These are screenshots from the website I’m working on creating. Essentially it’ll be a place where people can find black hair stylist in their area and a directory of online black hair resources (youtube channels, natural hair recipes, tutorials, online stores, etc) in one place that members can add to

I have a quick 9 question online survey I need at least 40 people to respond to (right now I am 4) so that I can improve the site before it goes live.

Pleaseeeee do the survey and/or reblog this!

I see this is still making the rounds but i gotta say the site: is called BlackHairEverywhere.com and well…

IT

GOT

MUCH

BETTER

Boost this!!!!!!!

Yooo

Oh my god this might change my life, the last time I went to a salon a white lady gave me chemical burns bc she didn’t know what she was doing

These photos were taken around one year apart. One year.

Can you imagine living your life without teeth?

http://ift.tt/2DoEY79

Have a brief example of what you’d experience:

- Unable to eat properly, your health and physical well-being suffers significantly and this shortens your life over time. If you’re like me and have weak jaws, you’ll likely not be able to chew well; you’re going to be swallowing lumps of things, which is uncomfortable, gross, and unhealthy.

-Eating can be very painful, to the point you’re going to be eating soup, mashed potatoes, or cream of wheat for at least a few meals.

-Self-confidence tanks, and so can your mental health; this has really f*cked me up, leaving me intensely depressed to the point where I’ve pretty much cried for entire days, not to mention trying to adjust to this nightmare that has become my life.

- Dentures generally need to be pasted into your mouth (the paste doesn’t usually last that well, and isn’t a fix-all. It also tastes pretty foul.) and tend to cause anything from mild discomfort to bad pain.

- You don’t get to eat anything sticky, chewy, etc.; no more toffee, gum, unprocessed meat, salad (yes, even things like lettuce and spinach are VERY difficult to eat. And, forget fresh fruit and veggies. Too firm,

- No biting with your front teeth.

- There is no real ‘resting place’ for your lower jaw - it’s uncomfortable and even painful to have your gums pressed together, and letting your lower jaw relax and ‘hang’ is almost as bad.

- Have you heard someone speak without teeth? You’re liable to repeat things A LOT and feel self-conscious and stupid.

-People will shun you, or give you repulsed looks.

-Try looking for work when you look like I do, all gums and no teeth. No way you’re getting an interview or a call back.

http://ift.tt/2DoEY79

Not to mention that your JAWS SHRINK and make it even more difficult to eat/speak and are prone to FRACTURING.

That’s why I am on my knees, begging and praying for the donations I so desperately need to replace my teeth with implants.

Implants act like REAL TEETH and I could eat/speak as before and my jaws would stop shrinking. But, I live in poverty and am disabled. I can’t afford it alone. I’m scared this is going to be the end of me.

ravenbara:

So on top of the recent Boris vet visit and the upcoming recheck visit both being a massive drain on my financial state….. my phone screen just bit the dust.

I reached out to a local repair place and they want almost as much as it would cost to finish paying of the phone and replace it with something else. My phone is part of how i function. I listen to audio books to keep track of time and not be alone with my thoughts. I use it as my alarm and my schedule keeper. I use it to play pokemon go and keep myself active. And this is something I can’t afford to replace right now.

So I hate doing this but I want to remind everyone that I have a ko-fi page at

link

I will do a reading for you in exchange for a ko-fi donation. The available decks i have are:

Raven’s Halloween dice and oracle deck (of my own making)

The Fantod Pack (doesn’t get along with me super well but I will do my best)

The Justice League Tarot

Raven’s Conspiracy (a bird photo oracle deck of my own making)

Mini Tarot of the Pagan Cats

and the Idiosyncradeck Tarot

I also have an etsy store!

http://ift.tt/2hIxxOn

If you type into the comments “trick or treat” i will include a free halloween good bag with your order! And because my money situation is getting pretty tight and desperate I will also offer the tarot readings as a bonus to any purchases from my etsy shop as well!

All of these are available on my etsy.

Please feel free to reblog or bookmark if you can’t help right now. I will be adding listings to my etsy and images to my ko-fi routinely.

Thank you for your time.

Please help support my friends! raven is a super sweet, appreciative person who always makes sure to reach out whenever I or others feel lonely. Even if you can’t donate, a reblog is helpful!

[Ko-Fi] | [Patreon] | [Commission Prices!]

Inquiries| pugsales@gmail.com

Here we go again! It’s your friendly neighborhood pug, scrounging together my couch cushion pennies in order to pay my bill stacks and government fees that are becoming past due.

