I wanted to post about this because I know many of my mutuals are avid crafters and I don't know how much attention this endeavour is getting outside of end-of-life spaces-

The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."

(the red heart marks the last stitch made by this person's mom) Anyway, if something like this is something you'd like to be involved in, they are always looking for more crafters <3

yeah actually we removed the big bad wolf from the little red riding hood story because portraying violence against minors is really messed up. yeah. yeah also the wolf narrative was really predatory and had had some icky grooming vibes and a fable meant for literal children shouldn’t have implied p*do shit and grape so now little red riding hood goes into the woods and nothing happens and she goes to grandma’s house. don’t worry our kids will still stick to the path and know not to follow to wolves implicitly because we told them to and children should always do as their told. just like little red riding hood does now.

Cancer sucks!! I'm scared that I'll lose my dad, and I desperately need help!!!

Thursday, August 28th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman, and I regret needing to ask for help again, but I need assistance in covering travel expenses to visit my dad.

On August 15th, I received a call from the hospital regarding some check-ups my dad had due to a persistent cough he's had for some time. To our dismay, they've diagnosed him with throat cancer. We're still processing this, and my dad was given two options: chemotherapy or a laryngectomy (removal of the voice box).

The last few weeks have been especially tough, with my dad travelling back and forth to The Royal London Hospital for various tests and scans. Thankfully, the doctors have assured us that if the cancer hasn't spread, the best chance for survival would be to proceed with a laryngectomy. He is scheduled for the operation on Tuesday, September 2nd.

If all goes well, he’ll spend about a month recovering in the hospital, learning to breathe, eat, and communicate without his voice and through a stoma. Right now, my sister is caring for him. I’ve booked my ticket to visit him later today, but we’re in a tough spot without the means to return home, as we could only afford one-way tickets. A return trip costs £167 for two adults.

I have also had to reset my goal, as I've had to use some funds for transportation, so my new goal is £150!!

I know this is a big ask, but if anyone could spare even a small amount—just £1, $1, or €1—it would make a truly significant difference. Sharing this message would also help just as much.

Sorry for the lengthy post, and thank you so much for all your help and support.

£0/£150!!

About Lil Nas X & Criminalisatiom of the Mentally Ill.

No one can say for sure, but it seems Nas has a decent support system who care about him. I hope he recovers and the public aren't too cruel to him. A mental health crisis can effect anyone.

Very disgusting of the Christians online using this to evangelise & further degrade him. Not speaking about the ones genuinely showing love & praying for him, like his father (Robert Stafford.

There is no autism that makes white people unable to understand racism and when they're being racist. Please. Be serious with yourself and us.

Hey, man, c'mere. Listen. Get in real close, this is important.

You're gonna make stuff again. You're gonna make stuff you're proud of. You're gonna make stuff you're excited to share. You're going to feel that overwhelming drive to create, not just the frantic I want to want to you're stuck in now. You're going to have awesome ideas, and you're going to make them into reality. You're going to create again. You're still an artist. You're still a writer. You're still home to the same passion you had before. You'll find it again. It's not gone. It's just resting. Let it rest. You're going to make stuff again. I promise.

“no crew, no help, just pure hustle” cut to this poor woman bawling her eyes out. what the fuck is wrong with people? why is this being framed as a good or impressive feat? this person makes below poverty wages already. Burger King meanwhile takes in $27 billion in global revenue every single year. everyone involved in making this woman endure this should be tortured and force fed chicken fries until their heart gives out. fuck this country.

“I’m wearing a thrifted rugby shirt, tie by Kenzo, shorts by Anglan, Doc Marten loafers, sunnies lent from a friend and the bag was a happy accident from a sample sale. I don’t think i have a set style. It all just depends on my mood and what I’m feeling. I love experimenting with silhouettes, textures, and masculine vs feminine. I’m a sucker for flares of the 70s, shoulder pads of the 80s, and vintage tees.“

Yesterday, my mother fractured her arm while trying to get aid. I couldn’t go with her because I’m severely malnourished. She smiled through the pain so we wouldn’t worry, but I could see it all in her eyes — and it broke me.
