Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted, my cupboards bare, I’m unable to cover utility bills, and I have several out of state medical appointments in the very near future.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

Life-Saving Liver Transplant for Shabahat | LaunchGood
It is with such a heavy heart that I write this.
My uncle, Shabahat Abbas Taqvi, beloved father of two and husband, discovered he was long overdue for a liver transplant on June 1st, 2017.
As a patient in Pakistan, he had been fighting various illnesses for years until the discovery was made that he had multi-centric hepatoma in his post-cirrhotic liver. Discovering this only a few days in Ramzan has been devastating for everyone.
Pakistani transplant patients have very little options. The most feasible option is to travel to India where organ transplants are performed in Indian facilities. The cheapest cost for this is immense; at the very least, treatment and food and accommodations, and living expenses + POST recovery cost would cost 200 000 dollars, including travel expenses and visa application costs.
My uncle has been unable to work for years and is entirely dependent on the part time salary of his son, who is also a student. As his son is the only match for his transplant, he will be traveling with them to donate a portion of his liver.
My uncle’s family has battled poverty for years and is unable to even fulfill the monthly budget they need for basic amenities, let alone this new immense cost.
I cannot believe crowdfunding is the only way to save the lives of people who can’t afford treatment–people shouldn’t die because they don’t have hundreds of thousands to spare.
I am asking anyone who reads this to donate just ONE DOLLAR–no more than that. I have seen how impactful dollar donations can be–they build up rapidly.
If you can’t donate, please consider reblogging this and posting this link to twitter/FB/any other social media that’s out there.
I want my uncle to live long enough to see his kids prosper, I want him to survive this.
Thank you so much for reading.
For a cost breakdown please visit the fundraiser link–we will post invoices as soon as we have them.

Almost knowingly the Dead Kennedys stepped away and contributed an abstract track which is a frenzied take on a phone call from Margaret Thatcher to Ronald Reagan. Paranoid visions which mirrored the pre 1984 world well. No pomp needed. (X)

Hell, Afghanistan’s no fun…
So whadya say?..
We don’t even have to win this war
We just want to cut down on some of this excess population…
…
Now just think for a minute – we can make this war so big – so BIG…
The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper…
We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queues if we plan this right
Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls…
Now don’t worry about those demonstrators – just pump up your drug supply (X)
Theresa May: I’ll tear up human rights laws so we can deport terrorists
One Conservative source said: “If human rights get in the way – we will do something about that. The threat is changing and we are.”
So, of course they’re back onto this. Been waiting for a renewed push, in light of the recent further excuses for it.
Meanwhile, this is how concerned they seem to be about human rights in general.
But, if you’re not a suspected terrorist or disabled person scrounger, there’s no cause for concern, right?

GET OUT AND VOTE OKAY ❤
EVERY
VOTE
MATTERS ❤
ESPECIALLY THIS TIME AROUND! The polls are statistically tied but they still give the advantage to the Tories because everybody “knows” that Millennials don’t vote. Please show them that you will vote when you have something to vote for, as is very much the case at the moment.
Use tactical voting. Go to this site and enter your postcode and it will tell you which party is most likely to get rid of the tories in your area. Shorthand: in England, Labour; In Scotland, SNP.
If ever there was a sign for how shit the Tories and their “strong and stable” slogan is, it’s this.
Weak and wobbly!
I’ve seen several posts going around about obvious furry porn getting put up in high-class art museums, where the general thrust is all “ha ha, those ivory tower snobs don’t even realise they’re putting furry porn in their art galleries, because they’re not Internet Savvy like we are!”
Let’s leave aside for the moment the question of whether this is a reasonable conclusion to draw, and assume for the sake of argument that art museums are, indeed, being bamboozled into putting weird fetish porn on their walls due to lack of cultural context on the part of their curators.
Now, take a step back and consider: what are the odds that this is the first period in history where these sorts of shenanigans have occurred?
Indeed, what confidence do we have that it hasn’t been happening constantly throughout the history of Western art?
How many of the respected works of eras past that we genuflect over every day are, in fact, weird fetish porn that we ourselves lack the cultural context to correctly identify as such?
…are you kinkshaming the Mona Lisa?…
I am absolutely kinkshaming the Mona Lisa.
I’m not at all convinced that we even have to posit weird fetish porn that we lack the ability to identify.
(Cut for image heavy, and also for, uh, weird classic fetish porn art (did those adjectives go in the right order?))
wait wasn’t it generally agreed that St. Sebastian pictures are a Historical Kinky Gay thing? did I just hallucinate this artistic consensus
