ok ok hey my name is chantelle, i’m 18, an ill lesbian, (depression, adhd, ME and chronic fatigue), and for the past two years of my life, i’ve been living under a roof of domestic violence and abuse. myself, my mother and my 16-year-old sister have unwillingly lived with a man who’s physically, mentally and emotionally tortured us, and, like anybody knows, these parasites are hard to remove from your life without a fight. for anybody who isn’t aware, here’s the run down:

on 13/10/18, our abuser hit my mother. he threatened to give my mother two black eyes, threatened to hurt my sister and myself, and told us that our last abuser didn’t beat us hard enough. that he (our last abuser) was a pussy for not killing us, and that he would do it himself. i called the police, he was arrested, but released without charge not even a few hours later. (we’re looking into other solutions like injunctions and restraining orders, but the police were so quick to turn down our situation, we’re not sure there’s even any point in trying.)

though this isn’t the first set of threats he’s made, this is the first time he’d threatened to kill, and the first time he’d followed through with physically, and intentionally, laying a finger on one of us after a threat. he’s a history of bringing up our pasts, using it against us, even backing us into walls and corners, and pushing us through doors. but this time, he threw a punch. in yellow light my mum’s eye looked SUPER bad, but not too long after, when swelling went down, she was thankfully only left with very light bruising around the socket.

as some of you know, i spent the last of my money a few days back to buy my sister takeaway, because my mother was dragged into a late meeting, and our abuser refused to let us eat food from our own kitchen. my mother works on a care managers wage, but with the recent events and unrelated medical issues, she WILL need time off from work. none of us have savings, and we currently don’t have much to our name. anything we have, our abuser is threatening to take. he even still owns a key to the house. we keep everything locked down and our door wedged shut from the inside. we can’t afford a locksmith, and my mum is afraid to leave the house to buy a new lock herself; in fear he will turn up. neither are we strangers to having abusers climb through open windows. we are up to our heads in fear, in paranoia, in stress.

i have no doubt we will get through what is happening - but not without help. there was NO WAY we were to abandon ship and once again leave behind everything we have, including animals and family, to restart our lives for what would be the 4th time over because of abusive men. the last time things like this happened, we had to hide away in a women’s refuge, so we hadn’t much to pay for aside from our food. this time isn’t the case. thankfully, we still have our home and our pets and our furniture (for now). i’d like it to stay this way, at least for as long as possible. we have 3 women, 3 (very cheap) animals, and a dog with environment allergies to provide for. this is why i am opening emergency commissions and donations.

below the cut are commission details. and for anybody kind and willing enough to donate, my paypal is here.

(i’m not so much one to beg, so donations aren’t necessary, but my gratitude and thankfulness will be completely unmatched. i can’t thank you enough. if you let me know if you’ve donated, i’ll shoot you a pack of some of my psds as thanks, too.)

poll 1  //  poll 2   .

trigger warning for : swastikas, nazism, racism, homophobia, sexism, transphobia, torture, rape. 

here’s what is happening in brazil: 

in this year, we hold presidential elections. these elections are the most important in the history of brazil, for a very simple reason: now, that we are on the second round, we either elect a far-right candidate with authoritarian tendencies who flirts with fascism, or we elect a center-left candidate who belongs to the party that was in power for from 2002-2016, before a coup occurred mid 2016. 

one of the candidates is fernando haddad, the man seen on this gif:  

he was the mayor of são paulo, has been called by the new york times a ‘visionary’, was considered the greatest mayor of latin america, as his time as minister of education made over 100 federal, free institutes, ensured that the history of africa was taught in schools. he has a bacharel degree in law, a masters in economy and a phd in philosophy. he is currently a professor at an university. he gave free buses to children in public education, who could not afford it otherwise, lowered the corruption in the state of são paulo, created a better system for women to denounce harrassment and assault, and overall did a lot of good. i’m not going to spend 3 hours finding different sources for this, because you all don’t actually care. 

the other candidate, is jair bolsonaro, and he is not the “tropical trump”, he is not our version of berlusconi. he is worse.

here’s a very good article, pointing out the horridness of him. the article is called “bolsonaro’s model isn’t berlusconi. it’s goebbel’s”

here’s what he looks like: 

he has praised general carlos alberto brilhante ustra, who is known as the mastermind behind the tortures that occurred during the dictatorship. when he praised him, he did so when voting to impeach our former president dilma rouseff, who was tortured during the dictatorship, and fought for freedom. he has said that “if the crisis gets worse, we’ll shut down the congress” and install a dictatorship. he has said that the dictatorship should have killed more people, and tortured less. that it should have killed 30.000 people. that it should have killed our then president fernando henrique cardoso. he has said that his son would never marry a black woman because he gave him education. he has said that gay people are only gay because they were not beaten as children. he has said that indigenous people are lazy and greedy, that immigrants are the scum of the earth. he has said that women should earn less because they get pregnant. he has said that he would not rape a congresswoman, maria do rosário, because she is not worthy of it. he has said that his daughter is a woman because he got weak and could not produce another man. are you horrified yet? do you understand the problem yet? do you care yet? 

in the beginning of the year, marielle franco, a poor, black, bissexual politician was executed. a street was named after her. here’s what people in his party did: 

he is leading the polls currently, around 54-58% against 42-46%. ever since the first round of elections, last sunday (07/10), over 50 cases of assaults to people against bolsonaro have been reported. 

here are some of them:

a black man was stabbed to death 12 times for saying he voted for haddad. 

a woman had a swastika carved onto her belly for walking around with a shirt that said “ele não”, not him, the name of a campaign against bolsonaro. 

a swastika was painted in front of a university, alongside the saying “get out blacks”

in different stadiums, football crowds sing “hey, fruit, beware, bolsonaro is going to kill f*gs” 

a trans woman was beaten up for … well, existing. 

here’s a picture. here’s the news report. 

to make things more worrying, the united states, who has knowingly backed up a military coup in 1964, has donated 96 BULLETPROOF MOBILS TO THE BRAZILIAN ARMY.
