It seems that the link for the new PayPal account her boyfriend set up doesn’t work if you try to post it in a text post. Go to this post on her tumblr for a working link.

Again, this is for a young woman who needs funding assistance for an abortion and couldn’t get the money from PayPal that was previously donated due to her age. Her boyfriend set up a new PayPal for donations.

Please reblog this.

Please donate if you can.

Love,

Rabble

Addendum: please reblog.

I’m refunding everyone’s money as fast as I can but I have the abortion scheduled for next Monday so I need the money.. I’m going to post this again. Please reblog or give anything you can. Me and my boyfriend have been seeing each other for about a year now and I recently found out I’m pregnant.. It was the scariest thing of my life.. I was paralyzed with fear. I wish I had the means to keep the baby but I just don’t.. We aren’t ready to be parents and adoption would mean my abusive dad finding out. I fear for both my life and my boyfriends if this were to happen. So we decided together the only option is to abort the pregnancy. I’m so scared and lost. I have cried for nights about this, don’t think I’m heartless. Please understand, and help me. The link is on my tumblr. I just don’t have the money.. The abortion will be $500.. There is no funding in my state thanks to Scott walker. Donate $1 and help me out, I will forever be in gratitude. I love you all.

Okay guys the new link is on my tumblr! I love each one of you so much (:

Because she wasn’t 18, she couldn’t have a paypal account, apparently. The new account to donate to is under her boyfriend’s information. Anything you can do helps, and, of course, please signal boost. 

Hi there, paypal! You fucking SUCK. 

Reposting and redonating.

signalboosting, hope you recover quickly from all this. shit sucks, sister.

You are a person with bipolar disorder.

You’re a person with schizophrenia.

You’re a person with OCD.

You’re a person who is depressed.

You’re a person with psychosis.

You’re a person with a mental illness.

Your illness doesn’t define you.

You are your own person as much as anyone else is.

This is really fucking important to remember. I rarely do though.

Um hi, actually I really don’t like being told how to refer to MYSELF. Seriously… fuck off anyone who thinks it’s appropriate to tell someone that they NEED to use person-first language WHEN REFERRING TO THEMSELVES. Ugh.

These kinds of “corrections” are always semantically really interesting to me.

Look at this: if someone chooses to call themselves a “male person” instead of a “person with maleness,” no one says they’re doing so out of self-hate. If someone self-identifies as an “adult” instead of a “person with adultness,” it’s not because they don’t think they get to be their own person. And if I call myself “depressed” or “a mentally ill person,” the ONLY people who would tell me that I’m necessarily “defining” myself by my illness are the people who think this illness is something that actively negates the rest of my personhood.

What if I want to define myself by my disorder?  What if doing so makes me feel like part of a community and thus less alone?  Do people like OP still get to come in and tell me how to talk about myself, to think about myself?

No.

The answer is no.

#You can tell me how to talk about you #But you cannot tell me how to talk about myself as long as I am not hurting other people or appropriating anything with the ways I identify

I am damn well not a ~person with a mental illness~. I’m a crazy girl. I get to pick what words I want to use for me, thanks. These traits are not as separable as you think they are. You can’t take away the crazy and leave me behind - there’d be nothing left. It doesn’t work that way.
