I hate to do this but I’ve gotten to the point of pure desperation. I need money.

Let me introduce myself, I’m a 19 year old, queer and severely disabled, to the point that I can’t work. I am completely cut off from my entire family as they were abusive.

When I was 17 I got into a…

Guys this has gotten even more urgent. I filed a police report on Thursday about the fraudulent credit card, bill, and stolen money. They told me to get more information on him (his address) so they could take action. Yesterday afternoon he messaged me violently threatening me telling me he’s going to stab me, choke me, and bash my skull in. I’m really scared. He knows where I live, he knows that my bedroom window is broken and able to be wiggled open from the outside. I can’t stay here anymore. I have somewhere I can stay but its a plane ride away, it’ll cost about $350 to get there. Please please donate to possibly save me so he can’t hurt me again.

This is getting even worse now. This morning I woke up to him blowing up my Kik (I continue blocking him and then he makes new accounts). He's planning on coming here, killing my boyfriend infront of me, then killing me. I'm not safe. Someone please help.

I hate to do this but I’ve gotten to the point of pure desperation. I need money.

Let me introduce myself, I’m a 19 year old, queer and severely disabled, to the point that I can’t work.  I am completely cut off from my entire family as they were abusive.  

When I was 17 I got into a relationship with a 23 year old man.  At the time I didn’t realize what a giant red flag that raised.  At first everything seemed perfect, like we would be together forever.  But within 4 months things got ugly.  He would threaten to kill himself if I didn’t obey his every wish.  He isolated me from all of my friends. He would tell me I was stupid, horrible, a whore, a slut, a cunt, every name in the book. If I got upset I was crazy. I should have left then but I was scared and I loved him.  This continued on for a year, until his friend spread a lie that I sent him nudes, which caused my then boyfriend to lose it on me, threatening to set me on fire and being destructive (he popped my tires and egged my car).  I was stupid, and after all that STILL loved him.

He started threatening various things if I didn’t give him money.  He’d threaten to kill himself, threaten to call an ambulance and say I was hurting myself so I’d be hospitalized, and if I got upset I was crazy or stupid or ridiculous.

He charged 1,200 to my credit card.  He drained every dime from both my checking and savings accounts (about 2000 dollars).  He charged another $1,200 to a paypal credit account that he opened in my name.  And he put his electricity and internet bills under my name.  

I want to get away but I need to have atleast enough money to feed myself, and I need to start paying these bills back.  I also need to work on getting up enough money to hire a lawyer.  I get calls from collections agencies all day and night because of these bills.  Its to the point where I’ve been debating just killing myself to escape the debt

Please help me, if you can’t donate atleast signal boost this.

We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.

[oppressionisntrad-blog]

Important things to keep in mind!

- never take from ‘mom and pop’ type store. Its likely you’ll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.

- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.

- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason

- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.

- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious. 

- also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it won’t be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized

- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do it

like i was homeless for a while when i was younger and i tried to follow those guidelines to avoid doing harm to people who were probably not much better off than me while trying to get food for myself.

Holy crap, is there like an unspoken thieves code or something?!

[admthrawn]

it’s a thing. I won’t even lie. I watched someone slip a nursing exam book in their bag at the store I worked at. She made eye contact with me and the blood drained from her face. I simply gave her a sympathetic nod and walked away.

I live in a small town and I knew she was a waitress at a hotel my sister works at, and people at that hotel don’t tip well during off season. Nursing exam books are 50+ bucks. Being a med student myself, I didn’t even breathe a word, and when inventory came up later and the book was missing, I suggested it was likely a mislabel, and the manager wrote it off.

Sometimes, thievery is a necessity. Don’t send people to jail over petty things.

theft for many is survival in this system and taking away from multi-billion dollar companies that are a part of the oppressive capitalist system

I love this post so much. Like, an unbelievable amount. 

[arizonawc22-deactivated20160218]

anarchist-memes oppressionisntrad tattoosfade be-their-sound This is the dumbest fucking post I’ve ever seen. And any EDUCATED person who understands how BUSINESS works would not like it or agree with it in any way. Stealing milk duds or a stapler is not a fucking necessity, neither is a $50 nurse book. You’re deeming theft as a “survival” tool to make yourselves feel better about being little fucking thieves. I don’t know if any of you people have ever had jobs, but theft hits the bottom line, not the brass. You know what the brass does to compensate for money lost? Lowers wages, cut labor, lays off workers. And they do this so the brass can keep their current salary. “Writing off” items also hits that bottom line, idiot. Where do you think that money goes? I’ve worked retail, and theft hits my paycheck and others. So stop being a little bitch and get a job and pay for shit instead of stealing from other people who work hard for the money they earn because you’re a lazy ass. I now work law enforcement. And I will snitch on your ass, and it will go to jail.

Machiavelli stated it is better to be feared than to be loved. A good master, however,  should inspire both. A woman cannot respect a man she doesn’t fear. If she talks back, doesn’t have dinner on the table, or didn’t iron his socks, she shouldn’t shrug it off with: “Oh well, I’ll just get a nice erotic spanking with his hands”, she should be trembling at the sight of him walking through the door because she knows she’s in for a beating.

Straight people are weird.

[very--much--alive]

because queer abusers dont exist, and abuse is just some quirky silly ‘haha look at those straight people’ thing not a serious issue that kills people

[cutevictim]

HAHA WAIT A SECOND, YOU HAVE A BLOG TITLED “BBC CRAVING SUBMISSIVE” AND YOU’RE MAD THAT I’M MAKING FUN OF HETERONORMATIVE MISOGYNY FETISHISTS?

