Someone has complained that I’m posting too many ‘ordinary’ cars, sorry, I got a bit over excited by the new Fiat 124 Spider and the LA Auto Show generally. Anyway hope to make up for it later today. Meanwhile here is artist Erwin Wurm’s ‘Fat Car Convertible (Porsche)‘ 2005
what are they teaching in design school nowadays geez
ok so i really wanted to avoid doing this but if this is an option i can take i guess i should. im not really one to broadcast anything bad happening and try to keep that private, but things have reached a dangerous point for me. i could say that i have struggled in an abusive parental relationship for my entire life and go into all the horrors that have been inflicted on me, but for the sake of space on your dashboard, ill just get to the point.
for the past month my dad has been restricting me to the point where i cant leave the house (i am 21 years old.) and makes it extremely hard to contact anyone. one day when he was in one of his moods, he locked my moped with a chain and shut off my phone, and wouldnt let me leave the house or call into work. i lost both of my jobs. and then theres the “punishments.” im not talking like, he shuts off my phone because i didnt do the dishes- he physically takes furniture out of my room, takes my door, lightbulbs, chargers, BLANKETS, stuffs all my clothes into trashbags and throws them outside- really extreme forms of abuse. my parents have been a source of my depression and anxiety for my entire life and i’ve tried to kill myself multiple times because i did not see a future for myself where they were not controlling my every move.
i tried to run away and hitchike to ohio, where one of my best friends lives and is well off enough to support me for a little bit until i get on my feet, but my parents somehow found me and brought me back. i was walking and hitchiking for about five days, which was a horror on its own. my dad is now threatening to take everything away again and have me work for him to pay for my “rent,” along with threatening to shut down my bank accounts, phone accounts- everything. this is an extremely destructive environment for me and always has been, but i always tried to get myself out of it with no success. as i get older i want nothing more than to be free of them.
i need about $150 for a one-way train ticket to ohio and money for food on the ~30 hour trip, where my best friend, a job, and a life that is really my own is waiting for me. if you donate anything at all or signal boost this, i will be eternally grateful.
also, as a special thank you, if you’re comfortable with leaving your name, address, and drawing request in the notes, i will send thank you cards with little doodles until i run out of stationary. i would do commissions if i could!!! thank you again!!!
this is exactly what i ive been mad about that i havent been able to explain nearly as well. the people who are the problem aren’t going to like this article
