My mother is being evicted.
My mother is a 56 year old immigrant working 3 minimum wage jobs when she should be retired. My whole childhood, I remember money always being tight but it was never this bad. I remember my mother always somehow managed to keep a roof over our heads. This time a round, things are getting tough.  All the years she sacrificed for me and my siblings to get an education and to have a better life than she did have caught up to her and she can no longer make ends meet on her own.

My little brother will be 18 in less than 2 weeks and is starting college in the fall and my worry is that him and my mother will have no place to go once he leaves. I live all the way in New York City and I myself am struggling and there is no way for my family to come live with me or my other siblings who live all the way in California.

I am so desperate I hate seeing my mom like this and I feel so helpless. All we need is $500 to kickstart a way to keep a roof over her head. Please if you can not help PLEASE share this. My heart hurts so much.

Guys please please please boost this i cannot stop crying I feel so helpless and so scared right now. I never wanted to post this and this is a last resort because there is no other way right now.

Ah the free market at work.
(Similar to when I went to CVS to pickup a 90$ prescription and they had their own generic version for 7.99).

This is important!
Tell your Friends.

I can’t believe some insurances quit covering them 😐

From Slate:

The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.

That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.

You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription! 

I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).

Some customers may be automatically eligible for $100 off the retail price thus only paying $10 for a pack, but this may be good backup for those who for whatever reason do not meet those requirements.

i feel kinda fucked up that im living in a country with a nazi regime and not being able to do anything about it and nothing is working. we need to take to the streets in droves and riot. gather thousands of people. throw rocks at the white house. sprinkle sugar on the campgrounds where the tents are gonna be built (2 lbs of sugar can ruin up to one ton of unset concrete). or throw hydrogen peroxide filled water balloons at the exposed steel to corrode it faster because theyre literally building concentration camps in 106°F texas heat for children who cannot regulate their body temperature like adults

nobody in power is listening so we have to do it ourselves

StormKing!verse: A few vaguely related thoughts/questions I thought you might find amusing. For one

via https://ift.tt/2lGzIEq

The Kingsglaive exists primarily to deal with the Empire once Ardyn can no longer hold the Storm around Galahd. At least that’s what they’re first formed for. It’s like an upgrade to their usual military, only with infinitely better survival chances.

Then they start focusing on the daemons and the monsters, when the Empire stops being a priority. Which. Awkward thing we’re collectively not going to acknowledge, said Galahd, MY, I WONDER WHERE ALL THE SUDDEN INCREASE OF DAEMON ACTIVITY CAME FROM, WHEREVER MIGHT THEY HAVE COME? I bet it was the Empire. Fuck the Empire.

(Ardyn keeps expecting someone to bring it up and the entire freaking country has decided not to. You know it’s A Big Deal when not even Nyx will make pithy comments about it.)

Ardyn is a bottomless pit of knowledge. It’s not so much a cultural renaissance so much as a bloodless cultural cannibalization. Because Ardyn is Galahdian - they could take him out of Galahd but they could never take Galahd out of him, despite it all - but he hasn’t been in Galahd, as in living and being part of the culture, for about two thousand years. He’s picked up bits and pieces and the joke is that he can’t quite remember where all of them come from. His main thing, about true Galahdian culture are the libations and the arguing with the Old Man, because those are related to their right to be in Galahd in the first place. But Galahd hasn’t BEEN Galahd for long enough, by the time Ardyn gets the boot, for it to have a culture proper. Not the kind you can have a proper renaissance for. Everything else is just a mishmash of random information and knowledge and history and they just. They like to poke at him and ask him questions and there’s a bit of a novelty to having people who care about his stories - he has so many stories, most of them irreverent, and they all eat them up in delight - that he can’t help but share a little. Never about himself, but. Always about the world.

And the thing is, they don’t take things from him wholesale - except libations and the screaming at the Old Man about things, sort of, be’s very stubborn about those - they just. They start off that and make it their own. Put their own spin on things. It tends to go either super fun or end in disaster. (It’s usually a fun disaster, to be honest.)

Most of the anti-anti-immigration advice I see on here is skewed towards the US so here’s some useful UK info I just walked past

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY IMMIGRATION OFFICERS (UKBA)

If the UK Border Agency or police stop you in the street and ask you about your immigration status: 

- You DO NOT have to answer any questions. 

- You DO NOT have to tell them your name or address. 

- Tell them that you do not want to talk to them. 

- Stay polite but confident.

 - You can walk away. 

They are not allowed to stop you just because of your race. They can only stop you if they have a good reason. If they stop you just because of how you look, or the language you speak, tell them: 

“This is racist.“ 

“This is illegal.“ 

“I will make a complaint.“ 

If you are detained, call Bail for Immigration Detainees (independent from us):  020 7247 3590 / antiraids.net

Cat week, day 3, Leash cats, Headcanons

via https://ift.tt/2tAXPIY

paintcoon:

As mentioned on day one, the following cats are used to walking on a leash. Now here is how they behave while walking outside. (I didn’t mention Ardyn as a leash cat but, can any of you imagine him in a tiny box not making a fuss?)

