Men are 100% valid and I 100% support them trying to vibe but this post is just so fucking funny I can’t-
men b like wow I’ve never met a girl who liked music before..
FOOD
Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER
first aid kit
sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
sleeping bag
travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
swiss army knife
can opener

Reblog to make a white gay big mad
Suddenly remembered this one dream I had when I was running a pretty bad fever.
Y’know that one Tom and Jerry episode where Tom dies and he goes to a train station in heaven? Yeah, I was there. And I was arguing with the train conductor. And I was going; “Let me in, you know who I am.” But then the train conductor. They tipped their hat at me and shook their head. “I’m sorry, my friend, but it’s not your time.” And then I woke up.
He harrumphed softly, sitting down on the crinkle crankle wall and crossing his arms.
Arguably the best sentence I’ve written. The rest of you, go home.

Note: Despite the trigger warning above, please please if you find you have the strength to read this, then do. It’s important and not just for the people living in the states. This affects all of us.
Alright so I know i’ve disappeared for a while but I’ve come back to tell you guys something very, very important.
racism/ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
This isn’t just a ‘oh yes racism that’s very bad’ kind of matter anymore. An innocent man was killed, not by accident, not in self-defence, and by the same people who apparently were supposed to be the good guys.
George Floyd was choked to death by a police officer.
He was choked to death by a police officer.
He had to beg to live.
Do you know how horrible that is? We talk about human rights to improve our lives, and this man had to beg for him to keep his own.
What makes it worse is that it didn’t work. He still died.
I don’t know how to tell you guys that we should care about other people.
Afterwards, there were protests. Of course there was. There had to be. Peaceful protests. Raising voices for justice, for a better change, for the right thing.
And do you know how the fucking police responded to these peaceful protests? Peaceful protests asking for better lives?
Do you know how the same people responded to violent, gun-wielding protestors asking for a fucking haircut?
If I told you one was responded with violence, and one was responded with peace, which one do you think would be which?
Would you be surprised to find out which ones really happened?
Would you be angry?
Wouldn’t you be angry? Shouldn’t you be?
These people have been fighting for years and years. They shouldn’t have to fight alone.
They didn’t stop with George Floyd. He wasn’t the first, and already he wasn’t the last.
Please, for the sake of all that is good in this world. Do not let this stand.
There are multiple websites in which you can help support the movement against this hellish system. It doesn’t take too long for you to type a few words in, for you to read more, to find more, to see that this has gone on for far too long.

In case you writers ever wondered. Made by Carrie Patrick on Facebook.
I want to write something in first person
And not specify my gender at all
Just absolutely nothing on my gender. Its just not important. Who gives a shit when I'm trying to fight a werewolf and keep my [REDACTED] Obtained Prized and Probably Cursed Object from being taken away?
My brother just said;
The Sponge has already killed one person.
And that person is me.
So now I will be leaving my work and passing it all onto him, as he's clearly the better writer. Good day.
CNN referred to Native Americans as “something else” on their voter demographic poll last night. The poll on the screen read like this:
White
Black
Latino
Something else
Asian
We weren’t declared as citizens of our own stolen land until 1924. We didn’t get the right to vote (in all states) until the early 1960’s.
And yet non-natives can’t even refer us as Indigenous people when we’re a part of the electoral process.
