Help me survive

Hi, sorry for going AWOL, I attempted to end it all about a week ago. This caused my partners to reach out and finally get me medical care. This was not cheap. I still have not found employment. Plus I’ve come down with a head cold.

I need help affording medication, another drs appointment and groceries. I’m out of things like body wash and face wash, I’m running low on toothpaste and shampoo.

I sell custom nude pictures and videos, when I feel better I do plan on starting up my fansly. I just need help, badly.

I like when people like a character so way too much that it transcends even self shipping or kinning and becomes more of a patron saint that you pray to type of deal

"patron saint" stop using catholic figures in a blasphemous way! it's disrespectful to catholics.

youve made me very happy by saying this

you...enjoy being disrespectful to catholics?

As always, disabled people bear the brunt of the injustice during crises.

This is why I'm begging you to spare anything you can for @noor-yashour who is fundraising for her disabled son, Muhammad, 4 years of age. He was receiving physical therapy in order to be able to walk but with his treatment on hold during the genocide, his condition is rapidly deteriorating.

LOW ON FUNDS.

You will misunderstand the economic history of white supremacy in America if you’re under the impression that convict labor (the “except as punishment for a crime” bit of the 13th Amendment) was how the plantation economy of the South continued after the official abolition of slavery. It mainly wasn’t. Convict labor was always only a relatively small sector of the Southern economy. 

The vast majority of freed slaves became sharecroppers and tenant farmers on white-owned land. This was the real basis of the continuation of the slave-based Southern agrarian economy. And though many of the most egregious elements of slavery were now mostly gone (the whip, the overseers, the legal inability to leave), the basic slave-plantation economy was still intact as these black farm laborers now basically worked for the same “wages” as they had as slaves. Landowners would sell a few basic living essentials like food, clothing, and heating oil to the laborers on credit, and at harvest time, the sharecroppers’ or tenant farmers’ “earnings” from their crop would be used to pay off their debt to the landowner, usually leaving them at zero, or even still in the red, indebted to the landowner. From a financial standpoint, this was hardly any different than slaves working and receiving zero wages besides those same basic living essentials from the slave master.

Forced convict labor existed in all of this, and was used to keep many black people involved in more obvious slavery (complete with the chains, the overseers, and even the whip), but the convict-leasing system and the state-run plantations run by prison labor did not constitute the majority of the Southern economy, neither in terms of the percentage of the population involved nor in economic output.

To this day, prison labor in the US only constitutes a small fraction of the economy, and is not in any way profitable. The companies that use prison labor are able to profit because they don’t have to pay any of the living costs of the prisoners, nor the costs of incarcerating them, as the state pays for all that. The amount of money the state has to spend incarcerating people dwarfs the amount of revenue there is to be gained from exploiting prison labor. It is generally a net loss for the overall economy. Even in cases where the state saves money by using cheap prison labor to replace expensive free labor (like California’s firefighters), this is simply them attempting to recoup some of the cost they spend incarcerating those workers in the first place. Whether the state uses prisoners as firefighters or not, it costs them the same amount of money to lock those people up, it’s a sunk cost. So they figure they might as well try to save some money on their fire-fighting budget by employing prisoners at $2 an hour instead of free labor at $40/hr.

Prison labor cannot in any way be described as the basis of the US economy, and it cannot grow to become one either. It is unproductive. Incarceration loses more revenue than it generates. The prison-industrial complex is a parasitic tumor on the economy. It does not constitute the economic logic of white supremacy. The US carceral system needs to be understood as an apparatus of state terror, not of economic production. Its purpose is to discipline and intimidate, not to produce. Its purpose in the structure of white supremacy in America is not for the exploitation of black labor. If that were its purpose, it does so incredibly inefficiently, spending more money than it earns. Its purpose in the structure of white supremacy is for terrorizing and disciplining the black population, breaking urban black political power, and strengthening rural political representation. 

Please help Monis and his family

I know you see a lot of fundraisers on your dash, and I don't have a magic wand to wave to ask for your help. I know there are so many other families that need help, but Monis https://www.tumblr.com/monis2family/ and his family really need yours right now.Monis and his family have been through so much over the past year: the destruction of their home, the loss of innumerable treasured possessions, constant relocations throughout the Gaza Strip, the ever-present risk of death in a bombing, and constant extortion by the merchants.

Monis is struggling with cancer, and needs medicine that costs $100 every three days. To make things worse, their family is hungry, and needs money for flour. I don't need to tell you how expensive Gaza is right now, and the money you've raised for them already is barely able to keep them going. Any amount you give will help get them the medicine, food, and shelter they need.

Even $10 could help keep a Gazan family warm, safe, and fed during this cruel winter. Every little bit counts. Please, share this post and donate if you can.

monis and his family desperately need your help to evacuate their current location. please donate if you can.

feels nice just to be wanted. even if it is for murder

it's MISS information...and we're supposed to be against her influence on the internet...what's wrong with women having opinions huh?

Idk what customer needs to hear this but you're not funny

I'll be real, at this point I'm not sure a transgender day of visibility is something we need. I think "not being visible enough" is the opposite of the problem we have. in fact, if you can believe it, I would largely like to be less visible than I currently am, as an out trans woman

Seeing people in the tags saying “It was made for transmascs” and that’s strictly not true.

The event was made by a trans woman so that we had a day to celebrate being transgender that did not revolve around death and mourning.

This is not to say we cannot have complicated feelings around it or even dislike it, but please actually look into why this day was creates before completely disparaging it.
