I hate having to do this but I don't feel safe living with my family & need to leave asap

We currently live in an old house that has an issue with the electrical wiring in the walls. There have been four power outages since May and each one has been blamed on me. My family knows about the faulty wiring but they still choose to place the blame on me and my PC. I built the PC in March and the issues only started when my nephew was out of school and my family installed a security camera in May

I've applied to over 200 positions since August 2022 and have been denied each time. Repeatedly told that I don't have enough experience for entry level positions or waiting months for feedback for retail positions. I've applied to gamestop & bestbuy and the most that's come out of those apps is being told I'm under future consideration.

I already had to deal with my family's homophobia, racism, and body shaming but potentially losing the PC that I built and was gifted genuinely has me scared.

I have wanted to run away with increasing frequency and am afraid of returning to find destroyed personal belongings. If there's anything you can do even if its just spreading this around that would mean the world.

I know I'm asking for a lot but I'm just desperate, scared & don't know what to do

April 2-8 Schedule

Hello Tumblr Cephalopals! I apologize for not being as active here as I am on twitter. I will try to schedule some reblogs & anything else important throughout the week. The biggest update is the completion of the TakoTower! I build a PC that allows me to stream & play PC games at the same time. I love it to pieces & you can definitely see the upgrade in quality. I want to thank 1000 Dreams Fund & JBL Quantum for choosing me as a Quantum Changemaker. This would not be possible without them.

I also encourage you guys to read about the other Changemakers as well as myself on their website! Thank you so much & TakOtsu~!

Reminder that this remains one of the most beautiful scenes in anime to ever exist.

Today’s world is a difficult one. It is becoming evermore digital and can be all the lonelier for it. And with it can come anxiety in abundance. But we have someone who we think might be able to help: Jasmine Marie, CEO and Founder of black girls breathing®, who is here to explore the many big questions in this strange new world.

We will be partnering with @blackgirlsbreathing, a safe space for Black women and girls to manage their mental health and reflect on and heal their trauma through breathwork and community. They aim to offer free and accessible mental health resources to one million Black women and girls by 2025.

COVID-19 harmed us in more ways than one, and some more than others. It widened the gap of accessible mental health resources available to Black and Brown communities at the same time many in these same groups were experiencing isolation, compacted grief, and depression. Jasmine’s work is focused on providing preventative tools to combat a taxed nervous system, and black girls breathing® is here to provide free and accessible mental health resources to Black women and girls by offering not just breathwork, but a community. So if you’re a Black woman or girl, take the pledge to take one action to better your mental health by grabbing your free mental health toolkit and signing up here. And don't forget to ask her a question, and join us back here on March 27th to see her answers.

Want to learn more about black girls @blackgirlsbreathing?

Check out their website!

Breathe with us on March 27th @12pm EDT during their Mindful Monday Breathwork for Anxiety session on Tumblr Live

Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Finals

Poll Directory

Context:

Anthy/Utena

Summarized by Anonymous Contributor

THE blueprint for homoerotic betrayals of the canonically gay (as opposed to interpretive, certainly there are older iconic examples for that) variety. listed as #2 in the infamous top ten anime betrayals video, iirc.

it is about akio pushing anthy to utena. it is about utena’s protective stance, misunderstanding. most of all, it is about anthy kissing utena’s shoulder before stabbing her.

the story has been leading us to this the whole time — utena assuming once again the protective princely position; akio, always playing divide and conquer, unable to manipulate utena to betray anthy, now reliant on anthy betraying utena; the game being rigged from the start, true victory impossible (for the duelists, who will always lose the game proper to akio, the rule maker, in one way or another; for akio himself, just as obviously); utena’s love for anthy within the princely stance; anthy’s love for utena and anthy’s fear (of the world beyond; of utena loving her truly; of utena not loving her truly but just projecting onto her still as any prince does, and turning out to be the same (as akio) in the end) and akio (framing himself) as the only one who will love her no matter what because friends turn away from you and only connections by blood are forever, the two of them are the only ones who’s real in this projected world, so on and so forth, and anthy’s bitterness towards utena (“do you know, utena-sama, how i always despised you” from that one “in the next episode” bit) and her princeliness and her being not that impossibly unlike akio (all princes are the same). everything has lead us to this moment. and yet we are shocked.

personally, i’ve never moved on from how she kisses her shoulder.

Judas/Jesus

Summary by @this-is-a-name-dont-worry

We of course have Judas betraying Jesus, with a kiss like a last goodbye, maybe a mockery of their love, maybe a grieving goodbye. In the end it doesn't matter, because Judas would rather hang himself than to keep going. The money was unspent or returned, a change of heart from regret, or maybe a sign it was never about it

But the betrayal is also from Jesus; Jesus, who knew who Judas was, who knew what he'll do. Jesus who still let Judas be an apostle... an act of love, but also, isn't it so cruel to make it look like there was a choice, a chance at another ending for Judas? This is a story where it being a story is part of it, and the writer inserted himself among the characters, and doomed one of them to eternal hatred from everyone. And he dared let the one who will be doomed think he'll ever be saved. Jesus knew what would happen, knew what Judas would do, yet he still let it happen, because the story is more important. After all, at the Last Supper, isn't it Jesus who tell Judas to go and do what he must do?

Judas betrayed Jesus, but Jesus sacrificed them both

Downloading my shit off D&D Beyond and cancelling my subscription. Time to go back to my fucking roots.

If you haven't been following the OGL 1.1 debacle - it's gotten worse! They want to lock D&D Beyond behind a 30$ month subscription, with different tiers, with the lowest not allowing you to use homebrew - as if their shitty ass books offer you anything substantial to run a campaign from. They've been putting everything on the DM's for a long time. They'll also be offering what is essentially a 'game pass', and wanting to offer stripped down AI-DMs. If AI art pisses you off, then so should this.

If you have one, cancel your sub and download the PDF's of anything you've bought/made on D&D Beyond. Don't go see the movie. They need to get a good slap around the head for this.
