rupikaur_ ♥️🙏🏽 so many of you have asked what you can do to support the #farmersprotest : slide through for info or read below 👇🏽 1) post on social media to raise awareness. i know this seems small. but it creates a ripple effect that will save lives. i’ve been advised by many human rights organizations that raising awareness on social media is the most effective tactic when dealing with the indian government. they are highly sensitive to international attention- so let’s give it to them. 2) put pressure on your local politicians and those with influence. put pressure on the media. ask them to speak up and bring attention to india’s human rights abuses. when freedom of press is attacked- democracy dies. every statement from officials around the world puts pressure on the indian government to take accountability for their human rights abuses. 3) if you’re interested in donating- @khalsa_aid is a great international humanitarian organization who is helping providing resources to farmers on the ground. thank you for your endless support family- i love you all ♥️ your thoughtfulness and desire to change the world is forever inspiring our people started protesting in punjab as early as july 2020. they marched to delhi on nov 27 and have been sleeping on the streets since. punjab- haryana- up- rajasthan. and beyond. the people are united across religion and geography. singing songs of freedom. our people feeding the masses. our people dying. activists abducted. journalists kidnapped. the government is currently building walls of cement and spikes around protest sites to cage people in. they try to defame our heroes. they sexually assault women in police custody. but truth will prevail. all of you. all of us. the diaspora marched and continues to give its heart out. onward. louder. stronger my friends. it’s working ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽#farmersprotest p.s. i can hear modi crying while throwing a temper tantrum 😆 music to my ears !!!

Cat just got sicker and we need help fast. Cw for descriptions of her symptoms and illness

Princess is around 10 and was abandoned with me when she was around 3. She’s had tons of health issues over the years and I’ve taken out loans and gone into debt for her, fed her though a neck tube for a month, given her so many medications.

Currently she’s on meds for hyperthyroidism, but she has an unknown sinus issue that was being treated as an infection with no relief in symptoms. Her left eye is always teary, her left nostril always runny or clogged, and she has bad sneezing fits. She hasn’t been eating any cat food over the last two days, only human baby food.

She just had some kind of seizure. I went to check on my girlfriend and her out on the balcony, as as soon as I got there she stood up, lifted her front left leg all the way up, stumbled then lifted her back left leg. She got really stiff and weird for a bit. I didn’t know what to do so I just picked her up and cried. She eventually relaxed and is walking fine now but something’s clearly wrong and we need to get her seen ASAP.

The vet we go to is $80 to get seen, then additional fees for tests and medications. I have no clue what we’re looking at, but I’m gonna aim for $300 since that’s the most expensive fee we’ve had for her so far.

If you can help, my paypal is paypal.me/fuzzcheeks and my cashapp is $fuzzcheeks. I’ll post proof of her visit and how much the bill ends up being. If you are familiar with my art and wanna commission me, please dm me.

Please reblog if you can

hi friends! I hope you’re all staying safe!

I’m a disabled WOC desperately asking for your help to raise funds for a surgery that I desperately need.

This is a donation post I had before that shows some proof & i have added photos of my first laparoscopic surgery.

This surgery would greatly improve the quality of my life... Right now I’m in so much pain that I can barely walk without support and I experience this excruciating pain every single day.

The surgery is a laparoscopic surgery that would remove growths (due to endometriosis) and would decrease my pain levels SIGNIFICANTLY.

The surgery costs 15,000 USD...

Here are the ways you can donate:

Cashapp ($emmar0seg)

Venmo (@emmar0seg)

PayPal

Gofundme (same gofundme as I used for previous donation posts so my hep c is mentioned but I have to put that on pause for right now...)

Ko-fi (I will be adding writing commissions)

Also: @breakingfree has so very kindly offered to do drawing commissions for you all simply for donating to help fund my surgery!! (any amount counts)

(@breakingfree added limits/guidelines; below is a screenshot of those & here are some examples of the type of artwork he could draw for you if you can donate!!)

Please consider donating if you can... I’m so terrified I won’t have enough money for this surgery that would help me so much.. and I’m asking you for your help if you are able... if you can’t donate, please consider reblogging/signal boosting this to get the word out.

Right now I have saved:

1,600/15,000

Things they don’t tell you about top surgery

- Talk to the surgeon about the size you want your new areolas/nipples (don’t be afraid to ask)

- Numbness. No one talks about this for guys who are about to have surgery. You’re going to be numb all in your chest area, especially where the incisions were. They cut nerves as they pass along your chest, and it can take up to a year to regenerate those nerves. Still, feels super foreign for the first two weeks

- Make your bed into a pillow chair, body pillow, two on each side, and two for your head. 

