Incorrect Aphmau Quotes

Hey I have been trying to hold off on making this post for a while trying to make do with my own resources but recently things have gotten so impossible.

A couple months ago I was kicked out from my living situation bcs my roommates hated my dog (who is a registered service animal btw) because it was through a program the people conducting this program kicked me out.

Every since then I’ve been moving around motel to motel with my 11 year old dog who suffers from seizures and it was been fucking brutal

I work part time since covid and my checks are not enough. I owe this hotel $250 already and they say by Thursday I will be out on the street.

On top of it all I need to refuel my dogs seizure medications which is $175 a month.

I just spent my last $15 for food for us....

I know that a lot of people have been donating to funds for BLM and COVID relief but it is pride month and I am a queer black woman who has been affected by all of these situations...

If anyone has ANYTHING to spare pls considering donating.

PLEASE I rly don’t wanna be on the street during a pandemic and the police are attacking people on the street!!!

One of the people I follow made a very good thread here

and I’ll also post some screenshots below the cut.

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD

THIS is a link to donate from abroad to the indigenous women’s march, it has already happened but you can still donate to support the cause

THIS is a link to support the free land camp, and you can email them at [email protected] if you really want to find ways to support them, donations will go to APIB (Brazilian Articulation of Indigenous Peoples) and you can keep up with their news here

You can donate to SOS Amazônia which is one among the 100 NGOs selected as “The Largest NGOs in Brazil”.

> > > ( ENGLISH: //doe.sosamazonia.org.br/en ) < < <

And remember: - 1 USD is 4,04 reais. - 1 EUR is 4,47 reais. If you donate only $2,50 USD (10 reais) you’re helping a lot.

If you donate only $2,30 EUR (10 reais) you’re helping a lot. About people saying “the minimum value is $10”: Even if you’re not from Brazil you can donate in REAL instead of donating in USD or EUR via Paypal, so… YES, you can donate less than 10 dollars or euros. (Just don’t change the currency to USD or EUR, Paypal converts your dollars/euros to reais.)

I barely have followers here, but here we go:

The Amazon Rainforest has been burning for the last 16 days straight. The Brazilian government says the wildfire is caused by the winter itself, since it doesn't rain a lot there... in a rainforest. It is actually, partially true. Winter is indeed a dry season and wildfires may happen, specially close to the Cerrado (a brazilian biome similar to the african Savanna), but what they're not telling us is that:

The deforestation has increased 80% since last year

The native peoples and animals are being slaughtered for their lands (legally protected green areas)

The government is hiding and lying about scientific data, saying that environmentalists and NGOs are communists trying to destroy the nation. They are brainwashing people to think that sustainability is terrible for the economy

Our Minister of Environment is couldn't care less about the environment and is only there to support the livestock producers and give them what they want. The President and his Minister won't put a single dollar on environmental safety

The wildfires are just so huge that its black smoke and ashes reached the skies of São Paulo, a state over 2.000 kilometers away from the Amazon.

We are hostages or our own government

I could just keep going all night about how our environment is being threatened by this new government. We need every single help we can possibly can.

Now that Tumblr has completely fucked most people with killing their links (if you put any link, even one that directs back to a Tumblr post, it no longer shows in the search engine), it’s on YOU, the consumer, to make sure things get noticed. By that I mean, if you LIKE something and you don’t reblog it, that’s right, that’s less chance of it getting seen. When a post does poorly, the creator will eventually stop creating. This goes for gifs, icons, headers, writing, art, you name it. Creators will eventually stop. So, you LIKE something, click that little reblog button. Click the queue option. If you want to keep seeing your favorite creators, it’s up to YOU to make sure their posts actually get seen.

And, before anyone wants to pipe up, one person DOES make a difference. If you’re reading this thinking “oh, someone else will reblog, I don’t have to!”. Well, no. You’re wrong because if YOU’RE thinking that, many other people are as well which means, no the post will not be seen and the creator stops creating (or at least publishing for your unpaid consumption).

The post doesn’t match your blog aesthetic? Make a new blog. You don’t have to maintain it. Just click the reblog button and it’ll STILL help get the creators some form of recognition.

IMPORTANT! Gravy Train Dog Food was had a recall.

The food was tainted with and contains euthanasia. 

