ALL 42 SURVIVORS!!!!!!!!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷

one whole year later….make that all 46 survivors now 🫣

Here I am, posting something similar like the fibro post... this one goes out to my psychotic folks🫶

[ID: Every image has a light gray background and a slightly darker gray border. The font for the text is dark gray. Occassionally OP draws themself in. They are coloured in white with black lineart. There is some shading in gray. In the first image only, OP colours their eyes light green.

1: The Psychotic Spectrum ...And My Own Experience (A Guide!!) =D

In the middle of the graphic, OP wears a button up shirt and a sweater over top. The shirt collar sticks out from the colour of the sweater. The shirt is buttoned all the way up. OP has shaggy shoulder length hair and black nails. They are wearing glasses. An arrow points at them reading, "Brought to you y a schizospec guy."

"No, I am not a cold-hearted psychopath," they say, gazing tiredly to the left, "nor is that silly thought of yours a "delusion"...."

2: Introduction To The Topic:

All fingers extended and hand flat, OP gestures sharply as they say, "Psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, are still widely misunderstood disorders. Many people fear other psychotic people and have very wrong views about them, believing they're dangerous, cold, without empathy, and most media display us as serial killers or make us the abusers.

This is simply [red font] not true! It's been proven that psychotic people are the one's more prone to getting abused or being victims of abuse. [end rent font]

3: The text continues. "Sadly, there is still bad representation in media displaying psychosis/schizophenia." Below the title are two examples of poor representation. OP is drawn small at the bottom, lineart only. They continue on with, "Either they display psychosis like something "magical" (making it seem like a superpower)." The example used is Donnie Darko. "Or make them violent criminals": Norman Bates in Psycho is the example.

"But there is also good representation." The example used is A Beautiful Mind, although OP add, "Somewhat I guess", indicating that it's still not the best representation

4: Here are some pyschotic spectrum disorders:

In an asterix to the side, OP adds that depression with pyschotic features also exists and some people with BPD also experience psychosis.

5: Symptoms of Psychosis:

In the upper right corner, OP frowns, brows furrowed nervously as three bugs crawl on them. Two spiders on their shoulder and a beetle on their hand. The bugs are a hallucination, possible tactile and/or visual. They are draw in red lineart only to indicate this.

In the lower left corner, OP shakes in place. Their eyes are closed, but thier mouth is open, downturned. They are uncomfortable. Red scribbles are drawn in their head, where their brain would be. This is likely an interpretation of the Disordered Thinking symptom. The shaking indicators around OP were also drawn in red.

6: "Delulu is the selulu!" "I'm so delusional over him!" I'm just... gonna put this here...

Underneath the title is a screenshot from the wikipedia page on delusions. It reads, "A delusion is a false [underline] fixed belief that is not amenable to change [end underline] in light of conflicting evicence. As a pathology, it is [underline] distinct [end underline] from a belief based on false or incomplete information, confabulation, dogma, illusion, hallucination, or some other misleading effects of perception, as [underline] individuals with those beliefs are able to change or readjust their beliefs [end underline] upon reviewing the evidence."

Beneath the screenshot, text reads, "Delusions are not funny, nor are they quirky. I have extremely debiltating paranoid delusions that cause me to fear the public because I'm convinced everyone is watching me or out to get me. I also struggle undressing inmy own room because I believe my posters or secret cams are watching me." An arrow points out from the paragraph to read, "The same goes for like "the voices told me to dye my hair! xD"... It's just annoying."

Drawn tired in the lower right corner, OP adds, "Your crush not reciprocating your feelings or you being obsessive over someone doesn't make you delusional... It also pains us psychotic people constantly having our issues "meme-ified" or being used for jokes... People have stopped taking me serious or laugh at me..."

7: 4 Key Facts: (source: world health organization)

OP is drawn smiling with their eyes closed. Two sparkles are drawn beside their head.

8: I Am Schizophrenic.

Nervously OP holds their hands together in front of their chest. They gaze off-screen, cheeks coloured in light gray. "And being honest, it's always scary opening up about my psychosis without being judged, made fun of, or being feared. I don't "look" like my disorder and fear not being taken seriously. I'm always afraid I'll be seen as insane if I open up about my symptoms/diagnosis."

9: "I just hope to spread a better image or view on psychotic people by showing that even artist like me can be schizo and that we are not what the media makes us out to be."

