i am irma vep

so. this is a hard post for me to write, given that this is, i think, the fifth time i’ve started trying to write it and first time i haven’t chickened out halfway through this first sentence where i admit that part.

i’ll save you all the time and energy and get what this post is about out of the way, first: i need money, badly. yeah, this is another post where a disabled, brain-damaged trans woman tells you her sob story and asks you for cash to mitigate it. shocking, i know. it’s almost like it’s hard for women like us to survive under capitalism, or something!

but here’s facts: i’m currently jobless. now, normally this would not be the end of my fucking world - i have a patreon that’s meant to help cover my basic living expenses and provide something of a cushion, and at least momentarily i have a roommate who’s being very understanding about my difficulties covering any portion of the rent. however. that roommate is already looking for new places to live. and i am not the only one in financial dire straits at the moment, and in fact it seems like virtually everyone in my social circle that i normally know i can rely on to help keep those of us less-employable queers afloat is under severe financial duress to the degree they’ve had to pull out of doing any of that for the foreseeable, and as a result - my current expected net income per month for the foreseeable future, as far as i can plan on it being, is limited to what i make on patreon: exactly $171. and right when i have medical debts incurred from veterinary intervention to save my cat’s life that i need to pay off monthly or start incurring severe interest on, too! ain’t life grand? i don’t know when, or even if, i’ll be able to change this state of affairs; in an ideal world, i’d be able to claim self-employment and have it be true. we do not live in an ideal world, so my best shot at that is asking for you to support my patreon or buy my work off itch.

in fact, i am asking, just short of begging, for you to do one or both of these things before any other option. it’s not that i don’t need immediate financial aid, because i do. but more than that: i need to fucking survive, bitch. i need to reliably have enough money to keep a roof over my head and food in my mouth and if i can accomplish both of those things i can also do the other, fun things that people like to get from me, like long, thoughtful critiques of this piece of art or that piece of media or any number of other things that i am compelled by my demons to produce awhile. you may notice some of that’s dried up recently, and part of that’s panic-induced brain spiral shutdown in effect. it is, in fact, easier to make art, criticism included, when you’re not worrying whether buying a soda now means risking overdrafting on your cell phone bill later.

it’s here where i wish i had hustle. i’d love to be one of those pledge allegiance to the grind types that you know only gets better the hungrier i am, give you something to look forward to as an earn on your investment in me and my future; unfortunately, i’m just not one of those people. hunger just makes me hungry, it doesn’t make me more capable.

i won’t make any promises i can’t keep. but if you give me money, especially if you give me money i can consistently count on being there when i need it and enough of it i don’t need to worry about what i’m gonna eat or where i’m gonna stay, there will be work made off the back of that financial security. and if you like any of the work i’ve done to date, both as a media critic and as a fiction writer, i can promise you it’ll meet your expectations.

thanks for your time.

After multiple failed attempts, The Ishinomori Tokusatsu classic Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine has at last been fully subbed; courtesy of GEO9875! All 52 episodes of the 11th Toei Fushigi Comedy Series entry plus its series preview are all here!

Between both it being an inspiration for Sailor Moon and it being far better-known to Tokusatsu fans than the other Fushigi Comedy series due to Poitrine’s appearance in Wizard X Fourze, I know this is one that people have waited a long time to see. So if you’re down for a wacky comical proto-magical girl series, give it a shot!

Have you lost a family member and felt the pain of regret and loss?! 😭

I hope you don’t; for me this is our reality. Every day we lose someone we love 💔😔

Last year I lost my uncle and his entire family in a missile attack on his displacement site in Rafah, and Al Jazeera YouTube reported.


Today, I am in pain as I miss the dearest to my heart, my father, who suffered from a stroke that caused him quadriplegia. He could not cope with the catastrophic life as we lived in a tent that was like a grave. His weak body was exposed to malnutrition as a result of not providing the necessary food for his condition, and the severe cold caused him to have a heart attack that led to his immediate death.

