Hey btw, here's a piece of life advice:
If you know what you'd have to do to solve a problem, but you just don't want to do it, your main problem isn't the problem itself. Your problem is figuring out how to get yourself to do the solution.
If your problem is not eating enough vegetables, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make vegetables stop being yucky". If your problem is not getting enough exercise, the problem you should be solving is "how do I make exercise stop sucking ass". You're not supposed to just be doing things that are awful and suck all the time forever, you're supposed to figure out how to make it stop being so awful all the time.
I used to hate wearing sunscreen because it's sticky and slimy and disgusting and it feels bad and it smells bad, so I neglected to wear it even if I needed to. Then I found one that isn't like that, and doesn't smell and feel gross. Problem solved.
There is no correct way to live that's just supposed to suck and feel bad all the time. You're allowed to figure out how to make it not suck so bad.
Alright here it is. Hi I’m kihnindewa (black + native + lgbt + disabled) and many of u know I’m continuously having a bad time lately. I just missed a week of work bc I’ve been struggling immensely with my mental health & substance use issues. I’m also trying to save up to move in with my girlfriend in October.
I would really really appreciate some help getting those missed wages back. I was really lucky that my boss allowed me to have the time off and I had no choice, I did not leave my bed for like 4 days & honestly idek if I’m really in shape to go back tomorrow, but losing out on the money is potentially catastrophic to our plans. If I don’t make up for it somehow, I will probably fall behind on my own necessities (again) much less be able to save for the move. I’ll be missing about $350, but anything helps.
Thanks so much for everything. Here’s a couple pics of me and my gf on one of our rare trips to see each other 👍🏽♥️

tl;dr: I need help paying rent, bills, and grocery shopping. Any help I could get would be absolutely amazing and I would be so grateful.
Hi! My name is Mordred and I recently lost my job during a mental breakdown. Since then I have been suffering from compound issues of long covid, chronic fatigue syndrome (something I've been dealing with since before covid), long term ankle and back pains from injuries, not to mention depression. Its become really hard managing life while suffering through these and I had hoped that living off my savings and focusing on my health it'd all get better. But, as my savings are drying up and I'm still suffering, I still have rent, bills, groceries, and even medical bills to pay. I hate to do this but I'm genuinely having such a hard time here and I really need help. If I could possibly get any kind of donations to help me through this, I'd be so thankful.

Thank you for spreading this and helping me get seen, and endless love and thanks if you send anything.
Hey, rent is coming up plus I have a $55 doctor bill to pay, plus I need to buy some new bras and glasses (though I'm pretty sure insurance will cover the majority of glasses). If I could get any help for this I'd be incredibly thankful.
Hi Anni, how are you?
I was thinking about the other vampires in Marcel's coven especially Dietrich and his scar, and wanted to ask if you think about telling their history in the comic or in some kind of spin off.
Thank you for your amazing art, and lots of love from Portugal <3
Hey there!
Nah I haven't really thought of any of the backstories of Joa's vamp fam. I'll leave it to the readers to have their own headcanons, or if they wanna write fanfics.
Honestly I just drew the scar on Dietrich and thought it looked cool, but idk where or why he got it, lol. If that was why he became a vampire, the scar wouldn't be there because it would've healed. But he probably would be dead from it otherwise.... Who knows, lol!

So things have taken a slight turn for the worse, and while the shelter staff is amazing and our caseworker is doing everything she can for us, we just need to get out of a toxic environment and get into housing as soon as we can. The low-income housing fell through (we don't make enough money for a three-person household, even though we could cover the rent), so tomorrow I'm going through the list I got from the Oceanside housing office and calling everyone. I did talk to a lovely person at a complex in Fallbrook about a place we could afford but she said check every week because there may be an opening if a military family has to leave on short notice.
A friend of mine is going to cover most of the last of the loans for us (around $1500) on the 27th or so so we'll have more money to put toward moving costs if a place opens up. I know I have one $140 loan payment, one $125 loan payment and my mom has a $210 payment we need covered, plus we owe the cable company $163 for equipment we have in storage and can't get to until we get housing.
I'm setting a goal for $1000; anything else will go for apartment application fees and food once my food stamps run out (we get three meals a day but Lena is gone from, like, 6 AM to 9 PM and misses them so I send her to Starbucks with food).
$1000/$1200
Please donate if you can.

