Please help me not lose my Grandmother’s house !!!

🌈*Urgent Situation - Please Boost*🌈

Hello, hello everyone! In these trying times that we all be in I hate to be another person to add on in the sea of other people who really need help, but I’m desperate. A bit of background ofc: my grandmother was my sole financial income and during the very end of last year she died quite suddenly and very unexpectedly. Unfortunately, she has left this world with a massive (to me) unpaid property tax on her house and while I was able to get another job, I was only able to get full time last month. Not nearly enough time to save what with being paid barely above the minimum wage.

So, I need to reach nearly $2400 by Aug. 19th or the state/county will put her house out for auction.

I realize that nearly everyone is out here rolling in the deep so anything anyone can spare to help a black bi person not spend my birthday week watching people auction off my grandmother’s home I would really appreciate it!

Here are a couple ways to help me out during this pride month and with Juneteenth two days away~!:

Cash App- $midnightfox21

Venmo- @amani-ani21

As of the day I’m making this post it’s 6/17/2020 so I’m really beginning to run out of time.

⭐Thank you for helping me!!⭐

Amy Cooper calls the cops on a black man in Central Park, addressed as Mr. Cooper, and falsely claims he is threatening her life after requesting her dog be leashed in a leashed dog area.

She is the head of insurance investment of Franklin Templeton, who merely put her on administrative leave.

The video also shows Amy Cooper abusing and choking her dog, and has since surrendered it to the shelter it was adopted from.

It also appears, through posts to her dogs Instagram account, that she is a frequent animal abuser / neglectful.

Her racism could have gotten this man killed and she knew it. She tried to sic the NYPD on an innocent black man and she knew the possible outcome of her actions.

Her name is

Amy Cooper

Don’t let that bitch prosper.

fyi

Gender reveal parties, and big planned reveals, literally were not a thing ten, fifteen years ago. Don’t let anyone pull that “it’s a tradition!” crap on you, youngsters. They’re LYING. People would either get the ultrasound or not to find out about the genitals, and tell people or not. That was that.

The fuss over “revealing” a baby’s gender in utero stinks of pushback against the shift toward a more nuanced understanding of gender. I mean yeah part of it is social media, and trends catching on, but don’t think for a minute this isn’t part of some regressive attitudes creeping into the mainstream with a cute (blue or pink) bow on it.

My sister told me today that her in-laws know someone English who decided to drive to Wales on the weekend during a pandemic to visit their elderly aunt, and we're SHOCKED when they were stopped and turned back at the border. Meanwhile the Welsh news is full of confused English people who somehow dodged the border patrols to go hiking in the Brecon Beacons who promptly got stopped by police, fined on the spot and fucking deported.

I can't tell what I'm enjoying more - the fact that the government has accidentally established a hard border between England and Wales, something that even Yes Cymru hasn't dared to dream of, or the whining of the bewildered English people who not only didn't realise that Wales has different rules but had never heard of devolution, and are now outraged on national telly that WELL THAT WASN'T IN THE NEWS! THE BBC SHOULD HAVE TOLD US! as though Welsh people haven't been talking about our exclusion and invisibility for decades.

storytime that no one asked for but y'all are getting anyway

I found the hp rp community about a year before I started rping. I've always loved acting but haven't wanted to perform on stage or on screen for a few years now so this was the perfect opportunity for me to start acting again. except there were two big things holding me back - 1) I loved harry potter but other than the Patil twins I felt like I couldn't rp as anyone else and my dysphoria was too bad for me to rp female characters. 2) I never really saw any rpers of colour so I felt out of place

and then I found @desicosplay and @bookworm3741 and I saw them rping characters of colour and characters who were typically seen and portrayed as white. I saw them being unapologetically themselves and it was fucking awesome. honestly, if I hadn't found Book and Mastani I probably would've never started rping.

that's why representation matters. that's why we need to see more diversity in mainstream media AND communities like this. we need to see more than just light-skinned black people, or Asian characters used as comic relief, or Latinx characters played as stereotypes. we deserve better than to be whitewashed, told we're too dark, typecast so we're reduced to the token character of colour.

so the next time you're about to tell a poc to make their skin lighter or stick to only playing characters of colour remember that it's people like them that inspire kids like me every single day. we deserve better.

okay i’m curious bc my parents were relatively young having me but idk what age difference is “normal” between parents and kids as i’ve met people with plenty of variations. so if you want, reblog this and tag (don’t comment) how old your parents were when they had you. my mom was 25 and my dad was 21.

Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.
