I took a chance moving to another country, even another continent to pursue my education because I got accepted to one of the best university in the state (Victoria) for the programme that I wanted. I graduated high school as valedictorian and scored highest across the grade on the GCE A Level exams. I had the score, all I had to figure out is how to pay for it. So I applied for many, many scholarships which I’m basically depending on and the results haven’t come out yet, I even called the uni line and they said they “didn’t have any specific dates” for the results. The thing is, the 1st instalment for my 1st semester tuition is due soon and I’m already working three different part-time jobs (the only kind you can get on a student visa here). My mother is a single-parent working back in my home country, she has to take care of my extended family since she has 6 living siblings and she’s the only one currently working a full-time job. I live with my older sister here, who just took out a loan to pay for the approximately $10,000AUD cost for her to get her permanent residency visa which allows her to get a better job, better benefits and better life here. My salary is covering my living cost, but I need to figure out a way to pay tuition before the deadline, or I can’t enrol in any classes.

I know this is asking a lot and it isn’t as dire other people’s situations, but if you can help me, even just a small amount, it will make a huge difference and be much appreciated.
Hey guys! So, I had an epiphany to do a challenge and since Valentine’s Day is coming up I thought why not use it as a theme. I’m not pretty big on Valentine’s Day myself, but I figured with Negan involved it can’t be too bad 😉 The prompts are listed below. The deadline will be March 7 2018. Please hashtag: #JDNegansTrashValentine. If you need an extension please let me know! **PS: You can write dub/con, non/con, use a ship pairing, kink preference etc. There are no limits as long as you follow the prompt theme/requirement** As of now it’s only one slot for each prompt, if more people participate I’ll add new slots / prompts ** @negans-network – Tagging my fellow writers/artists out there if you’re interested!

I hate it when people are like “if you don’t like ___ maybe you just aren’t a REAL star wars fan.” because the only prerequisite for being a star wars fan is hating star wars and everyone knows this
@ everyone who keeps reblogging this to tell me that they hate star wars but they’re not a fan: you’re not valid
“No one loves life more than we do, in a way, because we are so conscious about death. The preciousness of life standing side to side to the one place we’re all going to. Everybody in this planet boarded a train that was, final destination, death. So [in] the train, we’re gonna live, we’re gonna have beauty and love and freedom. And I think that when you eliminate one of the two sides of the ecuation, it’s a panflet. When you take in account the dark to tell the light, it’s reality.” – Guillermo del Toro
Dear Natalie Portman, Tilda Swinton, Isabelle Huppert, Penelope Cruz, Diane von Furstenberg, Wes Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, Martin Scorsese, Monica Bellucci, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Harmony Korine, Ethan Cohen, David Lynch, Harrison Ford, and all the rest of you*,
I know that before today, when Roman Polanski had only pleaded guilty to raping that 13-year-old girl in 1979, and been accused of raping that 16-year-old girl in 1986, it was like, Big deal, right? Like, just let the man LIVE! Can’t a convicted child rapist be left alone to hang out in his luxurious French hideaway and keep making movies, upon which endless praise and acclaim will be showered and heaped internationally, these days? Is it so much to ask? And can’t we all just keep working with him — and collecting those sweet, sweet Oscars — like everything is as fine and normal as it totally is?
I get it.
But now that a third accuser has come forward, do you perhaps feel a tiny nagging tug at your beautiful, sun-kissed, juice-cleansed, gold-encrusted consciences? A small, soft voice in the night, reminding you that while art and awards are v cool, so are laws and human beings and, you know, protecting children from sexual abuse?
Just give it a little thought today, maybe, as you hike Runyon Canyon with your adopted dogs, or sip your alkaline water infused with sea mist, or do some press about the prescience and timely necessity of your latest film’s themes of human resilience triumphing over evil and darkness.
Just a little.
Love, Hannah
I do not want to see that Natalie Portman video anymore, she supports these predators, she and others like her are not heroes for passionless quips while openly supporting rapists. Stop being so easily impressed.
men in hollywood, after putting on the same black suit they’ve been wearing to all events, thinking about how much they’ve contributed to the protest against sexual harassment:
