Do u know what just happened in one of Irans best technology universities (Sharif Uni of Technology)? Armed forces attacked all university students and trapped them in the parking lot closing all the exit gates to kill them easily… Some managed to escape and hide in classes and dorms so the police started firing their guns to hear their whimpers or cries and find them
Some were hiding in restrooms while using their social media accounts pleading people to come and crowd the area for police to be forced to split up…
There’s no question in that we’re fighting with terrorists who believe themselves to be protecting their “regime”
All countries, doesn’t matter where you’re from I mean ALL of you, please, make your government kick Iran’s legation workers out. Or if they can, they should deport Iran’s chairmens children who are living a luxury life out there with stealing MY people’s money
Sanctions will only hurt the normal people and makes the Islamic republic’s corrupt government to steal more and more money from Iranians bank accounts in order to keep their wealth and fancy lifestyle
Even if they manage to suppress our revolution, we would come back and strike them harder with more fury and rage
We don’t forgive
We don’t forget

minor tumblr user’s carrd: over 25 dni!!
25 year old who was going to prey on this minor: oh damn 😔 here I was planning to groom them but i can’t because of their dni 😔 what a shame 😔😔😔😔😔
actual things you can do to keep yourself safe online instead of relying on a dni:
- don’t use your real name! not even your first name, if it’s unusual!
- don’t tell anybody where you live! not even what state you’re in! keep that shit a sexy little mystery that’s between you and your mail carrier!!
- liberally use the block feature!!!! use it!!! just block people if they give you the heebie jeebies!!
- don’t post selfies that you’ve also posted on facebook or anywhere else! reverse image search can be used to find your name if the same image is tied to fb or insta or anywhere else your actual name might be
- consider not posting selfies at all actually esp if you’re a minor……., shit can be dangerous
- there’s no reason you have to advertise your age if you’re a minor <3 you don’t have to tell anyone! don’t lie, and please don’t interact with 18+ content, or with adults who are uncomfortable with people under 18 interacting–but you don’t have to go out of you way to say on your blog “hey I’m a minor and a member of a vulnerable community”! and if someone asks then you are allowed to tell them to fuck off
- tell people to fuck off if they ask you questions that could be used to identify you
this all counts for discord servers too btw. I’m 26 and as a kid on the internet I was warned about “chatrooms” and told to stay safe and not give out any personal info in a chatroom because that’s dangerous. And It Is
discord servers are chatrooms y'all. not everyone in your public fandom discord is your friend

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?
I know this one! Or, at least, I know a way to do it, because I’ve done it.
1) When you call them up (or email them, which I prefer, because PHONE, EW), you ask if they’re taking new patients.
2) If they say yes, say something along the lines of “Great! I’m looking for a new therapist. Would it be possible for me to schedule an appointment so we can see whether we’d be a good fit for one another?”
- IF THEY SAY NO, THEY DON’T DO ‘INTERVIEWS’: they’re a dick, you don’t want them anyway, don’t bother to make an appointment
3) Assuming everything is a go, head over to the appointment. Bring your notebook, pen, and questions. Also, if possible, have a very brief rundown prepared of what you’d like to accomplish with your therapy (or even what you think your biggest issues are).
4) Introduce yourself. Reiterate that you want to see if the two of you would be a good fit, so [a nice little social laugh or smile here, while holding up your notebook] you brought questions.
- IF THEY DON’T LIKE THAT: they’re a dick, you don’t want them anyway, cut the meeting short
5) Give the rundown of what you want, what your issues are, whatever. See how they react.
- IF YOU FEEL WEIRD AT ALL ABOUT THEM: they may not be a dick, but if you don’t feel comfortable with them, then it’s going to be a shit therapeutic relationship
6) Ask your questions — about their therapeutic approach, why they entered the field, whether they feel comfortable working with *your* needs (I, for instance, specifically told my awesome therapist that I needed her to tell me absolutely nothing about her personal life or experiences — as much as possible, I needed a blank wall to bounce things off of. It’s been years now, and I THINK she’s seen at least a couple of episodes of Doctor Who. I THINK. That’s all I’ve got. It’s amazing).
- AGAIN, IF YOU FEEL WEIRD ABOUT THEM: go with your gut — your therapy is not the time or place to try and soldier through
7) By this point, you’ve probably hit the 45 minute mark, and you’ll know if you want to see this person again.
- IF YES, say that this was a really great meeting, and you’d like to set up a regular appointment.
- IF NO, say “Thanks for meeting with me.” If it wasn’t too terrible, feel free to add in whatever social niceties you want to lessen the blow (“I have appointments with a few other people, still, but thank you again!”), or you could just skedaddle as soon as possible.
- IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, go a bit heavier with the social nicety: “I still have appointments with a few other people, but I really enjoyed our meeting. I’ll let you know as soon as possible if I’d like to schedule another one. Thanks again!”
Regarding current therapists: If they’re toxic, get rid of ‘em before you even start interviewing others. Nobody needs that kind of garbage. Otherwise, you could keep seeing them while you interview others, and then the second you find one you like (and you schedule your next appointment), get rid of your current one. You don’t have to say why — just say that you’d like to cancel future appointments. Do it over email, if you want. If you like them, you can tell them that you just need something different now, but that you “really appreciate all the work we’ve done together” or something. If you don’t like them, just cancel. They don’t need to know jack.
- IF YOUR CURRENT THERAPIST SAYS SHIT ABOUT YOUR LEAVING — and I mean anything other than a positive hope for you in the future — then they were a dick and you were right to find someone else. Who needs passive-aggressive bullshit from a therapist? Nobody, that’s who.
So that’s my philosophy/style with regard to therapist shopping — I may be completely wrong, but it’s worked for me so far. Good luck!
This is really good advice
Yes, very good advice!

