## Help out Momo!

revolutionaryduelist:

> what-the-fuck-is-homestuck:

> > An incredible friend of mine needs help.

> > I have known Momo ( @alotofmomos ) for years, and he has been nothing but kind, supportive, and empathetic. Last year, we met for the first time, and he pushed my wheelchair when I was too weak to walk. And as he learned, being in a wheelchair is much harder than it looks.

> > After witnessing first hand the struggles that disabled people go through on a daily basis, Momo, an engineering student, decided to take action. He researched his university and made one of the most important projects for his degree entirely about accessibility. After doing extensive research and asking for my input, he created a comprehensive plan to make life better for students on his campus. This was much to the dismay of staff members who defensively insisted that bare minimum ADA compliance was more than what disabled people deserved. They told Momo that his project was useless and laughed at him.

> > But he stood his ground anyway. He risked his grade and his entire degree on what we had experienced together and on the stories I shared of my own struggles with accessibility. He risked his freaking future to try and make life better for people like me, and to assert that not enough is being done.

> > But he needs your help. Due to unfortunate circumstances, it costs Momo $20 each way to get to his new internship. $40 a day. He is trying to find alternative options, but right now has to give up food to make it to work. Not only that, he does not have enough to pay for doctors to fix some painful medical issues. A paycheck would pay for the transportation at least, but his first paycheck is in a month.

> > In short: My good friend Momo, a disability rights advocate and all around amazing friend needs help. And honestly he deserves all the help he can get. If you can, please support him!

> > Even if the transportation gets figured out, he still needs help paying for food and medicine!

> > Ko-Fi is a platform that allows people to donate money in small increments known as “coffees”.
> > Each “coffee” donation is $3. You can give as little or as many coffees as you like. Ko-Fi accepts card and PayPal!

> > Thank you so much for reading. Please help me help Momo so he can continue help others!

> > https://ko-fi.com/alotofmomos

> Heya guys, Momo/Blues is pretty much one of my oldest and best friends in the world. It would seriously mean the world to me if you could signal boost this, because he could really use help and this is pretty much all I can do for now.

> > > > he is going through a lot of financial trouble and needs help!! please help him he is an AMAZING friend and the ideal ally. he is using his career and his future to help people based off of my struggles. he battles ableism and takes ACTION!!

> > > > https://ko-fi.com/alotofmomos HELP HIM OUT!!

> > > Momo needs money for food and medical care please help https://ko-fi.com/alotofmomos

> > > he always puts others in front of himself and deserves to be the one helped for once!!!

> > Momo stays on the line with me till sunrise listening to my stories and struggles and took notes and not only listened to my problems and tried to help me but is trying to help people like me where he lives and explore how life can be made better and how change can be implemented

> > how fucking good a friend is that. how fucking good an engineer is that. does research to make effective change for others. this is the ideal situation where the people designing and crafting spaces take input from others on how to make it effective and functional for people who depend on it

> > support him and support his research

> Legally a house can be haunted and failure to disclose that the property is haunted can constitute fraudulent misrepresentation and is grounds for recession of contract. Meaning poltergeists are legally treated the same as termites or other pests.

> This sounds like a cryptid post but this is actual U.S. case law.

> The issue came up in a case where a family bought a house and later discovered it was on a ghost tour. The buyer had no way of knowing the house was haunted since that’s no something buyer’s usually ask, but the previous owner knew and should have disclosed it. Since the owner had reported paranormal activity in both local and national publications describing at length how haunted the house was court decided he couldn’t very well say there’s no such thing as ghosts now.

> This resulted in legal president that recognizes the existence of haunted houses. Also the court’s opinion is probably the most entertaining legal opinion you will ever read.

> > > Fascinating how white liberals and white supremacists get along perfectly

> > So I actually did a little digging and the date on that tweet in the image above is 6/5/17

> > But if you go and see the actual tweet the date is really 8:42 PM - 8 Nov 2016
> > Go see for yourself.

> > This is actually from when Julia Ioffe wrote a scathing article titled Scenes From the Trump Hotel which was from Election day.

> > She interviewed Spencer which I will put here so you can read and heads up he sexually assaults her.

