ALTin italy, lesbian parents are being removed from their child’s birth certificate in favor of the ‘biological parent’, regardless if that person ever had a role in raising the child. welsh has been doing this as well. it feels like we’re going back decades.
"please buy crabs so that Tumblr doesn't have to implement changes we hate to become profitable" right, let me explain something about capitalism.
Tumblr didn't change course because they need the cash and are down on their luck. they did it because corporations want growth.
and that desire for growth is gonna be the same whether they have negative infinity money or positive infinity money. a corporation seeks money and growth.
if Tumblr suddenly became profitable after announcing these changes, it's not even that it would send the wrong message, although it would.
it's that Tumblr wouldn't be taking care of us better if only it weren't for the cruel realities of the world. it's a subsidiary of a corporation. it doesn't care.
it's still going to keep the changes that it thinks are profitable, and ignore changes it thinks won't be. Tumblr is not our friend, it is a website we use, and it wants to profit from us regardless of if that's in our best interest and regardless of if it has "enough" money. that is the relationship. don't get it twisted.
"yeah but Tumblr needs the money 🥺"
what part of corporations aren't our friends isn't fucking clicking

I cant quite find a job right now, Im in college and I struggle with physical pain often, Im also trying to find doctor appointments to consult about my possible tinnitus & astigmatism. Im quite frankly not enjoying my time lately at home so I would like to move out.
Rent where Im looking for to stay + Common expenses are 600 approximately. I will try and get a job next summer during November & December, so I can cover most common expenses & rent, but meanwhile any donations would help immensely.
Were also looking to meet up with my boyfriend soon. If you could help them out too that would mean a lot. Here is their venmo.
Here is my paypal. Here is my ko-fi.
Please dont tag as anything & please share. Thanks
CGI animators should unionize next. normally, their jobs would be too precarious to strike, since studios would replace them without a second thought, but if it's part of this larger general film strike, they might finally have meaningful power to better their working conditions
if CGI animators unionized, it would kill the MCU. straight up. the the entire business model is built on exploiting CGI animators
THEY ARE TRYING!!!!! SIGN THE PETITION TO GET THE DISNEY ANIMATORS' UNION RECOGNIZED
this petition is from IATSE (union), btw! it actually has credibility, unlike most change.org/etc petitions! please sign it!!
PLEASE DONT TAG AS D/NA/TIONS ETC!!
hey, I didn't want to do this but Im at my wits end. I'm Haney, im disabled physically and mentally, and I need financial help. Recently me and my two friends have been kicked out of the place we've been living at and had to scramble around to find a place that would let us move in. We had no money at the time and we still barely do. We found a flat that let us take our cats and also allowed us to pay some costs like agency fee at a later date to help us. I borrowed 3k PLN from my (also struggling) family to pay the first rent, but we still have to pay 3k deposit to the landlord, and 2.5k to the agency. My paycheck this month was only 2.5k, and girls are struggling with money too, we just don't have enough and I have noone to turn to at this point.
We're around 2k short, not even counting in things like food, and my family is broke, so I have to ask for help. Literally anything will help, because a single dollar is worth quite a lot of PLN. I can do anything in return too: draw, write, help you with homework or projects, teach you polish lang/history, send nsfw content, whatever comes to your mind, just tell me and I'll try my best. I work 10-12h shifts so it might take a while but it'll be done.
I have ppal, and if you're polish ask me for BLIK. I'd appreciate any help and reblogs. Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who reblogged and donated, because of your kindness we've been able to pay the agency fee!! Also, I negotiated with the landlord to pay the deposit in two parts in this and next month, which means that we menaged to pay off all the costs for now and keep the roof above our heads!!* We wouldn't be able to afford this without the help. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️🫂
However, this quite literaly cost us everything we've got, and I quite literaly do not have any money for food. The most important things have been paid off, so this is not as urgent, but I would really appreciate if i could ask for last 50$ so we can stock on food and ration till the end of the month. This is the last thing we need to get back on our feet.
*feel free to ask for proof/receipts! however idk how to show these things without doxxing myself so I would be obviously censoring private information 😭
I wasn't going to post about this but the recent headlines changed my mind. A couple of weeks ago someone linked me this design and asked if it was mine. It's not. I don't work with Romwe (owned by Shein). However, their shirt is a blatant knockoff of one of my designs that I've had for sale for 3 years now. I'm not sure what I'll do about this situation yet. Fyi, my official merch is always linked in my profile (and sometime soon I should have a bunch of new designs, including a series of significantly improved cherry blossom designs)
