“We cant raise minimum wage bc rent will increase”
Stop using the passive voice. Say what will actually happen. Landlords will increase rent — a voluntary action, not a natural result. The fun thing about voluntary actions is that they can be legislated against. What IS a natural result is that when landlords raise rent, their tenants’ wages automatically devalue. Again, the solution here is to stop the voluntary choice from being a choice at all.
Landlords choosing to increase rent is the problem, not a natural result of the solution.
Thank some one who helped you get where you are.
I’d like to thank Thomas Sanders for providing the queer content my repressed soul needed throughout middle school and beyond.
Thank you Thomas Sanders @thatsthat24
Those peeps: You really shouldn't ship Alastor because it's harmful and disrespectful to aros, aces, and aroaces. I mean, why even put him in a romantic relationship when he isn't interested? Maybe you should do some research.:)))))
Aros, Aces, and Aroaces that date, are married, or have sex and freely ship Alastor with others:

Who the FUCK decided that insurance companies get to decide what’s medically necessary????????
❗VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ❗
Hello, my fellow fanwork creators. Sorry to interrupt, but there's an important information you all should pay attention to.
In short, everyone who is eligible to vote for the election of OTW (they run AO3 and Fanlore), should vote against the candidate Tiffany G. If you have donated over 10$ to AO3 in the past year, you are eligible to vote for yourself, and for us, for every Archive of Our Own user, especially the creators in China. This is a very serious question.
In Tiffany's statement, they want to build a more strict censorship policy in AO3. They also talked about limiting the adult content so this website would "have a better image to public". And they said China banned AO3 because of "pedophilic content" but as a Chinese myself, we all know it's just because my country prohibits any sex-related website. So basically, if this Tiffany succeed to get a seat of OTW, AO3 will face more strict censorship, limited adult content, and for we, for Chinese users, the result would be more catastrophic.
Tiffany G also mentioned that they work in a governmental organisation in China. Just consider why a pro-censorship, fandom newbie(Tiffany said it themself), and government staff wants to run for the election of an organisation that is holistically against their agenda. In my personal worst imagination, once they got the seat, they will immediately pack all the information of Chinese users in AO3 and report them to the Government. The consequence will be horrible.
Please, vote for yourself, for us, and for the future of our favourite fanwork site. If you are not an eligible voter and you wanna do something, please let more people receive this information. Thank you.

Or if none matter to you at all, it’s all okay
You decide what relationships in your life are the most important. And who you're closest too. You decide what types of relationships matter to you most.
There are only three types of ducktales characters
The science types with some big secret/dark past
The character whose entire personality is based off of some level of greed
And the daredevil adventurers with some wild insecurity.
Me having an insane attachment to shows/movies that I’ve never watched: “I’m a big fan”
Okay but can we talk about Clovis? Everyone always talks about what was wrong with other characters or like Hazel and Piper’s eyes or how Nico was outed, and yes, we should absolutely talk about those things, but no ones ever mentioned this? I’m always really upset about how his character was distilled down to “hahaha he sleeps a lot” and how it was used basically as a humorous thing.
Basically, Clovis was a character whose entire personality was a his disability, and it’s entire use was a bit of expose and comic relief.
I have chronic fatigue, and there is NOTHING funny about it. Not just in a “don’t make fun of disabilities way”, but also in a “it is just such a shitty way to live and if you don’t know what’s happening yet it’s terrifying”
When I was in sophomore year of high school, I developed hahsimoto’s, my endocrinologist, one of the top in the country, said I had “one of the worst cases she had ever seen”, for reference on the severity. I would wake up and go to school, often oversleeping and not getting to school until 10 or 11, sleep through the ride over, go to class, sleep through a lot of those, sleep through lunch, get home, immediately go to bed and often sleep through dinner and until the next morning. I could not stay awake. and I felt the fatigue through my whole body. Doing even the simplest tasks like walking ten feet or microwaving food exhausted me, and my thoughts were cloudy and forming comprehensive sentences was incredibly difficult. I had no idea what was going on at the time, and I was terrified.
I got diagnosed and put on synthroid, so it’s not so bad, but I also have EDS other issues, so chronic fatigue will always be a part of my life. It’s not nearly so bad anymore, but it’s still an obstacle I face everyday and is incredibly difficult, especially as part of an “invisible disability”, and having Rick Riordan use that as a joke is just really annoying.
Also, can you imagine what it would have been like for him as a child? To have such incredibly sever chronic fatigue, it would have made it near impossible for him to do basically /anything/ as a child, and he probably had a ton of trouble in school - if he even made it to school.
The biggest thing, though, is that he would have no idea why this was happening. He probably would have been shuttled from doctor to doctor, given test after test after test, none of them yielding any results. No one would know what was causing it, because it wasn’t due to anything medical, it was because of his dad. Can you imagine how hard that would have been?
Chronic illness isn’t a joke.
I love all things frog, mushroom, rainbow high… I have Ehlers danlos syndrome and use both a rollator and a cane. Enby that is bad at making friends but likes to have them. I adore many cartoons but haven’t seen even more.
