Shrill: Fat White Women 101
A specific story for a specific audience
On March 15, 2019 Shrill made its big debut on the smaller screen as a Hulu original series. By March 17, I had finished the first season and my overwhelming emotional response was “eh”. I waited for other reviews/critiques to come out to see if anyone else could capture why I feel so indifferent before I could find a way to put it into words.

A friend of mine was left unemployed for a month when her place of work burned down. She tried to apply for unemployment but never heard back from them and therefore fell behind on rent. She faces eviction from her apartment very soon if she can’t come up with the rent she missed in a short amount of time. I know there are many social crises happening at the moment that people may be donating to but anything you can give will really help. Even if you can’t help please share!

Hey Guys,
So I had a really bad fall back in October, lost 2 teeth, and had to have 2 more teeth pulled because they were shook loose in the fall. I’m trying to have implant surgery to have the four teeth replaced but it is so expensive :(. I was hoping my insurance would be able to cover more, but they’re only covering a small portion, ($2,000), because dental implants are considered cosmetic. I’ve been wearing a partial denture so far and aesthetically it’s fine; but I cant eat with them and they’re ill fitting because it was all I could afford at the time. I’m a full time student and work full time. After paying for all my medical expenses and dental x-rays I have only 3,000 saved for the procedure. The full procedure is roughly $11,000 with the insurance. So if anyone can please please please donate I’d greatly appreciate it. I wouldn’t ask if didn’t need the help. Also quick warning, my you caring page has some graphic pictures of me after the accident, like my stitched lips and my x-ray from before I got my teeth pulled.

This illustrates how American society is designed to destroy the psyches of black children as early as possible.
That first comment is irking because Black boy’s have sooo many programs and countless people dedicated to helping them but this one study is focused on Black girls but he says it should include Black boys as well? No the fuck it shouldn’t. Misogynoir and colorism is very real and effecting our young Black girls very negatively and something needs to be done about that.
12 Arrested At NYC Pride Parade Outside Stonewall Inn
Twelve people were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after obstructing the NYC LGBT Pride March outside the Stonewall Inn, police said on Sunday. Marching behind a sign that read “No Cops, No Banks,” the demonstrators appeared to be protesting the increasing corporatization and police involvement with the annual event.
This is important. IG: @fatangryblackgirl
Black women really are on another level 👑
👏👏👏👏👏👏
There is not one thing magical about this. She shouldn’t have to do this. Are y'all serious right now???? Like y'all should go read about how the father basically just shows up to sleep with her and she ends up pregnant again because she has a condition that makes her ovulate more than necessary and in turn her body rejects birth control and almost kills her. 😒 Quit calling black women that have to go through shit like this magical. Yes, she loves all her children, but the whole situation is stressful. Imagine the toll this takes on her body, and most of her kids hella young and can barely do for themselves. Stop calling these situations magical because she’s black and has no choice but to survive how she can with her kids, while the father does nothing.
I need a trustworthy gofundme for this woman. I’m going to look into this.
I need a way to support her MONETARILY, because using hand clap emojis to somehow applaud her for being hyper fertile and a man using her and leaving her isn’t cutting it. No.
Her GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/care-for-mariam-her-38-children
She is only asking for 10k and so far she is at $1,000. I am definitely donating some money.
There are some heartless comments in the notes calling her irresponsible and careless. Those people have obviously not taken the few minutes to watch this heart wrenching video.

