Would like to share this, to anyone in the northeast US/Canada, we had a very severe late blizzard last week. I noticed many robins flying around panicked, staying on the roads. This storm was very unexpected for the birds and if you live in an urban area you may want to help them out. They migrated and don’t have an available food source due to the weather swing.

Boost for all us northerners

I hate to ask people to donate or even share to be completely honest but, back on October 18, 2016 I had a major health issue, still unknown what caused my issue as of now (May 8, 2017). I had partial face paralysis and complete numbness on the other side. My grandmother had passed of a stroke less than a year before and that was of course a worry. This is one of many bills I have from the ER visit I was forced to go to by my boss, she drove me there. I have had many other tests and still no one knows what caused it and it cleared up in like 2 months, not normal obviously. I saw 3 different neurologists who looked at my MRI and multiple blood tests and different medications. I’ve been able to pay most of them pretty easily cause they were ~100$ or less and luckily my brother was kind enough to help me out. I’m asking for some help to pay this giant ass bill that I cannot pay off. This bill is more than what I make in a month working full time due to my other bills such as car insurance, car payments, phone, gas, and unofficial rent to help my dad pay the mortgage/electric/cable. I have a total of about 20$ in my savings and I honestly need to save any extra cash because I’m moving this summer. 

I would like to thank anyone who helps me out.

Hey guys, I’m really desperate

I just got a second bill today for over 600$ please help

I would appreciate even just a reboot to get it out there guys. I hate asking but I’m honestly desperate.

Hi guys I don’t use my tumblr for personal posts lately but this is very, very important. My dog Jack has a slipped disc in his spine that could eventually paralyze him if he doesn’t have surgery. I’m very dependent on him and I love him a lot. He’s a good boy. If you can, please consider helping out. Thank you so much

Hi everyone, to update: Jack’s pre-surgical consultation is set for 2/28, and from then on it’ll be determined for how long I can reasonably put off the surgery given his physical state right now.

Exposure is REALLY important so if you can’t give, please pass this on, reblog or share it 💜

2nd update: we’re really far off from our goal. The dip in Jack’s back where the disc slipped is very prominent now and after the consultation, it’s clear it isn’t wise to continue without the surgery for too much longer. The surgery is around $6 to 7,000. He’s on steroid medication right now in the mean time. I do have a paypal (leopetite@gmail.com) if it makes a difference. I’m not really too familiar with crowdfunding and I understand tumblr isn’t the greatest platform but I guess the more people that see it is more potential help. Pls continue to help this circulate it’s seriously important to me, thank you so much

Dear teen girls,

Stop abusing your boyfriends and yes what you are doing is abuse.

Stop:

  • Yelling at him in front of his friends 
  • Hitting or slapping him when he does or says something you don’t like
  • Telling him he doesn’t have a choice when it comes to decisions that involve both of you 
  • Telling him he can’t hang out with friends because you don’t like him
  • Telling him to not talk to other girls even if they are his friend
  • Forcing him to spend every moment with you 
  • Belittling him and pointing out all his flaws
  • Calling him stupid or making fun of him for making a mistake
  • Threatening to break up with him if he doesn’t do what you want
  • Being emotionally manipulative and crying until he does what you want
  • Accusing him of cheating every time he’s not with you
  • Blow up is phone if he doesn’t text you every five minutes 
  • Telling him you are the must thing that has ever happened to him and no one else will love
  • Physically attacking him when ever you are mad
  • Forcing him to have sex despite that fact that he said he didn’t want to
  • Invading his privacy by going through his phone
  • Getting mad at him for changing his password and demanding he tell you what it is

If a guy did any of these things to a girl it would be considered abuse but since its the other way around its considered normal. Throughout High school I saw many girl treating their boyfriends like shit. Sometime even physically abusing them in the hallways and no one trying to stop it because its a girl attacking a boy. 

Boys: If your girlfriend does anything on this list leave her. It is abuse and you deserve better.

