So I wasn’t able to extend the rental because someone had already reserved the car and had to return it today. In order to rent it until the end of the month until I should hopefully not need one anymore, is supposed to be $835, but since I have been using them now for rentals for 3 months, the manager is willing to let me pick up a car tomorrow and use it until the end of the month for $560. Now I don’t expect to be able to get this in less than 24 hours but if by some miracle I can within the next few days, it would be huge because just ubering to work and back is $40-$50 a day, not including doctors appointments, groceries, etc.

Quick synopsis for those who aren’t aware: my mom and dad died and I do not have any family to ask for help. I was rear ended by someone who totaled my car, broke my leg and back, herniated 8 discs and displaced 2. Documentation is available in earlier posts if you’d like.

I know this is a lot, but I cannot afford to lose my job on top of everything and need to try and secure a vehicle so I’m not spending $350+ a week on rides. My PayPal is http://paypal.me/jpd05 and is preferred if possible. If not you can message me here for my information with Zelle or KoFi. If necessary I can gladly work out a payment plan to pay back if needed as well. Thank you for donations of any amount and as always reblogs are very much appreciated!!! I’ll update as I can!

⚠️$0/$560⚠️

EMERGENCY - NO FAMILY, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING OR A REBLOG PLEASE!

[toebeens]

new year new me, yeah? one can hope this year will be different! for those who don’t follow I lost my mom and dad to cancer and prescription drug interaction. I caught Covid and was left with lasting heart issues. I was living in my car for a while, and lost my job but thankfully have secured housing and got a new job. Then another person totaled my car, broke my leg (& back) and I’m still dealing with the repercussions of that. In all honesty, this isn’t even the half of it, but I just am looking for any help so that I hopefully won’t need to beg for help all year. Any help towards my rent, the car rental I have, my heart medication, the doctors visits/medications/therapy from the accident, or even just helping someone out who lost their parents. I don’t have anyone, no siblings all my grandparents died, it’s just me (& my incredible friends). So if anyone can help with reblogs and donations of any amount would be so helpful, I’m just trying to raise a large amount so I won’t be stuck asking repeatedly.

I’ll update as I can, and am praying for this year to be a tad kinder to me because I feel like I’m starting this one so physically and emotionally drained. sorry for the long post, and thank you so much to the friend that pushed me to trust in the goodness of people and not be afraid to do this! my PAYPAL is paypal.me/jpd05 and preferred, but if KoFi or Zelle is easier please just message me here and I’ll respond asap. Thanks for reading!

This reminds me, if y'all haven’t heard of therapyforblackgirls.com please visit if you need a therapist. You can search by mental health need, location/distance, insurance, etc. I believe there are some that provide a sliding scale payment method for those without insurance.

If you’re not quite ready to make the jump, there is a podcast you can listen to as well as articles and links to help answer some of your questions about mental health and/or therapy.

The purpose, as I understand it, is to provide a place where black women can go to find culturally sensitive therapy. Some specialize in family/couples as well.

Take a look.

Emergency

I'm being driven crazy. The harrassment is unending. Emergency rental relief has been delayed by my landlord's refusal to participate. My Thanksgiving/Early Christmas sale yielded one sale that etsy hasn't remitted yet and was less than $50. Which to be clear, I'm supremely grateful, it just didn't catch my rent up.

Hello guys, sorry for long time no art but I’ve been busy on my other platforms sharing resources and news for the Black Lives Matter movement, so art is currently on pause.

Either way, this is a guide I illustrated for user chivrik on Instagram on how to properly blur and de-trace protest photos. Many protesters have gone missing or turned up dead because they were traced through images they appeared on. Don’t help pigs and protect one another. ACAB and Black lives always matter.

If you need tips on protests, what is acab, defunding/reform of police, how to stay safe and links for charities/petitions, my Instagram is @/paperballz and there are saved highlights with the information. Or you can dm me.

[thyrell]

honestly as someone who’s worked a bit w/ this kind of thing, blacking out identifying features with squares in ms paint is probably the most effective way of censoring people’s faces. I don’t know what exactly the police are capable of extracting from blurred images, but it’s definitely more than what they’ll get from deleted pixels, and when you’re spreading images of protesters you should be as careful as possible.

[resource-ids]

[id: Informational guide that reads: “A small guide to blurring out faces.

Why should I even care about it?” This is followed by a selection of news articles and tweets reading: “Mysterious Deaths Leave Ferguson Activists ‘On Pins and Needles’”; “A List of All Suspicious Deaths of Ferguson Activists”; Deaths of Ferguson activists lead some to believe something sinister is at play"; “Why Are So Many Ferguson Protesters Dying? Activists wonder is They’re Being Targeted”; “@NewJerseyOAG put a moratorium on Clearview AI’s chilling, unregulated facial recognition software”; “Six young men with connections to the Ferguson protests, including Crawford, have died in the 4 ½ years following the demonstrations”; and “Seeking Information on Individuals Inciting Violence During First Amendment-Protected Peaceful Demonstrations.”

