Donation Post!

Dad's been acting up so we might need to move out sooner than we're actually ready to, plus a lot of *other* stuff has been going on. Whether it's to find a place, to eat until the kitchen is repaired (and until we can leave our room without fear), or just stuff to help deal with the stress of this nightmare situation, you can help us out here:

Hey everyone, it's Autism Acceptance Month

Meaning

Time to take down Autism Speaks

A man called David Page started this on Tiktok. His autistic son took his life, and due to that he wants to make a change, he wants to shut down the organisation Autism Speaks.

Why?

Only around ONE PERCENT of Autism Speaks' revenue goes to helping autistic people and their families.

Autism speaks supports eugenics. They want to cure or get rid of autism. Autism can't be cured, it should be accepted and accommodated.

The majority of the people working there are not autisic.

They spread misinformation and stigma that autistic people should be feared and that they ruin families.

Autism speaks silences real autistic voices

How do we shut them down?*

Call Autism Speaks' phones lines as much as you can this month and keep them busy, so that less donations go through.

Keep their website open this month to overwhelm the server.

Use the #autismspeaks on every social media for random spam, so that its harder for their content to be found.

Live stream! Post! Share other posts! Talk about why Autism Speaks is harmful! Be loud and our voices will be heard.

*I'm using the suggestions from David Page's videos

Go follow David Page!! I found him on tiktok. Share his videos on other socials.

Unfortunately, I have bad news. My disability money that I receive because of my Level 2 Autism, my main income, has not come in this month due to a bureaucratic mess-up that is going to take too long to be solved and may also not come in next month. (I am in Germany btw, and it is not just a stereotype that bureaucracy here is horrible and just... hellacious)

Coinciding with that, my parents have stopped supporting me financially thinking that the money that the state gives me now is way more than I deserve and that I am somehow living "the rich life" with that... I get this money because I cannot work a job. If you could work a job in Germany, they would absolutely make you, but they have ruled that out for me now completely. The money one does get as a severely disabled person is not more than what a non-disabled unemployed person gets (a fact that is unethical and immoral in my opinion but that as a sidenote) We have special needs, for example, I need meal replacements due to my autism which I am also working on having covered by insurance, but again, it is taking forever.

To make it through this month after having paid my rent, I will need some other financial support. I do have some of my Jellycats up for sale on my Ebay and may put up more (shipping outside of the EU is not an option for me, sorry) but I would appreciate it more if this post was shared so I might receive some emergency Ko-fi donations.

I would not be writing this here if it wasn't an emergency. This blog is about Jellycats and the autistic boy that loves them and sharing them with the world. It is making me uncomfortable to post this in my safe space which is why I will delete this post after the end of the month. But for now, I am desperate and do not know where else to turn to.

(I will continue to be posting on my blog as usual, that is not changing, although please understand that I am under a lot of stress right now and the frequency might be less this month)

Thank you for reading, for sharing and for your support, whether financial or emotional, it is greatly appreciated.

Happy Autism Acceptance Month💖

Help Me Exist Again Sale <3 An Indie Game Sale that helps me live!!!

I'm Efan, a nonbinary transfemme who's a game developer and designer! Please reblog this post if you can't buy pls!!! 💛💛💛

I'm selling all my games individually at 15% off, and a BIG bundle discount for all my paid games at $25! That's nearly a 75% discount!

​I haven't been able to pay for much for a while now, and bills are starting to heighten, especially during tax season. I have ​been stuck inside for months, avoiding nearly all pleasure costs of living. I have been living in a deficit for a while now, and I'd like to live again. 

​With the money, I'll be able to pay for therapy, pay for medications, get diagnosed for mental things and disabilities, buy a new PC, and pay off my taxes. 

There is no problem if you can't buy the bundle, but it would truly help me a ton if you did. I just wanna live again. 

If you don't wanna buy a game, you can send some help via my PayPal or Kofi linked in my Linktree below!

We are currently nearing 15%, a goal I wanna reach by Tuesday! Can we do ittt???

Again, thanks for reading this far, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Do you guys ever feel so much sudden rage at society for failing to provide the bare minimum support you needed/need to survive/thrive that you have to actually time. out. your mind for a while to calm down????

Oh, How We Laughed* is now available for pre-order!

This anthology showcases short stories, poetry and artwork made by queer and disabled creatives, and strongly features indigenous, neurodivergent and transgender voices. It was edited by Reed and Storm Editing and also features work by head editor Cameron Rutherford.

Funds raised by sales will go to the Collaborative Radical Intersectional Performance Space, Drop In Care Space and Pay The Rent who all support local communities, and to the 15 featured creators.

This anthology is an exhibition of the strong emotions that connect humanity and make us all unique. Our fear, joy, loss, exhilarating highs, depressive lows, and so much more. How we express those emotions might be different, yet we all strive for a laugh.

(*Cried, chuckled, suffered, retreated, enjoyed, blanked, masked, cringed, smiled, consumed, planned, protested, disappeared, felt, ruminated, withdrew, celebrated, raged, meditated, screamed, froze, danced, existed…)

Help me help others?

Okay, so this isn't really my usual type of post, but I recently was hired as a peer support specialist. They hired me specifically for my lived experience as a queer, trans person in the Midwest and a big part of my work will be providing resources.

