What ya got to say?
I said no to Marion Guthrie’s plan despite having no alternative and at the risk of losing the entire endeavor because I refuse to situate a man in a position where he might interfere one day with my ability to repair things with you.
Blackfeet Nourish has been providing food for the Medicine Bear Shelter and Blackfeet Food Bank for more than six years. The month of February has been grueling. Blackfeet [Nation reservation] has been hit by blizzard after blizzard with hurricane-force winds. Many people around Blackfeet Nation are both trapped in their homes and trapped out of their homes, in shelters, and other people’s homes.
100% of the donations will go to food for the Blackfeet Nation and dispersed [by] the shelter and as directed by Blackfeet Tribe’s Incident Command Center.
I hate that I’m doing this but for me this is a genuine emergency. My macbook just broke down completely to the point where I currently can’t even turn it on. I am in school and almost everything I do for school depends on me having a laptop/computer as one of my classes is completely online and most of my turning in of all my assignments is through the computer. I am taking it in to get it looked at early tomorrow morning but I was given a really high estimate for the repair costs so at this point I might just end up having to buy a new computer anyway to use in the interim until I can afford getting this one fixed lmao bitnch i know i wanna die. I barely have enough money to feed myself and pay rent as it is. My rent is $460 a month if you’d rather think of it as helping me make that payment instead of this computer drama and knowing I have next month’s rent covered would be a huge weight off my mind while I figure this out. I’ve never wanted to give my paypal link out publicly because it shows my full name and location 💀 but I have no other choice and I really need help. Thank you 😔Link is under the cut so I can delete this one day djfhkljgh.
On December 10th, Mao participated in the JAL Honolulu Marathon and finished running her first marathon. Her goal was to finish under 4 hours and 30 mins, and she finished in 4 hours 34 mins and 13 seconds. “I wasn’t able to achieve my goal for time, so [I give myself] 80 points,” she reflected.
It was a first marathon with ups and downs. “I ran really lightly at first, but my body started hurting at around 10-15km, but I recovered, and then my body felt heavy again after passing 20km. That kept repeating itself.” Even so, she said “It’s my first gold medal in a while so I’m happy!” with a smile on her face after receiving a gold medal for completing the marathon.
Hawaii, where the marathon took place, is a place full of memories for Mao. After acquiring a silver medal at the Vancouver Olympics, she traveled there with her now deceased beloved mother and sister Mai. December 9th, the day before the race, was her mother’s death anniversary. “I have very wondrous memories of Hawaii because it’s been 7 years since I traveled here with Mom and Mai. Mai came today, and I’m sure Mom was watching too, so I’m glad I finished the marathon.” Tears flowed as she embraced Mai, who cheered her on.
In the competitive skating world, they are participating in the Grand Prix Final and training for Nationals with thoughts of the Olympics around this time. It’s been 8 months since Mao’s retirement press conference in April. She’s separated from competition and isn’t aiming for Pyeongchang, but she firmly said “I challenged myself and learned my limits, and it’s a decision I made after worrying and thinking. I have no lingering regrets at all.”
“I’ll be starting a new project next year. For anything and everything, there’s uneasiness and worry with doing something for the first time, but also the happiness and joy of being able to challenge something new.”
“I want to head towards what I have to do next without stopping. This isn’t only for skating. If there’s something I want to do, I want to challenge it.”
this is my grasp of how football works: two teams of men want the ball very badly but are incapable of sharing it. one team attempts to deliver the ball to their holy ground while the other attempts to prevent this. occasionally an evil man will appear and speak curses to the men, causing them grief and dishonor
on the one hand this is a joke post because lol i have never made a good post in my life, but also, if i hadn’t made the connection
between this update and my sudden nosedive in activity, i would have been really fucking discouraged about all the shit i’ve been working on lately. i guarantee there are people on tumblr right now who haven’t made that connection, and who are trying to figure out why suddenly no one likes anything they’ve made. and that fucking sucks.
Reminder to go into your settings and turn off ‘Best Stuff First’ because my activity’s tanked a couple days ago for no reason so this stuff IS happening.
You WILL miss content with that setting on.
i ain’t joking when i say that my activity looks JUST like this too and i wasn’t sure why
I can only find the option on the app under Settings > Dashboard Preferences.
To support content creators do us a favour and turn off “Best stuff first”. Open the tumblr app (Android or iOs) and go to “Settings > Dashboard Preferences. And please reblog this post, so that everybody will see this. Thank you very much!
I assumed I just wasn’t writing very well, but maybe it’s not just me.
Am I supposed to pay to get my writing in front of followers now?
We interrupt your regularly-scheduled sci-fi content because this is important for app users, and it sucks. We all follow blogs because we want to see their content, not to have a crappy algorithm decide what’s best.
This blog is down approximately 80%, which doesn’t affect me other than as an annoyance (as this is a hobby and @okayto is small-ish) but the issue undoubtedly hurts others.
Below are instructions for turning it off. You have to do it individually–it doesn’t matter if a blog you follow turns it off, you’ll still be affected unless you do the same.
Your Halloween reminder to read these excellent spooky stories and to tell the creators how you felt about them – writers and artists have no way to know unless you click the heart or leave a comment!
Enrollment for 2018 Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) starts on November 1 and ends on December 15. The current administration has cut the funds to announce when people can enroll. Please reblog and #Resist
they have also scheduled some 12-hour “maintenance sessions” to occur on sundays during the enrollment period so be aware of those as well.
Also there’s one scheduled for the first night so be aware of that.
They’re basically doing everything in their power to make it as difficult as possible so young and healthy people don’t bother signing up in an effort to kill the program that way. Please don’t let that happen spread this around and sign up.
I’m reblogging this every single Fucking time I see it
