Disability funding cut could put me in mortal danger

I’m bedbound & can’t even walk for food & water; without disability care, I WOULD NOT SURVIVE.

By end of tonight, at least **$1394** MUST be raised for my care and for medicolegal fees, or I COULD BE KILLED by dehydration.

My CRPS leaves me permanently bedbound, unable to even walk to food/water

Without paid carers, I’d literally STARVE AND DEHYDRATE.

Despite medical evidence, the government has now refused me care (deprivation is widespread: [1] [2] [3] [4])

Raising enough donations for my care is now A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

Lack of paid cleaning could get me evicted and PERMANENTLY BANNED from rental subsidies. Being BEDBOUND, HOMELESSNESS WOULD KILL ME.

Without payment, my care can be terminated quickly w/ fatal results. And ~$700 medicolegal funds  are needed TONIGHT to avoid losing compensation + lifelong care

RECURRING DONATIONS (monthly/weekly/etc) could guarantee my ongoing care and would prevent CONSTANT FEARS FOR MY LIFE.

PLEASE DONATE HERE (one-off donations) Counter must reach:  at least $23,351 AUD To excl. expended old donations

PayPal donations here (counter target $18,442) And RECURRING DONATIONS can be made here & must be **registered at this link**.

Y’all seen this “swatting” story about two nerds beefing over $2 and ended up prank calling police who killed some innocent man minding his business on the other side of the country.

[afropvnkqueen-blog]

Just read the article: http://www.kansas.com/news/local/crime/article192111974.html Both the swatter and policeman should do time. Jailing the swatter is obvious (and will probably happen), but people are over looking that the officer simply fired as soon as the victim opened his door. Paid leave, of course. Swatter arrested: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/la-police-arrest-suspect-in-swatting-call-that-got-kansas-man-killed.html LATimes says the officer saw the man “make a move towards his belt”. His family was forced to sit outside in the cold and STEP OVER HIS BODY: http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-police-shooting-wichita-20171229-story.html Appalled. $100 billion a year on policing alone and departments still don’t have sufficient technology to tell whether or not a call is coming from out of state. Two bucks is all it takes. I bet the cam footage will suddenly disappear as well. The swatter should definitely go down for manslaughter at the least, but the policeman shouldn’t slide scott free. Can’t wait to see how the police spin this innocent man as a threat when he was simply answering his door with no idea of what was coming to him.

[afropvnkqueen-blog]

The fact that the police expects us to believe that this man opened his door in the middle of the night to see a swarm of police in gear and docked with guns all of a sudden “make a move towards his belt” is insulting our intelligence. If a whole team police can’t detain one unarmed man opening his door without murdering him, what the hell are they useful for?

[onlyblackgirl]

I don’t understand how the police didn’t think something was up when the caller was from Los Angeles and the address they gave was in fucking Kansas and they said they get about 400 swatting cases a year but just decided to start shooting when someone opened the door.

So cops are basically free hitmen now.

Yesterday I went to buy some yarn and so you know how annoying it is when fucking people put those stupid bullshit “don’t use this, wool is murder” PETA stickers on the label?

First of all, stop defacing stock in someone’s store. You’re not clever or saving the planet or anything. You’re making it hard for customers to shop and see the info they need on the label (yardage, weight, dye lot)… You’re making employees spend hours peeling the damn things off, and in some cases, you’re causing damage to the label and or yarn itself. That means loss to the company, which affects employees who probably make minimum wage, you shit bags. You want to make change happen? Contact corporate, you fuckhead. That’s where decisions are made.

Second of all, wool is not murder. Are you fucking stupid? (Obviously the answer is yes). It’s a fucking haircut for a sheep. They’ve been domesticated so long that if we don’t sheer them, it’s bad. Yes, some sheep don’t live in ideal conditions. Got a problem with that? Going to a yarn store and putting stickers on things isn’t going to change it or the minds of customers. For fuck’s sake, you absolute cockwomble, go to the yarn companies. Make them use wool providers that use humane conditions for their yarn, like A LOT OF YARN COMPANIES DO.

And third of all.

You. You precious, empty-headed little shitnugget. You complete and total sawdust-for-brains.

You put your fucking stickers all over acrylic yarn.

There’s no fucking wool in there. It’s all synthetic fiber. Basically, it’s plastic.

You fucking dumbass.

[naturalknowledge-deactivated202]

I’m crying right now, please help

My abusive mother just told me that she “accidentally” threw away my passport when she was spring cleaning.

