Hey guys 🍉, do you know any good and trustworthy charities that are raising money to help the people in gaza? Looking for recommendations!!!!

I was inspired by some other artists doing this but I thought that in exchange for you guys donating to a charity for gaza, as much as you want (it doesn’t have to be much, just what you can) I would draw you a sketch of a character of your choice!

...May I ask about your fursona ideas for the different beavis and butthead characters? 👀

HEHEH THANKS FOR AWAKENING MY MENTAL ILLNESS, ANON. I could talk about fursona headcanons (of anything) for HOURS.

I'll go through as many characters that I have ideas for. I definitely might miss some, but if you have a particular side-character I missed don't be afraid to ask. Again, I love thinking about this stuff : )

Beavis and Butt-Head: African wolf (Senegalese subspecies) and Spotted hyena, respectively. Hyena was too good an opportunity to pass up, but I felt Beavis needed to be a different animal. Hyenas are kind of "box-shaped" which lends itself well to how Butt-Head is designed, but Beavis is a lot more angular and "pointy" to me. I was considering a coyote, but it felt too basic. African wolf felt like a good median.

Also....consider...the size difference. Very silly. Buzzcut: American Staffordshire Terrier

It just felt right. Cassandra: Okapi

Just felt right (that might be my reasoning for a lot of these if they don't have extra commentary lol) Daria: Water opossum or Yapok

Earl: Sumatran Rhino

Principal McVicker: Gulf coast toad

I did this based off of vibes/character design initially but, now that I am writing this, I am realizing there is a connection here between frog baseball and the mental abuse Beavis and Butt-Head put on that guy on a daily basis lmaooo. Stewart: Syrian hamster

It is literally him. 'Nuff said. Todd: Red fox

Basic "cool animal". Also I like the name pun (for those not in-the-know, Tod is a term for a male fox).

Tom Anderson: Texas pocket gopher

Van Driessen: Water deer

Gentle beast. Very befitting for him <3. I could also have him be a regular type of deer but I like the visual of their tusks. Hoping to make more art of these interpretations, so keep an eye out : )

"This post makes a great blocklist" has done awful things to my psyche. Why do I keep wasting what builds up to hours of my time reading all of this dumb shit just to block people?? It's block and move on, not black and move and block and move and block and move and-

My boyfriends parents, upon learning about me for the first time less than a month ago: a deluge of excited messages to their son asking all about me and when they can meet me, inviting me to stay at their house, asking when we're going to get married, wanting to spend time with me and get to know me, saying how much they like me and want to see me again, HUGGING me and being affectionate towards me, thanking me for being there

Versus

My mother, who has been hearing about my boyfriend for months, responding to me asking if we could go for dinner so she could meet him: [extended awkward silence] um... well. I don't know. I think I should see you on your own first (because that always bodes well) [doesn't express any enthusiasm, interest or make any arrangements]

[fluffykitteninabox]

listen, what's the point of them including a flower bouquet in this set if not for shipping reasons??

[arrowpunk]

I'm cool with you being gay and loving all that and I'm still a catholic trad wife lol I just don't have homophobia.

Okay??? Good for you I guess? I am baffled as to why you felt the need to tell me this??? Like what is this about???

If this has something to do with my post from like? A month ago? About how my posts about my love for my wife are gay and not for the evangelical/fundie/trad crowd to repurpose and make about their trad christian marriages that still stands lol

Glad you're not homophobic? My queer love for my queer wife still isn't the same in any way shape or form to anything trad. Like if this is a straight trad woman looking for permission to reblog my lesbian posts about loving my lesbian wife and tagging it as your personal Jakey it's still a no please do not do that.

i dont understand what about this is so difficult for people to comprehend:

i just kinda want my thoughts on opinions on MY OWN HEALTH to be entertained instead of immediately disregarded

like. im 17. i shouldnt be having back pain so often. i shouldnt be having such severe leg pain. i shouldnt be dealing with such shitty hand joints. but FUCK ME i guess i dont get a say in jack SHIT about my own health!!!!! because what i say means fuck all!!!!! ok man!!!! whatever i guess!!!!!!!

Alternatively, if Tumblr just disappears, it might save me from the last connections I have to social media. Cause all these places fucking suck, and it's not necessarily the sites, its the people.

Radical calls:

The age of consent should be defined federally, not by state, regardless of "parental permission"

Unionize sex workers (not exactly radical, but worth mentioning)

Unionize "grunt" workers (including adjunct professors)

Either raise the enlistment age or lower the legal drinking age.

The ages of consent and enlistment, and drinking age should be defined by a panel of those with stellar expertise in the requisite fields within the healthcare community, not the judiciary.

The boards of education (federal and state) should be broken up by child developmental categories, each range headed by an panel of experts (without a heirarchy) within the education community

Unsure If Your Biz Idea Is Good?

Let’s get straight to the point…

You can have the best idea and all the money you need to start, and still fail! It happens every day. But chances are you're not in a position to blow a bag of money on a failed idea.

On the flip side, you can have a ridiculous idea and no money, yet be widely successful. This doesn't happen as often as the above scenario, but it has happened in the history of entrepreneurship. However, the chances of succeeding with all odds stacked against you are nill.

Ideally, you want, and should take, the safer more assured path. The path that confirms your business idea has the potential to be successful.

PURPOSE OF VALIDATING

Validating your business idea is based on its buying market. Take the time to answer these essential questions, and put your new business on a path to success:

Is there a buying market that wants or needs what I'm selling?

How large is my buying market?

What are the potential sales my new business could generate?

Who are my competitors, and how much do they generate in sales?

When doing traditional market research, no amount of data can tell you exactly how well your business will do, for two key reasons:

First, it is based on assumptions. In other words, guessing. Assumptions happen a lot in the business world. One can assume a business will do well, or not, based on industry history.

Secondly, it depends on you. As the Entrepreneur, you are the orchestrator and determining factor to the success of the business.

These two truths remind me of a quote that says:

It's true. And much of business success is trial and error primarily because you need the right solutions, at the right time, with the right efforts, selling to the right market. If these steps are not working in harmony, there will be struggles in your business.

HOW TO VALIDATE YOUR BUSINESS IDEA

The method you choose largely depends on the type of business you are starting. Choose the method that connects with your audience, this will give you the realistic feedback you need to know.

Consider these methods of validation:

MARKET RESEARCH - this traditional method requires the use of market data reports gathered every 2 to 10 years. While these reports are in-depth, they are also very expensive and possibly outdated at the time you need them.

However, there are free university studies that are easy to find online. While these reports are the most current in comparison, there is no guarantee that your industry has been studied in the current year. Other the other hand, you can always ask students to choose your industry for their report. Talk to the professor at your local university.

PROTOTYPE - this common method requires a little time and money, yet the feedback is probably the most reliable. Creating a prototype, or at least the ability to show products in some way is as close as you can get to the real thing. You can survey your customers’ interest by listing the product "for sale" on your website, showing the prototype at tradeshows, or by other methods. If there is an interest then you know you can invest your time and money to bring it to market.

AUDIENCE - this reverse method is ideal for active businesses with a customer base and social media with a focused following. When you are already in business it is easy to introduce something new to your customers.

When you have a focused social media following you want to introduce products and services related to the focus. For example, NOBOSS creates content focused on entrepreneurship and starting a business. Therefore, introducing a new spreadsheet, tool, or resource for entrepreneurs would be appropriate.

The only way to know if your business idea is a great solution is to validate it. Get the facts from your customer base or focused audience. This will save you time and money, and also guide you to the paying customers that want and need what you sell.
