It takes a special kind of privileged asshole to complain about homeless people using public restrooms
Also the very concept of “restrooms are for paying customers” is classist bullshit that needs to be abolished! You shouldn’t have to pay money to be allowed to shit indoors!
Especially when shitting outdoors is illegal!
Not just illegal, but a really serious public health hazard. Shitting inside is certainly nicer than the alternative for the person doing it, but more importantly, it’s something we as a society all agreed to do so that we wouldn’t have to get cholera anymore.
My husband brought home a horrible pig. It came to the kitchen and began to eat everything on its way. I didn’t know how to get rid of this pig. I prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe and she made so that pig ate my husband’s dinner. Thanks to that he took it to the ranch of his loyal friend.
yes, if it was summer i would bury him but since it is winter cremation is probably for the best, and then i can scatter his ashes down by the dock, his favorite place to go for sniffs, he’d get so excited when we turned down that road.
any help is appreciated, it is looking like it could be between $60-150. paypal email is
They’re plus-size underwear. Put them on a plus-size model. The standard “we’re gonna show you a size 2 but trust us, they come in 3x too!” thing is bad enough, but this time they actually bothered to get a larger size of the product and then put it on a thin woman anyway for some reason.
This does nothing to demonstrate the cut or fit of the underwear i.e. what anyone shopping for clothes online needs to know before buying them. You’ve given plus-size people no information about your plus-size product – thus rendering your entire listing pretty much useless and making people take a shot in the dark – all because you don’t want to show a fat person in underwear.
If I’m buying plus-size underwear, it’s most likely because they are for me and I am a large person. Or possibly that I’m buying them as a gift. But if I’m choosing to buy underwear for another person, I probably have a relationship with that person that involves seeing them in said underwear. It’s not like I haven’t seen fat before. The fact that some people have more flesh is not offensive to me.
Stop marketing fat people clothing toward skinny people.
Showing how your product looks on the bodies that are going to be wearing it is more important than protecting the delicate sensibilities of judgmental fatphobes.

the worst is that often these are pictures actually taken from “will not rip no matter how much you stretch them” products and stolen for ads for other, low quality products who don’t want to take their own pictures. That famous ad with slim women pulling up their tights up to their chin? That was to advertise that the product would stretch and not rip. It was, originally, never intended to be about size. Idiots took the pictures and used them for plus-sized ads
Tl;dr: I’m a queer disabled black creative who recently lost her disability benefits due to an inaccuracy in SSA income claims. The appeals process is underway, in the meantime rent & bills must be paid. Hey, hire Jay!
Hi, I’m Jay Justice. I’m a cosplayer, activist, and editor. You may have seen my work in comics, video games & on the internet. I’m permanently disabled and have been since I was a child. I have an autoimmune disease that destroys healthy tissue because my immune system does not recognize those cells as ‘self’. This causes me to experience severe pain, damage, and increasingly reduced mobility. I went from using a cane to a manual wheelchair, to a motorized scooter as I became more ill.
I’ve always been a very hardworking, dedicated and determined person. I worked as much as I could, and still do. I eventually had to apply for social security disability benefits to help make ends meet. My goal for years has been to move into wheelchair accessible housing because it is very difficult as a disabled person to live in an inaccessible home. Eventually, I will be completely unable to walk or stand and I desperately need to live in a place where I can be independent and functional.
I was working towards this goal when disaster struck. As of January 10th 2018, my disability benefits were suspended due to erroneous data that stated my earnings last year to be over $20,000 greater than their actual amount. Working with this false information, the government has determined that I have to repay all of the benefits I received in the last 16 months. To repay this amount, they are withholding the entirety of my disability check for the foreseeable future.
I am working on the appeals process currently to prove this information to be incorrect, and to get my benefits reinstated. Unfortunately, I am told that the investigation will take time, and that is something I do not have. I have to pay for food, rent, bills and medical care. I was relying on this money and without it, I cannot survive. My immediate goals are to secure enough funds to cover mandatory needs.
How You Can Help
I am experienced in and looking for work, gigs or positions in the following areas. I can provide excellent references from prominent companies and individuals in: Cosplay and Conventions Promotion and Marketing Sensitivity Reading Editing Novels, Comic Books & Graphic Novels Community Organizing Social Media Management and Consulting
I have several upcoming convention appearances scheduled and I will have my handmade items available for purchase at PAX South, Farpoint Con, Katsucon and Haven Con. My online store ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/JayJusticeDesigns ) will be open at all other times but closed during conventions as I am unable to ship during those times. I will accept donations via Paypal, Ko-fi, and YouCaring. Thank you for your support, whether it’s shopping at my store or booth, sharing a post or making a donation. I appreciate you so much.
I would also like to take the opportunity to discuss a serious issue affecting the disabled community. As a disabled person on benefits, I cannot exceed the monthly income limit which is $1,170. That’s $14,040 annually. If I do earn this much by working, the SSA will deduct over $6,000 annually from my benefits. This leaves the maximum possible earnings per year for me at under $17,000.
The minimum income required for wheelchair accessible housing is at least $20,000/year.
Independent living for a disabled person feels like an impossible dream.
You’re penalized for working and doomed to crushing poverty if you’re unable to work.
We need to change this.
I am writing letters to my representatives to highlight this issue & discuss ways we can improve the lives of people with disabilities. A life above the poverty line should be accessible to all.
Deyshia Hargrave is an English teacher at Rene Rost Middle Schools in Vermilion
Parish, Louisiana; on Monday night, she attended a special meeting of
the local school board and, when called upon comment period, politely
asked why the board superintendants had voted themselves a raise while
the teachers in the school district have been subjected to a long-term
pay-freeze.
The superintendent ruled her question out of order and then a deputy
Abbeville city marshal who works in the parish schools dragged her out
of the room, put her in handcuffs and threw her to the floor while
chanting “stop resisting.”
The board of education says it won’t press charges against her. However,
the city is holding her on charges of “remaining after being forbidden”
and “resisting an officer.”
It gets better. The school board president can’t fucking handle himself in a goddamn interview, and was getting all pissy about the “threats and obscenities” his office has been getting thanks to “that stupid a** video” and whining about how “everyone wants to side with the poor little woman who got thrown out.”
Fucker actually says “She made a choice. She could have walked out and nothing would have happened.”
Of course, if you watch the video you will see that she was A) addressed by the board, B) still being spoken to by a board member at the same time the officer was trying to eject her, and C) she did in fact gather her things and walk out peacefully after the board member finished speaking to her.
If anyone else would like to give Vermilion School Board President Anthony Fontana’s office a call and maybe some fresh obscenities to complain about, their number is (337) 893-3973
So if this officer is working in the schools it makes me wonder how students are being treated.
