M0th-b0nes - Hi :)

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

I don't know what this trend or challenge is but I know they won. [tiktok: theharbinsisters]

REAL

twiddles my thumbs looks around

You are a literal one man army, facing the full force of the invaders. They don’t know how screwed they are.

there's literally been. a total of 8 indigenous people killed by the police forces in canada since august 29th. over two weeks. across several provinces. one of them, hoss lightning, a cree man, was shot by the rcmp after he called them for fucking help. the other was a mi'kmaw man in new brunswick who called because he was threatening to hurt himself. they fucking tased him & then shot him. this is literally so fucking unacceptable. nobody's talking about this unless they're native. FUCK reconciliation. we need ACTION.

HERE IS ANOTHER FUNDRAISER THAT WOULD DRIVE ME UP ON THE WALL. PLEASE DONATE TO SUAD AHMAD (#279). SHE IS A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AND SHE IS EXHAUSTED TO THE BONE. THIS MAKES SENSE SINCE SHE IS CONSTANTLY ON FLIGHT OR FLIGHT MODE. SHE WOULD ALSO BE ILL, BUT SHE HAS TO PUT ON A STRONG FACE AND RECOVER ASAP!

AT THE SAME TIME, KHALED IS ILL WITH 2 VIRAL INFECTIONS. THERE IS ONE IN HIS CHEST AND HE WOULD HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING. HE DEPENDS ON A NEBULIZER, BUT DUE TO THE LIMITED ELECTRICITY, THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE METHOD. HE DESERVES BETTER MEDICAL CARE! ! !

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? PLEASE DONATE. HELP US ACHIEVE THE SHORT-TERM GOAL OF 36K IN THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THERE IS $1,259 USD LEFT TO GO! YOU CAN EVEN MATCH ME. I HAVE GIVEN $5 USD, BUT YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GIVE MORE. AND IF YOU CAN'T, THEN MAKE SURE TO BOOST!

Alcohol tips for newbie writers (or non drinkers!):

At bars, people who order “chasers” after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice

Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)

Most people can’t finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill

Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill

Liquor can be “bottom shelf” or “rail” or “well” – all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several “levels” of alcohol stocked

You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix – e.g., a “vodka soda” or a “Tito’s and tonic”

When you “close out a tab”, you pay for all of the drinks you’ve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you “opened a tab” earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end

“Doubles” are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol

In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default. 

Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixer 

If you don’t specify which type of alcohol you’d like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the “house” liquor is – and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Tito’s

PLEASE TIP YOUR BARTENDERS THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU I PROMISE
