When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now).
I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes.
Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that.
Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.
I am a disabled artist and mother of four!!!!! We are forced to move due to unforeseen circumstances…read below.
Just as we were about to renew the lease on our home, my husband lost his one and only contract (He was freelancing…), making me the sole breadwinner of the family…. three of our four children live with us today!!!
Unfortunately, we will have to move to an extended stay by the end of this week.
We have until THURSDAY, JANUARY 31st, 2019 to raise $1,500
to cover movers, UHAUL expenses, and first month’s storage costs (All of our belongings do not fit in the new place), and half of security deposit for the new place (We are able to cover the other half.)
Any and all extra will go towards groceries and other living expenses…
You can help one of three ways!!!!
1.) DONATE:
to my husband’s paypal: http://paypal.me/LabwerxConsulting(Yes, this is his official company Paypal, the only one he has, so you can tell he is a real person!!!)
Understanding if you don’t want to give money away to strangers, you can help and receive from my eBay store, where you will find my art among other trinkets.
Those women were abusive to him and all his siblings
/\ Making Davonte Hart hug that cop for a photo op was apart of ongoing abuse. Which is why pushing your kids, especially Black children, to be boot lickers for attention is abuse as well.
theres been a spike of fascist/fascist-adjacent blogs on tumblr who pretend theyre funny and relatable for notes but when you actually browse through their content its obvious theyre vile pieces of shit but i dont think enough people know about them so im going to make a list of ones ive personally encountered
be sure to block and blacklist. most of these scumbags quickly change urls when people figure out what they stand for so i plan to update this list semi-regularly
