QUICKLY STOP EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE DOING AT THE PRESENT MOMENT AND TAKE A SECOND TO READ THIS:


This cat here is Morris, he is a 10 year old happy, playful, cuddling orange tabby. He has been living in an animal shelter for over 180 days. I have only just met Morris today (18/01/13 for date reference) but I have fallen absolutely in love with him. However, Morris has a condition with his eyes where his eyelashes grow inward, causing him excruciating pain. Due to this, he was operated on to try and fix the problem, but the operation they performed didn’t work. This leaves Morris forced to take eye drops constantly, and will need to have another operation or after time, he will go blind. 

I tried to adopt Morris. Morris is sponsored meaning his entire adoption fee (normally $55) is completely covered. Morris is a free cat. The problem with this is that Morris requires another operation to save his sight and to keep him from being in pain all the time. The people at the adoption center knew that my financial situation wasn’t reliable enough to provide him that second operation. So that is where you guys come in, Tumblr

I have seen several posts and have donated to a few causes to help people in bad situations. I know this isn’t exactly my situation, but I want to make it my situation. This cat is 10 years old and in a shelter. He doesn’t even have a real home or family. In the time that I was there at the shelter, he did not leave my lap when I sat down. The only time he moved was to adjust for better petting arrangements. People say sometimes your pets pick you, and I really think he picked me. If I could just raise money to donate him, I’ve been researching what kind of price estimates will be on his treatments, but it looks upwards into 1,000. But he’s worth it in my eyes.

Unfortunately, I work at gamestop for 7.41/hr. I can’t raise 1,000 dollars soon enough to be able to take him home from the shelter and make sure he knows he is loved and care for. I want to rescue him as soon as possible and let him live out his last few years knowing that he is loved and that I would do anything to help him. Even if I can’t raise the money, I’ve been trying to spread the word about him, just in case someone will adopt him. If someone else adopts him before I can raise enough money, I will make sure anything raised will go to him.

Even if you don’t want to donate to help Morris, please just reblog the message! I hope to at least be able to do something for him other than visit him at the shelter, knowing I can’t even bring him home when I go. (Morris is located at the Bloomington Animal Shelter in Indiana. It’s on Walnut Street if you wanted to look them up.)

Please, please spread the word! Anything helps!

NYPD Illegally Raids House of Man They Brutalized For Throwing Gay Pride Party, Days Before Court Date (Must Read)

A gay Brooklyn man is being targeted and harassed by the NYPD after filing a lawsuit against the officers who raided his home without a warrant and beat him unconscious.

It was early Sunday morning and Jabbar Campbell was hosting a gay pride party when two officers appeared at his house responding to a noise complaint. The officers told the party goers, some who were dressed in drag, to keep it down and left soon after.

10 minutes later, another group of police officers appeared. This time they tried to gain access to the building and began banging on the door with their flashlights.

One officer reached for the building’s surveillance camera (bottom gif.) and turned it towards the wall, blocking the view. 

“I noticed them turning the security camera and I got scared,” Cambell said, according to the New York Post.

Campbell opened the door after a few moments only to be ‘bum-rushed’ by the cop. Two officers put Campbell in a shoulder lock while “5 to 7” cops beat him with their fists, flashlights and batons yelling “fag”, “homo” and “asshole” at him until he lost consciousness. 

“They said, ‘Stop resisting arrest.’ I said, ‘I am not resisting.’”

But the cops beat him up anyway, he said.

“I blacked out. I was concerned for my life,” said Campbell.

The NYPD then arrested Jabbar and questioned the party goers who witnessed the beating, asking them if they were engaging in “gay orgies” and “screwing each other.” They told the officers they weren’t and they also denied that Campbell was resisting.

Police charged Jabbar with resisting arrest and possession of drugs, allegations that Campbell insists are lies, which must be so because the police later dropped the drug charges after the reported on the story.

The NYPD transported Campbell to Kings County Hospital where he received 9 stitches and was diagnosed with a concussion.

Since then, Campbell filed suit against police, but said more men armed wearing police jackets broke into his home without a warrant and their badges hidden from view just days before his court date. They harassed the guests who were at Jabbar’s house and wouldn’t give their names.

The men in blue allegedly asked if his security cameras were operational.

“I don’t know what they’re looking for, or if they were going to plant something,” Campbell said.

Campbell’s attorney said what happened to his client was a violation of the Fourth Amendment – illegal search and seizure. The NYPD’s Internal Affairs is investigating.

Campbell said he plans to sue the police department and at least nine officers for severe personal injuries.

