Pro tip for my disabled and chronically ill friends in college: if you have to put a work order in and it is related any bit at all to your disability, write, very clearly in the "describe what needs to get done" section, "This issue is a health hazard," followed by a description of how the issue relates to your disability/chronic illness.

They are required to put it as a high-priority issue and fix it ASAP. Required BY LAW. Yes, I said it. They are legally required to fix these things, both under OSHA regulations and the ADA.

Play the disability card. I'm begging you. DISABLED IS NOT A BAD WORD. But don't abuse it. This is a fine line here.

Example: I'm heat and noise sensitive. My HVAC unit started breaking down and rattling loudly. That would be an example of a health hazard. A broken light could be a health hazard to someone with vision issues. I can only speak for myself here. But y'all have the right to speak up and advocate to yourself.

Neurodivergent people, this applies to you too. You're one of us (one of us! one of us! one of us!). Don't let the exclusionists gatekeep this information from you.

being south asian and walking into one of those white people new age shops full of incense and dreamcatchers and ganesha statues and telling them you're indian is a fascinating experience because this white lady gasped and took my hand with what i can only describe as reverence and said 'oh my god I love you and your people so much you have so much wisdom' and i was like thanks and she gave me 20% off my incense cones

Money saving pro-tips to people from warm climates that move to a cold climate

Source: I lived with a southerner and a girl from LA in a northern city in the US and they wasted a lot of money.

Tip #1: Drop your heat at night, or any time you’re not home. Most people up north don’t keep the heat at the same temp 24/7. That shit's expensive. When I’m home, I keep my heat anywhere between 65-68F, but during the workday, or at night, that shit goes down to 60F. A lot of thermostats are programmable so you can have it set automatically to turn down while you're at work/at night.

Tip #2: If you’re leaving your home for over 24 hours, lower the heat as much as possible. I set mine to 55F. Apartments and even houses heat up pretty quickly, so there’s no reason to waste money if no one’s around, and you won’t die if you have to wear your coat indoors for a few minutes. Note: you can’t turn your heat off completely or your pipes will freeze.

Tip #3: If you’re home but you’re only going to be occupying one room for several hours, consider leaving the heat low and just buying yourself a space heater.

Tip #4: When buying a space heater, get one that has an internal timer or thermostat. They cost slightly more, but the bonus to these is that they don’t just continue putting heat into the air until you intervene. They will turn themselves on/off in intervals, which helps to keep your room at a more consistent temperature. Just don’t forget to make sure the heater is switched off if you’re leaving your home!

Tip #5: Get better socks. A lot of the cold you feel is actually just ur terrible, flimsy ankle socks not protecting you from the cold floor. If I’m lounging around at home, I wear those heavy duty fuzzy socks that have a whole internal double lining. I’m a raynaud’s bitch so I know what I’m talking about.

Tip #6: Fleece-lined leggings. Steal your bf’s fleece pants. Why do they make men’s casual sweats so much thicker than girl’s casual sweats? Literal bullshit.

Tip #7: Idk who lied to you and told you that a bed can only have one comforter, but that’s dumb. I sleep with two. It’s much warmer.

Tip #8: If you're in an old apartment/house, winterize your windows. You can buy winterizing seals and insulation anywhere online and it's very cheap.

discussion encouraged, aka please elaborate in tags or comments. i may be provoking the lion (please be civil) with this but i'm very curious about what the community thinks

for reference, "good" parenting implies that the kid in question feels secure and has no severe concerns or grievances with sonic himself or with having sonic as a parent (e.g., little to no daddy issues)

i'd appreciate rb's to boost the sample size but this is for personal research and satisfaction mostly!

It’s easy to love someone when times are good. Real love is about holding on to one another when times aren’t.

AAAAAAAAAAA i love your chubby miku so much she inspires me to get better at drawing cute chubby girls what are your tips

Disclaimer: I'm no expert in anatomy, this is my understanding and method that I wanted to share to everyone. Although I dont do this method anymore since I got used to skipping this chibi method but I sometimes use this when Im in trouble and that I started here!

I hope its not tooo messy lol!

OTHER NOTES:

Try to find real life references. Build a mental library of various body shapes and poses. Soon you will notice that how body fat and muscle works on different poses and it becomes handy

Practice and be confident on your sketches. Try not to get frustrated on the first try and instead redraw the sketch beside the first attempt instead of erasing them. This helps you realize what changes you can do while also building muscle memory(?)

I learned that body fat is distributed uniquely. In my understanding it does not automatically gives someone juggs just cause, depends on the body fat and how much is there.

Chibi method is just a tip, understand anatomy more through masters! Hope this helps

the last three times tara has appeared on leverage, someone has gotten held at the throat with an implied threat of death. now i’m not saying this is her fault per se, but three in a row? that’s becoming a pattern. she’s like a very very specific omen.

genuinely interesting phenomenon - TO ME - watching multiple people on multiple platforms make posts about lou being attention seeking for posting on social media when posting for attention and engagement is pretty standard on a show day for a show a person is working on.
