What A Life

my family is being evicted. we have 10 days to leave, we spent all of our money on christmas, my dad doesn’t get paid for two weeks, and i’m about to be homeless on my birthday.

just a few extra dollars for food and toiletries would be amazing. i know i have very few mutuals so i don’t know how well this will get around but if you could spare a second to reblog this, i would be eternally grateful.

Submission: Art from Anirudh Acharya

Anirudh Acharya creates mixed media artwork, paintings, photos and drawings. Born and raised in India, he is a self-taught artist who works at pursuing both his passions simultaneously- art and science. After completing his Bachelors in Physics, he is currently pursuing a Ph.D in Mathematics at the University of Nottingham. He divides his time equally between equations and art.

I, of course, insisted that I would be a knight. The girls had no problem with this - they liked being picked up and carried back and forth across puddles, which was my go-to chivalrous feat of strength whenever we played pretend games like that. More importantly, it meant less competition for the coveted role of princess.

They went back and forth arguing about who should be the princess during the game, each one making a case for why she deserved the gig. Somehow they decided that the princess must be the girl with the longest hair - infallible logic. They ended up deciding that the only fair way to judge hair length was by pulling out a single strand from each of their heads and comparing the length… which piqued the interest of another classmate, a little black girl with coily curls, whose single strand of hair turned out to be at least a third longer than anyone else’s straight hairs when she triumphantly stretched it out. This confused and enraged one of the white would-be princesses, but I had read enough fantasy to know that it was exactly the kind of unexpected hero sword-in-the-stone twist that should determine the One True Princess and the rightful heir to my knightly services.

I make less than $2,000/month and will never be able to pay these medical bills. I had a hysterectomy (tumors) a month ago.
