It’s Always Good To Be Happy. :D

writing's a lonely hobby but it's interesting to think about how, for some of us, we wouldn't have it any other way.

What Really Happens After the Apocalypse

Right now, the largest and most deadly wildfire in California history is burning. Last year, Hurricane Harvey drowned southeast Texas under punishing, endless rain; a month ago, Hurricane Florence …

The myth that panic, looting, and antisocial behavior increases during the apocalypse (or apocalyptic-like scenarios) is in fact a myth—and has been solidly disproved by multiple scientific studies. The National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program, a research group within the United States Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA), has produced research that shows over and over again that “disaster victims are assisted first by others in the immediate vicinity and surrounding area and only later by official public safety personnel […] The spontaneous provision of assistance is facilitated by the fact that when crises occur, they take place in the context of ongoing community life and daily routines—that is, they affect not isolated individuals but rather people who are embedded in networks of social relationships.” (Facing Hazards and Disasters: Understanding Human Dimensions, National Academy of Sciences, 2006). Humans do not, under the pressure of an emergency, socially collapse. Rather, they seem to display higher levels of social cohesion, despite what media or government agents might expect…or portray on TV. Humans, after the apocalypse, band together in collectives to help one another—and they do this spontaneously. Disaster response workers call it ‘spontaneous prosocial helping behavior’, and it saves lives.

Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise. 

How most people with invisible illnesses are treated by health care “professionals”

GUYS MY TOOTH NEEDS TO COME OUT ASAP. I CANNOT WAIT ANY MORE.

Guys I made a post not too long ago about how my tooth was abscessed and needed to be seen to by a dentist. Well I went to a dentist in my area and I learned not all dentists pull teeth! That one sure didn’t. 

So I had to pay for a $50 visit just for him to look in my mouth and tell me my tooth was abscessed and needed to be pulled (BUT THEN WOULDN’T PULL IT).

Meaning I had to go make another appointment with a dentist that will handle the back teeth! Which I did. Only thing is there’s only a few dentists that will work on those teeth, and the best one is up north of me and it’s a hell of a drive.

I called today and asked if I could just come in as an emergency (because my pain is to the point where I cannot function anymore) and the lady said yes.

But a walk in/emergency appointment is $75.

THEN for them to extract my tooth it would cost me $155.

And that’s not counting the money for gas to drive up there and the cost for the pain relief meds I’ll need after this. I’m hoping those won’t go past $50.

So far getting this tooth removed is going to cost $280 in total. 

I don’t have the money to pay for any of that. I currently have $2.27 in my account and I’d be beyond grateful for any help. I’m hoping I can go see the dentist on Monday at the earliest.

I’d be so grateful for donations so I can work again. I can’t stand to look at my computer screen for longer than a few minutes at a time because of the pain from my tooth that’s spreading to my whole jaw and right cheek/face.

You can donate here: paypal.me/mspanama78 And my commissions are open too!

Even if you can’t help yourself, I’d appreciate reblogs too. Thank you! I really want this tooth out asap now.

So interesting stuff happened over the weekend. I found out that Aaron Carter had been using my Cosmic Lion art on his website, as tour promotional content and possibly other merch through a post which said that he had rendered said artwork. He got called out and then he said then he infact purchased this artwork. Then he went on to say his assistant did, and then said its trash and that it deserves to go in the trash. Regardless, I never sold him any of my work. Neither him or his team ever asked permission for any of my work, nor did they give any credit. These celebrities think that they can rip off artwork that artists spend time and energy creating and not face any consequences. Hes still using this artwork on his website and tour promotional content despite the backlash on twitter and instagram. Tumblr family, help me get this out to as big an audience as possible!

Attention artists, art theft!

Saw this post by rosebloom-arts and decided to check it out. Turns out she is not the only person suffering from art theft by this website, making profit from printing posters of peoples artwork without any premission whatsoever.

I saw i lot of artworks including my own and from a lot of other people!

This is the website. If you search you name you will find some of your artworks they are using. And here is the petition to end this website. 

This is affecting a lot of people, not just myself and if you are an artist either by photography or drawing they are most likely stealing from you too.

So check it out and sign the petition, please. 

Look at them squiggles.

Keep bumping into me and standing too close because I refuse to crowd the person ordering at Starbucks? Enjoy my farts.

So, the title really says it all. Here I am trying to be polite to the person ahead of me who is ordering at Starbucks when I feel that ominous “someone is way to close” twinge. I look over my shoulder and this woman is almost literally pelvis to butt cheeks and glaring at me like I’m personally preventing the life-saving coffee from being express-injected into her otherwise mind-numbing existence.

When I look away, I feel it. You know what I’m about to say… you know she “accidentally” bumped into me just enough to get me to step forward, and then the twinge comes back. This woman, after her little victory, is smugly trying to use personal space to get that microsecond of saved time so she can have her coffee.

I stand firm. I Ignore the inevitable second bump.

Now you may be asking, how far was he from the register? Ten feet? Twenty? No, my lurking friends, I was probably two standard average human paces from the guy ordering at the register. I always do this. If I get peeved at some jackass standing over my shoulder as I try to order, I’m certainly not doing it to someone else. Even if he is ordering every conceivable add-on to a Frappuccino his adolescent girlfriend sent him to get.

But not Miss Needs-a-Fix… oh no! She must be CLOSER! When her second bump failed to get results she tries huffing repeatedly. When her obvious frustration at my inability to acquiesce doesn’t work she begins to pretend to search the cold case hoping that’ll get me to move. Look lady, we ain’t stupid… you’re not interested in some cold chicken wrap, and I’m not moving.

Then the third bump hits, but I saw it coming. I am not ashamed of my genetic disposition to being a gassier human then your normal butt-trumpeter, but I try to not let fly in public queues. I made an exception and released my tenuous grip on a gut-gurgler I felt coming on at the start of this line-jockeying ordeal.

She bumps and I farts. I even let out a decidedly dramatic “Oh! Excuse me!” with as much feigned sincerity as possible…

You better believe my personal space was no longer invaded.

Relish that one, lady. I brewed it just for you.

TL;DR: impatient coffee queen wants me to move forward, bumps me intentionally three times, and gets a dose of “surprise” fart for her rudeness.
