You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

Help Whitney pay for her breast cancer bills

Tue, 21 May 2013 22:39:47 +0100

Help Whitney pay for her breast cancer bills:

petitedeath:

petitedeath:

Please support Whitney as she battles stage 4 Breast Cancer.

Where to start?

My best friend recently found out she has stage 4 breast cancer. Last month she got a double mastectomy and pretty soon here she will be loosing the hair that goes all the way down to her butt. She’s incredibly strong though, the strongest person I know, so I know she will overcome it. However, the price tag on fighting for your life is more than she, or any of us make. Even with insurance. And just this fall she and her boyfriend signed the papers on a new house after she got a much deserved new job. So its not easy. She’s paying out of pocket for a lot too. Shes already getting calls from collectors as if dealing with cancer wasn’t enough.

I met Whitney when I worked at a crummy diner as a waitress. She was my manager and pretty quickly we became close friends. Shes on of those friends who listens to you genuinely, shes kind, shes giving and shes incredibly thoughtful. She’s always thinking of others and always doing things for others, going above and beyond what any normal person would do. I used to stay late at work just to hang out with her or come in on my days off just to talk. We lost our jobs together too when the restaurant we worked at shut down without notice. Then she threw a party for all of us to celebrate..because thats the kind of person she is. She even saved some of our name tags and keepsake type items and gave them to us.

Losing a job on the spot wasnt as big of a deal for me at the time because I was young and had a spouse and didnt have a kid or anything. She on the other hand was living on her own taking care of her two beautiful children. She has a daughter and a son. Her son is a brilliant 13 year old. He has autism but he doesnt let that hold him back. Hes a talented musician who sings and plays multiple instruments and records and mixes his own music! Her daughter is a few years younger and is so spunky and vivacious and totally her own person, she wants to do roller derby some day. She lives for those kids, shes always doing projects for them and worked extra hours so that she could get her son into a school that could give him the help he needs as an autistic kid so he could flourish.

Thankfully she got a new job as a restaurant manager and a promotion, it came with a lot of work though. But she was able to get her own home and move her boyfriend in. Its beautiful and she deserves it after all she has been through and all she has done for others. You can see in each room of the house the love and care she has put into her family and how hard she works for them. She sacrifices so much and doesnt ask for anything in return.

Even through all of her surgeries and radiation and everything, shes still taking time to do things for others and its just amazing.

Shes a total badass and I respect her so much. Shes a big wonder woman fan, but frankly I think shes wonder woman herself. I dont know anyone who is as kickass as her while still being the most thoughtful friend and amazing mother. Words cannot describe the wonder that is Whitney. Its true what they say about bad thigns happening to good people because I couldnt think of a better person.

I could go on and on attempting to describe what makes her amazing and why she is worth the money but I have to stop at some point. The point is, shes amazing, and she has an amazing family and what she is going through is sooo incredibly hard and shes getting collector phone calls already and having a hard time making copays. Cancer is hard enough as it is, help make it a little easier on her by helping her make her medical bills.

heres a picture of her with my son at her farewell party to her boobs.

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND. Share it on fb or whatever. I really appreciate it.

PLEASE she just found out today that the cancer has spread to her spine and is going to require additional radiation

at least reblog it…

This is JASON FYLES and he goes to my university (Newcastle University, North East of England) He is 19 years old, 5’8, ginger hair and slim. He was last seen in the Sandyford area at 2:45am on Thursday morning and has not been seen since. He was wearing a blue shirt, grey cardigan, beige chinos and brown ankle boots. Everyone in uni is so worried about him along with his family and friends. We are coming together as a university to appeal for his safe return. It is thought that he lost his friends on the night out and tried to make his way back by himself. Please, I am begging for you to REBLOG THIS, even if you don’t live in Newcastle, or England. Every REBLOG means that someone else will see his face, they will know who we are looking for, and your followers could be the one to know his whereabouts. Stay safe Jason, we’re looking for you.
THIS WILL NOT RUIN YOUR BLOG!

Local news report

PLEASE. Nobody reblogged my own post on this which I posted an hour or so ago so I’m wondering if nobody will now. This guy is my friend. If I have ever sent you a nice ask or reblogged something of yours and it made you happy for a second (or even if I haven’t; this is about helping him, not doing me a favour) for God’s sake just help now, help to find my friend Jason. You want me to make him human to you?

Once we all grew beans in pots as part of a Biology experiment- the experiment failed miserably and made the whole lab stink, but his was the only bean that grew and he was actually pretty proud about it

He learned to knit as part of a school project where he had to learn a creative skill, and when a couple of people teased him about it he said “gender is a social construct” and carried on knitting like a badass

He loves the scene in The Great Gatsby where Gatsby throws all his silk shirts around and he and I used to giggle over it together

Once I asked him if he had a string of tinsel I could use in a photoshoot and he brought me a big cardboard box full of tinsel and fairy lights because he’s a helpful and lovely guy

He’s HUMAN and he needs our HELP and just PLEASE PLEASE FUCKING REBLOG THIS??? He’s been missing for four days now- when he went missing he would have been wearing his contact lenses and he won’t have had his (very thick) glasses with him so by now he’ll have had to take his contacts out and throw them away and he won’t be able to see well and oh God just please signal boost this

I reblogged this earlier but there are thousands of you who see my posts so it’s worth putting it out there again

I feel like this tells anyone everything they would ever need to know about what Eurovision is about.

Soprano Sauron.

What is going on.

I think I want Greece, Denmark, Ukraine, Norway or Romania to win. Any of those is fine.

I want nothing to do with a feminism that excludes trans* women. Go be a cisterhood without me.

Feminism must be intersectional and inclusive or it is bullshit.

I spend an awful lot of time pretending I’m not feeling lonely right now. I think everyone has someone more important than me. And I don’t necessarily mind that, I don’t wanna be most important to everyone cos that is selfish and ridiculous. But idk. I jut don’t wanna be by myself tonight.