Source: (x)

A bunch of dogs, including my own, eat Gravy Train. It’s a very affordable wet canned dog food, so many people buy it. and my dog has to eat it because she’s lost most of her teeth and can’t chew.

Please, SIGNAL BOOST THIS! 

I think some people fail to realize that men can be sexually assaulted, too, and not just by other men. This girl shoves him against the wall and slaps him three fucking times when he pushes her away. Heck, he has to push her away twice before she backs off for a moment. Then she goes right back to kissing him.

as you may know by now, i live in Europe, many of my online friends, do not. what brought us together was, the internet.

a mere love for say Yuri on Ice, memes, youtubers.

in the recent months, the internet has been under attack, free speech and fair use are being silenced.

think about this: you’re just watching a music video from your favorite idol, whether it be Taylor Swift or Queen, you really enjoy that content

as you go to the next video it says “error, this video is not available in your country” you think ‘okay, whatever’ and move on to the next one, same message, you skip to the next one again, same message again.

then you realize, all content by Taylor Swift has been blocked by Youtube. all content by Cardi B has been blocked by Youtube.

Article 13 threatens to block songs like despacito, DESPACITO, a song that gained over 90b views, over a directive.

this is not a joke anymore. this is not a “meme ban law”, this will affect the UK, this will affect your favorite non European creators, this will affect you.

European content creators will not be able to make content anymore. not without licenses for every single thing they show, do and put as background music.

this threatens to kill creativity and the internet as we know it.

our future, is in jeopardy if this gets passed. without Europe, net neutrality would’ve already been non existent.

the internet needs to be saved.

not just for us, but for our future. the future of the world. the internet brought us together as a world and we’ve shown it many times before how strong it can be.

we have to show that strength again.

we have lost a crucial battle back in September, but we have not lost the war. we have to keep fighting and to push our belief. to push the internet further. to grow as a community, as a society.

what Europe wants to do is protect copyright, which is needed yes, but not in this extreme, it’s like when you were in elementary school and this one kid ruined a field trip for everyone.

we cannot let them take away our internet. fight for your right to free speech, fight for your right to have fair use.

fight for your internet

if a company like YouTube, a google owned company that literally owns all your data and probably sold it making millions off of it, is NOT able to afford a directive like Article 13.

please, i beg you, to share this with your friends, your family, to tweet your MEP’s, to email them, to call them, to remind your European friends to do that.

we are strong.

we are a unity.

we are a community.

we are the internet.

we have put our strengths together to save the Internet.

thank you for listening. don’t give up. stay strong.

Remember when my van got towed with a bunch of my shit in it?

I was never able to get it back, but they’re offering it to us for $400 by next Friday (Nov 16) or they’re crushing it.

We posted the phone call on Youtube you can listen to here.

There’s also a video of me gross crying when it was first towed and they wanted like $800 you can watch here.

Some items left in there include:

Embroidered pictures my dead grandmother made for me, along with other little sentimental things

Most of my winter clothes, including my snow boots and parka

My Singer sewing machine

A fucking bunch of craft and sewing supplies, including projects I was working on

Porn costumes I’d made

A good deal of dishes

Somehow most of my socks and underwear got left in there

Books

Jewelry

Bedding

Witchcraft supplies

Tools

Two batteries (big batteries)

The van itself is also really valuable to us whether we use it or sell it. Even if it were empty I would want it back, but the things inside of it is what’s making my stomach twist. I’ve been agonizing over this since we got the phone call. Roy recorded it and you can listen to it here.

We have about $20. Y'all sent us donations and we got busy restoring our electricity and didn’t know this was gonna come up. We thought it was gone and done. I really don’t want my van and belongings to get crushed and trashed. I can’t fuckin sleep.

Anything you can give is very appreciated. Please pass this along if you can’t donate. 

Hey guys. I basically never ever put anything on this blog that isn’t art-related, but a close friend of mine is having some trouble, to put it mildly.  

Katherine Tam, a student at Cornell University, was put in a medically induced coma about 3 weeks ago to protect her brain from seizures. She’s just starting to wake up, and the medical bills are pretty horrific.  Her parents are both immigrants working minimum wage jobs, and they really can’t afford this.  A lot of people here are probably broke, so it’s ok if you can’t donate–but if you can, I (and a lot of other people) would genuinely appreciate it.
