with everything going on in regards to the group of trans women who were recently attacked, it's not enough to post "black trans lives matter" and leave it at that. if you truly believe that, you need to be ensuring their survival by donating to and supporting black trans women directly.

black trans women please feel free to add your links below as well!

Please keep sharing and donating if you can, only 2 out of 10 funds have reached their goals as of September 21, 2020!

I need to get out of here I have never made any type of post like this and it’s going to be long and annoying but I just can’t fucking take this anymore. I’m Sophie, I am a 19 year old latina girl who has been living with an abusive man double my age for the last couple of years after running away. I feel trapped here and I have no means to leave safely at all. I’m mentally ill and on disability which doesn’t leave me with any room to get away from him and he is extremely controlling even when it comes to money and what I should have to owe him for living with him. I have no family to lean on and the friends I did have, he has cut me off completely from them. He’s smashed my phone when he got paranoid leaving me with nothing and no one. He monitored my phone and my social media so I have had to make separate accounts to try and hide him from seeing what I post. Not only that but he is racist, he hates women, believes in white supremacy, thinks that all girls should only be with men and give themselves to men whether they want to or not.. it just goes on and on and never stops. He always talks about genocide, thinks women ask for too much, ect. He has actually gone to jail in the past for assault. He threatens me with violence if I don’t do the things he asks for all the time and my mental health has gone downhill since I came here. There are so many things that have happened that I can’t even talk about. I am always being taken advantage of, threatened, manipulated into sex, into giving him money, just so that I won’t be out on the streets with no where to go. This type of life is making me want to kill myself if I can’t get a change soon but I am terrified of the thought of leaving him. I want to get a restraining order so that he can’t come after me, but if I do that I will have no place to live because I can’t afford the apartment I live in if he’s not here. I need help getting out. There is no way I can afford to pay a deposit, pet fee, and first months rent on a cheaper apartment with the income and type of life I have right now. He knows about how much money I bring in a month, and with my bills and everything I have very little. I know what I need is a lot, my goal is around $500 dollars even though that won’t begin to cover it, I don’t expect much help at all. Even a couple dollars I have that I can hide from him will hopefully add up. I was at risk of being homeless when I met him because of leaving my family. I thought that because he had issues too that he was a good person at heart but I can’t take the way that he treats me anymore, it has only gotten worse. If you don’t believe me, or think I shouldn’t be asking for this kind of help or think this is all my fault just block me. I have had too many people act like I am over exaggerating or that I’m crazy. I will just block you. my paypal email is sophimazziotti@gmail.com if you can help at all and if you cant i understand I know everyone is struggling and other people need more help than I do but I would be so thankful if you would please please reblog this post for me. Thank you.

You guys I can’t believe how much help and attention this post is getting. Right now I’m scared and overwhelmed and someone said my social security could be taken away from me so one of my friends offered to create a donation pool for me so that she can hold the money so I don’t get in trouble and I can use it to get out of here when it’s enough. The link is here please reblog this version instead.

paypal.me/pools/c/86vaWfffaD

EDIT: IF YOU SENT ME A DONATION please send me a message or ask so I can refund you and send you the link to the donation pool. Someone told me that I could lose my disability money if its in my account and that is all I have to live on right now. Please let me know if you need your money back so you can donate to the right pool, I am sending refunds. Please don’t send any more money to my email, I can’t use it.

WARNING

There is a blog out there called:

lovelylittlelittles

PLEASE I beg of any of you who post selfies, body pictures, weight loss progress, if you have an eating disorder, if you use the tags ‘me’ or ‘mine’ to BLOCK THIS BLOG.

He will steal your pictures, he will not remove them even if you ask, and it doesn’t matter if you are underage. This person is a predator. He will reblog your pictures and attach a disgusting and usually degrading caption to them, please do yourself a favour and block him. He will most likely steal multiple pictures if he can, so it’s best to block him before he can steal more or steal them at all. His followers will harass you also, it is very very annoying and not worth the hassle.

