Hey guys, I'm not dead. Oh, but the Queen is...

I hate to ask (especially since people usually just ignore me), but I could really, really use your help.

My rent is $1300, and i've already received two separate eviction notices

My electricity, phone, and other outstanding bills are about another $1000

And my bank account is current about -$750 in the red

Which means I somehow need about $3000 in one week.

No one is hiring in my field, and no one hiring my freelance services, and due to catching covid, I can't even do set work or placement agency stuff.

I did not write this, but I second it

!!!!

Non-Filipinos can reblog this btw

Yep.

If you’ve ever spoken to a Tagalog speaker, they may have trouble with pronouns in English. My parents came over as professionals that are fluent in English. They speak English 70% of the time. They’ve lived in the US for nearly 50 years and they still fuck up pronouns.

This is because there is no “he” or “she”. There’s just siya which encompasses both (all) genders.

guys I am trying this new thing called drinking water throughout the day and it’s amazing?

my body is naught but a waystation for water 😔

I’m sorry officer, the water told me it wanted to be transported to Ronald Reagan’s grave

and who am I to deny water its holy pilgrimage

almost 20,000 notes… thanks a lot guys

Brittney Griner was arrested in Moscow upon returning to Russia, amid the country's attacks on Ukraine intensifying. Her wife, Cherelle Griner, has been posting on Instagram about her detention. "My heart, our hearts, are all skipping beats every day that goes by," Cherelle wrote in a post shared last week. "I miss your voice. I miss your presence. You're our person! There are no words to express this pain. I'm hurting, we're hurting."

It was her weed vape & cartridge

That’s the Russian police’s version of events and it’s kinda not cool to just blindly accept it and regurgitate it without any corroboration whatsoever. If being Black in America has taught me anything, it’s that you should NEVER blindly accept the police’s version of events. So until we hear from Brittney Griner herself, I would really appreciate it if people would stop spreading this propaganda. We should not be stenographers for the police.

And remember, Brittney Griner is openly lesbian and the Russian government’s official policy towards the LGBTQ community is complete homophobia.

I wish more white people - and white women especially - would get over their white fragility and truly understand how words and actions like these do more harm than good to women of color. They need to stop making everything about themselves and catering to other whites women like women of color don’t exist.
