honestly life’s too short to not cry about stupid shit like sometimes you just gotta fling yourself onto your bed and burst into tears, cleanse ur little heavy heart
This is an actual unfunny important announcement I need to make for anyone who interacted with me at my booth at Dragon Con.
This past Saturday I came down with obvious symptoms of Chicken pox. The incubation period is 10-14 days after exposure. I loaded in mid day Thursday so I do not know if I was exposed at D.C. Or exposed the weekend prior at Grant Park. Either way if you interacted with me at D.C. you were exposed too.
I want to say a few things up front, I am normally meticulous about not being around people when I am sick and the idea that I have exposed fans to this is mortifying on a scale that I am not sure I can convey. I sincerely apologize if I have made anyone sick. I had no symptoms and had no idea, but I feel an apology is in order regardless.
The reason I have chicken pox is because I never caught it as a child even though I was exposed and for about a decade I was unable to get the vaccine because of a medical condition. After that condition was no longer an issue, I honestly forgot. The doctors office doesn’t offer it, unless you ask and I didn’t which was a failure on my part.
Yes I have reported it since I exposed people to this illness likely in the thousands. I reported it to the urgent care facility, along with where I got it and the groups I exposed. They should report it to the CDC, but I have also taken that step myself just in case they didn’t.
Allow me to apologize again.
Thank you for your attention.
I feel like I have a mild cold, but my face is currently paying for my sins.
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( xxx )
The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( xxx )
Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( xxx )
^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups
Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.
A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.
hey you know that trope where a guy ends up being destined to do some great task that a woman spent her whole life preparing for and she must train him until he surpasses her and he eventually beats her while sparring and theres sexual tension?
