hello friends! I recently made an instagram account where u can find my original art, some fanart, dumb cartoons about my life and what not. If you’re interested go check it out at @sarbidraws . if not let’s just pretend this post never happened
Sara is super talented, cute, and funny and her art is The Best so give her stuff a peek and a follow for more awesomeness ❤❤
grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit
SHELTER
Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
Some churches offer short term residence
Find your nearest homeless shelter
Look for places that are open to the public
A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry
HYGIENE
A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
Local beaches, go for a quick swim
Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
OTHER

sunscreen
a travel alarm clock or watch
mylar emergency blanket
a backpack is a must
downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

Save a life reblog
i am so glad that i renblogged this however so long ago. i saw this post and shared it with others in mind, but now i am the one who really needs this. id like to think of this as good karma i guess
also a good list if anyone ever needs to run away from home for whatever reason.
Ok so long story short I have a couple of teeth that are literally disintegrating out of my skull to the point where you can see the hole when I talk and I have about $20 to my name. The appointment to get the fillings is going to set me back by about $400 NZD
(I have to get 3 or 4 of them since the condition of my teeth is getting worse due to my other health issues) and I can’t open up commissions for a while yet.

i know i asked lots already but if you have a twitter account and 10 seconds, i’d LOVE if you could give this a little like for me. it would mean SO much.
Tumblr @staff have been silent about the use of this site by white nationalist bloggers, while numerous other sites (see this post) have made actions to ban nazis/white nationalists/”alt-right”/fascists. Tumblr needs to know their lack of action is unacceptable. I love my tumblr community and want to stay, but if this continues, I will have to considering leaving.
I suggest we push back, and unite to boycott on a certain date. I’m arbitrarily suggesting September 1st – it’s nine days from this post, and that gives it enough time to hopefully get spread as far as possible. Boycotts only work if lots of people do it. Please consider joining me and logging off tumblr on September 1st, to let them know we’re serious about their apathy towards white nationalism.
Great idea.
Let’s also let @staff know that as they’re trying to increase advertiser spend, they should be well-aware of most ad tech companies (on the buy and sell side) have explicit rules against hate speech. You can tell Tumblr is aware of this because they’ve doubled-down on trying to locate the NSFW posts (quite badly based on how their technology fails so often) for what I imagine is brand safety for advertisers.
Given groups like Sleeping Giants has been successful in amplifying the voices of users protesting brands appearing on Breitbart, any other platform could be next in having their advertisers signaled with a screenshot of said posts where hate speech is proudly displayed against an ad served… well, you get the drift.
1.) Boycott
2.) Screenshot and tweet, byeeeeee
this is the one thing that might have an effect. all our @staff and emails and million-note posts don’t do shit, so hit ‘em where it hurts – their wallets.
one day – no posts, no replies, no hits. stay off tumblr. September 1st.
I plan on participating.
September 1st!!!
I won’t be here, anyone else with me?
-Mod Ryan
Who else wants to boycott @staff and their choice to ignore the growing hatespeech on tumblr?
I do. I’m going to set a notification for myself.
I had not heard about this, but it sounds like a good idea. Just put a “turn off your queue” reminder into my phone for tomorrow night.
Since I’m in NZ, I’ll go dark for my September 1st AND the US’s (through to Canada) in solidarity. In fact, queue will be dark after this post, fam. @staff needs to step up their game.
I’m so, so sorry guys to continue to post this, but I still desperately need your help. My electricity has so little left in it and I’m so scared that it will go off and I’m absolutely broke to do anything, I don’t receive any UC benefit again this month because I’m being reassessed due to my mental health and I’m literally living off soup because I don’t have anything else to eat. If anyone could spare anything please consider it, just a £1/$1 would mean the world to me or please reblog this in hopes that someone else may be able to help!!
Thank you🙏❤

You wanna be an ally? You wanna “punch Nazis?” Keep reading. Look, people. This is fucking serious. Please read.
We aren’t glitter bombing Nazis. We aren’t throwing flour on them. We definitely aren’t going to peacefully shut them down. They want to kill us, they said so in Charlottesville. They made it very clear where they stand and how they plan on taking action. Their violence needs to be met with great force.
If you are not down to physically fight these fuckers, please stay off the front lines. You’ll get hurt and your pacifism will be a liability, resulting in others being hurt. Run support. We need more support.
-Go to a street medic training -Run jail support -If you’re good at using the internet (as in better than average), learn how to securely (and correctly) doxx these people. -If you’re a creative type, write a zine about anti-fascism -If you’re EMT trained, HOST a street medic training -Become a legal observer through the National Lawyers Guild -Set up letter writing events to send to political prisoners -There’s a lot of parents who want to fight but can’t because of their kids, watch their kids for them -If you can cook, organize food drives/pot lucks for the larger demonstrations. -Help people in more counseling/therapy ways. -Help get needed supplies, such as food, water, and medical supplies. -When organizing, inclusivity is not optional, and is mandatory to win. -Listen to the concerns of those most effected.
