Black History Month Art For Y'all.

The way I've seen abuse normalized as a Jehovah's Wittness is appaling. I know so many people, including some in my family, who are stuck with abusive partners under threat of excommunication or "sinning against god". Few victims ever leave and those who find out about the situation often praise the victim for putting god first by staying.

On the other hand children are told their value exists in being fully obedient to their parents to please god. You are explicitly told that even if the parent is wrong or listening to them upsets you, it doesn't matter. Yet, they're surprised when abusers flourish.

Members can't acknowledge this because their relationship with the organization is the same. You do everything you're told, often in your worst interest, and you can't leave.

hhh i hate to have to do this again but my other post died out and im still struggling tbqh. i got enough to help me get out of the negative, and to pay off my utility bill but i honestly just need to eat now.  idc if you order me something or donate, i just need to eat.  my mental health is declining so violently. bc i haven’t been eating regularly.  

i’m a queer, nb person who is unable to work a retail/fast food job bc of the limitations of my body and the pain i’m in every day (broken back in 2 places).  i do online surveys but they’re not really enough to take care of all the things i need to take care of. 

if you donate and you reach out to me, i will draw you something.  i can’t take on commissions rn bc the pressure is more than i can handle but if you send me funds and want me to draw something for you in return please just reach out.  anything helps, any amount willl let me get something to eat.  for proof, this is my bank acct rn. 

my paypal is  paypal.me/tilianjustice

i also have venmo but idk what the phone number attached to it is so paypal is preferable.  but the venmo is @RK800 

thank you in advance, literally anything helps ;;’

Hey to any exjws.

While I may not know you, I know the pain you are feeling. I have felt how suffocating it all is, I have bled like you might be right now, I have done things I'm not proud of just to cope with it.

I'm telling you this because please don't ever for one moment feel like you deserve this. You are not alone. You are not sinful. You are not wicked. You will get through this. You will make it past this.

You can trust me when I say that because I made it through.

We are survivors

lmao i did this for the angst, but yeah fuck it, in my au bakugou slaps kirishima and drinks the poison anyway while glaring at kirishima and they get married. the end

happy lesbian day/week of visibility to disabled lesbians. when we see lesbians in the media, they’re almost always able-bodied. we rarely see any representation of lesbians who look like us. we struggle so much every day and hardly get any respect from the rest of the lgbt community.

we’re all so strong and beautiful. keep your head up and know your worth!

thinking about when i was a kid and the circuit overseers wife told me she thought people were born gay and it was caused by pollution

me, who was not alive in the 80s: god this really brings me back