Cor
- Cor goes on a leash because he broke two boxes already
- And the vet told you to get a leash for him after he broke theirs
- He was easy to get used to the leash
- Likes the freedom to walk and not suffer in the little space
- Looks out the window during car rides
- If necessary, he’s even chill with trains
- But only if the train is there while you arrive
- He gets startled half to death because trains tend to squeak when coming to a halt
- You found out when you had to take him somewhere and your cat spontaneously clawed its way up to your shoulder
- He’s well-behaved on a leash
- But no touching

Luna
- First of all, she hurt herself inside boxes
- Every time she got out of the box, she was hurt
- So, again, the vet said to get her a leash
- It’s a neat white leash with little accessories no one cares about
- Besides the catastrophe that is catching her, she is actually a well-behaved cat
- She doesn’t struggle, won’t try to bite the leash
- She got used to it pretty fast
- Though she still isn’t fond of it
- Yes she walks beside you and occasionally allows little kids to pet her, but that’s just to distract you from the thought of having to catch her again for her next vet appointment

Prompto
- Little goofball doesn’t like boxes because he can’t touch you while trapped
- The leash is his favorite
- He’s got a yellow one with some sort of duck printed on
- Prompto actually wants to go outside with you
- He’ll meow sitting in front of the shelf with the leash
- Maybe it’s because he doesn’t know he can go outside without you
- Or because he just wants to spend time with you alone
- But Prompto is the most excited about his leash
- Because he knows you’ll be close to him
- He’s the vet’s favorite
- Never makes a fuss
- Brave little kitten
- Though he did puke onto them that one time

Gladio
- He didn’t want to stay in the transportation box
- Honestly, he needed one for dogs because of his height
- Gladiolus is, well, Gladiolus
- He doesn’t do tiny spaces
- But put a leash on him and he’s the boss
- He tries pulling into directions he wants to go
- Don’t bring him to public transportation
- Yes, he will get lots of attention
- But you won’t want to get pulled over to every kid he finds worthy
- Worthy of petting him
- He’s a brat

Ignis
- If he isn’t sick, he’s walking on his leash
- Not saying that Ignis is trying to troll you
- Just saying he will randomly climb up a tree
- Or lay down so you’ll stop
- Ignis is a nice cat
- But he also likes to tease you
- He is okay with kids touching his head
- But nothing else
- Get ready for him going nuts when he smells food
- Ignis loves food
- And he will do everything to see what smells so nice
- The vet hates his eating habits
- So does your bank account

Noctis
- Noctis doesn’t walk on a leash
- He’s carried around wearing one
- Walking simply isn’t his style
- And he hated his box so much he found, and broke it in the middle of the night
- Twice
- To be fair, he is absolutely calm when you carry him
- Or when he’s on the passenger seat
- Getting used to the leash wasn’t a problem
- But getting used to not being carried around after a trip outside, certainly was

Ardyn
- IF you were able to get him on the leash you’re lucky
- He won’t make a fuss about it
- In fact, he’ll gladly walk next to you
- Or watch you drive
- He doesn’t have a problem with public transport
- Neither does he have a problem with all the attention he gets
- He seems to shower in it
- All the comments saying how beautiful he is
- He’ll even raise his head a little
- And meow at certain people
- Doesn’t like to be touched though
- This cat is such an actor it sometimes hurts

*snicker* In the STD!dragon!verse - imagine Cor waking up with wings and horns and scales after an -

via https://ift.tt/2tBWx06

Bonus: He walks into Clarus’ office to talk about something and pauses because he’s fairly certain that Clarus didn’t have wings, horns, or scales yesterday.

Cor doesn’t even have to say anything, he just raises an eyebrow and gives Clarus the papers he has to sign while Clarus is having a BSOD moment because Cor? His Little Brother? Sleeping With Someone? With Ardyn? Does not Compute.

(When Cor mentions Clarus’ new additions to Regis, Regis looks like a smug cat.

That smugness disappears when Cor mentions that there is no way Regis and Clarus are gonna be able to hide their relationship now.)

Also why am I seeing like, a week later, after the Chocobros’ share a Night Together, Prompto, Ignis, and Gladio wake up with horns and scales and fangs and wings.

Noctis is Pleased.

Because if the can do that to their own people, well, *implications* 

Ardyn, meanwhile, has gotten out the popcorn and cackles. 

But get this: conspiracy theorists pop up. And /someone/ starts the crazy theory that ‘what if the MTs are brainwashed clones’.

