Advise on a stray/ abandoned cat! -Signed a panicked woman

Hi! I was taking the trash out and there was this white cat on my porch and it was meowing at me. I assumed it was hungry so I gave it some food. I think it’s either a lost cat or abandoned one because I have seen it around my neighborhood but I just assumed that it was someone’s outside cat. Insert pics: but now I’m thinking differently. It’s tail is dirty and its collar is kinda raggedy. Every time I came outside it meowed at me. I looked online what to do and one thing it said was to take it to the vet and foster it. That is the problem there bc I live with a relative that doesn’t want animals in her house. She just barely tolerates my cat. I won’t be able to take care of this cat but I don’t want to see it suffer. I am a panicked mess. Any advice would be very appreciated!

Experimental Surgery Consultation

Most of you already know this, but I have a severely damaged airway because of a gas explosion when I was just a baby and rely on a tracheotomy to breathe. I need to go to Cleveland to have a consultation with a specialist about having a full tracheal transplant. This procedure is highly experimental, and the first successful one was conducted in mid-2021, and only a handful have been performed since. No insurance company on the planet will cover this surgery, so I must raise the money on my own.

Any small amount you can give would be an incredible help to my family and me. If you cannot give, please share. Thank you so much for all your support. You are all a genuine blessing.

“ Just gather us all in one place and kill us all with missiles. Let us all die at once as martyrs. Because what you’re doing right now is torture! “

I am still sorry if putting this in blm and stop asian hate offends anyone, but as you know by now, social media platforms are preventing Palestine from trending. And you deserve to know the truth. And Palestinian deserve to be heard

Please read it and reblog people have to hear about what happened today. There are videos of nationalists beating people (teenagers) just because they were walking nearby or throwing firecrackers. These are the people that our president was willing to go side by side during the independence day. We can't rely on the government doing something so please don't sleep on it, let prople know about things happening in Poland right now.

Rebuilding Live: A Mother's Plea for Hope and Safety in Gaza🕊️♥️

A year has passed since the war began, and we are still alive—living bodies, but without hope, without passion. Our bodies are exhausted by constant fear and displacement. I am Noor Al-Anqar, 26 years old, married to Ashraf Ismail (33 years old) and a mother of three children: Hussein (7 years old), Rajaa (5 years old), and Youssef, our infant (1 year old).

Hello, I'm Nour Alanqar, and reaching out to you during a… Nour Alanqar needs your support for Rebuilding Live: A Mother's Plea for Hope

At the start of the war, our home was bombed and completely destroyed. We fled from the north to the south in search of safety, only to realize that there is no safe place.

•This is our home, filled with our memories and moments of joy and happiness, now reduced to rubble. Its destruction shattered our hearts.

I’m writing to you from my tent, which neither shields us from the cold of winter nor the heat of summer. After suffering through the harsh summer heat, we now await the winter with dread, living in torn tents and wearing tattered clothes, amidst severe shortages of basic necessities like food, water, clothing, and most importantly, safety.

•This is our tent, which does not represent any meaning of the word 'home'.

•My children are the heartbeat of my heart.

Hussein, who should have started his education by now, has lost his right to learn.

Rajaa, my precious little princess, has contracted hepatitis due to the lack of proper healthcare.

And Youssef, who was just one month old when the war began, is now taking his first steps, but they are steps into an uncertain future.

My children are the most valuable thing I have in this life, and I promise you, I will defy the impossible to ensure they are alright. The war has forced me to start a fundraising campaign to help myself and my family during these harsh times. To my friends on Tumblr, if you cannot donate, you can still help by sharing our story. Every bit of support or help could be the light that guides our path.

what’s happening in myanmar.

since the coup on 1 february, the military has become more and more violent, and it has turned the streets of myanmar a slaughter ground. unspeakable violence (the pictures i’ve been exposed to daily on my social media newsfeed are beyond heartbreaking and demoralizing — i can’t believe i’ve gotten so desensitized to seeing real-life sewn-up bodies and cut-off limbs). 71 innocent lives — that we know of — have been taken and over 1,700 people (as of now) have been unlawfully arrested and charged, including political leaders, activists, journalists and reporters, celebrities, and anti-coup protesters. the military terrorists wreak havoc in the streets at night, kidnap civilians, and return them in horrible, horrible conditions.

however, we will never yield. the more they try to beat us down, the stronger we will get back up. a lot of people around the country as well as myanmar citizens abroad are (peacefully) fighting back and resisting this cruel regime by spreading awareness online, participating in CDM, and protesting on the streets.

therefore, i would like to ask for donations towards organizations that are helping our civil disobedience movement (CDM) participants, frontline protestors, activists groups, as well as vulnerable people who are living in poverty and whose livelihoods are hit the hardest. just today, railway workers participating in the CDM movement are forced to pack up all their things in just two hours and leave the housings; these people are not just workers, they have families, young children, and elderly people with health issues, yet they all left with no hesitation to continue our fight for democracy.

so, friends and people from all corners of the world, if you have the financial means to, please consider helping and donating to our people who are risking their lives and their livelihoods to fight for basic human rights, freedom and democracy, not just for their own futures but for the future of many generations to come. please know that every single cent counts ! even just 1 usd (which is equivalent to about 1,400 mmk) is enough to fund for one meal in myanmar.

i know there are so many things going on in the world that need all our attention and support. what’s happening in myanmar is one of them! please consider donating and/or spreading awareness by boosting this post <3 thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart; your help is most deeply appreciated and you will always have my gratitude.

edit: i just found out that if you make posts with external links, the posts basically disappear from the tags. so, instead, i included screenshots with the websites where you can donate; they’re both trusted organizations but please dm me if you would like to have more information.

