I have COVID,

BUT I WANT TO GO HOME AFTER I AM BETTER. PLEASE HELP ME.

I knew it, there was a gut feeling I had when I was tested last week. That gut feeling you get when you know there is nothing but dread ahead. And now here it is. Thank you for your support on getting me tested. For reblogging, I appreciate it so much 😭

But now I would need to rally again because I want to go back to the US. I want to be with people who understands me better. Because even if I really want to finish college here, I think it will be downhill from here. I will not care so much if I will be homeless over the holidays as long as I am in my own soil. Because I am alone and lonely here in the philippines. Because I am scared of dying alone amongts people who don’t know me or accept me, yes, I am a black, bisexual woman. And it is not very common here so it could be why I am not getting enough respect or civility here. Please help me go home. I know plane tickets are expensive, from the last time I checked, from Cebu, it is at about $1400 but I will bury my shame and ask again for help. I don’t have a solid plan of where I will stay but I am asking some people already of what I can do when I get there. I will not stay in anyone’s home, it will be risky for them and I understand that. I will find a way. Thank you for the offers. Now I just really need to get over this virus and then go back home.

It'll be all I want for Christmas.

PLEASE HELP ME GO HOME.

Headlines that prove you can write an article about someone coming out without deadnaming them! It’s not hard!

Congrats, Elliot, we love you!

[blackness-by-your-side]

The sign of high quality is the fact the book was banned by the government. Trash literature NEVER EVER had any troubles with the law.

[cuntybearjamboree]

FARENHEIT 451 IS ON THE BANNED BOOKS LIST??? IT’S LITERALLY ABOUT THE SOCIETAL DANGERS OF BANNING/OUTLAWING/BURNING BOOKS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[dancing-coyote]

That’s the reason it’s on the bloody list.

BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT HOW BANNING AND BURNING BOOKS IS WRONG.

[unlimitedgamesbutnogames]

HERE’S ALL THE PDF VERSIONS I COULD FIND SINCE WE’RE ALL IN QUARANTINE AND WE CAN’T PHYSICALLY GET THE BOOKS WE DON’T HAVE

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Autobiography of Malcolm X

Beloved

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (this was the only free version I could find, and it’s a downloadable thing, so do so with caution)

The Call of the Wild

Catch-22 (it was either this version or one where the entire thing was in comic sans font)

The Catcher in the Rye

Fahrenheit 451

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Gone With the Wind

The Grapes of Wrath

The Great Gatsby

Howl

In Cold Blood

Invisible Man

The Jungle (personally I don’t like this formatting, but the site doesn’t look sketchy so…) - there’s also this which is the proper book format in a pdf, but it’s directly photocopied so it might be hard to read some of the print

Leaves of Grass

Moby Dick

Native Son

Our Bodies, Ourselves (we learned about this one in APUSH!)

The Red Badge of Courage

The Scarlet Letter

COULD NOT FIND Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (the ebook is 47 fucking dollars??? and i can’t even find sketchy websites that’ll let me download a pdf. if anyone manages to find a link, lmk please)

Stranger in a Strange Land

A Streetcar Named Desire

Their Eyes Were Watching God

To Kill a Mockingbird

Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Where the Wild Things Are (this is a slideshow!!!! how fun)

COULD NOT FIND The Words of Cesar Chavez (however I did manage to download the first 71 pages of the book from EBSCO and I put it here but I couldn’t get the rest. sorry y’all)

korra vs public officials 💢❤️

[cabbagemerchantofficial]

please consider

[mushroomjar]

[ID: Many different screencaps of Korra from The Legend of Korra standing up against public officials.

1: Korra is riding on top of Naga, and while doing so, kicks a police officer in the face.

2: The scene from episode 1 where Korra meets Lin for the first time. In the screencap, she is leaving the questioning room, and she is mocking how Lin made an expression to signify she’d keep an eye on her.

3: Korra is in Air Temple Island and kicks the Raiko’s assistant away from her.

4: Korra is making a non-chalant, dismissive gesture to someone off-screen.

5: A screencap of the scene where Korra leans over the counter to grab a police officer’s chin and move his head up and down while mocking him and calling him the worst police officer ever.

6: The scene where Korra grabs Judge Hotah by the collar of his clothes and slams him against his mobile.

7: Korra is seen grabbing Raiko’s chin, much the same way she grabbed the police officer’s chin in a previous screencap.

8: Korra is storming off after talking to the Earth Queen and she uses her arm to forcefully push away a servant.

The next two images are a pararell between Korra and Aang. The first one is, again, the image of Korra grabbing Raiko by his chin. The second image is of Aang and Ozai during their battle. Ozai is getting ready to use firebending to defeat Aang, but Aang, in the Avatar State, grabs Ozai by his beard. End ID]
