trails-of-tears:

Hi! My name is Erica “Bro” y Media or Doddle and I know have another post going around with my commissions but I am reposting since it is slowing down and i’m redo my pricing and just everything about it in general. I am also opening up my nude commissions too. Some back story about this, I am trying to move out of a abusive home life and I am trying to stay out of FSSW too because it been demetimed to my mental health and I get sick often – partly due to the stress of being the peacekeeper, my school and medical debt and my house is not the best living contiondtion. I am a really disabled mentally, physically and neuoguailly mix race latin and southeast native american and it is really hard for me to keep and hold down regular jobs along with the fact a lot of people will not hire me due to reasons listed before and where I live at not many people want to hire from due to the reapation it has, along with the fact several of my past abusers and school bullies who assaulted me work or visit these places too. Also it been really hard to save money because I have to buy my own goeriecies/food, help my parents out or get my money stolen, and I have to keep up with my own bills since my parents are also struggling and I am the only one out of my siblings who actually working some at the moment. I Have a lot of debt from quitting school and I owe the school over a thousand (1,000+) for quitting and them starting the legal process to get their money back – even though I do not have any money. I also owe the hospital over two-thousand dollars (2,000+) due to finally getting my asthma deconized and I was in and out of the hospital with bronchitis and monochitas from may till just last month and I am getting sick again. My paypal is paypal.me/ericamedia and my wishlist links is here (x) These are my commissions at the moment, I might some more later!

Astrology – These tend to take a while to complete. I been studying astrology since i was young and started taking it completely serious within the last couple of years and I am extremely knowledgeable about many subjects about the stars and it been my special interstants on and off all of my life really. I take this very serious and I study and stay a student every change I can

Full Natal Charts – Forty plus dollars ($40+) These are very limited and they take me a WHILE to completely. They are extremely detailed and I try to go over everything I can with these.

General Full Natal Charts – Twenty-five dollars ($25) These are not as limited as the FULL full natal charts as they are not AS detailed as them. They are general descriptions of everything I see in your natal chart.

“First Glances” – Fifthteen dollars ($15) This one is for three (3) to five (5) aspects, signs, houses, or planets you can pick them out or you can let me pick out the ones I see espilley for uniqueness if you want. These are detailed and do not take me as long to completely, if you want to know about more than five (5) aspects but do not want a full natal chart you can add on more aspects for two-fifty an aspect ($2.50)

Mupitable Tranists – Twenty to Twenty-Five Dollars ($20-25) I do six (6) max for these as I said astrology is my passion but it takes a while to complete, but with the transits I have to completely fast, these are limited too.

Some Transitions –  Ten dollars ($10) I do three (3) max for these and the above goes with this one. Not as limited as the Mupitabled.

Compatibility – Twenty-five dollars ($25) These are not as detailed as my others, I love to do compatibility but at the same time I can not fully encouraged theses because a lot of newbies and people not as serious into astrology take them a bit too serious so I leave these more general. These can be good for parents-children, siblings, romantic and planctioc pattereans, even celebrities because let’s admit it, it’s fun to see!

Tarot Readings – I admit I am still a newbie to Tarots but I put my all in it. I love doing tarot readings but they can be draining, I offer my tarots as cheap as I can!

One (1) Card Readings – A dollar fifty ($1.50)

Three (3) Card Readings – Fifthteen dollars ($15)

Six (6) Card Readings – Twenty-one dollars ($21)

Art Commissions – I do not have a lot of my recent work and I admit I am a bit slower with my art commissions than I like to be so I only offer clean linework and simple colorings. I am good with fashion models, simple simple simple scenes, some potatoes

Full Body Clean Sketches – Five ($5)

Full Body Simple Colored – Ten ($10)

Poritions, Simple – fifthteen ($15)

Specialized Readings – Vary, direct message me and we can talk and figure it out!

Nudes – I am going to admit, I hate these and I charge extra due to this being my main. I also do not do custom clips or videos, only role-playing and pictures because I do not have the wifi or ability to do anything else. I expect the full amount of money to be taken in account with these.

Role-Playings- I often go over with these – Fifthteen minutes (15) -thirty (3$30) dollars

 Twenty minutes (20) – forty ($40) dollars

 Thirty minutes (30) – sixty ($60) dollars

Custom pictures – I do not have many props or outfits. I charge the minual of seven ($7) a piece

So I figured where I want to go and do when I leave so yea ls help out or buy sme commissions please!

Walmart quietly lays off thousands of workers after bonus announcement

rcmmacgregor:

Thursday morning, Walmart had a flashy announcement: Thanks to corporate tax cuts, it was giving its employees bonuses of up to $1,000. Walmart and President Trump pointed to the announcement as proof that the corporate tax cuts are really a boon to working-class Americans.

