Barely Living

i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

I bring in a graduated cylinder of it and we talk about how it’s used in nuclear power plants and gmo crops. How inhaling even the small amount I’m holding can lead to suffocation or even death. It’s found in vaccines and cancer cells, but also in infant formula and pet food. It is a huge component of acid rain, can cause severe burns, and has been found in places that were thought to be the most pristine and unpolluted locations on earth.

We talk about how there are little to no regulations on this chemical. No bans, no warning labels, and most manufacturers don’t even have to disclose their use of it in their products.

My students are outraged. We talk about what we can do. Create posters and flyers to spread awareness. Contact our senators with petitions to ban DHMO. Spread this information all over social media.

Then I explain that the real problem with dihydrogen monoxide is that….when I am thirsty…there is just nothing else as refreshing, and then I watch their looks of absolute shock and horror as I drink the entire vial down.

I’m not sure if you guys are aware of this but…

THERE’S A CLIP OF THE REHEARSAL WITH NICK LANG AS EMMA WHEN LAUREN WAS SICK

sadly it’s only a minute long

Since the 17th about 12 of my posts where flagged as adult content and when I went to try and appeal it there was no appeal button. I went through their help and read the whole article. I even contacted support who then copied and pasted their help page not even trying to assist me.  All I know is that there was supposed to be a button for the original creator to click and allow up to appeal but there wasn’t.

On my computer:

On the app:

See no button for appeal.

It has taken me days to figure out this work around and I thought some other people out there might be having this issue.

Now here is how you appeal your post when you don’t have the appeal button

Now go through your blog and find all your pages with censored posts clicking on them to take you to the original post.

Take a look at the url.

See that number there? Copy it!

Open up a new page and type in this:

https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard/blog/your url/

At the end paste that number.

When you hit enter you will get this:

The appeal button is finally there! Click it!

You’ll get this message and then you’ll click appeal again.

Your post is now being appealed.

You can check that it was fixed just by refreshing your blogs page.

And that’s it! I know it is stupid and ridiculous to do such a ridiculous back method but unfortunately it’s the only solution I’ve come up with.

Also no you can’t just use the weird sidebar dashboard to find it as any flagged posts don’t actually show up at all in it.

I AM DECEASED 😭😭

Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan - idk about their individual sexualities but they’re a canon couple. Pretty sure JK said at one point that she considered making them canon, so they are. You can’t change my mind.

Luna Lovegood - pansexual. Luna doesn’t give two shits about your gender. If she likes you, she likes you. She probably feels about genitals the same way she feels about moles or birthmarks.

Draco Malfoy - gay. I’m about 105% sure that Draco only married a woman because his parents expected him to continue the Malfoy Bloodline. A belief that’s only furthered by the fact that his wife knew she would die at a young age and wanted a child before her passing. His parents gave him a hard enough time for marrying a woman that isn’t a racist, now imagine him getting with a dude that can’t even produce offspring. He hid, masked and repressed his sexuality probably his whole life.

Harry Potter - bisexual, although probably with a preference for women. Harry’s described people of both genders as good looking, attractive, handsome and/or beautiful. And then there was that weird tension and borderline obsession with Draco, especially in Half Blood Prince.

Sirius Black - gay. Unmarried, no children, no former girlfriends known. Also, his really “close” friendship with Remus. I imagine their relationship a lot like I would that of Dumbledore and Grindelwald. A heated on/off affair. Except over the course of multiple years.

Remus Lupin - bisexual. See above. Also, his actor at one point said he acted Remus like a “gay junkie.”

Gellert Grindelwald - ?. I strongly believe him and Dumbledore had some kind of heated affair during their time together, but I’m not sure if he actually returned Dumbledore’s feelings or if he was just using him or experimenting. And if he did return his feelings, he could be anything from gay to pan or bi.

Nymphadora Tonks - bisexual. I can’t really tell you why, I just got this feeling.