This a call for help.

My partner and I both have a very hard time asking for help but we are in a situation now where we cannot go without it and we don’t have family we can rely on or turn to for help.

We are currently in danger of not being able to afford our food and our home.

I know many other people are in similar situations but if you can’t help by donating, please pass this along. 💕

About a year ago my partner sprained their ankle on the job and was not reimbursed for missed hours. They are still paying off the medical bills as am I. Because of this, my sweetie and I had to move in with some dear friends into, well- -basically an old college party house for the cheap. I love our roommates but our paychecks don’t align and the heat is currently shut off and it’s starting to get cold.

I was recently let go from a steady (read: insurance included)- but god awful- job for bringing up the need for diversity training in the workplace as well as equal treatment. They gathered up other reasons so they didn’t have to say this was the actual reason.

We are both freelance artists and between our art and side gigs the money doesn’t always add up- even though we each have more than three jobs. It’s very difficult to find jobs that are fair to non binary queers (my partner and I) and to poc (myself) where we live. The town is so focused on who you knooow. So much so that I recently had to start a group for queer and/or trans people of colour in town to build a community.

We finally found a new place to rent together that is reasonable for us and our two cute kitties. They raised the rent from what they originally quoted us after we applied and then neglected to mention a $500 pet fee until after receiving our deposit and days before our move. In the area we live, there is no way to find a less expensive place because of severe gentrification across the city and we have already given notice that we are moving out.  

To add to the worries, my car has stopped working properly and it isn’t in drivable condition. So not only are we down to one car (whilst we each have three separate jobs) but we have to find a way to replace the other car before winter.

We have very little time to work this all out and even less due to constant working and awful doubles.

Please help us and our kitties stay afloat through this transition. Even $10 helps sooo much. My talented partner has offered to draw a rendering of your profile picture or other portraits if you donate $15 or more. Send it through Venmo and then send me a message that reads something like, “Draw me like one of your French girls”.  With the name you use on Venmo.

We appreciate your support and love so much.

Queerly Yours,

B+B 💚

PLEASE DON’T SCROLL

even if you only reblog, that’s enough

1st of February, 2021

i was debating on whether or not i should post this on tumblr but seeing as there haven’t been posts about this yet, here it is. i’m exposing my real location and nationality but it doesn’t matter.

if you have been active on twitter, you may already know #savemyanmar is trending. long story short, there has been a military coup. several nations have released statements but i want to share insight on what’s happening in the country.

memes about a coup have been circulating around for a couple days and when i slept at 2 am last night, we were still under the rule of the National League for Democracy (NLD). while they are not technically democratic, they are the closest we’ve got. when my mother woke up at 6 this morning, she was notified that the country was now under the rule of the military.

banks services are no longer available. wifi was cut at around 7-8. some people got wifi again earlier but many got it barely thirty minutes ago. this is bad for businesses especially ones that require international communications. additionally, international students like myself are experiencing anxiety; how do we pay for and attend classes if we’re not sure wifi is a given?

myanmar has a long, complicated history with military governments. the last time the military went into rule was in 1962 and only stopped in 2011, following the 2010 elections. there was a huge protest in 1988 lead by students that resulted in lots of death. during the military junta, resources like rice, water, oil, were scarce. the gist is military rule is bad for us.

all of my followers are not myanmar citizens, i’m sure but as part of the international community, please help us. here is a petition that you can sign (although i’m not sure if that can do much). there may be protests in front of myanmar embassies so look out for those. most of all, please help spread awareness. 

the people here are coping with dark humor, primarily in the form of memes but we don’t know how long this rule will last, even though the official statement said only a year. here’s something that pretty much sums up our coping mechanism:

again, even a reblog helps

update :: all telecommunication means will be cut off at 12 am MMT

I am trying to help the feral and stray cats in my neighborhood!😳😖

Hi, I don’t post on here a lot, but I would really appreciate it if I could get some advice. So, I have been feeding the stray/feral cats in my neighborhood, and I have realized that there a bunch!! I know that they probably come from the earlier generations of cats that people abandoned here when the housing crisis happened . I don’t know if I should call the shelter, but our shelter in my city SUCKS, and I am afraid that they’ll be off worse there.

So I have been feeding them and I was thinking about doing the “Trap, Neuter, and Release” process I have seen people doing. I know that this will help lower the feral/stray cat population in this neighborhood, but I am not sure how to start it. I do document the cats that I do see and who are the regulars that come by for food. I just feel really lost, and even though the internet is a crazy place it is useful. Also, does anyone know any good outdoor cat shelters.🧐🧐🧐

ANY ADVICE IS USEFUL! PLEASE I AM DESPERATE!!!!

P.S: these are some of the kitties😻

This is “Big boy”

This is “Lucky”

This is “Fluffy”
