Watch: The “pink tax” is secretly costing women thousands — and not just at the drug store

Jason Hawes is the star and co-producer of the show, Ghost Hunters. The Syfy channel is scheduled to broadcast another season of this show in August. Show them that you do not want to view programming produced by people who advocate violence against trans women. Trans women face enough violence in this world without bigots like this making things worse. If you think people like this should not be allowed to work in the media, please reblog this, and share the image on other social media with the hashtags: #firejasonhawes #boycottsyfy #boycottghosthunters

the thing that really gets me about like abled people acting disabled for roles is that so often disabled people are forced to act abled to survive

so many disabled people spend years learning to hide, to act abled, to perform, to desperately try and make it through each day

and then abled people will act like us for what? for money, for acclaim

whilst we are forced to act as them to live, they act as us for fun and also so they can continue to control our narratives, it makes my skin crawl

Reblog this if you have a disability and you are willing to answer any questions anyone may have about said disability.

My name is KD (or Kai) and I’m a chronically ill autistic spoonie. I’ve seen a lot of these going around, so I decided to make my own.

((I’m trying to donate when/where I can on other people’s lists, too))

I hate this. Things like this scare the shit out of me. Yes a parent should be protective. No they should not STALK their child. Yes a parent can get upset at a child. No they should not flip out or let their anger make them out of control, or take out their anger on their child. Yes a parent can lecture and maybe the kid feels like their parent is driving them crazy - but after the last two statements forgive me if I don’t exactly trust these definitions. A parent should never be their child’s worst nightmare. A pain sometimes, ok, but not a nightmare. And the idea of a parent “stalking” and “hunting down” their child is horrifying. If you were a good parent, maybe your child would have communicated whereabouts upfront with you already. And the last statement is the worst. “I will subject you to terror and treat you like my property…. Because I love you!” No one would ever put up with this from a partner, a friend, even a grandparent…. Why is it suddenly okay from a parent?

Fuck toxic parenting.

Let me tell you about my panda mini-washer

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver

The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use. 

It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way. 

Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.

Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer. 

That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%. 

The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry. 

I’m not great at expressing emotion, but I’m hoping you can tell how excited I am.  Let me just say that the panda mini-washer is great and I highly recommend it to anyone currently using a Laundromat.

Don’t pretend like you haven’t done this.
