The other day I was washing my hands and another woman came out the stall a couple seconds after I did. She wasn’t cis, and a different woman waiting for someone to finish up looked angry and opened her mouth to say something. Before she could, I smiled real friendly a this woman who’s just trynna wash her hands and told her I loved her skirt, and we started talking clothes.
The waiting woman was still clearly pissed but she didn’t say anything because she knew I wouldn’t have her back. That’s all it took to keep some poor lady just trynna scrub up from getting harassed.
Sometimes doing the right thing is really hard and kinda scary. Other times all it takes is making it clear that you won’t support someone’s nastiness. It’s a little enough thing to do your part.
Cis women: read this.
Great tip, thank you. I like to think that I’d have no problem standing up and telling someone to go fuck themselves in the event they did actually say something nasty, but preventing that situation is clearly 100 million times better than defending a harassed person after the fact.
Long story short the random assortment of people who will call or show up for a job interview is basically the opposite of what traffickers want and they are even less likely to want teens looking for an after school job because those kids will be noticed as missing immediately.
Traffickers target marginalized groups, including immigrants, victims of domestic violence, runaways, drug addicts, and other people who won’t be noticed right away if they go missing, or whose connections aren’t likely to contact the police.
That being said, pretty much everything being advertised on a sign like that is some kind of scam, fraud, or MLM thing where you’re going to lose money and get sucked into doing a lot of work while you’re losing money, so you still shouldn’t call those numbers, but reporting these kinds of signs to trafficking tip-lines uses resources that could be used to prevent more common or dangerous kinds of human trafficking.
Sex trafficking, probably not. Shady as hell and 100% never legitimate, do not even contact them? ABSOLUTELY.
During the seventeenth century, scarcely a year passed without a serious outbreak of fever, cholera, plague, small pox, or typhus. To support the Christian view of life as a preparation for a holy death, people liked to carry with them powerful reminders of mortality, especially the skull and crossed bones as occur here.
I found a really good book that I think will help!
It’s really easy to follow and has a wide variety of plants:
You can basically find the plant listed that looks most like the plant you have, and go to the page listed under it. And it’ll say how to care for it!
Here’s an example ^ not only does it say what lighting and watering it needs like most books, but it also lists the different things that can go wrong with this plant and which make us think it’s dying. Like wilting being too much water, edges crisping being not enough misting, what sunburn on this plant looks like, etc.
A common mistake people make that kills plants is too much water or not enough water, it can be tricky until you get used to your plant’s needs! This explains watering techniques really well.
And a bunch of other stuff it shows you, like buying the best plant for your environment, repotting them, feeding them, all sorts of things!