- Sleep alone. I tried to sleep with my girlfriend and it was miserable. You really do need the entire bed for yourself

- Go on Groupon, & get yourself a 10 foot lightning cable iPhone charger, BEST THING EVER, can reach from wherever you are

- Don’t take a week off from work, take two. You will regret the one week, and love the extra time

- When they say “don’t move too much, even after the first week”. LISTEN. I moved way too much and got so sore super quickly. 

- Drink lots of water & eat if your taking the pain medication, otherwise your stomach feels super funky.

- Get stool softeners, & don’t be afraid to take those babies. Don’t wait a week to poop. you’ll surely regret it. 

- The drains are scary & they may hurt while draining or rewrapping your dressings, but once they come out, the second they do, its no more pain, its crazy. 

i hope this helps someone, because i wish i knew all of this when i was having mine a month ago. Looking back its like everyone forgets all the real negatives, its a great experience, & i healed very well & quick compared to most, but the first few days are crazy. They hurt, suck but it gets better.

What is your favourite story/anecdote about Katherine Howard?

oOK i actually answered this ages ago and saved it in my drafts where it got buried so….. here we are?

numerous, tbqh. i could (and do) talk her for hours at a time, so i’m just gonna list a load of super cool things katherine did.

she really tried to avoid henry manox’s advances, and when he tried to threaten and blackmail her, her response was to set francis dereham on him, and to break into the dowager duchess’ room to steal an incriminating letter he sent.

she got super pissy with mary for snubbing her and stripped her of two of her ladies of service. mary reconciliated with her, and the ladies were returned to her household, and we have no further evidence of katherine and mary quarrelling, but katherine proved able to stand up for herself and act independently. (it also suggests she was quite proud - which i love about her).

she potentially got pregnant once, but had an early miscarriage, in april 1541. we don’t know for definite what happened, but there was definitely a short period where people in court were preparing for a future royal birth and coronation.

she saved thomas wyatt’s sorry white ass from being executed for treason. (she saved multiple people!! katherine interceded on the behalf of at least three people. she also supported margaret pole in the tower by sending her tailor to equip margaret with warmer clothes for her winter in prison.)

SHE REALLY FUCKING LIKED FRENCH FASHION OKAY.

she was fucking besties with anne of cleves. she gave her a ring and two spaniels for christmas, and they danced together all night for yule when henry retired to bed, early.

katherine really liked elizabeth, and went out of her way to show kindness to her. when katherine was formally shown off for the first time as the new queen consort, she made a point of demanding that elizabeth be sat opposite her, because elizabeth and her were related by blood. katherine continued to demand elizabeth sit at the place of honour nearest to her for every formal, public engagement. 

she also organised for her and elizabeth to meet outside of formal events, and travelled to meet elizabeth at chelsea during the 5th and 6th of may 1541. 

katherine also gifted elizabeth a jewel, and a decorated rope of beads, around november 1541.

she kept her family close to her, and we have evidence that she gifted jewellery to her sister, amongst other examples.

she gave jane parker a ring as a gift. thomas culpeper stole it to keep for himself, so jane sought katherine out to complain about it.

katherine called thomas a “little sweet fool”, and bitched to jane about him troubling her.

when jane tried to leave her and thomas alone together, katherine got angry and chastised jane for being a negligent chaperone, calling her back.

katherine rejuvenated henry and made him actually try to get fit again. he got into riding every morning, and started hunting again, to try to please his younger wife. i think, had they been married longer, henry would have lived longer.

katherine represented the conservative catholic faction, and towards the end of henry’s reign, he began to question the reformation and anglicanism. katherine howard, therefore, posed a significant threat to the protestant faction, and she bears some religious significance in her role as queen during this period.

during her downfall, she showed remarkable emotional fortitute and made a tremendous effort to make the best of her situation. she was noted to be calm, cheerful, and even imperious, during her final months - though she did have lapses in confidence, and we know of a few examples of her getting very paranoid and upset and hysterical, in once instance enough to cause men to have to wrestle her into submission to get her into the boat to take her to the tower. nevertheless, katherine tried to put on a brave face, and to spend her final days in as much dignity as she could.

she asked to practise how she would be executed. this is an uncommon request, and as far as i know there are no other instances of this recorded. to me, it’s a very sobering and humbling detail in her life.

god i haven’t spoken about katherine in so long!! i’ve missed her.
