Kubo has stated that there are tenure and merit increases to Gotei Captain salaries. So like, do you think Shinji, Kensei, and Rose got to come in at their old salary, or did Yamamoto make them take the pay cut and start at Captain Step 1 Base Salary all over again?

I don’t know why I’m asking this; it’s definitely Option 2!

I have to retire my current service dog by next year. I am trying to save up for my next prospect. I have a breeder lined up and am on a waitlist, but need help raising the funds for this puppy. Anything helps.

I will be training this dog for my anxiety, panic attacks, depression, sh tendencies, paranoia, agoraphobia, autophobia, cerebral palsy, asthma, and more.

Any amount donated helps me so much. Thank you!

Oh going over salaries and cost of living in class today three weeks out from graduation knowing I need to take a break from work for my mental health but also knowing there’s no way I could afford to move out without consistent income. There are knives in my skin.

Hi, my name is Marit, I'm 19 years old and I am fundraising so I can afford a service dog. I've been having a lot of social anxiety, general anxiety and depression for a long time, I've already had about 2 years of therapy and just recently got out of a day clinic, that I went to because my mental health got really bad after I got really overwhelmed by work and just everything happening around me. I'm currently still recovering from that while also figuring out where I wanna go with my life since the job that I had before didn't really work for me. So I thought now is a good time to get a service dog so in the future it hopefully will be easier for me to participate in the social life without always having to take my mom or someone else with me. That is basically my goal, to be able to go to the doctor, go shopping or just leave the house for a while without feeling super anxious and nervous. In return for your donations I'm planning on making an Instagram account where I will keep you updated on getting a puppy and on the training we go through. I know the goal is a high number, but the puppy itself will probably cost between 1.000 and 2.000€ and the training will take about two years, there is no fixed price for it so I don't know for sure how much it will cost in the end, but we have to pay the trainer for finding a puppy and testing it if it has certain qualities to be a service dog, which will cost 250€, and then we pay for the first 10 puppy training lessons which will be 140€. Of course all of the money is meant for the dog, so it will all be used for, of course the training, his food, things like beds and crates , toys, collar & leash etc. and of course for medical things. So yeah, if you would like to donate some money, I would really appreciate it and if you don't want to or can't that's totally fine, sharing my GoFundMe is also a big help! 

Thanks for reading and helping!

(also, since im disgruntled, maybe we dont use adoption as a "solution" and pretend that kids arent verrrrrryyy aware when theyre unwanted. and also still makes the issue about 'the children' vs. what its actually about which is bodily autonomy. two things!

greys anatomy does alot of things wrong but one thing it got very right was an argument btween cristina yang and owen. And hunt says " a relationship is about compromise. Cant you just give a little?" And cristina says "you dont give a little on a baby. you dont compromise on a baby.")

the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:

war on drugs: reagan's aggressive escalation of the war on drugs was a catastrophic policy, primarily targeting minority communities and fueling mass incarceration. the crusade against drugs was more about controlling the Black, Latino and Native communities than addressing the actual problems of drug abuse, leading to a legacy of broken families and systemic racism within the criminal justice system.

deregulation and economic policies: reaganomics was an absolute disaster for the working class. reagan's policies of aggressive tax cuts for the rich, deregulation, and slashing social programs were nothing less than class warfare, deepening income inequality and entrenching corporate greed. these types of policies were a clear message that reagan's america was only for the wealthy elite and a loud "fuck you" to working americans.

environmental policies: despite his reputation being whitewashed thanks to the recovery of the ozone layer, reagan's environmental record was an unmitigated disaster. his administration gutted critical environmental protections and institutions like the EPA, turning a blind eye to pollution and corporate exploitation of natural resources. this blatant disregard for the planet was a clear sign of prioritizing short-term corporate profits over the future of the environment.

AIDS crisis: reagan's gross neglect of the aids crisis was nothing short of criminal and this doesn't even begin to touch on his wife's involvement. his administration's indifference to the plight of the lgbtq+ community during this devastating epidemic revealed a deep-seated bigotry and a complete failure of moral leadership.

mental health: reagan's dismantling of mental health institutions under the guise of 'reform' led directly to a surge in homelessness and a lack of support for those with mental health issues. his policies were cruel and inhumane and showed a personality-defining callous disregard for the most vulnerable in society.

labor and unions: reagan's attack on labor unions, exemplified by his handling of the patco strike, was a blatant assault on workers' rights. his actions emboldened corporations to suppress union activities, leading to a significant erosion of workers' power and rights in the workplace. he was colloquially known as "Ronnie the Union Buster Reagan"

foreign policy and military interventions: reagan's foreign policy, particularly in latin america, was imperialist and ruthless. his administration's support for dictatorships and right-wing death squads under the guise of fighting "communism" showed a complete disregard for human rights and self-determination of other nations.

