“Ever since I was twelve years old, my mom wanted to bring us to America. She said we’d be able to reach our goals faster. At first she came alone. In Peru she had a nice government job, but here she mopped floors and washed cars. It took forever to get our papers because she wanted to bring us over legally. There were so many times she told me to get read, but then it fell through. I started to think it would never happen. But then one year ago she called me and said it was time. I left my whole life behind. That first winter was so depressing. I had to break up with my boyfriend. I didn’t know anyone here. My English was suck. I had my own bedroom in Peru, but here I had to share a room with three people. I spent so much time crying. I watched a lot of anime. Even my cat wouldn’t play with me because she’s not very friendly. But finally in March I found a job at a restaurant, and things began to turn around. My coworkers became like family. My manager Alizee is the most amazing person I’ve ever met. And the guys in the kitchen help me with my English. There’s a gym nearby, and after work I’ve been taking jiu-jitsu classes. It’s helped me a lot. There’s one position called guard, and as long as you can keep your guard up, you’ll be alright. I feel like I’m finally in control. This morning I paid for a whole semester of classes. Last year was about surviving. But this year I have goals. The first one is to get better at jiu-jitsu.“
Over the past year I’ve had the honour of working with Drastic Games as a concept artist for their debut game: Soundfall! It’s a musical adventure game where sound plays a key role in procedurally warping the world around you, and weaving as a motif throughout all the designs.

@felitomkinson has been hacked and both her password and e-mail have been changed by the hacker, so she’s completely locked out of her own account and waiting on @staff / @support to get back to her on re-gaining access.
none of those pornbot links were posted by her. the whole pornbot problem has gotten completely out of control, and @staff needs to get on it.
feli is an artist and has been on tumblr since 2013, and much of her livelihood depends on commissioners from tumblr. it’s crucial that she regains access to her account, and being locked out of it is a huge hit.
please signal boost.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST!!! I’ve known Feli since the beginning she doesnt deserve this tf.. she’s one of the best people I know on this hellsite and an amazing artist!!

A version for tumblr that can be read without opening a new tab, since plenty of people would scroll past this story otherwise.
The bravest woman on Earth.
I love her. Forever reblog.
I have the utmost respect for this woman.
please reblog. reblog the way you would reblog a picture of a hot singer, a pretty girl, a tasty meal or some nice stationary. Because this will not make your blog ‘less aesthetic’ or anything. This is important, far more important than anything I’ve mentioned before.
