Seeking volunteer opportunities for physically disabled people

Hello! I’ve been absolutely rotting since summer break started and wanted to see if there’s any volunteer work around town or accessible via the bus that I could do while sitting. I have balance and neuropathy issues so I can’t stand for very long or lift/carry stuff, but I have basic computer and math skills, dont suck with animals or people, and could probably do plenty of other stuff if presented with the task. Ashland would be preferable but I could feasibly get to Medford, it’s more about being close enough to a bus stop (within 3 blocks)

Surf and turf tostadas, first time making aguachile ❤️

I didn’t strain my chili water because I liked the body. The shrimp didnt come deveined so I got to deal with that for like an hour, and I over cooked my steak, but this is legitimately one of the best meals I’ve made this year.

Seeking examples of idol with dimensional blonde dye jobs as opposed to flat bleached blonde

Idk how to explain this well bc im not a hair stylist or beautician or whatever. But in Boompala Yunjin’s hair is just one shade of blonde with no lowlights or highlights to give it dimension. In the US most blondes go for dimension with some lighter and darker pieces. I’d love to see examples of idols with dimensional hair dye jobs! I understand why there likely aren’t many due to the time constraints of comebacks and how expensive dye jobs like that are, but there’s gotta be a couple at least! Maybe some of the longer term blondes? Also examples for any hair color are fine i was just thinking of Yunjin of LSF.

Nmixx has had such amazing artistic growth since debut

The mix pop thing was super controversial and unpopular when they first debuted, but people thought their dancing and vocals were good. Now Theyre known for some really gorgeous and sentimental songs like blue valentine and Heavy Serenade as well as absolute bangers like Dash. I wasn’t a big fan of their first year of CBs but now that they’re established Ive become a really big fan. (: They’ve come really far since debut and I think they deserve a little extra love today!

A very old scrapbook seemingly made over the pages of a school book

My parents used to flip antiques and let me have this out of a pile of stuff they were going to trash or donate. Sorry all the photos are sideways, Reddit won’t let me edit them. All the pieces are from magazines it seems like, only the photos in the first image are actual photographs.

My favorite neighbor I never met moved out

This lady was living at this apartment complex the first time I lived here 10 years ago, i moved out for a few years and came back 4 years ago, and she moved out this week. She always had plants in front of her door and hung laundry on a line, and had a couple of cute cats. I hope her new place is nicer!

Could my hair be gyaru with the right makeup?

Natural curls or waves dont seem like a gyaru thing, and Ive never seen color block hair in gyaru either. Think it could work? The first pick feels the most gyaru to me (obviously not that much bc I wasn’t wearing makeup lmfao).

A man does a prank on a woman and he’s justified bc it’s funny and she’s overreacting; a woman does a prank on a man and suddenly silly string is as dangerous as bear mace and shes an abuser

And apparently women need to get punched in the face to not spray “dAngErOuS cHemIcAls” in someone’s face, because women can only learn through violence! And that’s funny and reasonable to dozens of men!

I really need to mute any of the popular video subreddits. wtf. A woman pulls a bad prank and shes an abusive harpy and people are pulling up the chemical makeup of silly string to prove that what she did was over the line (she sprayed silly string at her husband and had her young son throw a water balloon).

I’ve seen pranks that dudes have pulled on their partners that could get them horribly hurt, and when their partners is angry after they “cant take a joke” “it was funny though!” “Nobody got hurt”

I think pranks are only funny to most people if women are getting scared or otherwise harmed. Women pulling pranks on men is almost always called abusive.

I have been sprayed in the face with silly string; I fucking lived. Maybe men just have more sensitive constitutions and can’t handle such simple things? Idk. I’m pissed off, and nobody deserves to be fucking punched for any god damn reason, and certainly not for playing a harmless if annoying prank on their husband with the help of their kid.

Men will find any fucking reason to justify violence against women.

