If you can’t afford to or don’t care to ship water, there are other ways you can help! You can donate money to the Flint Water Fund so they can purchase water or filters, or to the Flint Child Health & Development Fund to directly help kids affected by the lead. If you don’t have money, sign this petition to stop making Flint residents pay astronomical rates for unusable water. Water bills average $140 a month in Flint, and the city is trying to force them to pay, beginning with shutting off water, but since that’s not much of a punishment, I imagine they’ll end up sending people to collections for unpaid bills.

Other places to send money, water, or filters include:

Small Amounts/Money

Catholic Charities Center for Hope 517 E. Fifth Ave. Flint, MI 48503 Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-9950

The American Red Cross 1401 S. Grand Traverse Flint, MI 48503 Saturday and Sunday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-1401

100 cases or more:

Food Bank of Eastern Michigan 2300 Lapeer Rd Flint, MI 48503 Call ahead to 810-239-4441

Truckloads:

United Way Emergency Center 111 E. Court St. Flint, MI 48502 Call ahead to 810-232-8121

REBLOG EVEN IF YOU CANNOT DONATE; MAYBE OTHERS CAN.

what it is like to live with an anxiety disorder

1. no one ever congratulates you for doing the really difficult things like driving on the freeway or getting out of bed or staying alive 2. every friendship you make is a countdown to the moment when they finally can’t deal with the missed calls and canceled hangouts every friendship is on a timer every friendship expires sooner, not later 3. you hear phrases like “bootstraps” over and over until you wish you had some to hang yourself with 4. you have to learn to simultaneously relax your muscles and move them with determination you have to be in control and you have to let go at the same time it’s enough to drive you into a blubbering mess 5. music is a conduit crying is a conduit your dad calling is a conduit everything becomes a conduit for either having or not having another panic attack 6. you learn to stop making plans because you’ll either disappoint yourself or someone you care about or both 7. you accept all of it 8. you hope someday everyone else can accept it too

How people treat sexual orientation, as explained with furniture.

Heterosexuality is a couch. Nobody even bats an eye if you keep it in the living room for everyone to see–it’s simply expected. I mean, where the hell else would you keep it? Hidden in a bedroom? No, that would be weird.

Homosexuality is a bed. Having a bed in a public room is considered weird and gross–you’re expected to keep it in private bedroom you close the door to before anyone else comes over. Because even though there are a million and one things someone can do sitting on a bed that aren’t sexual (and plenty of ways to have sex on a couch), the first and foremost thing anyone associates beds with is sex.

Bisexuality is a Western-style futon. Sometimes it functions like a couch, sometimes it functions like a bed, but whichever position it’s in at the moment, it’s still a goddamn futon. People who want to use it as a couch give you shit for not having a real couch; people who want to use it as a bed give you shit for not having a real bed. It’s acceptable in your living room, but only if you make extra certain to put it in couch position and hide the sheets before company comes over. Otherwise, you’d better hide it in a guest room.

Asexuality is a table. No matter how many times you tell people it’s not meant to be sat on, dickheads with no manners will try to park their nasty asses on it anyway.

You are now 18, standing on the precipice, trembling before your own greatness. who say you are too young and delicate to make anything happen for yourself. They don’t see the part of you that smolders. Don’t let their doubting drown out the sound of your own heartbeat. Your bravery builds beyond you. You are needed by all the little girls still living in secret, writing oceans made of monsters and throwing like lightening. You are stronger than the world has ever believed you to be. The world laid out before you to set on fire. All you have to do is burn. This is your call to leap. There will always being those You are the first drop of a hurricane. You don’t need to grow up to find greatness. ― Clementine Von Radics