The guide continues: “What to do before blurring: Use a clone stamp tool in Photoshop over a person’s face and other identifiable features. To be completely safe add multiple emojis or randomised images on top of the face. This step can also replace blurring and save the ‘original’ look of your image.

Image Scrubber: This is a very simple tool that you can use both on PC and on your phone. This will also let you delete EXIF data before working with the picture.

Signal: This app securely encrypts your messages so they cannot be tracked, thus making it a great app for communication during protests. It recently added a feature where you can also blur out faces by either allowing the app to do it automatically or draw over things manually.

Facepixelizer: Another great tool similar to Image Scrubber, although it doesn’t let you delete the EXIF data. Works only within your browser and never sends images over network.

Important: Always remember to delete EXIF data - it can be done by right-clicking on the picture, and in Properties/Details click on “Remove Properties and Personal Information”. However, doing so manually will not always remove all information, so I recommend the BatchPurifier Lite software. The safest way to keep all the information private is to screenshot the finished blurred picture and post the screenshot - that will always work 100% correctly. Always remember that if you don’t have Photoshop - simply drawing a black square over someone’s face is better than nothing.“ End id.]

i just said the same thing on twitter but please please please consider standing up for remote learning options even if everything does somehow go back to normal. so many physically disabled people drop out of school/college because of inaccessibilty. we have been asking for an option like this for so long and keeping it would change the lives of sooooo many people. we have an opportunity to start reforming the educational system to be more accessible to disabled and poor people and i really dont want to lose remote options because ableds are too lazy to keep hosting video calls.

this is okay to reblog but physically abled ppl be quiet!

Now that Britney Spears is free, she’s inevitably going to do something weird and off-putting because she was in a long term traumatic situation with very little control of her life and getting your shit together is hard in the best of times and that does shit to a person and I’m genuinely afraid the public who has been rooting for her for so long is going to turn on her and even start questioning whether or not it’s good for her to be free of the conservatorship and people are gonna need to remember that the answer to that question is unequivocally yes

[the-future-now-deactivated20170]

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

[dopeluminarydreamer-blog]

Reblog if you:

Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs

Have a friend with that problem

Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way

No one will know which is it

[weaselle]

This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.

So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.

So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.

These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.

anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect

“Mean girls all grow up to be nurses!”

“Mean girls all go into social work!”

“The mean girl to teacher pipeline!”

Y’all, these are just pink collar jobs. The reason you think there’s so many “mean girls” in these fields is because they’re all like 97% women. Of course some of them are gonna be assholes. There’s assholes everywhere.

We get it. Your job isn’t like other girls’ jobs. It’s a cool job.

[onepunchman]

it’s true that there are some incredibly cruel people in all of these professions.

it’s also true that they all suffer from chronic underpayment, overwork, lack of institutional support, and insane bureaucratic demands that would make them fail the people in their care all the time even if every single one was a saint.

[rotationalsymmetry]

That’s absolutely missing the point.

While those are all “helper” professions and they very much are pink collar (and are underpaid, that’s not an incompatible idea), they’re also ones that involve power over vulnerable people’s lives. (And I’ve only encountered it as a comparison to, say, male bullies becoming cops, it’s not like men aren’t being mentioned here.)

Secretaries/administrative assistants aren’t on that list for a reason. Flight attendants aren’t on that list. Housecleaners aren’t on that list. Receptionists. Customer service representatives. Dental hygienists. The people who style hair or do nails. That’s not a list of pink collar jobs. It’s specifically (pink collar) positions where if you want to abuse people you’re relatively likely to get away with it.

It can both be true that “nurses who care for disabled people need better pay” and “nurses who care for disabled people have a lot of opportunities to abuse their power and that’s something worth talking about.”

Women aren’t immune from treating people badly because they’re women, or because women are underpaid. They’re sure not immune from specifically seeking out jobs that will allow them to be cruel without any consequences to them, if they get personal satisfaction out of being cruel.

You are trying to shut down a conversation about abuse.

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

actually if people are talking about abortion and pregnancy and menstruation and don't make it inclusive of trans people, then no, i'm not actually going to listen anymore. it's 2021, you don't have the excuse of "just not knowing". this kills trans people. that's not hyperbole. in the uk if a trans person changes their gender marker to 'm' the nhs will no longer provide lifesaving healthcare. this is a result of gendered language. as much as it is a big deal to address trans people as the genders we are, that is most definitely an undeniable facet to it, the forgotten problem is that gendered language is being used to deny us our right to free healthcare, and it is killing us. so no, i don't particularly care about cis women's feelings or blindspots on the matter.
