Month: August 2018

thefingerfuckingfemalefury:

Apple: Literally design their phones to become an expensive toxic brick within a few years

Gas Companies: Actively work to prevent anything being done to develop, promote or in any way make green energy sources widely known of available or affordable to anyone because slowly murdering the planet makes them millions of dollars

Big Companies: Literally dump toxic crap where it will cause serious harm to the earth and the species on it

Governments: Clearly what we need to do to save the earth is make people pay money to use carrier bags so they can actually carry their shopping home

AND BAN DRINKING STRAWS

Yeah so I hate to do this but I just got home and checked my emails and I’ve been sanctioned by Universal Credit because the work I took cash in hand has been reported by my employer to inland revenue. So my benefits for this month have been penalised by 50%, I was already in my overdraft for about £40 so my bank balance is £51 after I bought a train ticket home today.

For some context, I’m training as a teaching assistant in college and volunteer 3 days a week in a High School doing SEN classroom support. I love my work but as I’m an unqualified volunteer I have to rely on Universal Credit for an income. I was doing some cash in hand work in a cafe to make ends meet but I’ve been rumbled and sanctioned. 

It would be amazing if people could share this post and if they can afford it chip in a bit of money to tide me through the next month. I next get my UC in on the 18th of September so I could do with a hand lol.

Thanks so much friends.

So, hey: my life currently sucks. I’m saving up money to move out of where I am now, but it’s a slow process (hard to work from an abusive home, tbh). If you want to help out (or just want a reading), I’m your witch. You can see my previous free readings right here. 

WHAT YOU GET
> Someone with 15 years of experience in divination 
> A choice among tarot, Lenormand, and oracle decks
> Write-ups which usually hover around 1k words for 3 cards
> Pictures of your reading 

HOW IT WORKS
> Contact me (via Tumblr or at liadine.liadine@gmail.com) with your question(s)
> I’ll reply with my PayPal address, deck suggestions, and the planned spread
> Drop in your payment and confirm your deck choice, and I’ll have your reading back to you in 24 hours! 
> Then I’ll probably cry a little with gratitude 

Even if you aren’t interested or can’t afford to help out, please consider signal boosting. You’ll have my eternal gratitude, and on September 1st I’ll choose a random reblogger to receive a 5-card reading.

Kids who sought out sexual/romantic interactions with adults…

  • because they were lonely and needed human interaction/attention
  • or had emotional needs not being met
  • because they thought it was the price of being treated with care
  • or because it was a way to understand/reenact/overwrite/escape previous trauma
  • because they thought it was normal
  • or because they had picked up the message that this was how to be daring and cool and sexy/mature
  • or because they didn’t really understand how it would affect them
  • because they felt like they deserved it
  • or because they thought there wasn’t a big difference and “age is just a number”
  • or because being sexual around adults was the only time people said nice things to them or seemed to like them or notice them
  • or for any other reason

… still did not deserve the abuse they suffered.

Kids who initiate flirtation with adults still don’t deserve abuse.

Adults who aren’t abusers will not take advantage of a kid’s crush or advances. It’s the adult’s responsibility to set clear boundaries and enforce them. It’s an adult’s responsibility to not become sexually or romantically involved with a child. Adults who do are abusers.

Children did not cause those adults to become abusers. Children cannot tempt nonabusers into becoming abusers. Children are never responsible for adults deciding to abuse.

Even if you feel like you made it really easy for them to abuse you, being vulnerable to abuse around a nonabuser doesn’t result in abuse. Your vulnerability wasn’t the cause of the abuse. Their choices were.

It’s not your fault, it was never your fault.

It’s my grandpa’s birthday next week and he said “I don’t want to be 85” and my grandmother, his wife of 59 and a half years, said “well your only alternative is to die”, I can’t believe how affectionate they are

I was having lunch with them today and my grandpa started throwing napkins at my grandmother, and she balled it up and looked all set to throw it back but then she put it down and said “I will not throw it because I was brought up properly, you were dragged” she has spent ¾ of her life with this man
