a lil goofy gay :0)
apparently in reno two years ago there was a period of post covid madness where people were making homemade whips and whipping each other in broad daylight. i cant stop laughing what the fuck. mad max ass problem
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/11/renos-weird-whip-problem.html
in breathless wonder at two specimens esp the one who thinks homeless people need to crack whips or they die of stress like an exotic bird
theres a video of a guy with a chain whip outside a 7/11 selling people individual bottles of wine.
i’ve a history of homelessness, and thus my referral was delayed for literal years and then my NHS surgeon refused to even speak to me and insisted on transferring my referral to somewhere with an 18 month waiting list.
i’m not too proud to beg: i’m already 32 and i can’t spend the next half-decade waiting on the NHS to benevolently grant me surgery — not to mention that i can’t afford travel to fucking Manchester with my disabilities or my tiny income from welfare benefits.
so my only real choice is to raise the money this way, as i’m estranged from family.
please, please donate; if 200 people donated £50 each, i’d make goal and then some. this is extremely important to me, and i’ve already got a consultation with a private surgeon coming up in early August: i’d love to have the money on hand when i go.
thank you for reading. please spread the word.
i’m likely going to be very annoying about reblogging this — but look, i’ve waited patiently for my turn for years, only to have the rug pulled from under me. my bra size is 32F (UK), and like … i can’t bind effectively, it’s affecting my safety, it’s worsening my chronic pain and preventing me from exercising to keep my hypermobility in check. i really, really need to make goal on this. it’d be literally life-changing.
hell, maybe i could even attempt returning to work or going to uni after i recover from surgery.
starting to lose traction, and this is honestly my last shot at getting top surgery. the GIC called me all concerned weeks ago and then nothing. waiting times are multiple years, and i’ve been fucked around so much already.
For everyone panicking, it has NOT become a law. It has passed its first round and has been put into a markup stage

OH OH I have a bit more info for this! I got this from a discord that I'm in, to give resources and to help folks with phone anxieties there's a full resource sheet with numbers to call and scripts to follow. These bills have been stopped before and its SO SO important to keep the phones off the damn hooks
I can't do all that much from Canada but I thought the wider audience of yall could use this resource, so spread if you can!!!
Because this is so f*cking insane and horrible and disgusting and petty and cartoon villain-ish and LETS ALL BE FILLED WITH UNBRIDLED RAGE TOGETHER
hey @staff what the fresh fuck is this
wow i sure wonder 🤔🤔 what the new layouts supposed to look like 🤔🤔🤔🤔 its a mystery
Don’t forget y’all that there’s a much better way for us to let Tumblr know what we think about specific changes, rather than @ ing staff or wip, and it’s sending in a support ticket and choosing feedback!
Tumblr reverted some of the asinine app decisions they made after a concerted feedback effort! So make sure to use this form! It’s what it’s for, but it’s not well advertised!
on a serious note regarding the wga strike and (as of 1:50 AM PST 7/13) upcoming sag-aftra strike, dsa-la has a fundraiser called The Snacklist which provides snacks and water on the picket lines here in LA. right now the funds they have will not last through the end of the summer, especially given the current and upcoming heatwaves necessitating more supplies. if you have a couple of dollars to spare it's a great way to directly support the writers (and potentially the actors) during this difficult time!
happy first sag-aftra strike in 60 years to all who celebrate.
if you are an enjoyer of media (which i will guess based on your presence on tumblr that you are) please consider donating to the snacklist (linked above) or to any of the following mutual aid funds that directly support striking actors/writers, IATSE and teamster union members who are also out of work and by and large refusing to cross the picket lines, and nonunion PAs and assistants (like yours truly) who are directly impacted by the work stoppage. everyone in this industry works unbelievably hard to bring you the shows, movies, webseries, and variety programs that you enjoy and every worker deserves a fair contract. any support you can give is extremely meaningful.
The Entertainment Community Fund provides emergency financial assistance to anyone in the entertainment industry who is unable to pay their immediate basic living expenses such as housing, food, bills, and healthcare.
The Union Solidarity Coalition has been formed by members of the wga, sag, and the dga to help cover the cost of healthcare for IATSE and teamsters who will not get enough work hours to qualify for their coverage this year due to their refusal to cross a picket line.
The Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund (also run by the Entertainment Community Fund but separate from the above link which supports all film and tv workers) offers assistance to tv and film support staff and assistants who are not protected by a union and have been displaced from low or entry level positions.
Drive 4 Solidarity is an IATSE organized event in August raising funds for all union and guild members. Tickets are available for those in socal but donations are being taken as well.
Humanitas Groceries for Writers fund provides WGA members with grocery gift cards.
Green Envelope Grocery is a grocery fund for all workers in the entertainment industry regardless of union status.
Zuckerberg is in such better shape than Musk, and is trained in combat sports. This will be humiliating if Elon shows up
I think the rich should engage in bloodsport for the entertainment of the masses more often. Let's get Kissinger and Cheney into a ladder match.
Reminder that if a billionaire CEO does something outrageous in the news, this should always be your first question.
Today that news story is that Meta, Zuckerberg’s company, is blocking all news content in Canada for Facebook and Instagram due to a new law requiring compensation to news publishers. Facebook is using its vast resources to apply public pressure to stop the laws of a foreign government and protect its profit margins. And they are getting sued by Malaysia.

This is my first coding assignment for my software engineering class that started today. It’s going to be a really good semester.
UPDATE: I got my grade back and
“100″
Since this post has gotten some attention, I feel like it’s worth mentioning that this was just the first half of the assignment.
The second half, which we weren’t made aware of until the day we were meant to turn this one in, was to trade USB drives with the person sitting next to us and MODIFY their “unreadable” code without getting any help from them.
This was to teach us two things:
1) In this field, you’ll spend more time working with code written by other people than you will writing original code from a blank slate. The people who wrote the original code will probably not be around to help you. Learning to read code is IMPORTANT, even if it seems unreadable.
2) There is a strong brotherhood/sisterhood among programmers and software engineers. Respect that bond when you’re writing code and documentation. In my professor’s words: “When you write code, pretend that the person who will have to maintain it after you’re gone is a homicidal maniac who knows where you live.”
This class and professor are incredible.