> > > “Are you ready to concede yet?” said Richard Spencer, the young white nationalist who coined the term “alt-right,” swilling a Manhattan and doing his best to look the part of 1930s hipster in tweed slacks and a matching vest, and that crisp “fash” haircut, which combines the words for “fashion” and “fascist,” and, Spencer said, has “spread like wildfire.”

> > > “People didn’t understand the power of the white vote,” he said jubilantly.

> > > Was this a white victory? I asked him.

> > > “Totally!” he said. This, he said, was a victory over “the abstract idea of citizenship” in favor of “identity and a nation,” “because, fundamentally, to be an American is to be a white person.” (As for the people who don’t fit that category, “They’re not going anywhere.”)

> > > “And the other thing is that the cucks are dead,” he said, using the alt-right slang for establishment conservatives they despise. “They chose the wrong side and we chose the right side. We are going to displace the conservative movement, we are going to be the right. Period. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The alt-right would become professionalized and would become the new political establishment on the right, which was fine, Spencer said, because they don’t mind the political establishment as long as they’re the political establishment.

> > > Which got Spencer thinking: What role could he play in a Trump administration? “I would want to be secretary of state,” he said. His first trip would be to Syria, his second to Russia—to tell them “we’re not going to get into a war over this”—then to China. Failing that, though, Spencer would want to be minister of culture and “spend millions of dollars on Wagner.”

> > > The conversation kind of soured—“I feel like this is an inquisition”—when he refused to say whether Hitler was good or bad—“he’s an important historical figure”—or whether the Holocaust was good or bad, said that the anti-Semitic alt-right trolls haranguing me and other Jewish journalists were “just kids having fun,” and when he slid his finger down the back of my dress and said, “You have a slit here.” Surprised at my request not to touch me, he asked me to “calm down.”

> > It does not go unnoticed that there is this smearing of a Jewish woman to make her seem like she is white supremacist sympathizer.
> > Especially seeing as this same Jewish woman was harassed and sent death threats along with images of her photoshoped in Holocaust images for writing an article on Melania Trump that was not sycophantic.

> > This smearing of her is not just this there is also:

> > > Julia Ioffe found herself at the center of a Twitter firestorm over a six-year-old post in which she repeated a racial slur for black people.

> > > Ioffe, a staff writer at the Atlantic who is known for her liberal politics, initially thought her account had been hacked before realizing the 2011 tweet was actually a quote taken from someone she was interviewing, not written in her own voice.

> > What is happening here is the willful misconstruing of facts in order malign and smear a Jewish person and to make them appear as a white supremacist sympathizer.

> > This is antisemitism plain and simple.

> > Also if you look at the date on the tweet in the first post you will see that is not even how twitter does their dates and times.

> > I don’t know if OP is the one who messed with the image or they got if from somewhere else all I do know is that what we have here is antisemitism.

> > I hope that this version with the correct information spreads as fast and as far as the false antisemitic original did.

It’s about a world dominated by monstrous humanoid cannibals, and the last vestiges of mankind (Germanic Europeans) must fight to maintain their borders and slaughter those horrible creatures that have subhuman intelligence and weird-looking faces and no dicks whenever they intrude.“

> > > “The plot takes a shocking turn when the inhumans begin to act intelligently and it’s revealed that some of the heroic military officers the story follows are actually inhumans having infiltrated our society to destroy us from within. The heroic military officers must purge the inhumans while also dealing with ungrateful citizens who think their taxes should go somewhere other than the military.”

> > “And then the ultimate reveal…The Germanic heroes are actually a race imbued with superhuman power from the source of life itself, and they once ruled over other humans as literal titans. But then the other humans rebelled and started committing reverse racism on them- making them into second class citizens that wear identifying armbands and live in ghettos and internment camps instead of the other way around! The German race was forced into borders that are paltry compared to the great empire they once ruled, and the current generation has no memory of the greatness of their ancestors- the people of Ymir the Nordic frost giant! By the way, have I mentioned that the commanding officer of the good guys is named Erwin Rommel Smith?”

