I'm Being Evicted

I live in an apartment attached to an old home, which is empty. We have somewhere between 400-600 sq ft and that all. We also have a lot of stuff in the apartment, as this is my husband and I’s first apt together.

The other night, an electrical fire took out one of our wall sockets and half the electricity in the house is out. There was nothing near the socket, and the same things have been plugged into it for years

We call our landlord, who calls an electrician. The electrician says the wiring is fucked up to start with, needs redone. It was done in the 40’s. Landlord doesn’t care, says it’s our fault anyway and tells up we’re basically animals for having so much stuff and says he’s evicting us.

I know there are legal resources I can look into since this is shady as fuck, but in the meantime, I still have to move me, my husband and our terrier to…somewhere we can afford. Which is not really anywhere.

So to my RP friends, I’m sorry if I seem out of it, or don’t reply quickly. I’ve just been hit by hard times and I have to get us to somewhere safe by next month this time. Please be patient with me.

Some asked if I had a PayPal - you can find it using meganmchaffey@gmail.com

I actually have 2 storage units already, one where I live, and one in my hometown from when we sold my dads place. So I can store some stuff. I can’t legally live there though, that’s on the contract, or I totally would be.

I need to figure out what legal issues are even at work here. We are on a month to month lease, but landlord has not been able to produce said lease for 5 years now.

I’m so stressed, I just wanna cry. I’m sorry.

Husband made a gofundme:http://ift.tt/2uxKEWC

I wish I was better at tumblr moniker and could make a link or whatever. I’m sure you’re all tired of hearing of this by now, but this is kind of my life.

We needed to stay here through Sept 2018 just so I could finish a bankruptcy and open up enough money for us to move, but that’s not happening.

Updates: I’m typing this by the side of the road. On top of everything, my car died today. The tow truck won’t be here for an hour, and the police basically refused to come wait with me, regardless of traffic.

This is my only transport, my only way to work and the only way for me to support my family. And now I can’t do that. I’m losing everything without a car.

I don’t know what I’m gonna do guys.

I’ve never been so scared.

Hey guys, I hate to be a bug about this, but these folks are in a dire situation. To recap, their landlord is blaming them for damage caused by sub-par wiring in their apartment and they’re being evicted. Just now, their only method of transit died by the side of the road. 

The best way to help their situation right now is money for:

legal fees to fight their landlord

fees for moving (to haul their stuff and also a deposit on a new place)

car repairs

Here is the Gofundme page again if you missed it. 

These folks are awesome, they make great art and they’ve made a lot of sacrifices to do the work that they love. Please consider a donation. If you cannot donate, please boost.

This is a really helpful page in my CBT textbook for tackling some of the maladaptive beliefs we often hold. The first column lists the rules and assumptions we often may tell ourselves, while the second column is a more functional belief. Just thought I would pass this along. Be kind to yourselves, friends❤

Oh my god, number 5. And 6, and 7.

I frigging needed that.

Failure is not a permanent condition.

The text on the image:

Maladaptive belief:  If I don’t do as well as others, I’m a failure.
More functional belief: If I don’t do as well as others, I’m not a failure, just human.

Maladaptive belief:  If I ask for help, it’s a sign of weakness.
More functional belief: If I ask for help when I need it, I’m showing good problem-solving abilities (which is a sign of strength).

Maladaptive belief:  If I fail at work/school, I’m a failure as a person.
More functional belief: If I fail at work/school, it’s not a reflection of my whole self. (My whole self includes how I am as a friend, daughter, sister, relative, citizen, and community member, and my qualities of kindness, sensitivity to others, helpfulness, etc.) Also, failure is not a permanent condition.

Maladaptive belief:  I should be able to excel at everything I try.
More functional belief: I shouldn’t be able to excel at something unless I am gifted in that area (and am willing and able to devote considerable time and effort toward it at the expense of other things.

Maladaptive belief:  I should always work hard and do my best.
More functional belief: I should put in a reasonable amount of effort much of the time.

Maladaptive belief:  If I don’t live up to my potential, I have failed.
More functional belief: If I do less than my best, I have succeeded perhaps 70%, 80%, or 90%; not 0%.

Maladaptive belief:  If I don’t work hard all the time, I’ll fail.
More functional belief: If I don’t work hard all the time, I’ll probably do reasonably well and have a more balanced life.

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

These are called vocables, a form of non-lexical utterance - that is, wordlike sounds that aren’t strictly words, have flexible meaning depending on context, and reflect the speakers emotional reaction to the context rather than stating something specific. They also include uh-oh! (that’s not good!), uh-huh and mm-hmm (yes), uhn-uhn (no), huh? (what?), huh… (oh, I see…), hmmn… (I wonder… / maybe…), awww! (that’s cute!), aww… (darn it…), um? (excuse me; that doesn’t seem right?), ugh and guh (expressions of alarm, disgust, or sympathy toward somebody else’s displeasure or distress), etc.