Girls: if you find your self doing anything on this list to your boyfriend you need to knock it off because you are being abusive. 

!!!!!!!! My brother was abused by his babies mom and it started like this and escalated to child abuse and neglect.

You don’t deserve to be screamed at, ignored, or assaulted.

Not showing affection when she wants or not hugging her before class) or missing a phone call doesn’t warrant getting cussed out or hit.

Dear Non-Muslim Allies,

Dear Non-Muslim Allies,

I am writing to you because it has gotten just that bad. I have found myself telling too many people about the advice given to me years ago by the late composer Herbert Brun, a German Jew who fled Germany at the age of 15: “be sure that your passport is in order.” It’s not enough to laugh at Donald Trump anymore. The rhetoric about Muslims has gotten so nasty, and is everywhere, on every channel, every newsfeed. It is clearly fueling daily events of targeted violence, vandalism, vigilante harassment, discrimination. I want you to know that it has gotten bad enough that my family and I talk about what to keep on hand if we need to leave quickly, and where we should go, maybe if the election goes the wrong way, or if folks get stirred up enough to be dangerous before the election. When things seem less scary, we talk about a five or a ten year plan to go somewhere where cops don’t carry guns and hate speech isn’t allowed on network television. And if you don’t already know this about me, I want you to know that I was born in this country. I have lived my whole life in this country. I have spent my entire adult life working to help the poor, the disabled and the dispossessed access the legal system in this country. And I want you to know that I am devoutly and proudly Muslim.

I am writing this in response to a non Muslim friend’s question about what she can do. Because there is much that can be done in solidarity:

If you see a Muslim or someone who might be identified as Muslim being harassed, stop, say something, intervene, call for help.

If you ride public transportation, sit next to the hijabi woman and say asalam ‘alaykum (That means ‘peace to you.’). Don’t worry about mispronouncing it; she won’t care. Just say “peace” if you like. She’ll smile; smile back. If you feel like it, start a conversation. If you don’t, sit there and make sure no one harasses her.

If you have a Muslim work colleague, check in. Tell them that the news is horrifying and you want them to know you’re there for them.

If you have neighbors who are Muslim, keep an eye out for them. If you’re walking your kids home from the bus stop, invite their kids to walk with you.

Talk to your kids. They’re picking up on the anti-Muslim message. Make sure they know how you feel and talk to them about what they can do when they see bullying or hear hate speech at school.

Call out hate speech when you hear it—if it incites hatred or violence against a specified group, call it out: in your living room, at work, with friends, in public. It is most important that you do this among folks who may not know a Muslim.

Set up a “learn about Islam” forum at your book club, school, congregation, dinner club. Call your state CAIR organization, interfaith group or local mosque and see if there is someone who has speaking experience and could come and answer questions about Islam and American Muslims for your group. They won’t be offended. They will want the opportunity to do something to dispel the nastiness.

Write Op Eds and articles saying how deplorable the anti-Muslim rhetoric has gotten and voice your support for Muslim Americans in whatever way you can.

Call your state and local representatives, let them know that you are concerned about hate speech against your Muslim friends and neighbors in politics and the media, that it is unacceptable and you want them to call it out whenever they hear it, on your behalf.

Out yourself as someone who won’t stand for Islamophobia, or will stand with Muslims—there is an awful lot of hate filling the airways, and there are an awful lot of people with access to the media and/or authority stirring the pot about Muslims. Please help fill that space with support instead. Post, write, use your profile picture or blog to voice your support.

Ask me anything. Really. Engage the Muslims in your life. Make sure you really feel comfortable standing for and with your Muslim friends, neighbors, coworkers.

I can tell you that in addition to the very real threat to their civil and human rights that Muslims are facing, we are dealing with a tremendous amount of anxiety. While we, many of us, rely on our faith to stay strong, we are human. This is not an easy time. What you do will mean everything to the Muslim Americans around you. Thank you for reading and bless you in your efforts. Share freely.

