This Isn’t Even Part Of The Actual Fanfic Why Did I Draw This

How do you (“how does one”) shop for a therapist?

Can you call up a therapist and be like “hi, I’m therapist shopping”? Can you schedule an appointment with a therapist and then be like “actually I have some questions and I want to spend part of this appointment talking about your practice and whether or not it is garbage?”? Are you expected to phone interview/screen your therapists if you are shopping around for a therapist?

If you’re seeing one therapist are you supposed to/not supposed to tell them if you start seeing another therapist? Is it possible to cheat on your therapist?

There’s something in Gray and Lucy’s relationship which can’t be describe in words. It is just so genuine, precious and just… irreplaceable. I have some ships that I love, but even those ships end up having corny moment, which make me a little “ehh…” When it comes to GrayLu, it’s not like that at all, I haven’t ever cringed at any of their developments. Never. It is always simple, subtle yet perfect. 

Heartwarming.

Their moments are never forced in your throat. They always act so naturally around each other, like they were made to say the lines Mashima wrote for them. Like those lines are not just dialogues but actual conversations, they exchanged out of their own free will. I can make thousand other points on why I like this pair, but this point always takes the cake for me. This is what I like the best about them.

I swear if Catra gets the Lotor treatment, if Shadow Weaver, her horrible abusive manipulative mother figure gets redemption before her, I’m going to lose my shit.

Some tips on eating as a poor person that aren't "live on dry beans and rice that take time and effort to make"

Food Banks Exist For YOU!! I don't need one anymore but am so thankful for them. You may hesitate to go to them bc you don't think you need it as badly as others... but from someone who spent years with their dad going to several, the food is there and they want to help. It isn't embarrassing; the people who volunteer are doing it for a reason, and ime treat you as a shopper, not a charity case. There are sites to find food banks. If you go to one, they usually have pamphlets for all the ones in the area. We never had to prove income or anything like that. They want to help, I promise.

If there's a local farmer's market, check to see if they have a subsidy program for people on food stamps. Another thing my dad and I used. At two separate markets 5 hrs apart, both had a program where you could DOUBLE your food stamp money in farmer's market coupons. Healthy, fresh, local, ethically raised food for less than the grocery store

If you go to a store more than once in a blue moon get the discount/membership/whatever card. It's usually super easy and almost always saves you a LOT of money

When in a supermarket, look at price per ounce if comparing items. Do not look at total price vs visual package size. Companies are experts at packing less and less food into larger packages. Grocery stores with a price per oz on the tags are so so helpful, but if they don't, sometimes it honestly makes a difference to use your phone calculator

CHECK IF YOU HAVE AN ALDI IN YOUR AREA. They sell actual seriously good, usually healthy food way cheaper than crappy stuff at other stores. This is for a lot of reasons I won't get into. But, it's also just a more ethical system for their workers, who make well above minimum wage. Aldi is Life. Tip: if you don't have reusable bags, keep an eye out for empty boxes as you shop. They don't bag anything for you.

BIG LOTS or other similar clearance/discount stores. They get an ever-changing stock of things at deep discounts. Lots of nice luxury and/or healthy groceries at half price as well as your normal staples. Also my go-to for home items and pet supplies

Shop Sales. This one is obvious to some but others just aren't in the habit. I almost exclusively buy things on sales where I save at least 1/3, usually 1/2. You can have a fully stocked pantry and freezer and spend half as much as if you only buy things when you want to eat that particular thing. It does mean less fresh food, but y'know. Just develop a laser eye for a sale tag and know where the clearance section is. Second nature to people who grew up poor but I was amazed shopping with college friends who bought full price name brand food and had trouble paying rent

I haven't done this but my brother swears by it. He went in with a few friends on a communal Costco membership. Could also do this with Sam's Club. They shop together, and then split bulk items if there's a great deal on something one person couldn't eat on their own. Bulk is the way to go if you can find a way to have the up-front cash. Impossible for many which is why the communal thing is so genius!

If this helps even one person it was worth writing out! I've realized last year, I learned a Lot growing up under the poverty line. It doesn't just appear in your brain when you're 22 and can't pay your bills for the first time.

Please feel free to add other tips if you have them. Just don't shame people for eating what they choose to eat like those "vegan dollar cookbooks" or whatever.

The contrast between this "protest" and all the other ones I've been to is so telling. These ppl are out there having fun and being entitled as fucking hell taking up space and being as loud as they can. When I go to a real protest the mood is like dour and ppl actually hurting and looking to heal. It's maddening.

These fucking cry babies out there pretending like they're oppressed for being lucky enough to live in a country that provides FREE vaccinations when so many parts of the world are desperate for it.

Western individualism is a disease. There is no sense of community. Ppl only think for themselves.

Ok, headcannon for the Galra in DoT.

Lotor has white hair in VLD and Akira cannonically has white hair that he dyes black and he's half Galra.

Headcannon: All Galra have white hair, or at least the nobles/generals do. They have purple skin or purple eyes depending on how much Galra they have in them but every Galra has white hair unless something becomes the new dominant gene (or they just are weird and have the ressessive gene instead because NATURE!)

i hope everyone with acne, eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis, and skin conditions have a good day today
