Hi everyone, I am really sorry to have to keep doing this, but I really need some help. For those of you who don’t know, last year I escaped my physically abusive family. I headed to NY where I thought I had some friends who could help me, and hopefully find work to support myself. Unfortunately, after being made homeless when my support group fell through, I wound up hospitalized instead for a breakdown, and have been in a spiral ever since. I’m currently trying to get disability for my severe PTSD and bipolar disorder, because my illness has progressed to the point of blackouts and losing spans of time that can last for days, along with the onset of chronic fatigue and pain that makes holding down a 9-5 job impossible. But I’m afraid it is taking longer than anticipated and I’m completely out of options.

I’m trying to maintain my housing situation for which I pay $180 a week (I pay every Tuesday). I’m in desperate need of rent because if I miss one payment then I’m back to being homeless.

If anyone can help me, even by just $1, I’d be so incredibly grateful. I pay my landlady through my PayPal which you can donate to via my Ko-fi here or PayPal here.

If you’d prefer to hire me, I am also available to hire, or you can take a look at my redbubble where I have t-shirts, home décor, stickers and much, much more available to purchase. Ideally, I’d love to work, so if you have any designs or t-shirt ideas or stickers you’ve always wanted, hit me up and I’ll see what we can do.

Hey, my name is Allen and I’m a closeted genderfluid panromantic asexual. I’m trying to escape my extremely toxic and often abusive home which is currently impossible because my mom has taken to following me to the atm. If you can send even 1 USD to paypal.me/betsyhawkins it would be an incredible help.

please help me. in the past 24 hours she’s done so much shit that could be considered gaslighting and abuse

Quoted from Gideon’s page:

Hi, my name is Gideon. I’m 30, black, disabled, queer. I just fled an
extremely abusive situation that became very dangerous for me physically
and mentally. I’m in a place where I’m much safer, but unfortunately,
things are not ideal. I spent everything I have moving here, and now I’m
struggling to pay things like phone, food, medication, buying things
like a bed and shelves to store my things, and a fridge to be able to
store food. I’m pursuing disability, but that will take time, and I need
these essentials as soon as possible, especially the fridge. Any help
anyone can offer would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much for
reading this!

Please signal boost fam, lets help Gideon get their fridge if we can. Their disability is made worse by not being able to eat safe foods, so any help would be appreciated ❤

I love Gordon Ramsay so much.

He comes from a very poor family. His father was an alcoholic who beat him and his mother (he once poured hot tea over her and put her in hospital several times), his brother is a drug addict, he literally built an empire out of nothing.

He credits his mother as his biggest inspiration and often has her cooking in his shows.

When he left his first restaurant he pulled a successful Jerry Maguire

– the entire kitchen staff went with him. That tells you what he’s like to work with.

He was one of the first to give a restaurant to a female chef.

He went to prison (Gordon Behind Bars) and taught inmates to bake and they opened a bakery (Bad Boys Bakery) that is still running. He hired one of them when he got out.

He did documentaries about the cruelty of shark hunting and cocaine. (when he discovered cocaine was used by his staff he didn’t fire anyone but made sure they are offered treatment)

His kids are a treasure.

He is always ALWAYS kind to servers.

When one of his partners (Marcus Wareing) wanted to leave they got into a fight and settled it in court, they no longer speak to each other but this is what Marcus said about him after the fight:

I feel bad that the first association to him for a lot of people is this shouty TV chef when he’s truly a wonderful person.

Oh and then there’s this:

this entire episode

never forget that the reason he’s “shouty and angry” on his tv show is that he’s yelling at people who ignore the rules of courtesy and food safety and basically feed their customers poison, something which would enrage any good person

Uncle Gordon

Gordon is precious and I love him.

I’m really glad people post stuff like this because honestly yes, the only thing I knew about Gordon Ramsey at first was that he swears like a sailor. It’s good to know that he’s a much more genuine person than that. This is probably also a good example of how television can shape our perceptions of people; TV producers are going to focus on what gets the most attention, not on what is necessarily best or most true about a person. It’s good to be mindful of that while watching reality shows and movies.

I have this theory that Neville is supposed to represent everything that Peter could have been. You know, both of them were the weak link in the friend group, the guy easily influenced. But instead, Rowling made Neville weak to prove the two paths an individual could take. How each of our weaknesses manifest in different ways. Peter’s weakness made him a villain, ultimately worse than Voldemort because he betrayed his friends, while Neville’s weakness made him work harder and in the end made him Harry’s strongest ally.

Harry = James, Ron = Sirius, Hermione = Remus, Neville = Peter, Ginny = Lily, Luna = Snape.

You will notice that none of the six from the old generation survived. The kids each have traits from the old generation but they’re here to fix the past, and thus must survive the series to metaphorically right the past. Some may raise their eyebrows at Luna as Snape, but just as Harry represents James (the popular kid who was good at quidditch, but didn’t become arrogant like his father) or like Peter and Neville (two people who could have been cowards, but Neville rises to life’s challenges) Luna mirrors Snape in being mocked, a pariah, Looney Lovegood and Snivellus. Instead of being resentful, she rose above it, and loved herself regardless.

If you went with Harry to the Ministry of Magic in book 5, you mattered beyond just backing him up against Voldemort. This core six represented the loss and failure of the Marauders generation, and the hopes of a post-Voldemort future.

Holy shit

WAIT!

Might I suggest every single thing from the above except

Harry = Sirius

Ron = James

Harry was the boy who grew up in an unloved house that was neglectful at best, abusive at worst, but eventually went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Gryffindor despite the odds of being in Slytherin, and found a new family in a group of friends.

Ron was the brave adventurous boy who grew up in a loving household (that was pureblood but quirky/uninterested in social norms), a boy who took in this raggedy abused kid as his brother, a boy whose family accepted said brother as one of their own without hesitation. (And on the ‘foil’ side, Ron represents the opposite of James as well, being a self-conscious poor kid compared to James’ arrogant rich side. Two sides of the same coin.)