(response to your tags on the list of appropriative tattoos post) as an Indian person, I also enjoy sharing my culture with other people (such as henna). What I find offensive is when people take aspects of my culture for their personal use outside of the context of cultural exchange. In other words, just because I shared henna with you once doesn't mean it's okay for you to use it whenever you want

Okay I understand that! It makes sense I was just confused with henna because as far as I know it's been shared with people of other cultures a ton.

list of tattoos you need to stop stealing from other people’s culture’s because you think it’s “indie”

  • dream catchers: (not only is it appropriative of some Native American cultures, it’s also the least well thought out idea ever. Dream catchers take in bad energies and dreams, and now you’ve taken them into your body. Congrats.
  • Mandala: Sanskrit. A spiritual symbol associated with West/South Asian religions such as Hinduism and also Buddhism. Also I’m so over seeing that one mandala off google on people. GET A DECENT ENOUGH ARTIST TO DRAW SOMETHING ORIGINAL.
  • Om:  Sanskrit. Another spiritual symbol associated with West/South Asian religions such as Hinduism and also Buddhism.
  • Unalome: The origins of this symbol seem to stem from Asia and is used by those who have attained Nirvana.
  • Yin and Yang: A symbol used by Taoism.
  • Swastika: Although originally a spiritual symbol found in Hinduism, it was of course appropriated by the Nazi’s. You might think you’re “cool” or “edgy” attempting to “reclaim” the swastika- but if you’re not Hindu, Jewish or Rromani you have no right to reclaim a symbol of hatred still used to incite fear today.
  • Sugar skulls: From Dia De Los Muertos (day of the dead), a cultural festival from Mexico. Don’t get it if you’re not Latinx.
  • Sexualised Geisha’s/native american women/women with sugar skulls etc: Do I really need to explain why sexualising images from other cultures is wrong?
  • Those skulls with Native American headdresses on them that I see everywhere: If you’re not from a Native American culture don’t do it.
  • Hindu Gods/Goddesses: If you’re not Hindu then they’re not your gods to appropriate the image of… I’d have thought that pretty obvious but there you go.
  • “”””””Tribal””””””” tattoos: These are stolen and appropriated from actual native cultures that use paint and tattooing to create an image specific for their culture. Often appropriated from Polynesian/Hawaiian/East Asian cultures.
  • Moon and star: A commonly known Islamic symbol. Don’t do it if you’re not Muslim.
  • Star of David: if you’re not Jewish don’t do it.
  • Hamsa: Also know as the hand of Fatima. Originates from the Middle East and found in Jewish, Islamic and other cultures/religions from around the area.
  • Henna/Mehndi designs: Used by West/South Asian cultures and religions often before marriage ceremonies. Don’t use henna either.
  • Ankh: An ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for “life”.
  • Hebrew, Arabic or Sanskrit text: These are actual texts used by their respective cultures, not “pretty languages I saw on google one time”. If you want a pretty looking language, go for Runes or Elvish or something.
  • Buddha/Buddha head: If you’re not Buddhist you know the drill don’t do the thing… Also getting a decapitated head of Buddha is just plain rude and insensitive to the culture too.
  • “G*psy” woman: The word first and foremost is a slur and the image is usually a racist stereotype of Rroma people.
  • Geishas/Ninjas/Koi fish/other Japanese symbols: Again, not Japanese? Don’t do it.
  • Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters: Someone else’s language is not your “aesthetic”.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it includes some of the most common ones I see. Open to corrections and additions! (Unless they’re white ppl complaining about them not being able to appropriate without being called out anymore)

Is it bad that I kinda just wanna buy a tattoo gun so I can tattoo fruit? No people just fruit. I mean I am not going to, but I want to.

It's odd but not bad. But sometimes it tempts people to tattoo other people when you have a machine. That and people also press you to do so.
