You might not remember where you were on the morning of Jan. 9, 2014.
But if you were one of the 300,000 people who woke up to find that their shower smelled like cough syrup, we’re going to guess that you remember.
Just outside of Charleston, West Virginia, a tank leaked a chemical pollutant into the Elk River. And suddenly, hundreds of thousands of people couldn’t use their water. Officials said not to bathe in it, wash dishes with it, cook with it, or (especially!) drink it.
Some residents were without water for two months.
People were understandably angry. They organized. They lobbied for tighter regulation.They pulled together and made historic progress.
Lori Jo Magana had never lobbied her representatives before. But she’s one smart cookie, and she had an idea.
She started baking.
And those cookies opened doors.
Legislators were happy to see her (wouldn’t you be?) and they listened to her message.
So these are the poisonous coils I had taken out of me Monday, along with my fulopian tubes. These are called Essure permanent birth control coils. I had them placed 6weeks after having SAV via c-section. So once the side effects started only weeks later, I jus assumed it was part of my body still healing from the pregnancy and the c-section. After a few months I decided I should probably have some of my symptoms checked out becus surly I
my cat civilization has been going for 27 years now. we have developed writing and have friendly trade relations with a caravan of lizards. i’m told you can achieve space travel at some point. it’s amazing.
I’ve used this before and the person I was chatting with was very kind and helpful. I really could have hurt myself seriously if I hadn’t seen a tumblr post about the site… Phone calls and I don’t do so well together
New Yorker Tyeesha Mobley was at a gas station near her Bronx apartment with her two sons when she caught the older boy, aged nine, stealing $10 out of her purse. Thinking this was a good opportunity to teach him a lesson about honesty and consequences, she called the police, asking them to help her communicate the seriousness of stealing.
When the police arrived, however, Mobley’s Arrested Development-style lesson quickly escalated into a terrifying situation. Three of the four officers
Charlie peered past Kress’ shoulder. “Oh. That’s my wingsuit. I use it for base jumping.”
Kress screwed up her saurian features. “Base… Jumping.”
“Yeah,” Charlie grinned. She started to bounce in her enthusiasm. “It’s like skydiving, only instead of jumping out of a plane, you jump off of something really tall, build up speed with the suit, and then rip silk.” She hastily amended, “Uh. That means
it’s sort of ironic that the original article on spoon theory costs so many spoons to read, so i decided to write a brief summary for people who need it
spoon theory is an analogy
in it, spoons = energy
you get [x] number of spoons a day ([x] amount of energy), & doing things costs [x] number of spoons ([x] amount of energy)
for example, you get 10 spoons today; getting up costs 1, making food costs 2, making
Interested in developing your characters, or just want to talk about them? I’ve created an online questionnaire that will help people flesh out their characters. The best part is, it also doubles as a survey that will let me collect data on what sort of traits people tend to give their OCs. Once I get enough responses I’ll be publishing the results for all of you to see. It’s not academic or for a project, but I think
If you’re male and watch Steven Universe, then watch Steven Universe.
You don’t need a useless fandom tag like “Gemtlemen” or “Gembro” or “Bro Brobrobro” to do it, just watch it as is. Dumb tags like that are as useless as those awkward “This is not a KIDS show” posts that people use to justify watching certain shows.
Just watch the shows you enjoy and just chill.
Plus, you don’t need to “bro” anything up to justify
This is the pink rabbit of happiness. If your story has subject matter that you’re wholly uncomfortable with writing for any reason, the pink rabbit steals the prompt and replaces it with “Write a short story about a pink rabbit”
[AN: The whole point of challenges is that I find my boundaries and ways to wriggle around them :D Image shows a pink, plush rabbit toy with floppy ears and a bow around its neck]
