[veronica-bars]

I’ve spent 1 too many summers covered up, self conscious, overly aware, uncomfortable, shameful and hateful of my rolls, gut, droopy arms and any fat part of my body.

But this summer right here nigga… ALL summer 16

I vow to my body and soul I’m gonna be a fat fuck™

Friends, Family, Comrades. As most of you know, Jason and I recently quit our jobs in Chicago and Austin respectively, broke leases and uprooted our entire lives to start jobs doing work we are passionate about in Seattle/Olympia. However, upon my arrival in Washington this past Friday June 17th, I found out that those jobs don’t exist and that we were lied to and essentialy scammed.

Literally the worst case scenario for anyone moving their entire life more than halfway across the country has happened to us and now we are stranded and having to start from zero without jobs or formal housing. Having no employment or housing in Washington, I have relocated to Portland to stay with comrades while I find work and an affordable apartment. Jason who had everything lined up to make the 3 day drive up to Olympia this Saturday the 25th is now having to make the decision about whether to start over in Austin or Portland. We also need to figure out what legal recourse we have to fight for compensation which will in all likelyhood cost money we don’t have.

Jason and I are supremely lucky to have so many comrades, friends and family who’ve already stepped up and offered to host us, feed us, help us look for work and some who’ve even been so kind as to give us some of their hard earned money to help get us through this crisis. However, beyond temporary housing and job leads, we’ll need a substantial amount of money to get us through the next few weeks/months as we try to rebuild our lives from scratch.

We are trying to raise $2000 to split between the two of us to help get us through the next month or so. We will be using this money to pay for transportation to and from job interviews, feed ourselves, and find stable/permanent housing. If it is within your financial means to help us out, we’d be forever grateful. If it is not, please consider sharing this link and helping us spread the word. And to all of those who’ve already helped us in one way or another, thank you; y'all the real MVPs.

it’s incredible how offensive my body is to thin (mostly white) people. it’s 83 degrees here in #portland, the land of #croptops (and, not to mention, minimal #diversity) so my unapologetic #xicana ass wore clothing appropriate for this hot ass weather. but damn, if the looks I got for dressing my #fat #brown body in a way that’s comfortable yet still expressive of my style weren’t wild af. the wildest part is that all I exposed were my arms and 2 inches of my midriff—scandalous, I know. anyway, #pdx, get your shit together cuz #fatphobia ain’t cute and this #thickbitch ain’t going nowhere. the #cakeenvy is real out here, y'all. #donthateappreciate #xicanadaily #bodypossitive #plussize #fatbabe (at Portland, Oregon)

a friend of mine told me about her friend i think from high school who was gay but not out, and he pretended for a while to have a girlfriend named Amanda who he would go see a lot, and they’d be all, come hang out with us and he’d be like sorry I’ve got a date with Amanda, and they were like when are we gonna meet this Amanda??? anyway he kept this up for like a year until he finally came out; and when his friends were like, “wait, what about Amanda?” he said, “IT’S A MAN, DUH.” 

i have literally never admired anyone’s commitment to a joke more

These dudes are fucking legit.  They don’t just show up one day in court, either, they actually make friends with the kids and let them know they have a support system and that there are people in the world who care about them and will always have their back.  And less important, but also cool, is that the few times a couple of them have come into my cafe, they’ve been super friendly and polite and when I told one of the guys that I noticed his Bikers Against Child Abuse patch and wanted him to know how awesome I thought he was because of it, he got kind of shy and blushed and said, “The kids are the awesome ones, we just let them know they’re allowed to be brave.”

[bebinn]

The source is long, but so, so good. These men and women are available in 36 states, 24 hours a day to stand guard at home, in court, at school, even if the child has a nightmare. Many of them are survivors of childhood abuse as well, and know what it’s like to feel scared and alone.

In court that day, the judge asked the boy, “Are you afraid?” No, the boy said.

Pipes says the judge seemed surprised, and asked, “Why not?”

The boy glanced at Pipes and the other bikers sitting in the front row, two more standing on each side of the courtroom door, and told the judge, “Because my friends are scarier than he is.”

This is fucking amazing. It may be out of character for me to say this but rock on

[clatterbane]

Bikers Against Child Abuse was founded in 1995 by a Native American child psychologist whose ride name is Chief, when he came across a young boy who had been subjected to extreme abuse and was too afraid to leave his house. He called the boy to reach out to him, but the only thing that seemed to interest the child was Chief’s bike. Soon, some 20 bikers went to the boy’s neighborhood and were able to draw him out of his house for the first time in weeks.

Chief’s thesis was that a child who has been abused by an adult can benefit psychologically from the presence of even more intimidating adults that they know are on their side. “When we tell a child they don’t have to be afraid, they believe us,” Arizona biker Pipes told azcentral.com. “When we tell them we will be there for them, they believe us.”

More about BACA, from their site

[giizhigaate-deactivated20160220]

The fact that a native man started this brings tears to my eyes…

[uriesays]

My parents are a part of this organization and they are metal af

They go on runs to protect the child if they feel even the slightest threatened no matter where. If the child needs them to go on vacation with them, they do. Bikers come from across the nation to watch over and take shifts for these kids. And the best part is once you’re adopted into this family as a BACA kid, you’re always one. Even when you’re 40 and the perp gets released from jail, they’ll come meet with you and find your best options for avoiding the person and maintaining the life you’ve built for yourself. Once a BACA child, always a BACA child. In Florida, there’s 100% rate for identifying the perp based on the child’s testimony. Why? Because BACA stands with the child and supports the child so they feel comfortable enough to point out their attacker.

What’s better than a badass biker gang being on your side???

me if i ever find out any of my neighbors are veterans

[eearth-deactivated20180601]

Hmmm. I mean, just because the army as an institution is flawed and damaging doesn’t mean everyone in it is a terrible person. To paint every single veteran with the same brush is reductive and to make light of the debilitating mental disorders many have just seems wrong. Like yes, fuck the military as an institution completely 100%, but blaming disabled ex-front-line infantry maybe isn’t the best direction for our anger, perhaps.

[erniebilko]

A lot of veterans are poor people who were intentionally targeted by scouting programs coming to their schools starting at age 13, and most of them are worse off coming back than they were to start with… let’s be courteous to folks with PTSD

[alhazad-seawolf]

^^^^^^^

[purity-palmon-deactivated201711]

My brother in law was in a bomb explosion many years ago and has terrible PTSD when it comes to fireworks and small explosions. What happens if it was your family member, huh? Would you still be a complete ass and fire off fireworks that brings because terrible memories of events they couldn’t control? Seriously, screw you think you’re all high and mighty because you or your family weren’t forced into the military by empty promises of having your college tuition paid and brainwashed by military advertisement. Go fuck yourself, assholes.

[angryinkeddrunk]

^^^^^^

[anti-stupidity-pro-ratties]

It costs absolutely nothing to not be an asshole and yet people still can’t mange even that. These same people that would probably complain about triggers and anxiety attacks while deciding it’s acceptable for some people to go through them because they feel like have the moral ground? Fuck that.