I was able to get an interview with Jabbar Campbell who admitted to me that he believes the raid was intended to scare and frame him :

Anarcho-Queer: Before your attack, the officers blocked the view of a surveillance camera in front of your building by turning it towards the wall. Taking this into regard, do you believe your attack was premeditated?

Jabbar Campbell: Absolutely, the cops turning the camera, which would have been the best witness if not tampered with, shows ill intent.

AQ: During the attack, the NYPD yelled homophobic slurs. In your opinion, was the raid was motivated by hate against queer people and/or people of color?

JC: I strongly believe they (Cops) were targeting homosexuals. They were trying to portray me as some sort of disorderly, arm-flailing, drug influenced crazy homosexual. I also believe that they (Cops) didn’t expect so much brains inside of a dark skinned man in that neighborhood.

AQ: How many officers were involved in your attack?

JC: About 5-7 cops were beating me, approximately 20+ officers reported to the scene.

AQ: What weapons did the officers use to brutalize you?

JC: Fists, billy clubs, flash lights and things of such nature.

AQ: What physical injuries were sustained?

JC: Multiple injuries to my head, face, neck and back just to name a few.

AQ: After you filed a lawsuit against the NYPD, three police officers raided your home without a warrant and illegally detained your guests. Was this to intimidate you? If so, what message do you think they trying to send?

JC: I definitely think this it was an intimidation tactic and also a plot to frame me just to cover up their crimes. I think the message was that they don’t want people standing up to them.

AQ: What happened during the second raid?

JC: They broke in my home, searched my home and search my friends and colleagues taking their IDs and writing their names down. They had their badges turned around and would [not] give their names.

AQ: Are the officers who brutalized you still on the job?

JC: Yes, however, they are being investigated by IAB (internal affairs bureau) and the ADA.

Hello. Some of you may know me as Shelly. I’m a transgender woman who, last night, was outed to my conservative Christian parents. They have cut me off from the internet in an attempt to prevent me from accessing the “evil influences” they believe have sent me so far from their definition of righteousness. This is naturally a less than ideal situation for me and I need to escape my predicament. I currently live in Houston, Texas, and am now desperately searching for someone to move in with. I have enough money saved up to pay for a few months’ rent and would continue to do so after finding a job in the area.

Please, I need your help. If you have room to spare or know someone who does and live in the Houston area, I have given my contact information to my close friend Everanix. If you are interested, ask her about me and we can discuss further terms. I would like to be able to escape as soon as possible.

Today in gym, my FtM friend was told—by our GYM TEACHER—that he was not a guy and he had to run pacers with the girls and if he ran pacers with the guys, he would get a zero.

He ran anyway, and got a zero.

If you agree that this was total BULLSHIT, reblog this. I will write down every URL that does and show it to everyone at school, to show how many people thought this was complete bull.

Thank you

wow that’s really bullshit.

TW: VERY GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND DESCRIPTIONS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/ABUSE

Here is the petition on change.org

Please sign it!

From the petition:

Justin Lee Collins is a convicted domestic abuser and a bully who put my sister through a sustained campaign of emotional abuse.

It’s disgusting that Channel 5 have selected him BECAUSE of his conviction, to boost their flagging ratings for Big Brother, and the fact they are essentially rewarding him for his abhorrent behaviour with the offer of £100,000 to appear in the house!

JULIE VO: 
AGE: 16
Birthday: June 17, 1996
Vietnamese, Brown eyes, About 5 ft.
Her old Tumblr URL: xojayvee

She’s been missing for about a month now. Since early August.
She was last with the guy that’s in the pictures above. He claims that his name is Brian. 22 years old. And lives in Cypress, Cali. But the thing is, recently her family found out from running a background check on him, that he’s not who he says he is. So everything he’s told her is a lie.

We’re all really worried about her. The last time I saw her was at a get together my mom had, if not at Victoria (her best friend) birthday dinner. Julie’s a really sweet girl. She met this “Brian” guy online, over Tumblr. This very site I’m posting this on. So PLEASE, if anyone recognizes him or knows him or ANYTHING. Such as phone number, his Tumblr, FB, literally ANYTHING. PLEASE contact me in anyway. Or contact her best friend Victoria. (I will post our contact information below)

Please reblog this. As many times as you want. I want to help get the news out. All three of our families are really worried about her safety. We just want to find her and get her to come back home. It would mean a lot to us for any of you to help us. Thank you.

JULIE; If you see this, please don’t just ignore it. We really do want you to come back home.
