I am in so much trouble. The weight on my chest is excruciating. I don't know what I'm going to do. I have to get this together immediately. I know most of you are younger and probably still have your moms, and I know many of you have really complicated relationships with your moms, but when you were really close with your mom and the last time you got to hug her is in the past it just destroys you. I'm absolutely insane. I need so much help. I'm not okay. I've l9st my mind and I've been doing best to just cope and that's all that can be said it been my best. But it hasn't been good. It is clear from my living environment I've lost my fucking mind. I can't handle anything else.

Please, if you help me get through this, I'll make more art, and I'll get better the I keep painting, and maybe you'll be proud that you helped get me through this part.

People forget that in the end, we are just normal people going through horrific events. I want to share the insignificant details of my life with you to show you that I'm just a regular girl.

In the end, I hope you understand that we are not strange people from a distant land. We are like you. We want to have normal lives like you. Please help us strive for normal as we wait for the war to end. We can't do this alone.

Our situation is real, we are struggling in northern Gaza. My campaign is vetted, so please don't feel hesitant about helping us.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #347 )✅️

There is a story told and retold in the Middle East about how to help someone who’s drowning.

The story goes that a man had fallen into a river. He was not much of a swimmer and was in real danger of drowning. A crowd of concerned people wanted to rescue him. They were standing at the edge of the water, each of them urgently shouting out to him:

“Give me your hand, give me your hand!”

The man was battling the waves and ignored their urgent plea. He kept going under and was clearly struggling to take another breath. A saintly man walked up to the scene. He too cared about the drowning man. But his approach was different. Calmly he walked up to the water, waded in up to his knees, glanced lovingly at the drowning man, and said:

“Take my hand.”

Much to everyone’s surprise, the drowning man reached out and grabbed the saint’s hand. The two came out of the dangerous water. The drowning man sat up at the edge of the water, breathing heavily, looking relieved, exhausted, and grateful. The crowd turned towards the saint and asked in complete puzzlement: “How were you able to reach him when he didn’t heed our plea?” The saint calmly said:

“You all asked him for something, his hand. I offered him something, my hand. A drowning man is in no position to give you anything.”

Let us remember not to ask anything of someone who is drowning.

Life's been a rollercoaster lately, and I've hit a bump without insurance. Long story short, I can't manage the $300 for my Zoloft prescription right now (I suffer with schizophrenia).

If you've got a few bucks to spare, it would seriously make a world of difference. I don't usually do this, but thanks for even considering it.

[resistancecommittee]

🚨 Urgent help needed 🚨

My wife and I were scammed out of $300 due to a call-intercepting scam when trying to reserve a car rental in order to get to a friends house out of state where we wouldve been able to stay for free for a while instead of fighting tooth and nail to remain indoors during the winter - and we lost nearly everything we have due to this and have no hope of getting it back for atleast 2 months. We were counting on that money and making that trip for our survival and now we’re left with almost nothing and have no idea what we’re going to do. If anyone can please help by boosting this and/or donating what they can, we’d be grateful to you for the rest of our lives. We keep getting screwed over and set back over and over again when we already cant afford to lose any more than what we already have. Please, Im begging, we really need your guys’ help and support. 🙏💔

Do you guys ever feel so much sudden rage at society for failing to provide the bare minimum support you needed/need to survive/thrive that you have to actually time. out. your mind for a while to calm down????

[eobe]

So maybe it‘s one of those days… ☕️🍂 I need a hug Wrecker style (not the deadly one from the cantina but that would be also adequate I guess…)

❤️‍🩹 Sometimes I‘m (not even for the sake of my own frkn life and I dunno whyyyy aaaargh wrrgghhhrrrssfstgftt) not able to answer or react, because I do not always understand the between the lines and then…

I just freeze with error 502 bad gateway until the world ends and really don‘t want it! 😭

eobe.exe has stopped working 🥺 There might be one or two missing gearwheels and the rest of it desperately whirring and already smoking, loosing some bits and pieces with no result.

So If you think, there really should be a reaction from my side, please help me with words or ask something and don’t let me down 🙈🫶🏼 I WANT to react, because I‘m caring!

Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

I am seriously so saddened to realize people have used my name and my cat to steal money from some of you. This is crazy, never, ever did I think that my Poppy would be used negatively.

Let’s give a little rundown of who we are. I’m Michelle, a 30-something year old married mama to 3 skin kittens, and 3 fuzzy kittens. One of my skin kittens is an adult, the other two are rapidly approaching attempting to leave the nest. I am disabled, physically and mentally which leads to emotionally, too. My fuzzy kittens help a lot with that.

2 summers ago, a friend texted me asking if I wanted a kitten. Of course I did. Then I found out she was a feral kitten that her mama had left behind because her one back leg was missing a foot, so she couldn’t climb and jump like the rest of the kittens were, and she was getting too heavy to carry in her mouth. That kitten now only have 3 legs, and is my Lucky baby.

Come early February of the next year, I saw on a friend’s aunts rescue site two of the most gorgeous little calico kittens I had ever seen. I claimed them before Valentine’s Day, even though I wouldn’t be able to get them until after Mother’s Day since they were slow to grow. They were attached at the hip, there was no way I could get one and not the other. Those were my Poppy girl and Millie moon.