Spread the word to any of your friends who post selfies or any form of body pictures. You all deserve better.

I haven’t fact checked but I’m still gonna leave this out here. Better safe than sorry..

Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.

“I’m quitting the band”

“Who has the answer sheet for last night’s homework”

some really insignificant and weird things you don’t need to know about the marauders

james: 

- first and only near death experience was when he almost choked on one of lily’s fake eyelashes (long story) - knows all the words to every song from mulan but only when he’s drunk (he wakes up the morning after crying because he wants so badly to sing i’ll make a man out of you but he can’t remember how it goes) - once wrote an entire essay whilst sitting in a tree because he didn’t want to admit he was stuck up there - can’t pronounce g’s on the end of words 

sirius: 

- forgets that it’s not socially acceptable to walk about the house completely naked - genuinely gets jealous when remus sees a cat on the street and pays it more attention than him - literally fishes for compliments 24/7 and doesn’t even try to be subtle about it (”my hair looks nice today doesn’t it? DOESN’T IT? yea that’s what i thought”) - will only pay attention in a class/lecture if someone gives him sweets to eat during it

lily:

- thought aslan was a character from the hobbit and got really angry when she watched the first movie and there was no mention of aslan in it - the most pain she’s ever experienced was when she tried to recreate the lift from dirty dancing with sirius on a drunken night out and ended up throwing herself head first into a wall - gets really defensive when people tell her cardigans are lame because “THEY’RE SO FUCKING PRACTICAL” - genuinely thinks pokemon is called “pokey man” 

remus:

- once sprinted out a party and threw up on the doorstep because a girl told him she was in love with him - unironically loves africa by toto (a night out is not complete unless he’s screamed his way through the entire song and started crying during it) - whenever someone compliments him or tells them they care about him he just looks kind of uncomfortable and disgusted and softly says “ew” - always forces the others to watch trainspotting with him and he pretends it’s because it’s his favourite movie but really he just has a massive crush on ewan mcgregor 

peter:

- doesn’t trust giraffes (”why are they so fucking long?????”) - literally every group chat is just him annoying remus by spelling everything wrong because it’s hilarious to see him getting so worked up about the correct use of “you’re” and “your” - will follow through with literally any dare: for example skateboarding to classes for an entire day even though he’s never ridden a skateboard in his life (safe to say sirius livestreamed a lot of it on instagram) - has a life sized cardboard cutout of harry styles in his closet and still doesn’t know where it came from

On January 14, 2014, Gregory Vaughn Hill Jr., a 30-year-old black father of three, was fatally shot by a white sheriff’s deputy in St. Lucie County, Florida. The deputy was responding to a noise complaint about music coming from Hill’s garage.
Four years later, a federal jury has determined that Hill was largely responsible for his own death, awarding the man’s family just $4 in a wrongful death lawsuit.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Hill’s fiancée, Monique Davis, told the New York Times. “There are a lot of questions I want to ask.”
The decision is the culmination of a two-year legal battle for the family. Officers have claimed that Hill was armed at the time of the shooting; while a gun was recovered from the scene, it was found unloaded in Hill’s back pocket. In 2016, Hill’s mother, Viola Bryant, filed a lawsuit arguing that the deputy had violated Hill’s constitutional rights. The New York Times notes that the case also asked the jury to determine if the family was owed damages and, if so, what amount they should receive.
The jury determined that $4 — $1 to Hill’s mother for funeral expenses and $1 for each of Hill’s three children — would be enough. The decision came after hours of jury deliberations, and the amount was so small because the jury ruled that Hill, who was intoxicated at the time of the shooting, was mostly responsible for his death.
While the jury ruled that the deputy who shot Hill did not use excessive force, it did find that the county sheriff had been “slightly negligent.” But because the jury found the sheriff responsible for only 1 percent of the incident, the department will only be required to pay 1 percent of the settlement, which comes out to 4 cents.
