2018 diverse books giveaway

Hi everyone! For 2018, one of my goals is to promote more diverse books written by diverse authors, so I’ll be hosting a monthly giveaway (for a total of 12 winners). The books pictured above are potential prizes, but winners can choose other options as well :) 

Rules:

Diversity includes but is not limited to LGBTQIA+, Native, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.

Open internationally

Must be following me, findx

Both likes and reblogs count as entries. You may reblog multiple times.

Starting from February, at the beginning of each month I’ll randomly choose a winner from the notes.

In addition, I’m partnering up with nonprofits to donate one cent for each note this post gets towards books for classrooms in need! 

This giveaway ends Dec 31, 2018 at 9 PM EST. Winners will be notified on the 1st of each month.

HARRIET TUBMAN ESCAPED FROM SLAVERY AND THEN WENT BACK TO GET OTHERS. LIKE, I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO HARRIET TUBMAN IS AND THAT SHE DID THAT, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT IN FOR A SECOND. 

HARRIET TUBMAN WAS HELD CAPTIVE AND BOUND TO UNPAID, BACK-BREAKING LABOR SINCE BIRTH UNDER PENALTY OF TORTURE OR DEATH. SHE MANAGED TO ESCAPE THAT LIFE, AND SHE TURNED THE FUCK AROUND AND WENT THE FUCK BACK TO GET EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS STILL TRAPPED IN IT. AND THEN SHE DID IT AGAIN EIGHTEEN MORE TIMES.

WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS PREPARED TO MAKE A STAND AGAINST SLAVERY, HARRIET TUBMAN BASICALLY SAID HE SHOULD STOP BEING SUCH A DIAPER BABY AND THAT GUYS WHO ARE TOO SCARED TO END SLAVERY DON’T DESERVE TO WIN WARS.

NOT ONLY DID SHE SECRET OVER 300 SLAVES TO FREEDOM ON THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, BUT SHE ACTED AS A SPY FOR THE UNION ARMY DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AND BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN TO LEAD AN ARMED ASSAULT IN THE CIVIL WAR. THAT RAID BROUGHT FREEDOM TO OVER 700 SLAVES IN ONE GO.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO STEW ON THAT FOR LIKE A MINUTE. ACTING IN THE SHADOWS, SHE WALKED INTO HELL ON EARTH 19 TIMES TO SAVE HER FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS FROM THE TORMENT SHE ENDURED, AND THE SECOND SHE WAS GIVEN EVEN A MODICUM OF POWER, SHE MANAGED TO FREE SEVEN HUNDRED SLAVES IN ONE DAY. 

I GUARANTEE, HOWEVER IMPRESSED YOU ALREADY ARE WITH HARRIET TUBMAN, YOU ARE FALLING LIKE AT LEAST 40% SHORT OF HOW IMPRESSED YOU SHOULD BE WITH HARRIET TUBMAN. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF BADASSERY IN THE ENTIRETY OF AMERICAN HISTORY.

Soooo...hi?

I have kinda abandoned my studying blog during peak appblr/studyblr season and now everything has passed. A lot has happened that had been stressing me and I ended up not only abandoning this blog but tumblr as a whole. I also don’t have a IPad anymore (damned weak Apple screens!) and it’ll be harder to take pictures until I get another or get an IPhone. However I may start making small little updates on my college/scholarship journey and how things had been going. I also might do tips on the college application experience for low GPA students.

Hopefully the studyblr community is still alive and well~!

hey guys

I feel absolutely horrible asking for ~free money~ but I am out of options and I don’t know what else to do

please help and share this if you can, here is a link to the fundraiser - you can read more about what happened there

I might get a debt collection company sent after me soon and if that happens I will owe more and more money and then I’ll be done for and I am literally crying, I’m beyond scared