For those who don’t know: The state’s department of revenue put a levy on both of my bank accounts, and took the remaining deposits to pay off a tax debt I’ve had since April. I think overall, I owe at least $1k to the government - and since I’ve been not having any luck at all with finding work, a lot of the money I’m using to live on is coming directly out of my savings and whatever I can make on commissions.

So! I’m hoping y’all can lend me a hand here. Whether it’s reblogging, donating, or commissioning me during this fundraiser, anything you can do to help will make a huge difference!

What Pug is Offering!

Pet Sketches | $10 - An affordable alternative to pet portrait commissions!

Head Portraits | $15 - Colored and shaded head portraits of yourself, your pet, your OC, etc. Can be used as an icon or avatar.

Full Colors | $60 - Possibly the best deal you’re going to get out of this fundraiser. These are cel-shaded waist-up drawings of any subject of your choosing.

And finally…

Poke’Portraits | Tricky little commissions, these are! If you’re not familiar with my [Tumblr Users of Poke’verse] series, get familiar. I’m offering three different tiers for this resurgence - available from now, only until the fundraiser is over!

$20 to pick your type and generation. I pick your Pokemon. [Flat Colors]$40 to pick your Pokemon. [Cel Shading]$200 for a drawing of your full team OR $100 for half of a team. [Cel Shading]

Sorry for the long post! Again, boosting, donating, commissioning - I appreciate any and all help I can get. I’ll be adding a counter to the bottom of this post to keep track of where I am in terms of goals, as well as adding my bookend links so you know where to click.

$1583.08 / $1630.78 Levies/Taxes/And Debts

$0 / $600 Monthly Expenses.

[Ko-Fi] | [Patreon] | [Commission Prices!]

Inquiries| pugsales@gmail.com

Guys… We are nearly there.

To cover the cost of all of my debts, I need approximately…

$47

:) I’ll be coming through Ko-Fi donations and draw folks a little doodle something to whoever got me a coffee.

Commissions will continue to be open between now and the end of the month! Please consider rebloging or supporting me any way you can. Thank you

So, most of you know that @dadhoc unexpectedly lost his job right after Lex died last year – and in fact exactly because Lex died. They fired him because he took a day off from work when he’d been up all night at the emergency vet with his dog, finally having to make the decision to put him down.

@dadhoc’s gotten work again, but between being out of work, his new job being ethically better but currently paying him literally less than half what his old job did, and my disability limiting my work hours, plus the fact that what was supposed to be ‘pay your deductible and we’ll fix your house’ turned into ‘lol jk you’re 10K in debt now’ – things are getting – well.

Really tough. We’re not yet scarily falling behind, but things are becoming a little nerve-wracking. My last paycheck, after I paid for our health care, was $30. That’s not a typo. It’s not typical, but it’s not a typo.

Between my various social media sites, I put in enough time answering questions, acting as support, and writing up resources for it to be a second job for me. I do it because I love it, and because I love our community, but it’d also be awesome if my labor could turn into cash money.

If you appreciate what I do, please consider buying me a coffee, or if you don’t like Ko-fi, sending something my way on PayPal. My Patreon will be going live tomorrow, at which time you will also have the option of paying me money for stories about socialist space lesbians and separately a Jewish scholar in a fantasy world based on Mongolia and also about a demisexual middle-aged wizard, her partner, and their trans apprentice. I just have to decide which one I want to plow through first.

If every one of my followers could toss a dollar in the kitty, I’d have enough money to be sure we’d be tided over to when things should pick up for @dadhoc, and maybe even make some of the desperately-needed safety-related repairs to our house, which have been put off and put off.

Even better, if you’d like to hire me to write something for you, edit, proofread, speak or sensitivity read for you? I am for hire. I also have an Etsy shop, and if you don’t see something you like in my current stock, hit me up for something custom. Any of my pride kippot can be modified into beanies if you want a Pride item but are not Jewish.

Thanks - and please boost this either way. <3

So I hate to bring this up to the fore again, but here we are.

We are in scary territory right now. @dadhoc got a different job, finally, and we might be okay if we can make it to September, but the thing is, we gotta make it to September.

I haven’t talked about this a lot, but my job found an excuse to get rid of me, in a way that may or may not be legal because it may be a disability law violation but I don’t have the money to fight and they know that, and are now contesting my unemployment. If they rule against me, I’ll have to repay everything I’ve been paid since May 26th. (Yeah, they fired me right before my birthday.) Between that and the fact that dadhoc isn’t ramped up at his new job and is making just over minimum wage until he does? We’ve eaten through most of our savings paying bills and the mortgage for the last couple months.