I wake up terrified every night. I check on my family, whom I fear will die of cold 🥶😰

And it was not limited to this, but our tent that shelters my family, children, and my brother Samer, who suffers from a chronic illness, was flooded and swept away under the dirt as a result of the heavy rains. Our tent has become worn out and does not protect us from the winds and rain ⛈️⛺

Ghada’s campaign on GoFundMe has had it’s transfers paused without cause. She relies greatly on donations to survive and now she is in desperate need of support. These are her words. Please donate and share.

Hello, I’m Ghada Mhasen, 20 years old, mother of a child born in war. She married shortly before the war and became pregnant a month before the war. The war came and killed my joy with my pregnancy and marriage, as we were forced to leave our house and flee.

I left my belongings and things behind. I couldn’t take anything. It was a difficult period with great difficulty. We found a tent to shelter my husband and me, because we had nothing.

No one helped us. We tried to manage our affairs with the simplest and least things, but we also had to flee again, as we fled to Rafah. I heard the news of my house bombing and it was shocking news for me because it was all we had.

My condition deteriorated and I was afraid for my unborn baby. Time passed and we tried to manage our affairs, but we almost died of hunger and almost lost my child, but thank God he remained fine. We continued to be displaced and our condition worsened.

My husband and I were very tired until we visited Khan Yunis for the last time. It’s time for me to have children and be born in a tent, a contaminated tent. There was no medical supplies. My condition was critical, but thanks to God, my child and I survived.

Now I can’t provide for his basic needs. We put below zero. I have now resorted to creating a Chuffed account to ask for help from you. Please help me, please. We need a tent to accommodate us from the winter and the needs of my child. We need food and drink. We need medicine.

My husband worked hard to provide the simplest things for us, but while he was working, a wall fell on him and broke his foot.

Now there’s no way to help us live except for this donation link.

Please save us. Please, every donation is important. It would have saved us from war, hunger and cold. We are not in one war. We are in three wars: the war of Zionism, the war of hunger and the war of cold. I ask you to save us. Every donation, up to $20, will save us from these wars. I am now living in a cloth that covers four sides without a roof. If winter really comes, we will die. Save us.

Thank God, now after the end of the war, we are still living a very difficult life. I still can’t provide for my child’s needs or provide any of our needs from eating and drinking, even water with difficulty, we bring it. We always wait for any help to come to us, but unfortunately, my child does not come, he is exposed to a lot of infections because of the bad Pampers that we use for. I just want to provide what is necessary. I want to ensure a good life for him most of the time. It’s rainy, uninhabitable tent. We always sink. I hope you to help us if in $50, please sympathize with us and my child. I trust you and thank you.

Help Ghada and her family rebuild their lives

(remaking because my post lost r/traction)

Okay so my roommate has now threatened multiple times to stop paying rent and tell the landlord there’s people living here who aren’t on the lease as well as several other behaviours that have made her increasingly impossible to live with she’s the only one who’s actually on the lease and I think it’s time for me to gtfo. Trying to get rent paid and help the remaining people trying to live there keep the lights on. I dont really know where I can go but I’m crashing at a friend’s place rn. Asking for $600 to help remaining roommates out and square away bills and whatnot. Anything helps.

Please help if you can I’ve started moving my stuff into a friend’s attic because my current roommates have started being really agro to me and really want me to move out because they’ve found someone they want to take my room to but I still haven’t found a place. The situation is really bad, I don’t know these people very well but they’ve been acting really fucking weird and going in my room. I’m pretty convinced one of them ruined my PC too

($90/600)

Tbh I just really need to buy cigarettes today. I’m so exhausted, couch surfing is really getting to me and I just want to go smoke. Please like that would honestly make so much of a difference

($300/600) thank you so much

I’ve officially been forced out of the best home I’ve ever known, the new roommates out all my stuff outside without telling me even tho the plan was to stay another month. Had to have a pretty heated confrontation between my friends and them. I’m staying in a friend’s attic now. Would still appreciate any help
