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

Ice Breakers for online conversations 101:

Do not send “hi, hello, hey, how are you, you ok, what’s up, wyd, how was your day”, or anything else of that sort.

Don’t send photos of yourself to strangers.

Do not send compliments unless invited to do so.

Don’t send one word messages.

Be interesting

Send a joke

Send a pun

Send fun facts

Send trivia questions

Talk about animals

Talk about food

Introduce yourself, send a fact about you, and ask a question. (Hi, my name is Jack. Pizza is my favorite food, what is your ideal topping?)

If you think putting in effort to have a conversation is such a god damn travesty, you shouldn’t bother sparking conversation to begin with. You’re boring, and bitter. Take the advice, you need it.

as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared. 

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually. 

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

Thank you, I was trying to sort this out in my head but you explained it very well.