(We do, for the moment, have medical assistance, so that much is covered. For now. Hooray Medicaid.)

My in-laws helped me to get a new sewing machine so that I can provide more awesome stuff at my Etsy shop, and I’ve branched out from Judaica to Pride items that aren’t Judaica, and also stuff like makeup bags and nerdy stuff. Pronoun patches? Yep, I got that. Custom work for your jacket? Got that, too.

So if you like what I do? Consider hiring me, consider buying something from my Etsy shop (I do custom work!), consider buying me a coffee or becoming a Patron or tossing some money in my PayPal tip jar.

Please, and thank you. I just gotta make it to September, and then hopefully dadhoc’s new job will pick up.

Please can we get this boosted, Tumblr fam? And if you could show a little love and help @vaspider and their family I’d deeply appreciate it. Vaspy has been there and helped so many of us.

I am broke but I would totally like to draw attention to the bit about the Etsy shop as apparently @vaspider does really neat things like sew-on badges with preferred pronouns on them and IDIC and also if you would like your jacket to tell everyone that you are the tank/bard/healer of the group up front.

I know I have a few people who would find that in particular nifty. So.

I already bought, AND received, a pronoun patch, in beautiful shiny Hufflepuff gold, saying “mer/mers pronouns” for @rivergst. Mer whole face lit up! I’m going to order they/them and gem/gems ones for the baby and me next ❤️

I everyone gives like 3-5 bucks a piece that adds up y'all, really

Honestly, it really does. And the people who have donated (including one person who I don’t know who gave an amount that literally made me sob with relief) have really helped. A lot.

We have one more month to get through, if all goes well, before things start to turn around at @dadhoc‘s new job. Things are happening, but it takes time for them to actually come through.

So check out my Etsy shop (20 percent off of orders over $15 before 7/31, y’all!) or hit up my PayPal or Kofi, or signal boost, please, if you like what I do, if I’ve helped you or someone you care about.

Thank you. We’re getting through.

Boosting this again. We got hit with lawyer fees to try to protect my unemployment, and we’re fighting to keep our noses above water. I keep telling myself: end of September, just gotta get to the end of September.

Please check the Etsy shop, there are great new items up, buy a coffee, donate on PayPal, whatever works for you!

We have current outstanding:

$290 back cellphone bill
$1300 mortgage for August
$1500 debt payments
$250 car payment.

We’ve covered everything to this point, but barely, with your help and your orders and your awesomeness.

End of September.

Thank you to everyone who’s bought or donated. Y'all got me to my doctor’s appointment today. Thank you.

Now I gotta get home and finish packing orders…

Boosting this post again. If you like what I do, please consider helping my family out. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel – I won my unemployment compensation fight against my old employer, which helps, but we’re still not out from underwater yet. If we can get to the end of September, things will start to turn around.

I’ve just added a whole new set of patches on NerdyKeppie – Pride animals! – and my patrons on Patreon just got a free add-on poem. Queer fiction for a dollar or two a month? Awesome Pride items? And you get to help me. How cool is that?

(It’s pretty cool.)

If none of that stuff is up your alley, well, consider buying me a ko-fi or tossing a little money in my PayPal. Every little bit helps. I need to be able to get back and forth to doctor’s appointments and to pay for meds. <3

Thanks, friends.

i know a lot of you don’t give a fuck about latinos issues, but venezuela may or may not be entering in a TOTAL dictatorship tomorrow, and i’m so fucking angry, i’m so sad…i’m not venezuelan i’m argentinian and i’m so angry because we can’t do shit to help our venezuelan friends we can do nothing to help the people from venezuela we can just PRAY that everything will okay and venezuela can kick maduro’s ass out of their country, so CAN YOU [THE REST OF THE WORLD] JUST HELP US, LATINOAMERICA, PRAYING FOR VENEZUELA??? please, i’m losing my shit out here because i don’t have not a single way to contact my venezuelan friend and i’m fucking worried. sorry for swearing i’m really freaking out

Fifteen people died in riots yesterday (July 30, 207) alone. People are literally starving to death, not because they don’t have any money, but because there simply isn’t any food in supermarkets across the country. The shelves are completely bare - no food, no water, no toilet paper, no nothing.

This isn’t a political crisis anymore. It’s a humanitarian crisis. And it pisses me off that people don’t care about it as much as they would if this wasn’t happening in a Latinamerican country. You KNOW this wouldn’t have gotten this far if it was France, or the UK, or Canada. But because the people suffering are Latinos, the global community doesn’t give a shit, and that directly leads to people dying.