How I explained it to a cis person I like very much

“Truly neither, bc it doesnt quite work like that for me. I’m more in a consistently neutral place. Displays of overt femininity or masculinity feel, in equal measures, like costumes. I don’t really feel like one or the other innately dependent on anything; it’s more like choosing different genres of music based on your mood. Or colors of pen to write with. You don’t want to eat the same thing every day, right? Or maybe you do! I can, for years at a time.

Yanno? It’s just. The weather.”

Anime about women struggling with mental health

I really need to identify with an anime this week, so I’d love any and all suggestions for anime about mentally women, preferably overtly stated but heavily implied is fine too. Not interested in “well she’s OBVIOUSLY depressed/crazy/etc”, the story should focus on her emotions and how her mental illness affects her life. It can be literal and realistic, a comedy, fantasy that’s metaphorical for mental illness, crime drama, really any genre is fine as long as it’s about a woman struggling with mental health or mental illness. The darker the better tho! Some heart wrenching soul searching is just as good as bloodshed.

I would argue Madoka Magika fits, cant think of many more off hand bc I only watch a few anime manically back to back every like 7 years or so for some reason

Should I bleach the front a little bit more?

I was going for an “oreo” hair vibe but I’m not sure I achieved it with how yellow parts of it are. Does it work or nah?

I have the opportunity to read the law instead of going to law school; as someone wanting to stay in county and state positions, should I take it?

So I’m a first gen-student and overly ambitious poor person from the middle of nowhere with the good fortune to have a great friendship with a successful attorney who works for a state county. Apparently a few great attorneys with careers all over the map came from her office from reading the law as opposed to attending law school. Ive been offered a paid position in the office once I complete my bachelors (sociology, which I absolutely love) and would get the opportunity to read the law with someone who passed the bar exam that way too.

What would you do in this situation? I’m plenty intelligent and know I could survive law school easily, and could likely get into a decent school on grades/extracurriculars/volunteer work. Paying for said schooling is a wildly different bag of chips though, and one that fills me with existential dread.

I am absolutely positive that working in law is what I want to do with my life, but the fork in the road is looming and I’ll have to commit to a path within the next year. Theoretically I could still do law school and work there, but I’d have to do online school because it’s in the middle of nowhere still.

What would you do with this opportunity? Any and all opinions and insight are appreciated!

Im bitter about my break up and need to rant for awhile

I’m a dedicated and loyal lover who believes in trying to fix things before throwing them away; people are mostly not into this style of love these days. Being a lover like that has HELLA drawbacks

I genuinely hope my existence leads him to remembering a bad time. Fuck it. I hope he’s tired and thirsty, and that he sleeps terribly. I hope flies make a home in his kitchen.

I hope his refrigerator fails and ruins his butter and eggs (he can afford to replace them 100x over)

I hope someone finally leaves a proper review for his salty, wilted salads and awful sandwiches. He buys the cheapest shit from Costco and charges $13 per sandwich. He isnt a chef, hes a fucking grifter.

I hope when I refuse to acknowledge him in the future, because I can’t avoid walking past his stupid sandwich and coffee stall at school, that he understands that he hurt a friend and not just a past lover with his actions.

I hope it fucking hurts. I hope hes as uncomfortable and sad as he made me.

I’m sick of neurodivergent men getting passes for harming neurodivergent women.

Fuck this guy. His food sucks and hes a shitty, bad person who’s willing to leave his friends when shit gets hard. He’s a deserter. A foe to the cause, and I hope is dumbass friends realize that.

The women’s rehab i went to had what appeared to be PH strips to use as in house pregnancy tests. I got out early for health reasons and am pregnant.

As far as I know nothing is actionable legally for this in the state of Oregon, but what the actual fuck? Thank GOD I got out when I did (im physically disabled and the facility wasnt equipped to give me accommodations). I cannot have children. We will all die. You can’t kill me and save the baby, it’s death from the uterus up, from conception.

The hacks at this rehab were more willing to get me sober than keep me alive.

Update: Im likely pregnant and seeking a termination. I’m immensely grateful for everyone who’s commented