She [Mariam Nabatanzi] was married off at 12 years of age after surviving death; allegedly at her stepmother’s hands who apparently pounded glass and mixed it in the food she gave Nabatanzi and her four siblings. Her husband is an absentee father & husband so she supports her children by doing odd jobs. At 39, Nabatanzi has 38 children whom she has delivered from home except the last born who is four months old. She was delivered by caesarean section. Among her children are six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruples and single births. Ten of these are girls and the rest are boys. The oldest is 23 years old while the youngest four months. 20841954_1496518771.2705_funddescription Married off Nabatanzi breaks down when she recalls what she went through upon getting married. In 1993, she was married off to a 40-year-old man. “I did not know I was being married off. People came home and brought things for my father. When time came for them to leave, I thought I was escorting my aunt but when I got there, she gave me away to the man.” Starting a family Her father-in-law gave them a piece of land to start their family, a family for which she planned to have six children. In 1994, when she was 13, Nabatanzi gave birth to twins. Two years later, she gave birth to triplets and a year and seven months after that added a set of quadruplets. This, she says was nothing strange to her because she had seen it before in her lineage. “My father gave birth to 45 children with different women and these all came in quintuplets, quadruples, twins and triplets,” she says. Indeed, Dr Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital and President of gynaecologists and obstetricians, says it is very possible for Nabatanzi to have taken after her father. “Her case is genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (releasing multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having multiples; it is always genetic,” he explains. By her sixth delivery, Nabatanzi had had 18 children and wanted to stop, so, she went to see a doctor at Namaliili Hospital. The problem The doctor told Nabatanzi that she could not be stopped then because she had a high ovary count which would eventually kill her if she stopped. “Having these unfertilised eggs accumulate poses not only a threat to destroy the reproductive system but can also make the woman lose their lives,” Dr Ahmed Kikomeko from Kawempe General Hospital explains. “I was advised to keep producing since putting this on hold would mean death. I tried using the Inter Uterine Device (IUD) but I got sick and vomited a lot, to the point of near death. I went into a coma for a month,” she explains. At the age of 23 with now 25 children, she went back to hospital to try and stop. “I was checked in at Mulago Hospital and advised to continue producing since the ovary count was still high.” No way to stop? Kiggundu explains that women’s ovaries are at times suppressed and stopped from ovulating. “The suppressed eggs later pile up and are released at once and here, the higher the chances of fertilizing many eggs, the higher the chances of all of them dying, Nabatanzi was lucky,” he says. “She must have been super ovulating, releasing many eggs in a cycle.” He adds that Nabatanzi could have been helped if she had really wanted to stop producing, but some people are not well informed. At the birth of her four-month-old child who was delivered by C-section in December last year, she says; “I asked the doctor to stop me from more births and he said he had ‘cut my uterus from inside’. This was my only Cesarean delivery because I was still weak from the sickness I suffered when I tried to use an IUD.” Nabatanzi’s 25 years in marriage has been characterised by humiliation and torture. “I have been tortured countless times by my husband; he beats to the pulp when I try to reason with him over any issue, especially when he gets home drank. He does not provide for basic needs and welfare of the family; the children hardly know who he is since he is an absent father who gives his children names over the phone and not physically,” she says. Charles Musisi, 23, her eldest son says their father disappeared and they have grown up only with their mother’s love. “I can comfortably tell you that our siblings do not know what father looks like. I last saw him when I was 13 years old and only briefly in the night because he rushed off again,” he says, adding that they do not know the happiness of living with a father and they only rely on their mother as their both mother and father. Nabatanzi says her husband spends close to a year without coming home and when he does, he just sneaks into the house late in the night and leaves very early in the morning. “I carry these humiliations because my aunt advised me to always endure in marriage and have my children as the center of focus. She advised me not to produce children from different men.” The education challenge Nabatanzi is optimistic about seeing her children through school, something her father could not do for her. Despite being a Primary Two dropout, she has managed to educate her children. One of her first born twins has a certificate in nursing and the other in building although they have not found jobs yet. Nabatanzi’s five-year-old son who was diagnosed with a heart problem early this year worries her as she has to spend Shs120, 000 a week to buy him medicine. “In January, the doctors at Mulago Hospital advised me to raise Shs35m in nine months to have him taken to India for an operation. Since I do not have this money yet, I buy him medicine to help him cope in the meantime,” she says. Nabatanzi finds solace in her children as the family she never had while growing up. “I wish I could get a helping hand to help me with my children’s schooling, which is my major concern. I stopped looking to my husband for anything. I’m only focusing on raising my children and I am determined to do,” she explains. Home care The older children help with their siblings and the general home administration. “I enjoy taking care of my children myself though. My children are my joy and I pride caring for them. I cook, wash and bathe them with ease. Children grow better under a mother’s love and care,” she says. Health Nabatanzi says she delivers her children naturally and she has always felt fine after each delivery until her recent C-section birth after which she started to develop backache after doing some home chores. “My daughter who studied nursing used to take care of me during pregnancy. Eventually, I learnt how to do this, so I have not had any difficulties or complications with my pregnancies,” she explains.

