Theres a lot of ambient noise living in a city that im numb to like trains, planes,helicopters, sirens, shouting ect. But I can't hear gun shots without wondering why. like what lead to someone unloading a clip into another person, what other options for conflict resolution were available that got clouded by emotion in the heat of the moment. Was it personal, about money, survival? Theres so many different factors that go into someone being in a situation where they're on either side of the gun and theres a sense of mourning on both sides. One life lost to death and the other lost to our failure of a justice system
#theres just so many different social#economic and environmental factors that culminate in horrific events where no individual is a solely good or evil actor#just going off the incredibly limited information of just hearing shots makes my mind run wild#its weird being desensitized in a way but not able to ignore it like the train down the street#also i haven't used tumblr in so long i forgot commas separate tags 🙄

TW: Sexual Assault
A couple months ago I was sexually assaulted. I’m better and am in the process of undergoing therapy to understand and work though that trauma. This bill is basically for the rape kit and the subsequent STI treatment and testing I don’t have insurance. I went to the hospital to ensure my safety. I am not currently pressing charges, I just would really like to move on and could really use some help in paying this bill. If you’re in not in a position to donate, I understand times are hard for everyone but I ask that your reblog so that someone who is in a postion to donate may have the opportunity to. My ask box is open, if anyone living in the Bay Area has an resources of sexual assault survivors such as free or reduced cost couseling PLEASE let me know. Thank you all so much.

Want to buy hardcover books to read and put on a shelf for my kids to read someday.
Want to have candies in bowls for people who visit.
Want to be able to take my young siblings and cousins to a movie and let them get the big popcorn they won’t finish, because there’s magic in just having it.
Want to have a linen closet or at least a linen shelf.
Want to go see live local theater several times a year.
Want to have a bottle of wine or champagne in the house for when I suddenly need to celebrate.
Want to have a kitchen with basic baking supplies so I can bake bread on the weekend, and pies for special occasions.
I just want to be comfy.

Help two homeless black transmen out
Hey y’all I’m Stephen ((left in the bottom pic)18 he/him) and this is my husband Elijah(right)19 he/him they/them) and as of December 2nd we were kicked out of his abusive mother’s household. I had been living with him and his family since September after being kicked out of my transphobic grandmother’s home, and from that point me and him had both worked hard to find and maintain jobs and attend school whilewe saved enough for our own place. His mother was extremely mentally/emotionally and financially abusive. She withheld his money that she owed and constantly raised the rent that we were both paying. Despite her collectively getting 400$ a month from the both of us, free labor in the form of child care for his younger sibling, forcing Eli to do all of her schoolwork for HER own bachelors degree, and him and I being the only ones to buy groceries and toiletries for the house as well as cook the majority of meals for the family of 5 living the apartment, she still kicked us out. From weeks prior she had been threatening to kick us out if we didn’t obey her and bend to her will, she has untreated Bipolar Disorder and has refused all attempts of therapy Eli had begged her to take.
She was extremely manipulative, controlling and extremely paranoid that anyone who told her no or asserted any agency for them self was her “ enemy “. She is also violently trasphobic and would constantly misgender me behind my back to my husband under the guise of it being “ impossible for me to be homophobic[read: transphobic because her dumbass can’t differentiate the two] because I was there for Eli when he transitioned “ which is a boldface lie ( she tried to subject him to conversion therapy when he first came out ).
Even if she were to take us back in (which is HIGHLY unlikely) the environment in which we both lived in was too toxic and unstable to stay in much longer
Eli suffered major mental breakdowns, psychotic episodes and suicidal thoughts and ideations while living with her ( as did I but to a lesser extent )
As of December 3rd we’ve been living in a DHS adults families without children assessment shelter facility: here’s our room.
The accomandtions we were provided were minimal at best ( one roll of toilet paper between the two of us, two moth bitten ‘comforters’ and thin white sheets, two small bars of facial soap. ) We can’t comfortably use the shower faucalities on site seeing that we are both the youngest and only trans occupiants. Even if we did decide to take the risk of showering, the showers are broken and won’t be repaired for some time.
Safety is a major issue as our lock is currently BROKEN ( despite asking for it to be fixed for three days ) and we live next to an violent domestic abusive couple that the faculity’s security refuses to deal with. Fights are commonplace as most of the other occupants are hostile at best.
Not only is safety an issue but we are responsible for providing our own food ( all food is provided is frozen and inedible ) and our own transportation. We have currently been eating one meal a day as a result. My partner has lost weight as a result of our stay. We have trying our best but given that we have taken work and school to figure out housing and fulfill the requirements necessary for our housing and benefits application ( attending appointments that take an average of 6 hours a time ) we have been unable to work at our minimum wage and seasonal jobs and been dependent on our non existent savings
As of last night 12/14/18 we were found ineligible for a permentant shelter transfer due to the social service investigators failing to preform a proper investigation of our prior housing. Because of this, we have to start the process over again and stay in this unsafe, hostile environment for another 10 days. We will have to go through the same proceedings again and reaply and start the process over.
My partner was laid off from work from not being able to attend recently, and now I’m the sole provider for our family. I get paid on a bi-weekly basis and hardly make enough to keep us afloat. Even so, I won’t be paid for another two weeks. We’re asking for help and assistance getting through the week, covering food and transportation costs for our appointments, amenities and toiletries, and various fees that apply to the application process, (documentation requests, printing at the public library, doctors visit copays, etc.)
Here’s our cashapps and my venmo
Even if you can’t donate sharing this post will greatly help our chances of recieving help. Thank you for reading ❤️❤️❤️

it worries me so much that there’s been this (mostly unintentional) culture built up around coming out, to where young lgbt kids are putting themselves in danger at school and at home because they don’t want to “live a lie.” i just want to say, i came out when i was 15 and it created a lot of difficulties in my life that i could have avoided by waiting until i was older. it isolated me socially, it exposed me to homophobia from my parents, my family, my teachers, and my classmates at the most important developmental stages of my own confidence and sense of self… closeted people are not living a lie. closeted people are surviving. don’t let anyone pressure you to come out before you’re ready. don’t put yourself at risk when you don’t have to.

I just remembered this one time at a friend's birthday party (middle/high school kids) and this girl was going off about how much it pissed her off how people say "being gay isn't a choice" because according to her ...she chose to be gay like...okay....
#wonder what happened with that#i understand that some people like cynthia Nixon who are bi but choose to only act on their attraction to one gender#but this bitch was saying she just decided to be gay one day and that was that on that
