Strength represents inner strength, confidence, calm willpower, compassion, and inner peace. Reversed, it indicates fear, self-doubt, weakness, vulnerability, and lack of conviction.

URGENT FUNDRAISING FOR BREAST CANCER TREATMENT

I am genuinely sorry for this, but my sister is dying. If I could only ask for your permission one by one, I would, but I am afraid of the possibility that Tumblr may consider our plea as spam. Also, if any of you want an even more elaborate explanation about her medical condition, kindly look into this account's pinned post or you can message me directly because Tumblr flagged the pinned post as "sensitive content" after attaching proof of how extremely disfigured her right arm is. At times, it is also being kept hidden so not everyone can received notification even after being repeatedly tagged.

(And here is the direct link to the fundraiser.)

That is why despite the almost 14k notes, I decided to make another post/an update if you may because we are beyond desperate and we have not received any help as of lately.

My older sister's health has declined drastically since last week of December that is why I took over this account as per her request. We don't want to resort to asking for monetary assistance online but we still don't have the funds to get her through. As I have mentioned above, you can look into this account's pinned post to see how deformed her right hand was (if you needed the not blurred one, please let me know because I cannot possibly upload the actual picture because her account might end up getting taken down).

The entirety of her right arm is not only swollen, but blood kept seeping out of her knuckles, her palm, and her elbow. Protruding tumors/swelling have reached both of her breast, too, and is affecting her shoulder/shoulder blades and even her spine. Please reach out to me if you want to see more proof/health updates because I cannot post the photos here for they are somewhat too graphic. There's a lot of blood loss.

And although her arm was recently amputated, she is still under critical care and is currently battling numerous health complications.

If you could, please take some time to read her pinned post—please do. If you cannot donate, a reblog will be highly appreciated still. We need all the help we could get. I, recently just turned 18, and am only working part-time jobs trying to keep our family afloat, and what I am earning is not enough. The hospital could stop providing treatment at any time if we cannot put together the amount we owe them and the amount needed to outsource some of the meds that their in-house pharmacy cannot supply. It is a matter of life and death so I am begging all of you to please consider helping us. Help us get through this, please.

If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. We are just desperate, and have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer something in return other than express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much.

good smut is really a character study and that is final. i need it to be about vulnerability i need it to be about trust or lack thereof and most of all i need it to be emotional agony. thats what sex is for

I get so bummed in fics when Cas introduces himself to Dean as Cas and not Castiel. That’s the name DEAN gave him!!!! Not Gabe, not Hannah, not anyone else, DEAN!! Dean goes “oh I’m gonna be sayin this a lot gotta cut it down” and then REMOVED THE “OF GOD” FROM THE NAME OF AN ANGEL??? Cas coming to terms with that new identity and how it ties him to dean and not his family is soooooooooo juicy.

[womansplainer69]

Nothing, and I mean nothing sucks as much as being the one singular (1) person in a fandom. There's one author person who has written the 3 out of the total 3 fics written about this show on ao3. Its truly trying times.

Hello friends, I am back with more reading recommendations for your agonies! Next up we have the long awaited and much requested Sad Boat Fiction list. As with all of my lists, this is NOT exhaustive and there WILL be great books left off, and also you may or may not like these books! I only rec things that I've personally enjoyed or that come highly recommended by trusted friends, but taste in books is incredibly subjective, especially with fiction. If I missed your favorite, please add it in the comments or drop it in my DMs!

Now that I'm feeling more settled in my new job, I will hopefully have a lot more time to make book lists and do more virtual Readers' Advisory. I have lists in the works for women in polar exploration and companion reads for the HBO War series, but if there's something else you would love to see, please send me a message!

Have all you fans of Polar exploration and the supernatural read this fantastic story by Michelle Paver? I’ve read it several times, it’s such an enjoyable read. It’s got all the ingredients: endless night, bitter cold, attractive yet emotionally unavailable men, huskies and a creeping horrible something out there….

Even better, @mildredmost has a great fic picking up where the story leaves off and capturing the mood of the novel exactly (spoiler alert: don’t read the fic first!)

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
