The Signal for Help was first introduced in Canada by the Canadian Women’s Foundation on April 14, 2020, and on April 28, 2020 in the United States by the Women’s Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from local, national, and international news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases.

The signal has been recognized by over 40 organizations across Canada and the United States as a useful tool to help combat domestic violence.

I get what you’re trying to say but you have to understand that there are kids who grow up on tobacco, there are kids who don’t know how else to cope, there are kids who think it’s a small way to rebel against someone who hasn’t treated them fairly. Most of these kids are in poverty or are seriously struggling. It’s not fair to label them as nothing but attention seeking morons.

you don’t want to spend time smoking while you could spend doing something else, even if it’s nothing.

you don’t want to smoke in designated areas or outside, especially if weather is raging with all its might and its the only place you can smoke (not to mention the inevitable littering).

you don’t want to smoke in your home, where it can take awhile to vent it (and if you don’t, guess what - second hand smoking is still toxic for your health).

you don’t want to debate with yourself whether you should spend money on food or on smoking.

if you smoked for awhile, you must build the nerves of steel to resist doing again, and dark days will be waiting for you to fail.

there are people allergic to smoke - they can’t be around you when you smoke (hell, imagine if you’re one of them and you’re smoking).

If you’re currently on HRT or planning to get surgery, smoking can be *especially* dangerous and may prevent you from receiving that care.

Smoking while taking feminizing hormones exponentially increases your risk of cancer. Why? Because your breast tissue (which is right above your lungs) is growing, which requires more oxygen & blood. If you’re smoking, that oxygen can contain carcinogens, which will now be stored in all that brand new tissue.

Smoking while on estrogen also increases the risk of blood clots & heart attack

Nicotine REDUCES the circulation of estrogen, so it can essentially nullify your hormones.

Being a smoker puts you at higher risk during surgery by minimizing circulation, which can lead to infection and even tissue death.

Tobacco companies *specifically* target the LGBT+ community (e.g. pride events, bars, etc) because they know we are 1. less likely to quit 2. face higher levels of stress 3. are less likely to have health insurance

Please know, I’m not sharing this information as scare tactic, but rather trans folks are often not given this information or have providers who aren’t aware of it.

You can have a piss droplet as a pet

You can do surgery on a grape

Poop is delicious

You can feed a worm some pasta

Viruses are adorable cuddly friends 

You can flush a whale shark down a toilet

An old man can poop in a baby potty

Hatsune Miku can meet your dad

A ghost cat, a funny flower, sentient poop, and a mystic tiger can all hatch from the same bird’s eggs

Having so much fun that I created a toca for the twc characters. I dont know if its accurate or sumn but this is how i imagine them(but make it less cartoony).

Mason/Rebecca/Adam

Felix/Nate

Tina/Verda/Douglas

Rio: …Tall

Aaron: …Miles…I love you, and I am proud of you…but you are somehow the smartest and dumbest boy I have ever known.

Miles: Says the man who used his big brain to become a criminal when he could’ve been a black Tony Stark with that gear he made. And thought working for the Kingpin, who everyone knows will throw his minions away like tissues, was a good idea!

Peter: He makes a good point, babe, you did kind of mess up first–

“Fire”

Oh yeah enjoy this mystic drawing

There comes a time when fandom becomes less of an escape from anxiety to being the source of anxiety. Sometimes I need to remind myself what’s important to focus on, and I made this chart to help me with that.
