I’m in desperate need of help.

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. If anyone can at least reblog this I would be very thankful. I go by Renee, I’m 21 years old, closeted bisexual and I come from a palestinian muslim family. I have lived an isolated life, wrought with physical turned emotional abuse by my mother who also faced abuse as a child. My depression and anxiety coupled with her treatment and restriction on my life has left me feeling awful, both physically and mentally. Art has become my passion and outlet in a household where any expression of emotion is punished. I have gotten where I am skill wise beneath all of that. I’ve been beaten down, spoken to in ways that no one should have to deal with for years. She has my life in a stranglehold. I’m not allowed to see my friends anymore. She’s trying to force me out of college. She’s trying to take art as an outlet away from me. She has even threatened to force me into marriage. She has taken all of the cash i have saved up, i have nothing now. She refuses to help me financially, and I’ve exhausted every option I have. I cannot stay here anymore. I’m already suicidal thanks to mental illness, and the option of transferring to an art college has been denied for me. I cannot be who I am here because of my mom’s anti LGBT views, and if they find out I renounced islam the consequences for both will be dire. If I have to stay here another year, I’m not sure what I’ll do. I have no other family, nowhere to go. But I want to move out and find some solace in my passion, attend an art school someday, go into animation. I want to finally live in peace. I have exhausted all of my options and attempts at this point. By the fall, I plan to move out to New York, but I have no money to my name. If you like my artwork, or would just like help me get out of this situation that’s plagued me for so long, I would greatly appreciate any sort of donation. All money donated will go to savings to help me move out. I will be linking my Ko-Fi account in all of my art posts from now on, and will soon be starting commissions so I can at least have some money to sustain myself. I’ll try to find other ways as well. I will be leaving said link here as well along with my YouCaring account. If anyone decides to donate I will be forever grateful, whether it’s because you like my art or just want to help. Please feel free to contact me if anyone needs further information.

For everyone’s information:

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is 'oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

Protests take commitment. They’re a defiant action against a business that is doing something wrong. They will try to scare you into not participating, because they’re scared. We hold all the power here, sometimes the execs just need to be reminded of that.

@anon-e-miss *cocks fly swatter* do not feel sorry for your views, we're all different folks with different interest. If anyone comes for you, my fly swatter is ready to smack some fools in the name of your honor!😆

Also, you mentioned She-Ra. Are you still a fan? If so did you hear about the reboot?

37, 38😄

37. IDW. If I had to choose between MTME or Lost Light I think Lost Light is my most hated of the two, but I hate them pretty equally. I know, I know people love these comics. But oh how I hate them. I don’t want to rip them apart, else I will get ripped apart for my troubles but I’ll be concise. For me, the writing is bad, the characterization particularly so. It’s cool if you like it, I don’t sweat it, but my opinions here are set, so no IDW defenders on this post, please.

38. I don’t remember this but I watched G1 at my babysitter’s place, a long with He-Man and She-Ra. When I was a little older I got into Beasties (ya that what we called it in Canada), and I still love that series. When I was in my 20s I watched all the old G1 episodes and really enjoyed it. So here we are.

Whatever froots your loops( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