OP smiles softly at the viewer, hands and arms tucked behind their back. The blush is still evident on thier cheeks. Two arrows point at them from either side. They read, "Just a guy! Litterally funny dogdude!"

poc will make a post about how racism negatively effects them and then white people will reblog the post like "as a white person, and i mean im WHITE WHITE, like im the color of a sheet of paper im so white i burn if im in the sun for 1 millisecond and i can trick people into thinking im a dead ghost im so horrifically white, im also autistic, trans, bisexual, fat, and failed math class in middle school. i know it's important to discuss racism, but also claiming that white people cant face any oppression whatsoever is sooooo hurtful to me and other white people with similar issues </3 im aware im privileged for being white, and trust me, like i said im the whitest person you know like. i dont even like spicy food im so white. but i think it's important to talk about the oppression of EVERYONE, not just people of color ❤ lets make a better world together. this post is sooo important and i respect op sooo much for making it 🙏, but i just think it is important to discuss all the oppression white people can also face and i know this post was specifically about racism but i just felt the need to add my two cents.. also DEAR MY FELLOW WHITE PEOPLE, lets all make sure we listen to poc voices together!!! #fuck racism #just a reminder that being white and having white privilege doesnt invalidate all the other struggles i face ☹ #as a white person who has constantly faced oppression i cant imagine how difficult other people who arent white have it omg"

Please sign the petition!!!

So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced…

to 55 years.

55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.

This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246

As of March 2023, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but if you can even just spread his story, please do! It makes a difference.

his petition is still sitting at 911,000 out of a needed 1 million signatures. maybe if we start spreading the word again we could get some justice for Lakeith

Take pictures of everything in your life

For yourself, when you are happy or even sad, with your family and friends, at your work, in the café you prefer, in the parks and streets you love,

record the voice of your loved ones and your laughter together, birthdays, anniversaries, wedding parties, pictures of your favorite meal, pictures of your plants and pets, pictures of your house and every corner of it, pictures of all your beautiful memories as a child, and do not forget to document a photo album of you and your family and save it in a folder or cards.

Pictures of your certificates, and everything you are proud of,

Pictures of sunrise and sunset between your neighbors' homes.

Advice from someone who lost everything suddenly in the blink of an eye.

As you envision all of this, be grateful for these blessings.

There are people "and I'm one of them" who have lost those things in the blink of an eye. All I have left is a photo album, and I bite my fingers regretting that I didn't take more pictures.

BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR LIFE and take more pictures 🙏

Hello,,

My name is Ashraf Alanqar, and I am 30 years old. My wife, Widad Issa, and I have a one-and-a-half-year-old son named Bakr. We used to live peacefully in the Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood, in a house we built just a week before the war began. I worked as a farmer and owned a large chicken farm that provided for my family.

Beloved of my heart (Bakr)

Then the war came and destroyed everything. Our home was reduced to ashes, and our chicken farm was obliterated. We lost our home, our livelihood, and even our basic rights. We've been forced to move from place to place in northern Gaza, simply trying to survive.

My House before...

Me.. while trying to recognize what has happened..

The terror we feel as we flee from heavy bombardment is unbearable. The sound of explosions around us, the constant fear as we navigate through the rubble of destroyed homes searching for safety and food, haunts us every day. My son Bakr is constantly scared and suffers from severe malnutrition and skin diseases due to the lack of food, water, and sanitation.

Our beautiful memories.. :(

We urgently need your help. I am asking for your support to fund this campaign to move my family to a safe place, provide us with a proper home, and ensure we have enough food, water, and medical care.

Baker used to play with his dog.

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in our lives. We desperately need your support and solidarity during this difficult time. Together, we can restore hope and safety to Ashraf and his family.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.

With deepest gratitude,

Ashraf & the Family

i almost never do vent art, much less post it but man, i have been feeling bummed out recently

#literally genuinely truly people need to stop stereotyping 'ugly' nerd guys like this because it's extremely old#I can tell you right now you're more likely to get a rancid opinion out of a rich conventionally attractive dude just statistically#also stop using people's photographs to make mean jokes when you don't even fucking know the person thanks bye

Jerry Messing “the fedora guy”s GoFundMe. The face of the neck beard memes for many years and decades of how that affected his life. Disabled by covid and a coma and after his mums passing he has recently upped his donation goal after being forced to move (inability to afford rising rent prices and accommodations like a ramp)

I am writing to you today with a message full of sadness and pain, asking you not to stop supporting my family financially and to republish the donation link designated for them. My family lives in the Gaza Strip, where they face all kinds of genocide and deprivation. The lack of food, water and basic sanitary conditions make life there a nightmare.

My family no longer has a home to shelter them. Tents have become their only shelter. With the spread of diseases and the lack of access to health care, conditions became worse. Your support is our only hope in this difficult circumstance.

We ask you to be of help to us and continue to extend a helping hand, as every donation, no matter how small, contributes to saving a life. You can also help by reposting the donation link to raise awareness and expand the scope of assistance.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion.

help my extended family leave palestine.

edit: decided to add my family friend's gofundme link here too. once again. please read through the notes. remember that these are real people, who are living through this as you read. this is my family. theyre all amazing people and i love them dearly stop scrolling, and take a minute to read about their story. i cannot stress enough that, when it comes to donations, every little bit counts. if you feel guilty and powerless about the situation in palestine, and you want a way to help, here it is. please, if you have even a little bit to spare, consider donating. If you don't have anything to give, at least reblog to spread the message.
