remember kids

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted
life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
Looking more like a checklist these days. I want off this ride. 😭
hey guys. earlier today my mom and dog (Samson) were attacked by someone's off leash dog at the park. My mom had to physically wrestle the other dog off of Samson and as such got banged up. she's already gone to the emergency room and cleaned up with shots and shit so she'll be alright, thankfully. We're at the emergency vet with Samson right now.
She managed to get the dog owner's license plate and we're going to file a report to have him pay the bills for this but who knows how successful we'll be or how long it will take.
My mother is already homeless living out of her car and she can't afford to be saddled with bills like this and I don't have a consistent enough income to offer her nearly enough support on this, so I'm swallowing my pride and asking for help.
I can't open my commissions yet so I have nothing to offer immediately but I'll open requests when I get home and at least see if I can get some small prompt oneshots out in thanks.
I'll update this when we know for sure how much it'll be costing us and just to update you guys in general on the situation. Thankfully Samson is doing alright as of right now (we got the bleeding to stop) and is just trying to rest until the vet tells us what happens from here.
I know times are rough right now so I'm not expecting everyone to give and I completely understand if you can't. Please don't donate if it would put you at risk or if you need the money yourself. I'm only asking for spare change, here. I don't want to put anyone in a bad spot.
Either way, thank you for your support, be it financial or just in general. This happening so soon after having to put our other dog down is obviously putting enormous strain on everyone. With any luck we'll get out of here soon with an affordable bill and a healthy dog.
Thank you thank you thank you

pick a name. any name. read their story. realize that what you feel now, they feel everyday, a thousandfold. donate whatever you can. at the very least, reblog if you can't.
