the shooting in Atlanta of 8 massage parlour workers by a white man was a white supremacist hate crime and the latest in a series of attacks on Asians in the US. however, it’s also extremely important to note that the group he targeted are a community that is already more vulnerable to state violence than many, in form of police raids, deportations, and systematised stigmatisation. this is an industry that’s often conflated with and overlapping with sex work, and the industry has faced decades of criminalisation and dehumanisation, with a long history of being targeted by cops and systemic injustice along with racialised misogyny and fetishisation. they are also often excluded from conversations about the latest rise of anti-asian racism in the US, since many do not fulfill the “american” part of asian-american.

if can donate, also consider donating to red canary song, butterfly, and swan, grassroots organisations and activists that fight for migrant and labour justice for migrant workers and sex workers.

i ended up paying to break the lease w my racist roommate only to reget a lease w her at a different place bc i had no choice only for her to promise to change and clean and work on her racist tendencies - but then she gets a white bf who says the n word w his bff and then has him over all the time so now im fucked and i cannot fucking handle this

vodouist

i talked with the property manager, im basically fucked bc our 6 month lease is up in may so what i need and have to do is pay 1800 for the rest of my part of the lease (i already have this saved up i was planning to use it to pay some debts and get a car once i got to a certain point but now i have to use it to escape)

here's a rundown of the situation:

she posts so much blm but cant treat the one black person she knows personally with respect. i can handle the 1800 to get out of here, all im asking is help paying the 1st months rent for my new apartment that i move into in march.

its 975 for a 1br all included w utilities and after the 1st month i can handle it myself i promise all i need is the start up help.

im asking/begging deeply that anyone who sees this reblog at the very least to spread the word. i hate being forced to stay with a performative racist and im so fucking angry that i wasnt able to secure myself a safe place at the end of 2020 without her

🥺 support a black lgbt owned bookstore trying to open in the south? Bc I want to go there when they open? Thank u?

Look at them

From the Kickstarter: “Today, Durham is without a Black-owned bookselling storefront and the handful of bookstores in the area do not, at present, offer an expansive cross-genre collection of Black literature. This is the gap that Rofhiwa hopes to fill: (1) creating a space for collective imagining, where children and adults may find and share stories that reflect who they are (2) fostering the convivial atmosphere that is seminal to creating the bookcafé as a communal space (3) offering a deep collection of works by Black writers that invites readers to explore what it means to be Black here, over there and everywhere where Black people make life.”

Do it for the black lgbts in the south !!! Thank u !!!

“Someone in a group I’m in asked why black women don’t adopt as much as white women and I was legit appalled. Black women basically invented adoption. We’re the O.G.s of taking care of other folks kids. The difference is, we don’t usually make a big deal out of it like other folks do. We’re not flying to other countries for babie . A lot of times we don’t even go through the courts. But everybody has a cousin who ain’t blood but granny raised them so they’re family. That’s adoption. Everybody knows somebody who got strung out or locked up and left their kids with their sister. That’s adoption. Stop acting like what we do ain’t real just because we don’t do it like you.”

im not one to make these kind of posts but I am desperate and this is my last resource to see if I may be able to do something for her.

5 days ago my little dog called Muñeca was hit over by a motorcycle while I was at work, I told my mom to take her to the vet immediately because she wouldn't stop crying, she was hurt on her little leg so the vet put some bandages on her and told us to take her home and come back in two days, on Wednesday we took her again to the vet and he removed the bandages but when we took her home we noticed that her paw was getting bigger and bigger, we took her again to the vet and he told us to take some foot x-rays because it might be broken.

We were supposed to take her to that yesterday but her foot exploded in blood, apparently the first bandages that the vet put on her were too tight and it cut the circulation of her blood on her paw and that's why it got bigger. The vet told us that for us to save her and her leg we were supposed to regenerate tissue because her leg was open, we could see her bone and everything but that the best we could do it's to put her down

Today when we woke up we found her paw has completely fallen off and it was destroyed by herself in the night, the only thing that we can do now is just finish the amputation but that costs around $500 that I sadly dont have

I'm sorry for this but I'm desperate and I dont want to lose her but I don't have the money to pay for the amputation surgery so if any of you guys have the resources help me just a little bit I will be eternally grateful and if you don't please keep her in your thoughts and reblog this if you want.
