this is like Katrina all over again and I’m scared as fuck
for whatever reason this isn’t on the news, but Louisiana is in a state of emergency. it has been raining for 4 days straight and we are trapped in Baton Rouge.
All the highways leading out are flooded.
The Amite levee has broken and the water is rising.
At least 3 dead from drowning.
People’s houses are completely underwater and we are being told to evacuate.
There is nowhere to go.
People are traversing through the streets in boats.
If you’re the praying kind, please. Please pray.I’m so afraid.
Throwing in the latest news updates:
If you need help: The Red Cross provides services for locating open shelters & connecting with loved ones during a crisis. Find them here.
If you’d like to help:
The Red Cross - On the dropdown menu under “use my donation to support” there should be an option to earmark specifically for Louisiana disaster relief.
United Way of Southeastern Louisiana
And while it’s less urgent, it is very near my heart: The Lousiana School for Math, Science & The Arts, a public residential high school, was moving in its students during the flooding. Many of them arrived with nothing. They are accepting donations to purchase clothing & dorm supplies here. Be sure to mark your donation as ‘student enrichment fund.’

I can’t believe how many bitchasses are crying in the notes on this post just because this girl who’s undocumented dared to excel
YAAAAS QUEEN
People on social media were so outraged by this post that they actually reported her to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and filed complaints to the CVS she worked at (x)(x). Luckily, she has a deportation deferral from DACA, so it does not seem like she is at risk of being deported. However, she is receiving all sorts of online threats and had to deactivate her Twitter account. She said, “ I didn’t think it would [get so much attention] tbh and it’s kinda scary and I want it to stop.” Just another clear example of hatred against Latinos and immigrants.
i don’t think they would have called immigration on a Canadian immigrant who posted this. so i don’t think the “and” is appropriate. this happened because she’s a Latinx immigrant.
You right.

So here’s my foots. These angry bastards are in constant pains, and my current ortho doc says there’s nothing much he can do for me. I wear a surgical boot on my left foot daily, but the pain persists. I’m allergic to aspirin, ibuprofen & naproxen (Aleve), meaning my pain relief options are Tylenol or a prescribed narcotic.
I pay a copay per ortho visit, just to be told that I need to keep my boot on. Hell, methinks my ortho doc has paid off some bills because of me. I ended up in the ER on morphine after closing at my retail gig because I ended up standing for six hours. My ortho doc AND my primary care doc have told me to quit. My biweekly paycheck there is gone after copays. Not really worth it, but I’m broke.
I’m on my second Social Security Disability appeal now. They keep saying I can find sold work because of my education. I’ve applied for over 300 jobs this summer alone. Trust me, I’m trying.
Fortunately, I’m an Uber driver now..but here lies my problem: when my gas runs out, no more driving. 😞 Also, I have a car note that must be paid ASAP or I lose my only stream of income.
I’m trying to raise loot via PayPal to pay bills until I get a solid job. I want to quit my retail gig so I won’t further destroy my feet. They only give me 2 days weekly, which my medical bill collectors say is enough to pay them (trust me, it ain’t).
Please consider giving what you can so I can get this stress ouff of my mind, spirit and feet. My link is PayPal.me/EarthWindFire82.
I have to pay so much, fam. I’m so stressed out that I can’t sleep even on meds for my depression & anxiety.
I need help, badly.
Thanks
Tam
