these are filler episodes

man, narrating in russian: Every fucking year, this time of the year, the pond at my backyard gets infested. What do ponds get infested with? Frogs? Poisonous weeds? Geese? No. Not my pond.

[The man opens the back door, stepping out into a garden. Three or four nude, human-like figures dash from the borders of a pond back into the water.]

man: Rusalki! I don't know where they come from or how they get here, and I can't afford to hire an exterminator every year. I can't let my cat outside anymore. Last year a rusalka managed to drown a whole deer in my pond, the stench was unbearable.

[He walks as he speaks, approaching the pond. There are several eerily beautiful female beings peering at him from under the surface, their long hair floating in the murky water. Their eyes are gleaming in an unhuman way. The man holding the camera stops to film them.]

man, calm and deadpan: What the fuck are all of you staring at. Get jobs or something.

[One of the rusalki, smaller than the others and clearly not a fully matured adult, slowly reaches out of the water with her white, thin hand, grasping his ankle. He appears unconcerned.]

man: You can't drown me, you little idiot. You're too small. Shoo!

[A loud thud startles the rusalki, making them scatter. A second thud makes it clear these are the approaching footsteps of something massive. The man turns around and points the camera at what appears to be a house, walking past above the treeline with chicken-like legs]

My mom has to have most of her teeth pulled due to infection. Since she doesn’t have teeth, her jaw bone has began to degrade. She urgently needs dentures to assist with eating and her chronic pain. It is 2200 for a full set of dentures as she needs a custom fit since she still has a few teeth. For just the top piece it is 1060. This is most urgent. She is on Medicaid but it doesn’t cover dentures.

Hi everyone, I’m asking for help on the behalf of my sister. Her cat, Ella, passed away on the 16th of July after an emergency surgery following days of hospitalization. On top of the grief and devastation, my sister now has to worry about paying back the cost of all the accumulated veterinary bills which were paid by maxing out her credit card. 

I don’t want to make this post too long but you can read more about what happened on the gofundme page. My sister lost her job recently, she left a 10 years abusive relationship last summer and also got her Asperger diagnosis a couple months ago, and a PTSD diagnosis in the winter, she’s so overwhelmed and she needs help!!

Hey everyone, my name is nadine, 26, from new york but currently residing in Las Vegas. (incase no ones read my previous incident) I know i’ve asked the world for help a little over a month ago and i’m still to this day truly grateful for all the love and support i’ve received. me and my babies feel so loved. we (me and my babies) were able to put a temporary roof over our head and food in the fridge. right now i’m dealing with something and i need the worlds help getting me and my babies out of this situation and back home to the east coast where i’ll be with family who will actually help me raise them. please please please hear me out. i wouldn’t be asking if there was away around it but i’ve been sitting here rattling my brain trying to come up with something and everything just involves money. i’ve been mislead, used and taken advantage of by their father who said and promised he was going to help but instead he took my savings and ran off with it. it left me completely crushed because that was money for our kids that i set aside for from donations. he’s no longer let back into our life because i refuse to be fooled like that again. i don’t care if he’s their father, who does that to their own flesh and blood!? i thought i was going to get assistance here in vegas raising my kids but i was wrong and i feel like i’ve let my babies down and now i just want to get back home to my mom. it’s my fault i put my kids in this predicament and now i want to undo my wrongs and do it right by them by taking them back home where my mom will be by my side. my goal is to save up to $1500 so that way i cover travel expenses and still can buy my two their car seats for when their born. i have till june 27 to leave my current apartment but want to leave as early as i can since their due in july but being twins can be due any day now. please i hate to ask for help because it hurts my pride to beg and not be able to pay back but i need help for my babies i rather they have the care from their grandmother then to be put in the system because of my own selfish reasons. thank you for reading and thank you everyone who reblogs and to those who donate. i’ll repost my cash app, venmo and paypal information below. thank you so much and bless you 💛 if anyone would like the link to their registry feel free to DM me. their genders are Baby A is a boy and Baby B is a girl. i’ll try to drop it below. thank you all again so much. if you can’t give anything. completely understand a reblog is just as superficial.

An indigenous girl in Nova Scotia has gone missing, last seen with a known sexual offender in his 40s, and the RCMP refuse to issue an Amber Alert because "she left willingly". She has been missing since August 13th, and the members of her community have been out searching for her while the RCMP refuse to do anything

i’ve been collating resources for an org i’m working with, and have pulled some links to fundraisers, organizing resources, and what i consider foundational radical texts to put in a toolkit currently operating out of my linktree. check it out if you have money or time to spare; it’s certainly an ongoing collection that will hopefully change as i continue to work with prison justice groups and expand my own learning. it’s a place to start if you haven’t found one yet.
