A little help?

celestialparadigm:

Hey, guys! To my followers, y’all know who I am, and to those who don’t follow, hi, my name’s Ash: teacher, fic writer, and general muffinhead who is in a real tight pinch at the moment and could really use your help. (I am so embarrassed to have to turn to this.)

In three weeks I’m making the big leap to the Continental US, after almost three long and gruesome years of fighting tooth and nail to achieve that lifelong goal. Nothing’s gone swimmingly, to say the least, but I’ve managed to pull through despite the crippling waves of anxiety, and a never-ending laundry list of issues both mental and familial I’m too proud to admit are actually extremely severe and thus prefer not to mention.

As of right now, I am unemployed after working as a high-school teacher at an academy specialized for children with special needs and learning disabilities for the past four years. I barely have the money for plane tickets, I can’t afford to take my cat with me (who has been my anchor since I adopted her), but I do need money to cost the first month’s rent and the apartment’s down-payment, as well as food, and a bed to sleep on.

For this, I’ve set up a gofundme page.

I have a group of friends who are welcoming me with open hearts but, sadly, I can’t pay them with a big smile. At this moment, three weeks before moving, I need whatever I can get my hands on. So, really, $1, $5, a signal boost, whatever you can give, I would appreciate it from the deepest part of my heart. I know this doesn’t sound very special, or worthy of much, but it’ll make such a positive impact to finally be able to surround myself with people who understand, care, and accept me for who I am.

Much love.
xoxo

CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE VOTING PAGE

Keep the tab open in your browser, and vote whenever you have a spare few minutes, or maybe set aside an hour a day where you vote while watching TV! There are lots of ways to get in a nice chunk of votes every day, so give it a shot.

Please reblog this post, or make your own! Spread the word to other Misha fans, and get each other motivated!



*Voting is unlimited but do NOT use automatic/bot voting. It’s cheating, it’s against the rules, and it’s a waste of your time, those votes will be thrown out.

Emergency Writing Commissions

unholyseraphs:

So, I am terrifyingly broke at the current moment and am desperate for money. If you would maybe like to commission me for a short writing piece - 5k-10k - please shoot me a message and we can talk price. Thank you!! If you can’t afford it, signal boosting is fine.

Google Translate can now read signs for you in real time, which is just completely insane

!!!

learn the language. this is so horribly lazy.

Going to a foreign country for a short visit? Learn the entire language you lazy american! Going to multiple foreign countries? Too bad learn every single one. Just stopping in a foreign country? Learn the language you piece of shit. How dare you translate Russian, a language that looks nothing like your native tongue. Why didnt you learn the entirety of Russian fluently? Durr hburr technology is bad fire is scary and Thomas Edison was a witch.

If I sold magnets, stickers, keychains and small prints of SPN and other series, would you guys be interested? I’m trying to raise money for a surgery

i can also do all these things as a commission

i’m also open to ideas of what to draw, so go nuts

Here’s a little preview of what they MIGHT look like (these were magnets as a christmas present for a friend last year so they’re not available)

Thanks for the support so far, guys! It means a lot to me. I was thinking of opening an Etsy shop or something like that to sell these babies. 

Here’s a list of what I had in mind that I’m gonna sell:

- prints
- keychains
- magnets
- stickers
- bookmarks
… that’s all i can think of right now.

I’m gonna make Etsy-only products, so the art won’t be posted on my art blog

Here’s another example of what the magnets, keychains and stickers will look like.

For the darker one I used transparent shrink plastic as a test, and it didn’t work, so I guess I’ll go with the white ones in the future.

Like I said earlier, I’m going to make some Etsy-only art for this project, so you won’t just get a repeat of what’s in my art blog, lol.

also, thanks to @almaasi this got more reblogs than my stuff usually does, haha. so, thank you love. <33

Why Vote Bernie?

666gf:

gendermax:

–Bernie is the only presidential candidate that has never voted against LGBTQ+ rights & has always voted for same-sex marriage legalization

– He is pro-choice “ we are not returning to the days of back room abortions, when countless women died or were maimed. The decision about abortion must remain a decision for the woman, her family, & physician to make, not the government.” -Senator Bernie Sanders

– Pro-Gun control , he agrees that people should have the right to bare arms in the case of self defense or hunting but nobody needs a bazooka to go hunting. he is for strict limitations on the purchasing of guns & getting a gun license.

– Free health care to everyone. though this wont be a big deal for people with higher wages, the majority of americas is lower middle class & by cutting down a monthly bill can help alot

– raising minimum wage to a living wage $15 , anyone with kids or in general should be able to see their families & friends instead of working 2 jobs to barely live

– by raising minimum wage we will be lowering poverty rates in america , & we do happen to have the highest poverty rates.

– Free or almost free education in all public schools, plans to substantially lower student loan payments for everyone & plans to make all public colleges free , giving everyone the right to education that they are able to obtain

– free or very cheap access to internet for everyone, for research , school , etc. without hidden rates etc.

– gender equality in the workplace, consisting of equal wages & making it illegal to deny someone work for their gender identity or sexual orientation.

– for the legalization of marijuana for medical & recreational usages , & adding taxes to it. letting everyone in jail for marijuana related charges out.

also free health care is v good for people with highwages like my parents make a lot a yr but we dont have health care bc since their income is so much our health care cost is high so !!! free health care for all should be !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! You may not be aware, I’m an art teacher.

Over the last few weeks my 5th graders have been collaborating on designs for a t-shirt. The final design was voted on by our school.

We are selling shirts as part of our Class Act project to help further Random Acts’s endeavors in Nicaragua and their funding of acts of kindness world wide.

100% of the profits will be donated to Random Acts.

Here is our Represent Campaign.