There’s nothing more punk than black womanhood. There’s nothing more grunge than black femme survival.
i really, really hate to do this again, but i have no other real choice at the moment as i am looking for another job in order to help supplement my current income from my artwork and sw. as far as my previous donation post - the water has successfully been turned on and my section 8 inspection went well in terms of them having no issues on the tenant side, but lots of flagged issues on the landlord’s side.
my landlord is kind of a piece of shit. he, after receiving the above letter (they send it to both the tenant and the owner/landlord), paid us a visit and talked about the issues that the inspector had with the apartment. his main concern was the carpet. this carpet has been here long before we ever lived here, it’s ugly and dirty no matter how much you shampoo it, there are stains that are unexplained and completely stuck to the carpet no matter what you do to try to get it off, sometimes it smells of ammonia from the previous tenants pitbulls who apparently just did their business in the house.
we were told, and i quote, “well, i’m not saying anything for sure, but most of the time in situations like this it’s easier to just let the thirty days run out, move you guys out, fix the place up once your stuff is all moved out, then rent it to someone else and raise the rent.”
he’s a genuine slumlord as i’ve mentioned in previous posts. the first photo is all of my current account balances. i have about $23 dollars to my name in cash currently. we do not have the means to move, and we’re both sure that this is going to end up being the case.
we do not have a vehicle and until i get any calls back from jobs i’ve applied to, this is the only money we have. even then, i have to wait a minimum two weeks before i’ll even get a paycheck, and working minimum wage even at 5-6 days/40hrs a week+, that paycheck likely won’t even cover the deposit on another place to live after taxes, etc.
we need at least $600 for a deposit, as we cannot have a one bedroom due to section 8 rules in my city. we also need an undetermined amount to activate all the utilities at the new place, unsure of how much exactly that’ll run us, we figure somewhere between $170-$220, we also need to rent a u-haul in order to move, at the very least, the essentials - we’re willing to leave a lot behind just in order to make sure we’re safely in another home and not on the street, the people we spoke with on the phone @ u-haul quoted us around $260 for what we need altogether.
i’m 21 years old with a lot of mental illnesses (clinical & manic depression, generalized anxiety disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, i’ve attempted suicide more than i’d like to admit - and recently, at that), and i live with my mother who is disabled and has been since 2004, she has no income as social security denied her disability three times and she cannot appeal again. she has chronic fatigue, spondylosis of several vertebrae in her upper and lower spine, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, and a whole list of more medical issues that make it difficult for her to do small things like housework or cooking or sometimes even bathing, so i do my best to help her.
please, i’m not too proud to beg, if you can donate anything at all to help keep my mom and i from being on the street, i will be forever grateful. and if you can’t, please signal boost this post!

UPDATE!!!!
in the past ~72 ours, i’ve only gotten two donations totaling $23, and while i appreciate every single dollar, my time to come up with more funds in order to keep my mother and i off the street is limited.
it is currently 5/27/17 - the next inspection is 5/31/17.
none of the major repairs have even begun, and i have a video (click here to view) of my landlord telling us that we won’t have a place to stay if the inspection fails unless we can pay him $600 out of pocket for the month of june, and if i am able to do that, he can finish the repairs and go back to section 8 and have another inspection done in june, if that passes, we will be able to continue living here and will not have to pay out of pocket.
HOWEVER…
this man has proven himself to be unreliable, he has previously told us that he also might not even deal with the repairs, let it fail, get us out, fix it, raise the rent, and get a new tenant. so, in preparation for the worst, as the repairs aren’t getting done and we have FOUR days until inspection, it truly looks like we are going to have to move unless we do not have the means to do so, in which case we will be homeless.
PLEASE, if you can, DONATE. i have been having panic attacks and emotional breakdowns for days on end and the future is very, very uncertain for my mom and i. please signal boost, encourage your followers to donate if they can, anything helps. thank you.

Minimum wage: $7.25
$7.25 x 40 hour full time work week: $290
$290 x 4 weeks per month: $1,160
In every Southern state (didn’t have time to look at the rest of the country) you can find some sort of studio apartment for around $500 per month, sometimes less than that. Why bother lying about something so easily disproven?
Because Bernie Sanders supporters aren’t going to fact check him, and they’ll ignore any contrary evidence that’s presented to them anyways.
Things like this really tick me off and It’s not political or anything but it’s the fact that you think all that money is there. Here’s what I mean;
That weekly check comes to, according to you, 290. Most places DO NOT pay for your half hour lunch that is required by law. So your beginning number was wrong. $7.25 x 7.5 hours a day x 5 days a week only gets you $271.88. Most people in America get paid bi-weekly, so let’s double it to get the budget. $543.75. That’s GROSS, not NET. Out of that comes anywhere between 10% and 15% taxes depending on state so we’ll low ball it at 10%. Automatically down to $489.38 a pay check. Now health insurance. Usually anywhere from 70-100 a pay check for the cheapest plans. Again, we’ll low ball and go $70. So now we have $419.39 a paycheck. x 2 = $839.
Eight hundred thirty nine dollars. A MONTH.
But again, you seem to think that’s fair. So let’s proceed. You say rent is $500? Okay. This person now has $339 left to buy groceries for the whole month, pay utilities, car payment, car insurance, and gas money to get to work.
Those are the bare needs. You have to eat. You have to pay for heat, water, garbage removal, gas and or electricity because apartments do not always include things and rarely all of the above. Most cities in America do not have public transportation. Mine doesn’t despite the fact that our population is over 15,000 people, not counting a taxi. If you have a car, you have to pay that. If you have a car, legally you have to have car insurance. You have to pay that. You have to have gas in that car to get to work to make that money.
Now if you can tell me you can get all of that out of $339 you’re lying.
You are so focused on rent that you aren’t thinking about everything else people have to pay for. Rent was an example. This is a breakdown of the budget you gave me and it’s not possible to live off that in 2017 America.
And BECAUSE this person makes over $800 a month, they probably won’t qualify for financial aid or food stamps. $800 is the line in my state where they won’t help you. No food stamps, financial aid, or government housing if you make more than $800 a month.
Why does it bother you that people deserve to live above the poverty line?
She did THAT
Come on, we do know why they don’t teach us that.
