if anyone was genuinely curious what was the reason for my last post other than just the common feeling amongst most of us of hating the administration, they canceled a $12M grant that was going to be used to fix my city's water plant following a water crisis in january where we were all six days without clean water. we could not shower, drink, or go to work because of the water crisis unless you work somewhere like i do where we were being forced to come in. our grant was taken See More from us because the administration declared that the BRIC program was "ineffective and wasteful" and was more about a political agenda than actually helping us, which means that our city infrastructure is going to continue to fall apart. because of this administration, we could have another water crisis.
I'd strongly recommend investing in CleanLife waterless shampoo, conditioner & body wash. I haven't been able to purchase any yet myself, but apparently they supply nursing homes. I tend to wipe my face down with half a wet wipe in the morning and the other half at night for face wash routine, so that's an option too.
If they said you gotta boil the water, that See More means it might not be beyond cleaning. If you become desperate enough to need more drinking water, one method of cleaning it is 1) Filter the water through a bandana or T-shirt. 2) Filter again through a quality filtration system (Brita or Berkey or whatever brand). 3) Boil the filtered water.
Also, if you hit another crisis, post about it on here and Reddit and whatever other site ASAP, and include ways to donate to you, somebody is bound to help even if a little. If you gotta Cashapp, depending on how I'm doing at the time, I could drop you a few bucks too. That way y'all can stock up on jugs of water

@xxchild0fm0nstersxx i have no idea. we were instructed not to use britas and stuff, though! we were told the only way to be sure the water was safe was to boil it before use. what we had done was stockpile bottled waters (my mother is an opener at a local grocery store so we were able to get enough that time) but i'm not sure what another crisis would entail. See More i know our junky water filter didn't do much. we used the bottled water for makeshift showers, but it's definitely not ideal long-term.

That's beyond fücked up. I know multiple places (like Flint) are STILL struggling to get clean water, now they're ruining the water for MORE places??
How do you think you'll survive a future water crisis in the meantime? Was it too severe for one of those Brita water filters to help? I have these Coleman water purification tablets I got at Walmart for like 13$. See More They've come in handy when I was stranded in the middle of nowhere and had to get water from a marsh

and a lot of people around where i live aren't necessarily bothered because many of them can afford to go out and buy packs/gallons of clean water in the event that it happens again, but that's only like the upper %. people in my situation can't afford to drop $50 on water for an indeterminate amount of time.

life update
- i am 20! yay! my ten year qfeastiversary will be next month.
- i also went back to college. i am only taking two 7 week courses but they are effing me in the butt. i think i am also discovering a new spinterest, though, which is cool that i can identify it. yay feminism! i'm trying to get hold of some bell hooks books because i'm HUNGRY
- i have two tattoos scheduled this month! i am getting carlos tattooed on my arm and navi on my shoulder!
- i currently work every See More day except fridays and it's still not really enough to survive off of but i have been able to save some money and pay off my credit card bill, so it's fine for now.
- i am moving back in with my dad in july. it's not ideal, but it's what i have to do. i will have to give him 50% of my income + my insurance which will not leave me with a lot of money, but it's effing fine i guess. i am hoping to make more commission money in the future!
- aiming to go back to school full time sooner or later... i really want to move out of state, and with my job i can transfer pretty much anywhere in the country, it's just a matter of paying for it yk.
- i reached level 200 on fortnite! not that big a deal, but ya. been playing a lot with my little boy thing.
- my work is unionizing so hopefully there will be consistent hours and more money in my pocket.
- i'm really trying.
- i've been having awful endo flare-ups lately. fatigue for hours on end, it hurts so much to move, and i don't know what to do. i've been practically overdosing on ibuprofen, but it hasn't helped much. i wish i didn't have to deal with this. maybe i need another laparoscopy. my birth control means i don't have a consistent period anymore, but i am still having the symptoms. i'd try for a hysterectomy if i didn't want to have kids so much. like sure, there's always adoption or surrogacy or something, but i just like. want to do it myself. i wanna be a mom or something. i just don't know how much longer i can keep going with this pain.
- i've been thinking of going back to therapy, or at least seeing a psychiatrist to see if i can get like, adderall or something. my focus is getting very bad.
- i've also been thinking about trying for glp-1s for pcos management. i've heard it's yielded good results so far, and maybe i'll shed some weight off. i don't know. i don't really desire to lose weight as much as i desire being comfortable.
- ummm yeah.