#listen I’m Colombian and the horror stories we hear about what’s going on at the border chill me to the bone#please do whatever you can to help Venezuela

do you know of anything those of us living in north america or elsewhere can do to help? if not that’s totally fine it’s not your responsibility at all, just wondering since you are a lot closer geographically to what’s happening than i am.

Dear Followers,

I have been receiving a lot of messages as the one above. Apparently there is a person going around on tumblr, befriending members of the lgbt community who are not yet out to their parents. She then sends their parents letters outing them. (S)he pretends to want to be your pen pal or wants to send you a letter/gift via mail. (S)he will do anything to get your address. Please be careful. I’d really appreciate you guys reblogging this or making a similar post letting your friends/followers know. Just because that person’s blog was deleted doesn’t mean (s)he won’t come back.

UGH this is disgusting, trust no bitch. Please be careful babies

Please reblog this. I know it’s off topic but it’s very important to get the word out.

This is real. I know for a fact this is real, and she uses different usernames now. She’s turned to more pointedly LGBTQA+ friendly names to try and lure people in. Careful, folks. Seriously, careful.

Ugh why do people do this?? It’s horrid

Just as a warning. Please be careful friends, especially if you’re going to share your info with anyone.

This is why I have a very careful list of info I don’t disclose until I’m certain; basically anything that can be used to nail down my real life. This includes but is not limited to:
-Legal name
-Date of birth
-Address (or location specifics beyond city)
-Names of close family members
-Other social media accounts
-Face shots
-Occupation
I might be being a bit paranoid here (and honestly I let some things slip when I know that doesn’t narrow down a search), but as shown by the troll who had to roll into my inbox asking for this stuff, it works.
Be careful out there, kids.
(And yes, this means that if you’ve got access to this info, you’re in my inner circle.)

In these dark and dreary times, let us not forget that pets are fucking wonderful and they will love you even if the PEOTUS cuts all of our state’s federal funding because we refuse to stop being a sanctuary.

Pets! They’re so dope! They don’t even know who the President is! And also they need good homes. Especially the old ones. Senior pets are much harder to get adopted because people incorrectly think they’re less cute than baby pets.

November is Senior Pet Adoption Month at the Seattle Animal Shelter and hoo boy do they have some cute (and inexpensive!) older critters. Adoption fees are just $15 during this month if you pick a swingin’ senior.

Like this Best Friends Squad, Pepito and Pepita:

Or this exquisite specimen named Bel:

Or perhaps Leonardo DeCatprio is for your style?

Pets are great. Long live pets. Get yourself an old pet.

gayspacenerds:

i’ve made this post like 5x now but HERE WE GO AGAIN…

i have an injunction hearing against my dad on tuesday, oct 25

he says he’s suing me for attorney’s fees because i finally had enough of being terrified of him (we work at the same place and he knows where i live) to try to file an injunction and told the court about what’s been going on since i was named in a court order that allowed me and one other person (the one he was commenting on her fb photo), both of us disabled, to go collect my mom’s stuff from his house

the house i inherited and he harassed, intimidated, bullied, and abused me into signing over to him after a DV incident involving a gun after which he was baker acted. he blames the entire incident on me.

he’s stolen around $3500 from me after coercing me into letting him “borrow” $2k during the divorce, and now he won’t sign over the account that held it, which he has long promised to do - also an inherited item from his father, one he now feels entitled to

he’s been gaslighting me, emotionally and psychologically abusing me, denying me medical care, etc since i was a child. it only turned physical once but that was enough to cause lasting damage to me.

he apparently hates me now vs. a few months ago because he found out just how involved i am in the activist community locally. i organized our local vigil after pulse, i attend BLM actions, i sit on panels for LGBTQ community topics, etc. i’m a trans educator, advocate, and activist (??) in my very unfriendly conservative community and he HATES that shit.

i’m moving 900 miles away from this mess, his violence, etc in just over a month but i need help to do it because that was the money i wanted to use in order to do it.

i’m on medical leave right now from work because my anxiety has gone through the roof and i am having a very difficult time functioning there after being blown off by HR when i told them about the situation.

this is the fundraiser to help me get out of here. i have an apartment secured, i have a couple of job leads that i’m hoping will be successful, but i’m starting over completely with my four cats and no friends in my new area.

please eject me from this hellswamp safely with my sweet cat family and into the safe situation i can have far, far away from this place. i’m so fucking close.

thank you all for the support i have received so far, including the kind messages of support and sympathy from other survivors, please boost this far and wide, i love you all so much
