33 years late, immediately admitted they're friends, sits down, asks Hob about what he's been up to, forwards absolutely no information of his own until Hob tentatively asks him what happened, and the Stranger just goes "oh I was detained. It wasn't because of you that I didn't show up. I'm sorry" and doesn't elaborate. Hob thinks the friendship isn't actually solid enough to pry past the guy's very much too guarded eyes, so they keep on this charade of Hob Gadling and his Very Strange Friend. Dream doesn't even tell him he's not the one allowing him to keep living.
I have feelings about this I don't actually think the persevering anonimity is funnier, I think Dream cherishing Hob's willingness to call him friend just because he wants to and not because he knows him as Dream of the Endless with Hob actually just liking him as the Stranger and being distraught he didn't show up and then happy he did, is actually the sweetest scenario.
#the sandman#dream of the endless#hob gadling#sandman fanfiction#i would like a 30k+ words very slow burn platonic fic with Hob just going along with his strange friend#occasionally he crosses paths with people like mad hettie and johanna constantine that mention him and he just can't connect the dots#people also don't know hob's strange friend is dream bc hob describes him very charitably and other people just don't know dream like that#i also love the crossovers#good omens and supernatural and even shadowhunters#just hob having this weird Do Not Mess With This One mystic signal#and people freaking out because it's placed as to be a warning but an anonymous one#'wtf even can feel like this' and maybe only the higher ranking angels and demons have their suspicions#in the meanwhile hob is trying very hard to solidify the friendship enough that he can risk asking the stranger if he's actually alright#and if maybe he wants to talk about it#and does he know anything about ravens because hob has befriended this one raven and he thinks ravens would fit his aesthetic very well#the stranger had just decided to entertain hob's attempts at making him drink anything and he chokes on it
