Hi anyone who read this. The names Victoria or Pyra. I'm 31 years old and I enjoy lots of stuff! Hope everyone has a lovely day!! Icon Credit : Lottafandoms
Here is part 2 of the Mascot Meetup AU intro! Sorry its been a long time, life finally settled for me and I'm able to work on comics properly again. I'll be setting up the side blog for this AU soon.
Not all these movies are necessarily good, but the ones that gave me small pop culture epiphanies. It made me realize that 30%-40% of the jokes from modern sitcoms are references/parodies- and these movies are their source material.
^^ This is also true for socializing. So many people I thought were naturally funny were just doing movie bits.
[I actually do have a job, I am just a big fan of lists and graphs and flow charts etc.]
Hi I want to let you kids know how effective these walk outs are: public schools are payed by attendance. Meaning if you’re not going to class the whole school isn’t getting payed their share. Now if it’s just like the normal kid has a sick day that’s normal.
But a class of 200? And you know who’s getting the blame? Administration. So kids continue to plan your walk outs in DROVES. Convince the kid with perfect attendance to join you, get your teacher involved by having them accept your homework at a later time.
You kids deserve a proper education and school experience. Don’t let these adults take that away from you.
My high school was 2 THOUSAND. Back in 2018, we had a beloved teacher put on leave for talking about the Parkland shooting. Nearly 300 students + staff did an impromptu walkout. We were threatened with loss of prom and graduation… until a certain magazine caught wind of us. It was TIME. Our random high school was now national news. One of my classmates went on primetime news. We had helicopters for days. The next time we walked out, over half the school participated. We were blocked in on all sides by cops.
Walkouts make them scared. Walkouts get attention. Walkouts work.
dear public school students planning a walkout: for most USian schools, there are specific days of the year that are the most important funding days for your school district, because it is the day they do a count of “butts in seats” to calculate how much money your school will get. charter schools will bribe and coax students to attend school that day, receive their funding, and then kick out all their “problem” students (disabled, need and IEP, etc) for other schools to deal with the following Friday. anyway, if you want to make your protest exceptionally successful, plan it for THAT DAY. you, with your attendance, dictate the amount of money your school gets. use your power. ask your most burnt-out teacher what day that is, they will tell you and may even walk out with you.
this only applies to public, charter and similar schools that receive public funding. private school students, use your power to walk out and shame those who have failed you very publicly. if you can hurt their enrollment numbers, you too can hit them where it will be most effective.
The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.
My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.
All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.
I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!
I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.
He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.
This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.
I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.
I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"
This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.
The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.
The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).
How to clean a top loader (without the removable agitator thing). This should be done every 1-3 months depending on you unit, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.
A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.
This channel is gold. There's tutorials for cleaning EVERYTHING on there. Just go subscribe!
Gonna throw another potential resource at the end of this very long list, which may be potentially helpful for others like me who loathe videos. It's... the weirdest thing that has genuinely been helpful to me in housekeeping. Absolutely full of useful advice, and bizarrely still relevant in large part. (Though, caveat, research ANYTHING to do with chemicals or cleaning products more complicated than vinegar + lemon + water for modern information.)
It's America's Housekeeping Book (1941). Available for free download on the Internet Archive. (Large PDF file at the link here).
The LISTS y'all. The step by step lists. The emphasis on efficiency and arranging spaces for the least resistance possible. The basic concept of "take a tray or basket into a room when you are tidying up so you can put things that belong elsewhere on it and take them out LATER in ONE GO".
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
Hey y'all, so I'm in health insurance (I know), and we were talking about using social media to expand our clientele this morning (I KNOWWWWWW), and I will absolutely not be doing that over tumblr.com BUT! I DO think it makes sense to remind you all that:
1. OPEN ENROLLMENT BEGINS IN 2 WEEKS
2. OPEN ENROLLMENT WILL ONLY BE HALF AS LONG THIS YEAR
3. THE DEADLINE FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT IS DECEMBER 15TH THIS YEAR
4. INCREASED SCRUTINY MEANS IT WILL BE HARD TO SNEAK ON AFTER OE ENDS, FROM NOW ON
5. IF YOU MAKE UNDER $20,000 A YEAR IT IS WORTH APPLYING TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET MEDICAID!
and lastly:
6. NEVER EVER EVER EVERWORK WITH AN AGENT WHO WON'T SHOW YOU THEIR LICENSE!!!!*
*Jesus Christ the sheer amount of, not even fraud, but grift, completely legal ways to screw other people over, it makes my teeth hurt! Some names to watch out for (but not the only ones): Golden Rule, Manhattan Life, Philadelphia Life, First Health. Freedom life has 2 great plans and 1 Not Great plan, and if you're looking at them, PLEASE call me directly and I'll tell you which it is.
If you want a free consultation I am happy to do that but you are gonna have to schedule a phone call with me. DM's and ask box are open
On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."
As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.
As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.
May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.
when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.