Meaning that, back in Greala, there is probably a MASSIVE scramble going on because guess what? The Empire probably thinks that this version of Ardyns backstory is legit, and there is suddenly an urgent, URGENT need to figure out just Where and When this all went down. 

Who was involved, who forced Ardyn into working for the Empire, who betrayed him - because in the best traditions of all Evil Empires, heads are gonna ROLL. They’re looking for scapegoats now that there’s every indication that the Chancellor is going to defect, and the individuals responsible for ‘forcing’ Ardyn into the government will do nicely. 

Ardyn may or may not have a group of Lucians who now regard him sympathetically and send him gift baskets. (Nyx is laughing hysterically in the background. His father has a FAN CLUB) 

Nyx and Ardyn are enjoying the chaos of the misunderstanding - they’re both troll enough for that. The Galahdians in general as well - they’re all very amused by it all. 

@distressedherbalist @hamelin-born

Lucis is not happy about the treaty with Niflheim – well, they weren’t happy in the first place but now they are very much like fuck no because they’re bad enough as is. They don’t want to see how bad Niflheim actually is when you’re allies. Not when Ardyn – who is their fucking Chancellor – was treated so badly by them. Fuck that, they’d rather stay at war.

There are so many conspiracy theories, so many. There are message boards full of them. This one starts as ‘what if MT’s were actually human’ which leads into ‘what if they didn’t volunteer’ which leads into ‘well, why not just kidnap kids, brainwash them, and make them into MT’s?’ which leads into ‘what if they just clone a bunch of kids, brainwash them, and use those’. The theory gets surprisingly popular. Ardyn is cackling in the background, because these people have no idea how right they are and the Nifs are digging their own graves. (Nyx had not known this. He is Not Happy with his dad over this. This is something that Ardyn should have mentioned when the man was filling him in).

Ardyn hasn’t had this much fun in centuries.

Yeah, no. Niflheim is definitely bad enough that none of this actually surprises people. Not even people from Niflheim. The higher ups are lit scrambling around trying to find out just who Ardyn Izunia was before he took the name on – because that name has been in use for centuries, obviously it was an assumed name – and what exactly they had done to the man, before he was probably forced into the position. They can’t find anything – so they end up believing that Ardyn had destroyed all of the evidence once ‘given’ his position, trying to protect either himself or any remaining family.

Since this isn’t exactly the first time that shit like this has happened, well. It isn’t difficult for people to believe it.

The emperor, who is basically Ardyn’s puppet, knows for a fact that none of this shit has happened in the last few decades – at least, not to Ardyn. He’s a little pissed off over all this shit. But he can’t actually do anything – no unless he wants to admit that he is actually just a puppet ruler.

The scapegoats – through some hastily planted evidence and a lot of hand wavy guessing – end up being people that pretty much no one likes but were useful enough not to get executed beforehand. A nice public execution, where the Emperor gives a speech that is obviously just trying to repair their public image, and they sorta declare the matter closed.

Literally no one else believes them. Ardyn really doesn’t care outside of the entertainment factor.

Ardyn totally ends up with a fan club. He has people who are constantly sending him gifts and apologies and offering their condolences. He does not get it. At all. Nyx cackles a lot, while stealing the chocolate that people keep sending his dad, and doesn’t help at all by telling people the story of how his dad sacrificed himself so that Nyx would survive long enough to get back to Galahd. Everyone is talking about how Ardyn is such a good father and he’s survived all of these years and was finally reunited with his son. The public eats it up. There are talks of books and films and documentaries, social media is all over this shit.

Otherwise, while everyone is freaking out over all of this, Nyx and Ardyn are having the time of their lives – they are, quite literally, trolling the entire country without telling a single lie. They’re finding all of this freaking hilarious. Every time someone mentions any of it, they have to fight to keep a straight face. (Nyx is happy, because the way that they’re reacting gives him hope for when it’s eventually found out that this all happened 2000 years ago due to their Founder King and an Astral that they worship. He’s still planning worst case scenarios but…)

The Galahdians – who know Nyx’s story, who have heard about Ardyn over the years, and are lording this knowledge over everybody else – find this just as funny and milk it for everything that it’s worth. Like, they’re happy for Nyx and stuff, but this is just hilarious – the Lucians had literally come up with their own really wild theories from an overheard conversation, everyone believed it (to be fair, it’s more realistic than these people are 2000 years old) and then it spread across the whole of Eos as fact. Niflheim is lit falling apart because people misinterpreted what was said – this is the best revenge for the fall of Galahd ever. They have no plans on correcting anyone.

Some of the Galahdian ‘glaives set up a blog where they post obscure theories about Niflheim and Ardyn and the entire story. They have a following – some people who believe the ‘theories’ and a whole bunch that just find them all so unrealistic that they’re funny. After the reveal finally goes through, someone realizes that all of the theories are right and the glaives just about kill themselves laughing. 

This is amazing and I love every minute of it.