Guys, I’m supposed to be travelling overseas on January 10 to reconnect with my dad and discuss the possibility of him supporting me. After struggling to survive for months, this was supposed to be my chance at finally getting financial support.

But now I’m absolutely devastated. My mother will stop at nothing to keep me financially screwed and relying on food banks to live.

I MAY be able to get a new passport in time, but I would have to pay so many fees. $277 for a new one and $183 for it to be processed quickly.

if you can, maybe donate a few bucks to help me at http://paypal.me/gracchas ?

I KNOW THIS ISN’T THE MOST URGENT THING BUT I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS TRIP MEANS TO ME. I HAVEN’T SEEN MY FATHER IN YEARS. I WANT HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE HIM FOR YEARS AFTER THIS BECAUSE THIS WAS A ONE-TIME ONLY DEAL. I CAN’T LET MY MOTHER DO THIS TO ME.

PLEASE HELP AND REBLOG IF YOU CAN

If this post upsets you, please just keep scrolling

i think it’s a shame that so many people speak perfect english just from the internet/tv and get no real recognition for it. there’s this horrible assumption that being fluent in english is just a given (propaganda from americans in cargo shorts i believe) and english is brushed off as an “easy” language. that isn’t the case at all and if you’ve learned english that’s amazing and im honestly in awe. i hate that people achieve so much to reach the minimum expectation, and then english speakers will pat themselves on the back for being able to count to 10 in french

‘A Wrinkle in Time’ Is Just As Important As Black Panther

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Black Panther film, directed by Ryan Coogler, is being celebrated for the cast’s inclusivity and the film’s respect to African culture (at least so far). …

“If A Wrinkle in Time succeeds at the box office, it could open the door for not only more directors of color being given budges of $100 million+, it could also lead to non-white leads being cast in films. Maybe, our dream of seeing Percy Jackson adapted with three non-white leads could actually happen.”

[sly2o]

“Black Panther is a special situation, because it’s Black characters from the comic books. They couldn’t exactly change the race of T’Challa and his cast; they would be fundamentally changing the story, and the point of it. T’Challa’s Blackness is something special, something that adds to his royalty. But with A Wrinkle in Time, these characters could have been any race. They could have been white. But Ava chose to make a majority of them people of color – which is tremendously important.”

Reblog or retweet this over and over

[aleshakills]

And to piggyback on that post, copaganda shows aren’t meant to make you “love cops.” They’re meant to make you view police as individuals, and not institutions. That’s why every one of these shows, from Law and Order to present, has “bad cops” on the cast. Crooked cops, racist cops, misogynistic cops, asshole cops. They’re presented as the antagonists, in opposition to the “good” gay cops and black cops and single mom cops and dad who does his little girl’s hair cops. 

If they can convince you to individualize cops into the good ones and the bad ones, even on a subconscious level, that’s half the battle. That gets their foot in the door. Cause now they can put forward the “good cops” to push legislation to increase their budgets. They can get “good cops” to testify to juries. “Good cops” who are gay or black or parents or older siblings would never falsify evidence or brutalize unarmed civilians or lie to protect a coworker, right?

Except when they do.

this is fantastic now children in Puerto Rico wont be able to receive the education they deserve thanks to their messed up government

[dionysusbisexual]

Its even worse than that. I’m living through it. Not only are schools closing, hospitals are collapsing. Only around 9% of the island has electricity and it comes and goes at times.

People are dying in hospitals because of lack of diesel for the generators, a lot of the water is now infected, there are disease outbreaks and scareceness of food. I am safe, but many are not.

Some have water, others don’t. We need help. Sending money would be helpful but what would help even more would be sending water filters, filtering water bottles, food, medicine, if somehow possible diesel.

All of you reblogging this news helps, but what we need is physical help. If you can’t, then spread the word, but God if you can send supplies… Please… PLEASE do. We are dying. Help us, help us save ourselves. Help us save our people. Help us save out ISLAND.

[airyairyquitecontrary-deactivat]

If you’re not in a position to ship or transport useful items to the island (which is sure as heck the case for me in New Zealand) then the best thing you can do is give money to a reputable relief organisation operating in the area.

Choose the fundraiser you want from the dropdown menu in the “Your Information” section (as you can see from the picture they have several).

Me trying to explain to the gays why call me by your name and all similar media depicting sexual relationships between teens and adults are detrimental to our community because they can easily be manipulated into a tool for predatory men to groom lonely queers kids who are desperate for affection and don’t have a safe space to explore their sexuality within their peer group.