> Wow, Attack on Titan is literally an unironic version of the fictional Dream of the Swastika in Iron Dreams by Norman Spinrad. That book was about how if you dress nazi ideology and aesthetics in fantasy, people eat it up.
> And here it is, in real life - literal Nazi Ideology being celebrated as just fantasy. Something that was old hat and being satirised in the early 1970s.

> Truth be told, on my snk post, I should have described the whole thing with Christa/Historia. You know, the descendant of the German race’s true royal family (the lineage of Ymir the Nordic giant), who was forced to live as a commoner. The good guys depose the current house in order to install Historia as queen as per her birthright so the military would control the government and be able to carry out their plans without anyone getting in their way. I mean, I’m literally not even exaggerating.

> I don’t know how anyone can even try to deny the overtones to this series. You think something can’t be fascist propaganda just because you like it??? This is beyond walking like a duck and quacking like a duck, scientists have performed DNA profiling with polymerase chain reaction analysis and it’s a motherfucking duck.

Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and it’s not just lead! it’s coliform bacteria! it’s THMs! it’s all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and it’s only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem

> > I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children can’t stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years.

> > > > > > > > And a couple weeks ago he called me to talk about the merits of the old-style Gyrados (which he pronounces guy-rad-os sorry I can’t stop him) that has the dragon breath move, versus the new ones that don’t because Niantic made a change. And he has like 6 Gyrados because his work is by a Magikarp nest or something? HOW MANY fucking magikarp do you catch for 6 gyrados? He’s about to evolve two more. H E L P.

> > > > > > > > and he says shit like, “Learning about individualized values really radicalized my thinking.” and he means it. Before he evolves ANY pokemon he googles CP estimates and has a pokemon calculator??

> > > > > > > > This morning he called me because he finally has enough Dratini candy to evolve a fat fighting dragon and wanted to talk about which Dragonair he should evolve. (One with high CP but bad IVs, one with medium-high CP, but okay IVs, and one with the lowest CP of the 3, but A+ IVs) And at this point he’s so far beyond my skill with the game (he’s been higher-leveled than me for months now) that I don’t even know what to tell him. I literally can’t advise him.

> > > > > > > > My father is more of a pokemon master than I ever was. The other day he texted me the team rocket theme song.

> > > > > > > And then idk he forgot?? And when his account crashed after a week he did a Pikachu restart (that should have tipped me off about the impending obession tbh) and he picked Instinct again.

> > > > > > > I ain’t even mad bruh. He so clearly belongs in Instinct. He’s happy there. It’s his natural habitat. Before work he goes and meets up with some other Instinct people to take the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC. It’s super cute.

> > > > > > > My dad will be your Team Instinct dad if you need one

> > > > > > So my dad has always been in the habit of getting to work early. I don’t know wtf he used to do, but now when he gets in early, he goes to the Georgetown Cupcake gym in DC and apparently teams up with “some friends I’ve never met” to take down the gym for Team Instinct.

> > > > > > Then he goes to work and keeps the game open so he can grab Magikarp every couple minutes. Apparently his work is like ON a friggin nest.

> > > > > > He keeps his Pokemon Go habit a secret at work. Nobody knows. On his lunch break, he says, “hey I’m gonna go for a walk” and goes on a 12-pokestop loop. He makes sure to hit up the local Dratini and Pikachu nests (the presence of which is UNFAIR AF). He also take a few minutes to reinforce ‘his’ gym, by which point has been under attack a few times.

> > > > > > At work, he keeps his phone on data instead of wifi (he has unlimited data. For some godforsaken reason he went through 30GB/mo BEFORE Pokemon Go.) because that means his avatar jumps around a bit more?? He says he opens and closes the app a few times to reset it and get the GPS connection to reset and nab him a few pokemon.

> > He has started wearing yellow shoes for #TeamInstinct pride lol:

> > And he’s started wearing a pikachu tshirt. He is on season 4 of the anime. He watches EVERY EPISODE in order. I’m dying. He’s level 30, going on 31. He has over 9 gyrados now, and has enough candy for two more, but doesn’t see the point. He’s about to get his 4th dragonite. One of his dragonite has been stuck at the top of a level 10 gym for like 3 weeks now, since before he hit level 30, and he’s upset he can’t get it back to power it up.