Thanks to you all.
UPDATE (01/10/2023)
hey guys, could log in on this account to ask for you help.
The owner of the house that I live asked me to move out bc was sold. I have ZERO ways to do this right now without help, I’m having some health problems for a couple of months already, and I have help from a friend to see a doc, but the moving will completely shake my life, specially this month.
28th is my birthday, so, if you can and feel in your heart the you can give me a gift, you’ll, in fact, saving me from a lot of trouble, including loose a roof over my head, ill as I am. Already have some other houses in sight, but they’re asking for deposit of three months of rent, and I’ll need to pay for the moving, like a truck to come to pick up my stuff.
The price of the deposit will depend on how much I’ll be able to have from you guys, bc the least expensive is 950BRL.
I’ll try a gofund.me page, but idk if I’ll be able to do by myself, since I’m from brazil.
Pls donate if you can.
And reblog this post. Much love and wish me luck ❤️
Please donate if you can. The conversion rate to dollars / Euros is around 5:1.
URGENT UPDATE: I found a house that the owner is asking for 2 months in advance. The rent will be 1200BRL, so, 2400BRL. In € or $ this money can help me to rent this one, which is close to mine.
I’m in serious fibromyalgia crisis since the landlord asked for the house, but yesterday started to get unbelievably impossible even to breath. My legs and back… is like I’ve got hit by a car and feel. Everything hurt. The bottom of my skull is giving me a constant pressure that makes me feel headache 24/7. I’m alone, can barely eat, and I am think I’m getting depressed again. Please guys help me if you can. Anything can make a huge difference. Sending love. ♥️
Taís e-mailed me, she needs money for food. Please donate if you can.
When Joa moved to France after his death Marcel and his underlings had to teach him French. Joa wasn’t particularly excited to being teached, but after a while he was able to speak French more or less fluently.
(I on the other hand don’t know anything except some basic words. OTL I googled some French phrases and found this nifty site, that’s where the phrase in the first panel is from.)

Or, you know, support your local Frog Scientist by buying the Mantella baroni leggings he sells on RedBubble:
Do Now: (5 min)
Browse the very real Mark Sherz RedBubble store inspired by the Frogs of Madagascar and respond to this assignment with a list of at least three items you would wish to own.
Class Discussion: (5-10 min)
Why would a genuine research scientist who is popular on Tumblr be motivated to open a RedBubble store? Discuss advantages and potential pitfalls this could create for them. Can you think of any historical precedent? How has the modern phenomenon of influencer culture impacted the way we think of scientists today?
Main Activity: (remaining time)
Individual or Partner work.
Pretend you are already established research scientists. Choose a field of study such as biology, astronomy, psychology, etc. Then pick a specific area of research such as virology, exoplanet discovery, etc. You are encouraged to use the Index of Branches of Science (Wikipedia) to find a very specific field of scientific research.
Fill in the accompanying Google Form to figure out what you are known for online and how much of a following you have as an influencer. Be creative!
On paper, begin brainstorming your merchandise. Use drawings and written descriptions to bring your inventory to life. You can do market research as well by looking into similar online stores by other scientific influencers.
Extension:
How would you market your merchandise to the public? Devise a series of ads for Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or God forbid Tumblr.
This is one of the more surreal experiences of being on tumblr tbh

For all its dumbfuckery, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is genuinely the closest a film adaptation of the Arthurian mythos has ever gotten to capturing how deeply weird the source material really is.
Ok but I think we're all just fundamentally thinking about walrus/fairy surprise in two different ways. Behold:
We're all just looking at it from two different angles here.
