Hi, I’m Erin, does anyone have $20 for dinnerplease, the kids are very hungry and keep asking when is dinner, where is dinner and I don’t know what to do, I have no money currently to buy food, no food currently to give them as we’re going through a very hard time. I know everyone is at the moment which is why I’m sick and tired of asking again and again. Anything is appreciated, be it a penny or a dollar. Thank y'all 🙏 💙 No one has to donate if they don’t want to or can’t, it’s okay! Hate will be blocked.
paypal email is avatarerin@gmail.com or cash.me or venmo (my username is skiesofperiwinkle)
i feel like so many people i converse with almost purposefully misunderstand what “sorry” means in certain contexts so they can be like well YOU didnt do anything like i know you are capable of recognizing that sorry can also be a negative disposition towards a situation and not a grievance for having personally taken a bad action
love when people say “separate the art from the artist” about youtubers. what is their art? ruining LA?
“yeah this creator who’s content is essentially selling his personality may have collaborated with white supremacists but i just really appreciate the way he sells 60 dollar hoodies to middle schoolers”
I hate those vague trending things on Twitter that sound ominous, so you assume it’s related to politics, but when you check the tag, it’s just some bullshit regarding bts or whatever
Not gonna judge anyone for their personal interpretations of fictional characters but it IS wild to me when folks headcanon Gordon Freeman as this dark unhinged murder man when this is how he reacts to holding a big bug in the middle of fighting his way out of a traumatic apocalyptic event
a bunch of 48 year old state department goons attached to US embassies had heart attacks because they eat nothing but red meat and budweiser and have high blood pressure from constantly thinking they’re about to be benghazi’d so now the us government has to pass a bill to fund an investigation into the sci fi laser gun which must be the real reason all of our red faced gourd shaped military contractor thugs keep getting sick
If you literally look past the head lines it happened to their families and kids as well, theirs been a couple teens that have lost hearing.
It’s up to 200 people who’s families are linked to the CIA or US  embassies. Like I get the CIA sucks but do you really think this only happened to 5 dudes over 45? 
You know what you don’t want? Our ambassadors being attacked…. and their children.
That’s just begging for break downs of allies we have and need.
I think they’re all lying through their teeth to drum up xenophobia in the 24 hour news addicted liberal crowd but if they’re not then I’m glad America’s victims have found another way of making proud nationalists like you feel a fraction of the vulnerability that people in Lybia or Syria or Somalia or Cuba or Venezuela or Afghanistan or Iraq or Columbia feel when the cia or state department “helps” people there.
“It is extraordinary that nobody nowadays under the stress of great troubles is turned into stone or a bird or a tree or some inanimate object; they used to undergo such metamorphoses in ancient times (or so they say), though whether that is myth or a true story I know not. Maybe it would be better to change one’s nature into something that lacks all feeling, rather than be so sensitive to evil. Had that been possible, these calamities would in all probability have turned me to stone.”
— The Alexiad, written by Anna Komnene, the daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, c. 1148.
american whites were just caught on footage, chasing haitian migrants on horseback with whips in their hands. on horses. with whips.
and yet, black immigrants are still completely dismissed from all conversations about the violence against immigrants. for as long as i could remember, mestizo mexicans and central americans have been the face of immigration-related abuse… so much that people wrongly assume these are the sole victims of that violence.
haitian immigrants represent a disproportionate amount (44%!) of people currently detained in ICE quarters (as of 2020), and since haiti is overwhelmingly black, most - if not all - of those figures are black people. which means the attacks on haiti are automatically attacks on blackness.
it worries me a lot how haitian migrants are being treated and have been treated by not only the united states, but the rest of latin/caribbean/south america. there have been extended violences toward haiti from the entire americas for so long, it’s naive to say that it’s not related to how black the country is. to be black is to be unthought of, and unalive.
forced migration/extermination is genocide.
and it’s so telling that people won’t bother empathizing with the victims of forced migration unless they look a certain (non-black) way.
(if i find any haiti crowdfunds for haitian immigrants, i’ll add them)
i went in the notes to see if crowdfund sources had been added in a reblog; the notes are full of “not all whites” bullshit.
(protip: if you are white in america, arguing ‘does that make me racist?’ then you need to examine yourself and why you personally feel attacked by a news story about antiblackness.)
here is a link to an aggregation of news stories concerning immigration to the US:
and here is a link to an article that may be a good place to start looking for who might be able to help crowdfund and advocate, though the thrust of the article regards post-earthquake aid within haiti:
thank u so muchhh, i literally just woke up & usually i see crowdfunds on twitter but i have yet to see any. i did not expect this post to get more than 100 notes so i am a bit overwhelmed eeeek
hi, its me, neo, your local poor bitch who gets threatened with jail time like five times a year for being late on tax payments!!!
long story short: i was late on a payment. because i’ve been late a few times, the gov decided that means they get to sue me for it and demand all outstanding tax payments, AND the legal costs to be paid BY ME within two weeks.
i need to make £315 in two weeks.
this is more than i get paid from my disability. i am disabled, i do not work. i get £260 every two weeks. i can use that to pay off some of this (meaning i will not be able to eat or pay for electricty at all), but i CANNOT make up the rest of it on my own. the last time i asked my family for help with this, they basically told me it was my own fault and did nothing.
if i do not make this payment on time, they WILL send me to jail, since my disability benefits are not enough to cover it.
so hey if you can help me make £315 in two weeks that would save me from being arrested for being late on a bill. cheers.
