I’m disabled and lost my job because of it. My girlfriend and I are seriously low on funds. We have $7 total.

She needs uber money to get to and from work

I need uber money to get to appoints to get on food stamps, start therapy, get to a doctor for mental health reasons

She needs copay money to pay for medicine, particularly for her BROWN RECLUSE BITE

We also need medicine because one of my roommates has the flu, I’m catching it, and it’s only a matter of time before my girlfriend catches it too

We need money for February’s rent

We need grocery money

We need money to get my guinea pig bedding, pellets, and hay

I’m not asking you guys to pay for ALL of these things, just know that ANY amount will help. Even like $5 will get us sandwiches from the Dollar Tree or will help pay for a ride to work.

Please please reblog this if you can’t donate, and please donate if you can.

@flamingdiamond43 It's not racist to draw a character with big lips. Drawing a character with big lips like THIS:

Is from direct influence of racist caricatures similar to this one:

You can draw big lips without it looking like THAT. Examples:

And I'm sure there are others, I'm just having a hard time. Like, there's no reason to draw lips like that post discusses because it's an old racist thing.

Edit:

Also, it doesn't matter if they were INTENDING to be racist or not. It's still racist. A lot of white people and even non-black people of color accidentally do racist shit all the time because literally the entire world has conditioned us to see blackness as a bad and inferior thing.

It's up to us non-black folks to recognize when something we've done is racist, whether we intended for it to be/knew it was or not, and teach our selves to get out of that set of mind and never do it again.

A good way to start that is that when someone says something is racist, you listen to them. Even (and maybe even especially) if it challenges your comfort or previous thoughts on something. Or if it's something you never thought about.

My guinea pig is an adult female. She isn't very playful. In fact, I have bought her many toys and she doesn't play. All she does is lie around, eat, and sleep. She's not a very cuddly guinea pig, and her previous owners kept her from their other guinea pig because she was aggressive.

How do I know if she's happy? I feel like she has a miserable experience.

The only vegetable she'll eat is red or green leaf lettuce. I buy her oxbow pellets and orchard grass (she doesn't like hay. She just throws it around and demands more. She eats the grass). Every once in a while I give her Nature's Salad, and she LOVES it.

But she doesn't like those logs, or hay cubes, or literally any treat from pet stores except Nature's Salad. She doesn't play with anything. She's not cuddly at all. I'm worried she might be depressed, but I've never had a guinea pig before. I have much more experience with a cat or dog.