Dealing with a new fucking eczema flare and realizing I legitimately have ptsd from dealing with this shit. Was legitimately triggered into a panic attack once I saw it spreading across my torso. Wild how some people really think this disease is just a superficial inconvenience at most when for some of us it’s a serious disease that causes extreme pain and discomfort and affects every aspect of our lives and is literally traumatizing to deal with.
Also i think people don’t realize how expensive severe eczema is to treat. I just had to pay $130 for three small tubes of ointment and that was with a GoodRx coupon and my immunosuppressive injections can cost me around $1,000 if my insurance decides to not cover the full cost lmao.
When I have my appointment next month to get back on my injections, I’ll have to deal with fighting my insurance provider tooth and nail to be able to afford them.
All this just to keep my immune system from killing my skin and disfiguring me. Skin is the largest organ in the human body and plays a huge part in your functioning and existing as a human being and yet it’s extremely common for insurance providers to decide to not cover treatments because they think it’s not necessary, because they think eczema is a superficial disease.
Fun fact: without insurance at all, the injections I take (called Dupixent) cost over $3,000. It’s difficult to get your insurance to cover a specialty medication like this so I know for a fact that there’s tons of people out there that have to pay out of pocket full price. Every time I think about this fact, it fills me with a seething rage.
Our healthcare system is completely fucked. Everyone deserves free universal healthcare. It’s a fucking human right.
Here’s my PayPal link if anyone wants to help me afford medical care.
Finally got a doctor to prescribe me the actual amount of ointment I need just for my insurance to say “hahaha we aren’t covering this. Your eczema can’t be THAT bad” so it’s gonna cost me $500 out of pocket unless I can figure something else out lmaooo.
It’s like they don’t realize eczema like this can literally KILL PEOPLE. If I don’t get it under control, I could get an infection that’ll cause sepsis and lead to my lymph nodes necrotizing. I’m tired of eczema only being seen and treated as a minor superficial issue when it’s ruining my fucking life and the life of others.
Eczema is an autoimmune disease that can be serious and our issues deserve to be seen instead of being shrouded by the ignorance of others. Eczema sufferers deserve better.
Saw my dermatologist on Tuesday and finally got my injections prescribed but it could take around a month for insurance authorization goes through because my doctor is anticipating needing to appeal. She’s gonna do whatever she can to make sure they cover them.
But in the meantime I still need help affording ointment along with the slew of other new meds she prescribed to keep my skin from killing me and to try to keep me comfortable while we wait.
Here is my PayPal link again since it’s been kinda buried by my additions to this post. Any little bit helps and I thank you all for your reblogs and support ✨🌺🧚🏾

it’s been said before and it will be said again but i’m begging you all nicely to restrain yourselves from being so casually aggressive and rude and obnoxious in the tags & reblogs of a complete stranger’s posts. no one wants to know that you hate [tv show that op giffed]. no one wants to know that you hate [character that op drew]. no one wants to hear you being ugly and negative for no reason. say what you want to say in your own post. don’t hit the reblog button. blacklist relevant tags. unfollow or block relevant accounts. log out. shut down. get help.

Saw a post where someone made fun of another persons atypical way of typing and when they were then told that the person in question type like that because of a disability, they went “how was I supposed to just know that?” - and in case anyone wasn’t aware the answer to that kind of fuckery is:
“You’re not supposed to know that, you’re just supposed to not make fun of anyone’s harmless differences regardless of whether they’re disabled or not. You’re not supposed to be able to tell “weird” abled neurotypicals and disabled/mentally ill people apart, you’re just supposed to treat people with respect generally speaking. It’s not that hard. “I didn’t know they were disabled” is just not the excuse you think it is cause you’re not supposed to make fun of anyone for completely harmless differences regardless of whether said differences are related to a disability or not.

im so frustrated. ive been making and remaking these posts since early september and now tumblr seems to be mostly hiding my main blog because of that. im remaking this post on here because it’s meant im not getting traction, donations and commissions anymore. im a bisexual non-binary woc in university. i need a functioning laptop to get through university especially since my country frequently has loadshedding i can’t have a laptop that frequently dies on me. it’s made the last semester difficult for me and it’ll make my upcoming final exam hard to get through in the given time frame. i had something lined up to help me with over half of it but it’s just not working out :(