That’s how I ended up with my fuzzy kittens. They are the best fuzzy kittens I have ever met. All 3 of them have a different job in calming me and my middle daughter down while in emotional crisis. Poppy is and has always been that calming rumble that you try to concentrate on instead of everything else that is happening. And it works more than anyone would believe.

Poppy is sick. My go fund me has all the explanations and updates you could ever need; I even have to add the email with the vet when she gets a chance to email back to me. I have endless pictures and videos to show she is my little love.

Please, if you can, share this post anywhere and everywhere, across all forms of social media. My follower numbers are so low, I’m surprised it’s not a negative number. I know a bunch of you got scammed, and I’m sorry. I really am. If I could make it better, I would.

Myself, I’ve even cut back some of my less essential but still needed medications so I have the money to get Poppy the treatment she deserves. I just need my baby girl to be better. It’s time sensitive because we honestly don’t know how much time she has left with her red blood cell count being in the low 10s percent wise (I think it was 13-14% last time, and it should be above 35). I am extremely transparent in what I show you all because if you are helping pay for it, I figure you have a right to see where the care is going and what it’s being used for.

We are trying to get the maximum amount of funding so we can get all the testing done because the liver and spleen are just as important as the bone marrow biopsy, but we will not look a gift horse in the mouth. Whatever we get it, it’s another cent that we didn’t have to scrounge around to find, another minute off the ever clicking clock.

Best ways to donate: to the hospital itself:

Philadelphia Animal Specialty and Emergency

Dial 267-727-3738, press 2, ask to place a credit on Poppy Riggs account, #FE22554C. All of this info is able to be found on the images in the gofundme.

The Gofundme. It is the *only* go fund me I have up. Anything else is a scam.

These account below are the only official ways to donate outside of the gofundme.

My email is listed below, and I am willing to answer any and all questions via email or on here, your choice.

Thank you so much for helping. It means everything to us.

New blog rule (inspired by recent events): antisemites get one (1) snarky reply from me before they are reported if I choose to respond.

After that, the only response will be thus:

עם ישראל חי

[unsolicitedadvicecatlady]

There is nothing wrong with having a mental illness.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing to hide. People are often more understanding and empathetic than you think.

I'm insane. I behave.

Having a mental illness is an explanation, never an excuse.

Do not add to the stigma and stereotyping by making statements that excuse behavior instead of explaining it. I've known several people who use their diagnosis as a shield and a weapon. Instead of acknowledging a harmful behavior, they get defensive of it and blame their diagnosis. It isn't necessary to try to conform to any social standard, but when there is a harmful behavior that is being repeated the self-aware thing to do is acknowledge the hurt caused and do what is necessary to make it right, not to defend the bad behavior and justify it with a diagnostic shield, or weaponize a diagnosis to bash people with it.

If an illness causes irritability, lashing out at someone and justifying it by blaming the illness is harmful and promotes stigmatization. Acknowledging the hurt caused, explaining the cause without excusing the behavior, and showing remorse for the harmful action promotes an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect, and opens a door for healing. Whether or not someone accepts and forgives is irrelevant. Defending and weaponizing only adds to the shameful feeling of lashing out in the first place. Wallowing in guilt doesn't help, feeling ashamed doesn't help, but an attitude of humility behind the acknowledgment of a wrongdoing and a sincere desire to make it right is a powerful thing that can help mend relationships and counter stereotyping of mental illness.

An organism can only be in one of two states: defense or growth. Exclusive "or". Choose to defend and there can be no growth.

A prequel to Rosemary, Lilacs, Lilies and Bergamot

Astarion is at a loss on how to go about picking out something new for himself when given the chance. Floundering a bit he reaches out to his love for help and receives some supportive guidance. Just a short and hopefully sweet fluffy one-shot that's been living rent-free in my head since buying him an outfit at the Facemaker’s Boutique.

Bodies scattered the floors and blood soaked into the rugs at the Facemaker’s Boutique. The staff and owner were still rattled by the murder attempt. But at least Figaro ‘Facemaker’ Pennygood was so thankful to still be alive that he offered a discount to them all on the spot. The last thing Astarion expected was for their defacto leader as well as his lover to actually take up the offer so readily. But in their early days, she was not above picking up rags and anything else not nailed down for a bit of extra coin to buy one more healing potion or spell scroll.

With a soft clap, Anna declared, “Well now that bit of unpleasantness is all sorted out, how about we all do a little shopping?”

He watched as Gale and Karlach gave one another a tired but agreeing shrug. They both made a beeline to pick out some long overdue fresh undergarments to start. Astarion however felt rooted to the spot for so long that she noticed, drew close, and offered her hand. Stopping just short to give him the chance to decide if he wanted the contact or not. He stared at it for a moment before thinking to take it in his, give it a nervous squeeze, and side-eye the others. His lips pursed tighter as one of his brows cocked high in quiet alarm.

In a discrete murmur, so low only he could hear she guessed, “Star… has it been a while since you’ve picked something out for yourself?”

After a soft embarrassed clearing of his throat, he admits in his own way, “To say I’m out of touch with the current trends would be an understatement. What do you think I should get?”