public health: yes, reagan's agricultural policies actually facilitated the rise of high fructose corn syrup, once again prioritizing corporate profits over public health. this shift in the food industry has had lasting negative impacts on health, contributing to the obesity epidemic and other health issues.

privatization: reagan's push for privatization was a systematic dismantling of public services, transferring wealth and power to private corporations and further eroding the public's access to essential services.

education policies: his approach to education was more of an attack on public education than anything else, gutting funding and promoting policies that undermined equal access to quality education. this was, again, part of a broader agenda to maintain a status quo where the privileged remain in power.

this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.

Yesterday, our fash excuse me neoliberal right wing government's new austerity went through, this is the first month where funds from those already the poorest are cut from youth and children, single parents, working poor got social security cut by hundreads in many cases -one of the rich assholes in charge literally got caught saying "such small cuts won't matter to anyone" to them making 14k+ a month few hundreads may be nothing??? Someone making 1k with kids you think few hundreads don't matter???? Why they did not cut from the rich instead they gave subsidies and tax cut TO the rich??!! We know why but in their logic...

Tyre Nichol’s mother has set up a memorial fund to help pay for mental health services for his family and a memorial skate park in his name. If you cannot donate, please share.

[gabelish]

I’m willing to concede that a lot of the 17-21 yo mostly white cis young men who commit mass shootings 100% needed therapy and had they had it might not have gone on killing sprees but republicans still refuse to pass bills to increase funding for high school’s to hire councilors or laws that subsidize mental health services for people esp for children etc. so like fuck off

Here's what's going on in Ohio right now. Heavy stuff ahead.

First, I want to apologize for the misinformation in my original post. I am still learning about legislative processes. To correct: the changes to ODH and OMHAS in regards to gender therapy are not a bill, they are changes in regulations.

This is important because citizens CAN affect rule changes. There is an open commentary period where your submissions get counted and can affect how they write new regulations.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, legal advocate, or medical professional. I'm just a dude who had to have it all explained to me.

The first one is Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services. The rules proposed would make the already prohibitive process of gender transition even harder. In order to diagnose and treat gender dysphoria, a hospital needs to have a board certified psychologist per patient, a board certified endocrinologist familiar with the age group being diagnosed per patient, and a medical ethicist overseeing the hospital's plan for transition. 'Board certified' does not guarantee that the specialist is trans-friendly. It must include a detransition plan. Hospitals would have to report compliance annually. The professionals must have a contractual relationship with the patient, but do not need to offer in-person care. (In this instance, I'll get to that in the next rule change.)

This rule also deems it impermissible to prescribe gender transition care (this includes hormones, puberty blockers, or drugs) for anyone under the age of 21 without the approval of the professionals mentioned and 6 months of therapy.

There is an exception for intersex people, who may have their sex assigned to them without their consent.

The open comment period for this ends January 19 at 5pm.

Send an email to MH-SOT-rules@mha.ohio.gov with the subject title: "Comments on Gender Transition Care Rules."

The second one is Ohio Department of Health and it repeats a lot of the same as the first one. However, the focus is more on the regulation of doctors and paperwork. Anyone seeking transition will be put into a registry with their name redacted, but demographics like age, agab, specific diagnosis (difficult to achieve with the new regulations mentioned above), and any medications (not just related to gender transition, but any medications at all). Any cessation of care must be reported within 30 days.

This is a lot of paperwork and can overburden hospitals.

That 30 days cessation is important because if a person transfers doctors or if a clinic closes and the paperwork isn't filed, it may count as a 'detransition' when tallying demographics, even if that is not the case.

But what's curious is that the ODH regulations DO require in-person care. The rules are contradictory and vague.

The comment period for this ends Feb 5th.

Send a comment through the ODH website

Here are some important things that were mentioned at the meeting:

This is a good time to be personal with your statements. If this would disrupt your life in any way, please say so. "I fear that" "I believe this" "I worry that"- these are great ways to start your comment. An example one person gave is "I worry that this change in regulations would force me and my daughter to move out of state.'

With that being said, anything that you send to these sites will be public record, so be cautious about what you reveal about yourself in your comment.

If you are in need of help, please reach out to one of these resources:

Trans Ohio Emergency Fund Resource Page

Kaleidoscope Youth Center

If you are in need of legal advice on how to navigate all this, please call

888-LGBT-LAW

This is not everything. There is unfortunately more because Ohio decided to break a record this month with anti-trans motions. But today I'm focusing on things that we can take action on.
