Hey tumblr it’s Tomi with a holiday/birthday post ^_^
As many of you may know I left a very unhealthy home situation a few months ago and now work full time to support myself and my partner. Neither of us have a car and we rely on Uber and our crappy bus system to get by. Also, this would effectively help me get gifts for my family as well. Aside from Christmas coming up, my birthday is January 27th and rather than make 2 separate posts I figured I would make one for everything to last for a while. If you’re feeling even more generous, please consider buying me something off my wishlist for a gift if you’d like. Aside from giving there is also the option of buying art from me! I literally depend on tumblr to survive other than my $9/h job so please if you’re able, please help. Thanks so much to everyone who has kept me going this far.
hey i haven’t gotten anything in several days and i’m already worried about my income once tumblr purges a bunch of people so PLEASE in the meantime help me. Like you don’t have to buy me anything from my wishlist that’s not my priority, I really just need help getting around and when I don’t get assistance here I Struggle a lot.
“In today’s unanimous decision, the Tennessee Supreme Court explained that, under state law, a life sentence is a determinate sentence of 60 years,” the court wrote. “However, the sixty-year sentence can be reduced by up to 15 percent, or 9 years, by earning various sentence credits (good behavior. & getting involved in prison based education programs while incarcerated) Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that a defendant serving a life sentence for a first-degree murder committed on or after July 1, 1995, may be eligible for release after serving at least 51 years of the sentence.“
For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:
Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.
After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.
Call Governor Bill Haslam (615)-741-2001. she has a Clemency hearing May 23rd. DEMAND JUSTICE!!
#StayWoke
The parole board split on whether Cyntoia should be granted clemency. /BillHaslam can still grant her clemency before he leaves in January. You can reach him at: phone #: (615) 741-2001; e-mail: bill.haslam@tn.gov
“but how does reminding ppl that lesbians who like men exist correlate to corrective rape theories??”
bc lesbians who like men don’t exist. period. no ifs, ands, or buts. they wouldn’t be lesbians if that were true. so to say there’s ones out there who secretly like men, u don’t think certain ppl aren’t gonna be compelled to act out accordingly?? u don’t think think there’s a whole conspiracy about how lesbians just need to be “corrected” in order to find men attractive??? and don’t act like this shit doesn’t exacerbate the fetishization of lesbians which already makes us targets of sexualized violence on its own. like idk how much more simplistic i can make this…
anyways please support sex workers during this. donate / support what content you can. reblog posts with their information if they’re choosing to move to another platform. don’t treat their livelihoods as a footnote in these discussions of these new policies.
stop humiliating fat children/fat teens/fat young adults/fat adults/fat folks in general. stop questioning/speculating on our food intake, our energy out put, how our individual bodies must feel, what our health is,etc.
don’t be afraid to find a new family. to find new love. to live somewhere different or to try something you’ve never considered. so many experiences and friendships and connections fade to pave way for new paths to be created.
some glo ups aint covered in make up and dipped in coconut oil. some are cold and wet in a strange way. some glo ups force you to throw away parts of yourself that no longer fit - no matter how long you’ve had them they. must. go. some glo ups leave you lonelier - wiser - but isolated. some glo ups are private.