Great news, as a result of our TAX CUTS & JOBS ACT! pic.twitter.com/SLvhLxP3Jl

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2018

This announcement, as ThinkProgress reported earlier, was much more complicated than it first sounds.

Walmart employees are eligible for the $1,000 bonus only if they’ve worked at the company for 20 years. Most Walmart employees, of course, haven’t worked there that long. Those employees will receive a smaller bonus based on seniority. Walmart didn’t explain exactly how the sliding scale will work but said the total value of the bonuses will be $400 million. Walmart has about 2.1 million employees, which works out to be an average bonus of about $190.

The one-time bonus Walmart announced this morning amounts to just over 2 percent of the total value of the tax cut to the company.

In the fiscal year 2017, Walmart had pre-tax profits of about $20.5 billion and paid an effective federal tax rate of around 30 percent. With a new corporate tax rate of 21 percent, the corporate tax cut is worth at least $1.85 billion to Walmart every year. Since this cut is permanent, the true benefits to Walmart will grow much larger over time. But it’s safe to say that, over 10 years, this corporate tax cut will be worth over $18 billion to Walmart.

But now it appears the announcement was timed carefully to cover for thousands of unannounced layoffs.

Business Insider reports that today, Walmart is abruptly closing numerous Sam’s Clubs stores across the United States. In some cases “employees were not informed of the closures prior to showing up to work on Thursday” and “learned that their store would be closing when they found the store’s doors locked and a notice announcing the closure.”

Sam’s Club shutdown? Employees at this S Loop store tell me they showed up to work and were told store is closed effective today. Sign on door says the same thing. Hearing other stores also affected. Waiting for answers from parent company, Walmart #khou11 pic.twitter.com/RtbY7EhiIK

Walmart confirmed the abrupt closings and offered an explanation of sorts on Twitter. “Closing clubs is never easy,” the company said through its verified corporate account.

After a thorough review of our existing portfolio, we’ve decided to close a series of clubs and better align our locations with our strategy. Closing clubs is never easy and we’re committed to working with impacted members and associates through this transition.

— Sam’s Club (@SamsClub) January 11, 2018

Business Insider identified at least 68 stores across the country that closed today. Three of the stores are located in Hurricane ravaged Puerto Rico. More stores are slated to be closed in the coming days.

Walmart’s behavior is part of a pattern of corporate misdirection related to the GOP tax cuts. AT&T and Comcast both announced bonuses for their employees while also laying off thousands.


While Trump talks about a “jobs boom,” job growth was slower in 2017 than in any year since 2010.

This was my actual favorite part of working in a theater. People would come in and use a string of words no human had ever uttered and I’d have to be like “ohhhhkay let’s parse this out.”

When we had Moonlight:
Moonshine, Moonrise, Midnight, Nightlight, Nighttime, Twilight

My favorite in recent memory, though:
“The Big Sick” = “The Fat Bad”

I’m reblogging this again because I remembered my absolute favorite moment this happened at my theatre.

These three elderly women came in and bought three tickets to Justice League. About 20 minutes later they come out of their theatre and ask “Didn’t we buy tickets to that Thurgood Marshall movie (it was simply titled “Marshall”)?“ These old old women believed that the movie about Thurgood Marshall was titled "Justice League.” Unfortunately it had already come and gone at out theatre so we refunded them but I still can’t get over it.

I may have read this incorrectly, but you wrote a post where you talked about how you shouldn’t force an autistic person (especially a child) to do something they don’t need to do. At one point you seemed to imply that meltdowns could cause migraines. Is that true?

agenderharleyquinn:

Nope – I have never mentioned migraines in any post. I do not know anything about them and would not want to mislead people.
Meltdowns CAN cause brain damage, if part of the meltdown involves hitting the head against things (even ‘soft’ things can cause microdamage that builds up over repeated assaults).
The stress of meltdowns is severe and can cause all the same things that any extreme stress would cause a people.

But migraines is out of my experience – I doesn’t has them sos never asked or researched them so is not commenting on them.

(hope its ok that i add to this)
I often get headaches after i have a ment down. I always just assumed that it was a mixture of emotional exhaustion and dehydration from crying. I would say it would not be too much of a leap to say that they could trigger a migraine as well.
I personally have never gotten a migraine from them tho, and i do get chronic migraines

I often get what feel a lot like postictal headaches. Though mine do tend to be the migrainey kind, there are some differences and I’ve gotten better at distinguishing. Used to just assume I was getting two different types of migraines, before the seizures were recognized. (Complicated relationships between migraine and epilepsy anyway, apparently.)