Every natural human language has at least a few vocables in it, and filler words like “um” and “erm” are also part of this overall class of utterances. Technically “vocable” itself refers to a wider category of utterances, but these types of sounds are the ones most frequently being referred to, when the word is used.

So since Mark Hamill is the king of voicing amazing evil characters, I have the headcanon that after the Battle of Endor part of Luke’s job for the alliance was making voice calls to various moffs and other ranking imperials pretending to be a recording of the Emperor saying THEY were in charge of the Empire if he died and letting the infighting speed up the imperial collapse.

Luke: Urgh, Leia, do I really have to do this?

Leia: I’m sorry Luke, you’re just too good at sounding evil.

Luke: Fiiiiine. *puts on incredibly evil voice* Hello, Grand Moff…

Han: *whispers* That is just freaky.

Chewie: *nods*

This is the best headcanon I’ve ever heard in my life

Game of Thrones/Fantastic Beasts Gramander

Game of Thrones/Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them gramander fusion idea:

Where Newt is the most unlikely Targaryen ever, and Graves is a Baratheon who cannot believe he fell in love with this gentle, smiling man.

On further reflection - perhaps Newt is from another Great House? However, said Great House did have a Targaryean marry in at some point, and Newt is a throwback to that blood. It would explain both his coloration and his absolute fascination with dragons.

…I’d like to think that he’s a Tully, with distinctly Targaryean traits. Who manages to attract the attention (and affections) of Graves, a Baratheon of Storm’s End.

I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.

So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.

Yay prompts! If it strikes your fancy, how about something like small Law learning sign language for

via http://ift.tt/2uiTIPR:
(AN: I know very little of deaf/mute culture or of sign language; it is not my intent to misrepresent/insult anyone, and I earnestly apologize if I have accidentally done so)

It’s not sentiment. It’s practicality. Law glares at the flash cards in his hands, eyes flickering to one side as he double-checks the battered book he had ‘borrowed’ from the local library.

The gestures are unexpectedly hard - not in terms of physical strain, but in their sheer unfamiliarity. Law has to think about each movement, and that translates into hesitation and an inadvertent clumsiness - he doesn’t like it. It’s a little like learning to write - or so he tells himself; building up muscle memory is the hardest part of the entire endeavor, and Law doesn’t particularly care for it.

Also, there’s the fact that Corazon actually doesn’t know sign language. Of all the sheer idiocy… Yes, he can communicate by writing, but what if he’s in a position where he doesn’t have access to ink and paper? What if he’s in the middle of a fight, and doesn’t have time to write anything down?

Law actually has to teach the idiot what gesture means what - thus, the flash cards. And the homework. And the pop quizzes when Law confronts the older man to see if Corazon actually has done his assignments. (He usually hasn’t).

It’s enough to make Law want to stab him. Again.

***

Ten years down the line, and Law’s fingers fall into the old shapes and patterns with all the grace of long familiarity. Ten years down the line, and he gestures, soundless, a pattern of commands that his enemies stare at, uncomprehending, even as the Heart Pirates rally to his instructions.

Ten years down the line, and he still remembers the first thing Cora-san ever Signed to him, large, fumbling fingers finally curling into comprehensible shapes.

I love you.

She tries to take back her families business only to find that it’s been taken over by a cult of Evil Cowboys

are you kidding i’d watch the fuck out of this

Her love interest is an Actual Cowboy from the Old West who was the greatest gunslinger of their age and who won countless duels, but they still aren’t as good at it as she is because of Reasons

Reason being she has the Guns of Pecos Bill.

*internal screams of joy*

Do not do this to me my husband is a historical reenactor and weapon historian I know so much about this shit.

My brain is over flowing. Like like i love and hate the idea of it being Pecos Bill because on one hand I can think of 4 real humans I would want it to be and on the other Pecos Bill is BRILLIANT because he is a myth and tweeking things are less likely to hurt historians in their souls.

Also if it’s Pecos Bill she would also have his lasso.

You guys. Don’t do this to me.

The Lasso is too OP and you know it!

As someone who knows very little about the Wild Wild West other than that it was the inspiration for a terrible Will Smith film, I am curious to know more about this because I do not know who Pecos Bill is or about his guns/lasso

Pecos Bill is an American folklore hero in the same vein as Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed. Among his feats included being raised by coyotes, using a pet rattlesnake for a lasso, using said sneklasso to wrangle a tornado, and snacking on dynamite. He fell in love with a woman he met while she was riding a giant catfish down the Rio Grande, but his horse got jealous and sabotaged the relationship.

In other words, he’s the perfect legendary figure for Quickdraw (as I now dub our Asian reverse Iron Fist) to inherit her powers from

But Johnny Appleseed was real.  I’ve been to his grave-WHERE HIS ARTIFACTS OF POWER ARE INTE…I mean…damn where did that plot twist come from?

can she have a character growth arc where she has to go find Paul Bunyan?
