Hi! So, I feel.. completely juvenile and pathetic having to ask for help. But, I’m going to, because I’m struggling. And I’d really appreciate any help.
In short: I.. I need money so that I can put it into a savings account and have enough by graduation to move out of the unsafe environment I’m currently in.
I’m sixteen. I graduate highschool next year in November, after my 18th birthday. I have bipolar disorder, mild Asperger’s, and EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Specified - I vacillate between not eating at all, and bulimia). While I have prescriptions for medication for my mood swings and also for the trouble I have with sleeping, my mother doesn’t let me actually go out and buy it because it costs $100 a month. She doesn’t take any of my disorders seriously, even though I’ve tried to kill myself three times. When I have a panic attack, she yells and slams the door on me.
She spends any spare household funds on cigarettes and illicit drugs. Every time I try to save money, she takes it out of my wallet or rips my room apart to find it. Being able to get out of this house and go to university is what’s keeping me going, but if things just keep going like this I’ll never be able to do either of those things. I won’t have a future. I graduate at the end of next year, and if I end up staying in this house for longer than I need to I don’t know what I’m going to be able to do with myself. It’s not a safe environment, I know it isn’t, but I have no way to get out of it right now.
I know the typical thing to do in a situation like this would be to get a job, but my anxiety issues mean it’s a struggle for me to get to and from school without breaking down.
I’ve calculated how much money I could get together by graduation if I didn’t buy lunch at school and used a high-interest savings account, but it’s only a third of what I need. I’m not asking for donations. I was thinking I could offer up a graphic (examples) or photoset (similar to this one) as compensation for any money you’d be willing to spare. Fandoms I’m in are here. I’ll do any pairing, any character, any colour scheme, anything you want. If you can’t afford to, I completely understand! I know that finances aren’t an easy thing nowadays. Any signal boosts would be very very very very much appreciated.
I have exams next week so I’m spending some of my time studying, but I can definitely take time out to work on whatever you ask for. (Not to be rude, but I’m going to ask that if you’re going to ask for a photoset, please don’t only give me, like.. $3.. Photosets take me about 2-3 hours, if I’m focusing.)
I have PayPal, if you just drop me an ask, I can give it to you.
Um, if you read all of this, thankyou. And I hope that you’re having an alright day.
Help my bby out, please <3 I’m certainly going to, once I have the spare money.
Here’s a thing I wrote in the SomethingAwful.com Comic Book Movie Megathread during a conversation about race, race-switching, whitewashing, and the vague institutional racism of my great love: comic books (and their films). Just sorta thought I’d put it out there, as I’d LOVE to see this conversation happening in the larger sphere.

Always good to explore and learn.
Good to see how it’s reached many folks. Here’s a reblog in case you’re looking for free courses and help for academics or independent research.
this might be the best thing i’ve ever seen
yes and also hell yes
A lot of the women who complain about feminism really don’t know what feminism is. To a lot of people, feminists compose a group of homogeneous lesbian extremists who hate men and advocate female supremacy.
Idiots.
The most depressing thing about feminism is how there are women who shun it because of what they presume it to be, and not what they actually know of it.
Feminism exists because oppression, in varying degrees exists. If you think you’d rather just pretend oppression isn’t because you’re not experiencing it, well…
Not that I have anything against my friends, but sometimes I wonder why I grew up with people who just say the darndest things…

The White Savior Industrial Complex by Teju Cole [The Atlantic]
If Americans want to care about Africa, maybe they should consider evaluating American foreign policy, which they already play a direct role in through elections, before they impose themselves on Africa itself.

Where is her movement?
The new official Trayvon Martin website. Information, ways to take action, media coverage, and the 911 calls without ads.
So I finally made a flowchart as a guide for people who have the tendency to word vomit all over the place.
This is especially addressed to anybody who feels the need to harass the world (which includes me I just gotta put this out there) with their gravely ignorant and socially damning opinions.
