please help a disabled nonbinary trans guy and their partner not get homeless 💜💜💜

Update: Finally some good news, but we still might get evicted.

Basically, my partner started a new project today collecting signatures for a petition. The pay is solid, and the guy behind the campaign is someone he's worked for and known for a while, and so is middle management.

The way it works is, you do a turn-in of signatures on certain days, and you get a check on the spot or via direct deposit. Some people in this field don't have bank accounts. Others are practically off the grid. And it depends on who you're working for. Some campaigns are great. A lot of them pay shit and/or are poorly funded and/or organized.

So this is the first really good news we've had in a while. It's a great gig and a great issue, but being in Florida, there's going to be fuckery afoot. So who knows exactly how long this will last, but likely it will go until July and possibly up right before the election.

Problem: we still haven't paid rent and are being threatened with eviction proceedings to begin on the 25th. We could make a lot of money between now and then, but probably not the whole $1600. So I'm trying to raise about $500-600 towards that and food.

We're going to work an event shortly. This is the first time since the pandemic started that things have felt halfway normal in terms of our prospects. If I wasn't on my period, and poised to run out of pain meds, I'd be looking forward to it. As it is, at least we're able to do something and hopefully get back on our feet.

Like I said, I'm trying to raise about $500-600. Between what little we have right now and what we can make in the next few days, that's about what we'd need to make rent and eat once or twice a day.

Thanks to anyone who can help at all. Hopefully I won't have to do this again for a while, and hopefully I can contribute to some of my friends' needs if this pans out the way I hope and think it will.

Also here's a pic of my cat, Shadow:

society demands hyperfemininity from trans women, then if we do it wrong we're mocked and belittled and if we do it right we're "reinforcing gender stereotypes"

if you're REALLY lucky the state will help you pay for a surgeon to cut open your face and re-arrange your skull so that you stop making cis people uncomfortable by existing

I think it’s really weird that the average person needs a home and a car and an education to effectively function at all in a capitalist society but those things are all such an exorbitantly high price that the average person would never ever be able to pay for them one lump sum and thus we decided that upon entering adulthood every average person would likely have to sign their life away to various powerful banks to pay for these things and everyone was just like “Ok, that seems legit and not fucked up AT ALL.” and now it’s such an accepted and normalized part of society that everyone looks at you like you’re dumb for thinking it’s weird. I just think it’s really fucking weird.

Literally this

This feels especially relevant in light of a girl and her family being killed at the hands of a Tate fanatic… it feels like the biggest gen z learning curve (especially gen z men) is driving home the fact that misogyny does actually exist and is not a myth or an excuse or a cheesy thing women harp on

Feels so necessary to add that so many gen z men are bitter w women for having it “easy”…. And it’s like??? In what way??? And their example is always that they have to approach in relationships or have to be “providers” or women get more compliments. Even if we assume all that is true (and like… it’s def not on most of these counts, bc it’s not as if men ubiquitously provide for women in the modern world), it shows such a gross lack of understanding for the inequalities women face in practically Everything else… like get serious…

Donald Trump's unprovoked trade war with Canada is hitting his adopted home state of Florida in unintended ways as visitors from north of the U.S. border are seeking warm weather elsewhere rather than their usual haunts.

Disney World reservations are down 35% this year. That's huge, unprecedented. And yeah, a lot of that is due to the cold war he declared with Canada.

BUT ALSO

  • Brazilian travel groups are a MASSIVE demographic for travel to WDW in the summer months, and non-white travelers are now kinda nervous about ICE abductions nowadays.. hm, wonder why
  • Most EU nations have issued travel advisories about visiting the US, and that's another demographic that famously loves to spend time at WDW
  • Transgender people are avoiding Florida due to restrictive bathroom laws, and guess what? Yup. LGBTQIA+ folk have traditionally loved to spend money at the parks. Not anymore!

So it's like a perfect storm of suckage for Florida tourism now, all thanks to MAGA policies. Good job, assclowns.

Is anyone else just... exhausted?

Everyone living in the USA needs to inform themselves about "crisis pregnancy centers." They're not legitimate medical facilities and typically only have a nurse on staff, if even that.

"Crisis pregnancy centers" are UNREGULATED organizations that present themselves like medical facilities and often offer medical advice and information, but they are staffed by volunteers many of whom are not medical professionals, typically funded by churches and pro-life orgs, and exist to convince people not to have abortions. They often give "patients" misinformation and lies about abortion, contraception, and pregnancy.

A "crisis pregnancy center" in Kentucky was recently in the news because a nurse who volunteered there found that trans-vaginal ultrasound probes were being sanitized using disinfectant that was both expired and totally ineffective against HPV, a common sexually transmitted infection, meaning the clinic could have given their clients STIs with their shitty unregulated sanitation practices.

My MOM visited one of these "centers" when she was pregnant with me (a planned and wanted pregnancy) because she didn't know it was fake and unregulated!

People deserve real healthcare, not lies, randos dressed up in white coats, and disease-spreading, unsterilized equipment like it's the 1700s.

IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

  • The symbol for anarchy
  • ACAB and 1312
  • The three arrows pointing down in a circle
  • Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

Oh my god thank you for telling me!

@safety-pin-punk idk if you’ve seen this yet but tagging you in case u haven’t

Hey what the fuck

NAZIS GO HOME IS A SYMBOL OF DOMESTIC TERRORISM????

we seem to be at the point where USAmerican government is just admitting that they're nazis???

American here. mostly surprised they're just being blunt about it.

I really need more men to realize hot it is for them to be a total slut for a woman. Just overwhelmed af when I kiss you. Losing your mind. Eyes rolled back and already salivating and getting ready to drool just at my kiss and maybe feeling my hand gently close around your throat. I want your thighs to reflexively spread open. Give me access to your sensitive body, I’ll take good care of it for you.
