Things have been rough for him lately and he looks like he could use our good wishes and our love a bit. I know this is a silly idea but if we all reblog and share little notes and messages of support, maybe just maybe it could reach him somehow. After all the man and his music helped us so much and comforted us in trying times; when we were alone and unheard, when we were young and helpless, when this unfair world brought us down.
Let’s share the love people!

I see more posts by white people asking if it’s “okay” for them to see Black Panther than I do see them asking for links to charity campaigns trying to help young Black kids see the movie.
which is to say the BP tags have like three of the former posts every day, but I have yet to see a SINGLE post by a white person asking people to send them links for campaigns they can support.
I need someone to realize that this is the pinacle of performative allyship.
they’re out here trying to get their hoodpass into wakanda but aren’t ready to let Jerome hold a dollar. They want to be invited to the cookout, but won’t even bring a bag of ice. They want to think themselves the ‘special white people’ but don’t actually want to do the work of the special white people.
and before you, white person clearly missing the point of this posts asks, yes, you CAN reblog this if it’s to show support of the message.
Here’s some links, btw, to gofundmes that still need funding for helping black kids see Black Panther:
Yo, so I need to buy a new computer because the laptop I currently have is 5+ years old, and cannot handle any new art software nor successfully handle the rendering of my illustration and graphic design work. Right now, every cent of my paycheck at work is going to student loans, so, commissions are open!
Requests will be accepted only through email: jdavisdesign@yahoo.com
I have 4 open available spots at this moment. If you contact me after the spots get completely filled, you will have to wait until the next commission opening post. Here is what is currently available:
1.) Full Painted Portrait 2.) Full Painted Portrait 3.) Quick shade and color 4.) Flat color w/ lineart
^Not actually a starter call, and I don’t normally do this, but I was approached privately by a friend of this person to find out what’s up with @lostwolfkiller as they haven’t posted since Sep. 16 of last year.
Anyone with any info, pls reblog/comment/send me a message privately.
I know that in internet land we all get like, fundraiser fatigue. I don’t reblog every link I see because I would never be able to keep up.
However, this is an old friend of mine who’s been in a shitty abusive relationship for years and it’s just getting really scary. He controls her bank account so we’re having to do this in secret–we have some third parties available to get the money to her when it’s time so that he doesn’t intercept. But he’s getting increasingly violent and this shit needs to fucking stop.
You might also call this fundraiser:
Help Kacy and her Various Goth Friends Avoid Murder Charges Cause I’m Ready to Fucking Vivisect This Fucking Dude
If you can help, even a little, even just sharing, please do. ❤
I usually don’t reblog these bc of the fundraiser fatigue thing, too, and bc it’s hard to know whether they are legit or not, but in this case I met @monstersinthecosmos in the flesh, so if she says this is legit, then I take her word for it. And yeah I’d prefer she and her Various Goth Friends avoid murder charges!
So if you can’t help, signal boost, please. Much appreciated!
I don’t normally do this, sorry for the interruption, this is Not VC related.
One of the best artists I’ve ever seen, @eliciadonze, is getting an enormous amount of hate, both on anon and off. They have tried to block the hate but it is relentless (they posted a few examples, see under the cut). It seems like it has escalated recently.
The best response to this right now is to drown out the hate in positivity, please check out their archive and like/reblog their beautiful art! I’ll be doing that momentarily. Or, send them kind messages. Please do not attempt to give advice. Kind words are a salve to help this artist heal from the cruelty of these anons.
(If the artist wants me to revise/delete this post, I will do so. I just felt that I might try to help by rallying some positivity).
Warning, these messages are very disgusting and cruel. I include them bc the artist had posted them so that we could see just a tiny sample of what they get on a REGULAR basis. I’m not doing this bc the artist is talented (they ARE!), but because there is absolutely NO REASON EVER to send this kind of vitriol.
i am writing a school assignment that discusses the cease and desist letters sent out by anne rice and her team in the early 2000s, and was wondering if you or anyone you know still has a copy of the letter sent to them? I would like to include a copy of a real letter sent to a fan over fanfiction in my assignment. Feel free to redact personal information as well
#Boost, and TBH I’d be interested in seeing a sample of these, too. I’d like to see just how rough they were, or if they basically just had the standard boiler-plate demands…
