The full story is in the link but the short and sweet of it is, I cannot take out student loans for graduate school until I rehabilitate an old defaulted student loan from like 10 years ago. I’ve already begun the process but it takes 9 months to get the loan out of default. In the meantime, I basically have to pay for graduate school on my own, and can use y'all’s help.
I’ve been a sex worker most of my adult life and a community organizer in Virginia for over five years now. I’m hoping this degree will help me be a more effective organizer and also help me claw my way out of poverty.
I am also going to be posting regular guides on anti-repression, prison abolition, security culture, conflict mediation, sex work, and other topics throughout the summer to showcase some of my knowledge that I can put to good use with this education.

Hi this is a transition fund I set up for my wife, I don't know if this will result in anything but dysphoria is hurting her deeply, and I want to try to help her any way I can. Sharing around to people who have a bigger following or who haven't been much affected by uh current events would be appreciated. Oh, uh, I've never done this before also, so if someone has like advice about doing this, I would probably appreciate that.

He was a young artist employed by the Disney studio, but tasked with the entry-level job of finishing off the work of the animators and crafting the “in-between” animations that completed the characters’ movements. Wong had learned that studio executives were creating a film from the new novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. Tom says the young artist read the book and without consulting his supervisor, “took the script and painted some visual concepts to set the mood, color and the design.”
His sketches recalled the lush mountain and forest scenes of Sung dynasty landscape paintings. His initiative paid off. Walt Disney, who was looking for something new for the film, was captivated and personally directed that Wong be promoted. Today, top animators and illustrators revere Wong’s work. Children today are as enchanted by the misty, lyrical brushstrokes of Wong’s colorful nature scenes, inspired by his training at Otis College of Art and self-study of Sung Dynasty art
