There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.

I like reading & writing fic both with & without smut. Objectively my “best” fic, the one people like the most, is ABO and no smut. It mentions sex and masturbation, but that’s it. And I love so many fics that are G or T rated.

Tips & Safety Guidelines for Tropical Cyclones (Hurricanes)

What is a Tropical Cyclone?

• A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone that can cause high winds, torrential rain fall, flooding, and the most dangerous of all, storm surges. This can last up to days, or weeks if the storm in over open water. The storm can move rapidly and sporadically across the entire length of the eastern seaboard, its coastal areas and barrier islands. 
• According to the National Hurricane Center, a hurricane is primarily defined by its windspeed, which must be 74mph (118 kph) or greater. Anything less than  74mph (118 kph) is classified as a tropical storm.

Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Damage Potential Scale

• A scale that was created to categorize hurricanes based on barometric pressure (in inches), wind speeds (in miles per hour), storm surge (in feet) and potential damage based on the previous three components. If you want to learn more about the Saffir-Simpson scale, click here.
• If you would like to read more in-depth information of the Saffir-Simpson scale and their potential damage predictions and examples, click here.

During a Hurricane

If a hurricane is (likely) in your area, you should:

• Stay informed by monitoring the storm via radio, TV, and internet.
• Secure your home, close storm shutters, and secure outdoor objects or bring them indoors. Objects such as lawn furniture, trash barrels, hanging plants, toys, and even awnings can be broken and picked up by strong winds and potentially become a projectile!!!
• Turn off utilities if instructed by authorities to do so. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting and keep its doors closed.
• Turn off propane tanks.
• Avoid using the phone, except for serious emergencies.
• Have a certain amount of cash available. If power is lost, ATMs may not be working.
• Moor your boat if time permits.
• Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purposes such as cleaning and flushing toilets. Fill the bathtub and other large containers with water.

You should evacuate under the following conditions:

• If you are directed by local authorities to do so. Be sure to follow their instructions.
• If you live in a mobile home or temporary structure—such shelters are particularly hazardous during hurricanes—no matter how well fastened to the ground.
• If you live in a high-rise building—hurricane winds are stronger at higher elevations.
• If you live on the coast, on a floodplain, near a river, or on an inland waterway.
• If you feel that you are in danger.

If you are unable to evacuate, go to your safe room. If you do not have one, follow these guidelines:

• Stay indoors and away from windows and glass doors.
• Close all interior doors—secure and brace external doors.
• Keep curtains and blinds closed. Do not be fooled if there is a lull; it could be the eye of the storm—winds will pick up again.
• Take refuge in a small interior room, closet, or hallway on the lowest level.
• Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object.

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories and has more information about the current hurricanes, potential disturbances and key messages for each storm. For more information visit their website.

anyway if you support ANYTHING related to white nationalism/supremacy/nazism/racism please unfollow and block me. this is space is not welcome to you. in fact, no spaces should be welcome to you. 

I started to put this in my tags but I want to be clear about this: when I reblog this I’m not just talking about people being active skinheads. I’m also talking to people who think the response to Nazism is calling for ‘civil discourse.’ People who support Nazis demonstrating or gathering safely. People who wring their hands over the idea of not allowing Nazis to be safe. People who think Nazism is just an opinion. You’re complicit too.

Vote 👏🏼 in 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 2018 👏🏼 Midterm 👏🏼 Elections 👏🏼

SERIOUSLY

If you vote in Democrats, they’ll be able to block Trump’s policies

It’s not just that they’ll be able to block Drumpf’s policies for the (hopefully only) remaining two years: the
entire House of Representatives is up for re-election in 2018. Whoever
wins the House in 2018 will still control it in 2020, when we have our
next census. This means we voting districts will get to be redrawn and if Republicans retain control of the House in
2020, they will make gerrymandering even worse than it is now, which
already favors them.

But the odds are severely in favor of Republicans for 2018. The election is ridiculously lopsided:
23 Democrat seats and both (there are only 2) Independent seats (who
Caucus with Dems) will be up for the taking compared to only 8
Republican seats.

Not to mention midterm election turnout is always far less than POTUS elections and Republicans consistently turn out for midterms while non-Republicans fail to show up worse than they normally do.

It gets worse. This is the Senate race in 2018:

1. Arizona – Currently Republican
2. California – Currently Democrat
3. Connecticut
   – Currently Democrat

4. Delaware
   – Currently Democrat

5. Florida
   – Currently Democrat

6. Hawaii
   – Currently Democrat

7. Indiana
   – Currently Democrat

8. Maine
   – Currently Independent
9. Maryland
   – Currently Democrat

10. Massachusetts
    – Currently Democrat

11. Michigan
    – Currently Democrat

12. Minnesota
    – Currently Democrat

13. Mississippi
    – Currently Republican

14. Missouri
    – Currently Democrat

15. Montana
    – Currently Democrat

16. Nebraska
    – Currently Republican

17. Nevada
    – Currently Republican

18. New Jersey
    – Currently Democrat

19. New Mexico
    – Currently Democrat

20. New York
    – Currently Democrat

21. North Dakota
    – Currently Democrat

22. Ohio
    – Currently Democrat

23. Pennsylvania
    – Currently Democrat

24. Rhode Island
    – Currently Democrat

25. Tennessee
    – Currently Republican

26. Texas
    – Currently Republican

27. Utah
    – Currently Republican

28. Vermont

    – Currently Independent

29. Virginia
    – Currently Democrat

30. Washington
    – Currently Democrat

31. West Virginia
    – Currently Democrat

32. Wisconsin
    – Currently Democrat

33. Wyoming
    – Currently Republican
    

All of the states in bold were awarded to Drumpf, 11 of which are currently held by Democrats. Republicans hold a 52 seat majority right now. If they can maintain the 8 seats they have to defend, they only need 8 Democrat and/or Independent seats to have a 60 seat supermajority and the power to pass basically anything they want under Trump for two years.

If you think it’s catastrophic now (and it is), imagine Drumpf and the Republicans with a 60 seat supermajority for two years plus a Republican House with the power to redistrict in 2020.

And that is why organizing now is critical. Getting people to run against every GOP House Member and tying every action by Trump to them. Make the 2018 elections ALL ABOUT TRUMP. This is also about taking back Governor’s Mansions. 

It is NOT impossible, but it requires effort. 2018 elections efforts SHOULD ALREADY BE UNDERWAY!

@ all my american followers

Important note: States redistrict. Not Congress. So, while it’s important to keep Trump from making gains it’s also crazy important to work on state legislature races.

ALL OF THIS

Just to add: PLEASE double check your polling place guys (i cannot stress how important it is that you vote at your correct polling place, too many votes are getting thrown out for bs reasons)! Assembly/Election districts were redrawn recently, the only reason I even found out my polling place was changed IS BECAUSE I WORK AS A POLL WORKER, THEY *HAD* TO TELL ME, otherwise I wouldnt have thought to double check! theyre pulling all kinds of shit this year kiddos, be extra vigilant