OKAY, BABE.

OKAY.

[very--much--alive]

first of all im not your babe you nasty pig.

second, im like 99.999% certain that a pansexual person has no problem with making fun of heteronormativity

but

youre not making fun of people for being heteronormative.

youre making fun of abuse victims

saying ‘straight people are weird’ is making fun of abuse victims

what about all the people abused in queer relationships?

[cutevictim]

Lol but I was making fun of a straight misogyny fetishist, chill out, babe.

AND YOU’RE LITERALLY A BLATANT RACIST

WHAT IS HAPPENING

ARE WE IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE

[oppressionisntrad-blog]

God I hate to do this, I told myself I wouldn’t argue on this shit hole website anymore. But I just cant help it

@cutevictim You are wrong.  You directly made a joke of abuse.  You took abuse and made it into a ‘straight people are weird’ joke.  Not only is it not okay to joke about abuse, but that is also directly invalidating anyone that is or has been abused in non-cishet relationships.  I’m telling you this as someone who was abused by a person of the same sex in a romantic relationship for years, where it continued for years after the relationship ended.

Also its bordering on sexual harassment for you, a man, to continue calling a woman something like ‘babe’ after being told not to.

And you’re not innocent at all, considering your bio says things like ‘rapebait’ and ‘psychopath’.

Youre just an all in all shitty person

[cutevictim]

1. I’m not a man.

2. You’re right regardless, shouldn’t have used the word babe again, I apologize for that.

3. I was making fun of a misogyny fetishists. Not abuse. I have complicated feelings about misogyny fetishists, but when it comes down to it, I don’t think it’s inherently wrong if it’s practiced safely. I just think it’s weird. If you disagree, okay.

4. I’ve been in several non-straight abusive relationships, I know they exist, thanks.

5. I never said I was innocent? And I have a rape fantasy blog. The word rape is gonna come up a lot. Which, again, if you have a problem with, okay.

6. I suffer from psychosis, bud.

[oppressionisntrad-blog]

Well I appologize for assuming you're a man.

Psychosis and psychopathic are not the same.

But I'm not going to waste my time explaining why every time you touch the keyboard you're wrong because you're intent on being right

just reblogging so everyone can see that cutevictim not only uses slurrs like ‘psychopath’, but continues calling women babe after being told not to, and laughs at abuse

not to mention his sad attempt at derailing by saying me liking a black guy is fetishizing, instead of just being like ‘shit yeah i fucked up’

but apparently he does it all in the name of being against misogyny so hes all good amirite

and by support mentally ill people who refuse to be medicated, i mean all mentally ill people who refuse to be medicated

not just the ones who refuse their medication because they’ve been misdiagnosed

not just the ones who refuse because of awful side effects

i mean the ones who don’t take their medication because they believe it’s been poisoned by government agents

i mean the ones who just plain don’t want to take meds for no reason other then they don’t like being forced to do anything

if you don’t support ALL mentally ill people’s decisions about their bodies and their treatment then what you are saying is that the mentallly ill don’t have a right to autonomy

It really frustrates me how, when people want to argue against casting a person of color for a certain role, they always resort to “UM OKAY BUT CAN YOU FIND A NATIVE AMERICAN ACTRESS WHO HAS X Y AND Z PHYSICAL TRAITS??” and then it forces people to argue that, yes, natives can have green eyes or black people can have red hair etc etc 

when really the natural eye color and hair color of the actress of color should be JUST as inconsequential as it is for a white actress because GUESS WHAT??? There are things such as 1) hair dye 2) wigs 3) colored contact lenses.

Like, I’m about 95 % sure that Jennifer Lawrence is wearing colored contact lenses AND a wig in the Hunger Games but nobody seems to care.

Like when it comes down to it, there are very few physical attributes you cannot/should not change via makeup or cgi—and those are predominately skin color & physical disabilities. Pretty much everything else can be, and almost always is changed.

Staging can change how tall a character seems. Actors can lose or gain weight or muscle as the character requires. Tattoos can be stenciled on. Body hair can be added or taken away. Padded bras or binders can be used. Hell, they REMOVED Ralph Fienne’s nose for Voldemort. 

Wigs and colored contact lenses are two of THE MOST frequently utilized aspects of character costuming & make up and when you say something like “Annie can’t be black because black people don’t have red hair!!” what you’re really saying is that you think that people of color should be barred from playing characters unless they exactly match up with the physical description in a way that white people have never, and will never, be held to.

I just want us all to keep in mind that to stay above the poverty line, for a person that lives alone and only supports themselves and is neurotypical/able bodied/healthy, they have to make $12,000 a year.

If the minimum wage stays at $7.25, thats about 1,656 hours of work.  Or 68 CONTINUOUS days of work.  Or 166 days of work for a regular work (10 hour) day.

For the minimum wage being $8, that'd be  1500 hours of work. Or 63 CONTINUOUS days of work.   Or 150 days of work for a regular (10 hour) work day.

If the minimum wage was raised to $11, it'd be 1091 hours of work.  Or 45 CONTINUOUS days of work.  Or 109 days of work for a regular (10 hour) work day.

For a disabled person, they can be given subminimum wage which can go as low as $0.22 an hour, it'd be 54,545 hours of work.  Or 2,272 CONTINUOUS days of work.  Or 5,454 days of work for a (10 hour) work day.  Thats how many days they'd have to work in a year, almost 15 times as many days as there are in the year.

And thats why we need to get rid of subminimum wage and raise the minimum wage.