For me at least, post-meltdown feels a decent bit like post-seizure anyway. Including the headaches feeling very similar. Pretty certain they are meltdowns and not seizures, btw.

No idea how common any of this might be, though a lot of us do seem to be dealing with some combination of these things. But, I was interested to see someone else mention migraine-type aftereffects in connection to meltdowns.

So today is like “good news/bad news” day

vaspider:

Bad News:

  • @dadhoc lost his job (they fired a bunch of ppl, whee)
  • I can’t even pay cash to pick up my meds bc there’s a new law in PA that they can’t even let you pay cash for your meds if the insurance requires a prior authorization so I’m facing down withdrawal if I don’t get an emergency supply like now
  • Davos got out of the yard and was missing for a while but we got him back but my nerves are shot

Good News:

  • Our synagogue is going to help us get our repairs on our house done so it’s all safe again 
  • I’m teaching at my synagogue starting on 1/28, it’s a paid gig, my first class is on gender diversity and queerness in Torah
  • My rabbi and I had a really long good talk today, and he basically said he views the hate people have given me as proof of my goodness as a human being, bc ‘bad people are drawn to hate good people,’ which is the most refreshing take I have ever gotten on internet hate, and he knows me better than internet randos so I’ll take his opinion on whether or not I’m good
  • He thinks I should be a rabbi and I agree
  • @mistresskabooms and I are sharing a 5 lb bag of Sour Patch Kids courtesy of @gallusrostromegalus, and she has a new space heater for her room and I just filled my stomach with hummus and GF crackers. 

So basically my family is critically broke but things are gonna get fixed. I’m super fucking stressed, but what else is new?

As much as I hate this, I’m gonna say again: 

If you like what I do on the internets, and you’d like to support me and my family and make sure @mistresskabooms​ and @dadhoc​ and our pups are fed and clothed and sheltered, please consider:

Supporting me on Patreon! $1 gets you instant access to multiple chapters of multiple queer fictions, a bunch of short stories, some queer theory related rambling, and more.

Buying me a coffee! I like coffee.

Donating to my PayPal. I pay bills with this money and use it to get to doctor’s appointments and buy supplies.

Buying something from my Etsy. I’ve added a bunch of new stuff, including the new Queer Love shirts, some Star Wars and Doctor Who stuff: patches, bags, t-shirts.

Or just boosting this post. Thanks, friends. ❤

Also, pro tip: any company that claims to care about the people producing their food? Well, maybe they do, maybe they don’t, but they sure don’t care about the people shipping and handling their food. Kind bars, for example? Fair trade ingredients, but the warehouses they’re shipped through aren’t climate controlled in summer and have bare concrete floors. Or the ones with chocolate are shipped through refrigerated warehouses where half the necessary tasks for processing them can’t be done with gloves on. (At least, not without way more experience than most temp workers have. I could put shipping labels on boxes while wearing gloves now, but I couldn’t then.) Or the tasks could and should be automated but aren’t, because it’s less expensive to pay a temp than to keep a machine in good repair. But despite all the cruelty involved in shipping the ingredients to the factory and shipping the bars to your grocery store (never mind at the factory itself), these granola bars are sold as the humane, fair-trade choice, because Unilever pays the farmers a little bit more for the cashews or cranberries, and probably still far less than what they’re really worth.

Warehouses are liminal spaces. No one thinks about them. They store product and reroute it, often repackage it; they rarely add anything to what the consumer perceives as the product itself. They also employ millions of people, usually at minimum wage or less than 150% of it. (If the starting wage is above $10/hr in my area, it means the working conditions are especially bad.) It’s a very hard environment to work in, even at the “good” ones. It destroys your clothes and your body. Some workers are union (particularly UPS), but the majority are not and many are temps.

If you publicly care about labor rights, please do not leave warehouses out of your activism. I have never seen an article that talks about warehouses as their own entity, only retail, food service, and factories. A few articles about Amazon, but those act like the problems are unique to Amazon, not every company that has “logistics” or “distribution” or “solutions” in its name and large buildings with loading docks. We break our feet and our backs so you can have your groceries or birthday presents. Don’t forget us.

could executive dysfunction be like perseverance and not being able to tear yourself away from something to do something else?

actuallyadhd:

From September 24 2017

Yes, this is hyperfocus and inertia. Inertia is a type of executive dysfunction where you are stuck doing whatever you’re doing until something happens to jolt you out of it so you can do something different. It gets its name from Newton’s first law of physics, which states that an object at rest will remain at rest, or an object moving in a straight line will continue in that straight line unless it is acted upon by an external force. (Source) Hyperfocus is the part where you’re focused on something and not really aware of anything else.
