Please help me escape my abusive relationship for good

indigenousmess:

If you’ve been following me for a while, you more than likely know what’s going on, but for those who don’t know: I’ve been in an extremely toxic, abusive relationship for the past 6 ½ years with my son’s father. We have a 3 year old together. While I did leave him last year, I (stupidly) came back in March under the promises of “things would change” etc etc. He has been emotionally, verbally, physically, sexually, and financially abusive. I am cooperating with the state in applying for all kinds of state assistance I am eligible for. I have an apartment and have our most basic needs covered. I need help with covering rent at the end of the month as I can’t do it by myself (my rent is $936), I have no consistent means of transportation (there is no bus/public transit in the city I live in) and I really realllyyy don’t want to have to allow my abuser into my home just to help cover these bills. I can manage on my own, but I need help getting on my feet and establishing my independence in the time being.

Any resources, encouraging words (I have virtually no support system), or other help is so much appreciated.

My PayPal is c.newago@yahoo.com, or PayPal.me/bizaanideewin

Please please don’t send anon hate or criticism, I cannot stress how hard I am struggling with my own guilt and self-blaming right now

In light of Pride month, I would like to give a big ol FUCK YOU to straight couples who use dating sites to pick up bi women for their ugly sexual fantasies.

Another huge FUCK YOU to women who don’t want to be with bi men because they believe they are inherently gay

Another FUCK YOU to people who say bi women in relationships with men “have been straight all along”

And a big FUCK YOU to people who say bi people deserve abusive relationships because they’re inherently intrustworthy

Clinton’s Walk for Justice

I haven’t heard a lot about this man outside of Australia so I thought I’d make a post because he’s someone I admire. 

In March 2015 Colin Barnett announced that the West Australian government would be closing down 150 communities that they considered unsustainable. Keep in mind land is such a fundamental part of Aboriginal Culture and is connected to the identity of the people. As many of us know land in any culture is a very important part of who we are and how we identify ourselves. My Aunty would always tell me “they could kick me out of Australia and then I’d move back to New Zealand, and if they’d kick me out there I’ll go back to Samoa then no one can kick me out. Indigenous people don’t have that”. 

So closing these communities is a form of modern-day genocide. 

This man’s name is Clinton Pryor and he started walking September last year  across Australia from Perth to Canberra to meet up with prime minister Turnbull to discuss the closure of communities and Indigenous concerns. That’s 3088km, 1919 miles if your American. To give some perspective it’s like walking from London to Moscow + 400 miles. But even then that isn’t even the actual length because as you see on the map above he’s taking detours to Aboriginal Communities to hold discussions. No major news outlets have even picked up on the story ( I think I saw a short segment on SBS) and they are using money that’s being donated to fund the walk. So if you can please support Clintons walk for justice by donating or follow him on Facebook. The larger the public backing of  the walk the stronger the influence he will exert Canberra. It’s about time these ministers are held accountable. So all support is appreciated. If your from outside Australia even better! Send a letter of support do what you can. Thanks for reading hope you all have a good day! 

It’s been 272 days, 4000 km and Clinton’s made it from Perth to Melbourne! (so I’ve grossly underestimated the kilometers walked)… Follow clinton of twitter 
@Clintonswalk

Clinton will be in Sydney soon and will be looking to have ppl greet him when he arrives!! keep an eye on his twitter