I was hoping to compile a relatively exhaustive list/database of resources for a myriad of different issues and I intend to do a lot of research on my own but I was hoping you all might give me a hand by replying with some resources that have been helpful to you. They don't have to specifically be LGBTQIA related, of course, but those are especially helpful.

I'm talking about things relating to college, housing, transportation, childcare, etc. A huge part of peer support is helping people traverse barriers and I know that some of you have an experience that is valuable in that area.

If you can, please reply below with websites, hotlines, or otherwise that have been helpful to you in transitional periods of life and if you don't have anything, please consider reblogging. I plan to create some sort of organized document and when I have something composed, I'll make it available here as well. I really want to do well by my future clients and I know that with your help, I can do even better.

Thanks in advance!

Help a trans queer mixed race guy with AuDHD get away from a toxic family environment

AAAlright I really hate to do this but it seems I have no other options. I need to get away from this place. I care about my family, but we've all been through many things and it ends up with us in conflict. It's a difficult topic to talk about so I won't go into too many details, but there has been emotional neglect, name-calling, and physical abuse. Social services has been called on this household twice in my lifetime. It makes it more difficult that I am doubly neurodivergent, queer, and have suffered with mental health issues, which my parents don't understand or know how to deal with.

I can't stand being here now that I have had a taste of freedom at university, now being treated like a child again is unbearable. I can't relax here and it's taking a toll on my mental health and my studies. I am now having symptoms of PTSD and they are only getting worse. I need therapy, I need a storage unit for my things and a moving service, and I need to cover some rent.

If I am able to get out, it would greatly improve my mental health. I could strive for dreams that have been looked down upon by my family for so long. I could achieve a good mark in university, spend next summer learning to drive, maybe even purchase a car once I have a good job. It will also improve my relationship with my entire family, as I could have contact with them on my terms. The possibilities are endless once I get out - but for now I am severely limited by my circumstances.

Every single donation or share is an amazing help. Thank you so much for letting me leave this place and letting me achieve my dreams. I am so thankful to you all for taking the time to read this.

Hello, I feel bad about having to do this but I live off of social security money because I’m disabled and can’t work or drive, and recently they’ve suspended my pay due too missing paperwork, we’ve sent them the paperwork but it’s been 3 weeks since I was supposed to be paid for may, I still haven’t, I don’t know when I’ll have my next check and I have no other source of income, So if you’d like to help out a disabled neurodivergent Trans man and have the money too I would greatly appreciate a small donation, you don’t have to, even just a reblog to get this post out there would help,

I only have Ca$happ

My Ca$hTag is VojtaKR

Even just 1$ would help honestly, and thank you for taking the time to read this post, it means a lot,

… We need to replace the dishwasher. Dad didn't say how much it'd cost or how much he wants out of us, just that he wants us to contribute and we should have the money by tomorrow. So you if you can give anything to help… (Have to temporarily turn off Stripe on Ko-Fi to make sure any funds we get arrive in time, sorry!)

Hello hello!

I am Mod Vash- one of a few mods part of the system that will run this blog.

Mod Vash needs a New Car

We made this blog because we want to help boost other disabled peoples posts for aid.

Under the cut we'll include some info about ourselves, but let's get some info about the blog done first!

What we'll do:

Reblog mutual aid posts

Allow submissions for mutual aid

Allow asks for mutual aid

Reblog various posts for awareness on various disabilities

How we'll do it:

We know theres a lot of scammy posts around here, and we cant avoid all of them, but we will try our best. Generally, we'll do a quick check of the blogs- make sure theyre more then a few days old, or if theyve mentioned their disability before. If not, or if its brand new blog, its generally a scam.

We'll try to reblog around 2-3 posts a day in the que, maybe more, maybe less, depending on us and our energy levels and schedule- we are disabled too after all.

We are based in America, so if you aren't American, please include in your submission your currency and what app you prefer for payment since not all of them work internationally!

This post will likely be updated as we go, but for now thats all I can think of that isn't about us, so the rest will go under the cut!

About us!

We're a system in a disabled body- and all of us identify with the disabled label. We will not talk about our origins, nor tolerate any gate keeping or discourse.

We have POTS, brain damage, autism, and a couple other things we would like to keep private for now, thank you in advance for respecting us.

We all use he/him pronouns, and are all queer in some way.

Currently, we need a wheelchair but can't afford one due to being out of work for so long and having unexpected bills arise- giving us the idea for this blog. Realizing how much help we needed made us truly realize we could help others too by giving them a platform.

The body, and all of the members (except for one who will not be active in this blog) are all adults and are ok with submissions being a little "TMI" or "gross" since its natural with being disabled.

We'll all sign off with our names, and for those of us who have gifs of us, we might use gifs as well!

Our activity depends on our spoons, so it might not be consistent all the time. Please be patient with us.

I'm having some bad brain fog rn so I'll clean this up later but this is the general gist of it!

A black family needs your help again! (April 3rd)

I don't like on how this is the 3rd time I'm asking for help during this situation, but this is the only way I can do to help.

We have been in some progress since last time, we're currently working on gaining the ability to buy a house throughout the weeks up till now. And so far, we're waiting on a word from them telling on what're we suppose to do next.

While we're waiting for that, we do need help with keeping up with the hotel room, food and bills while also saving up for the house. Every bit helps!

Goal amount is $3,350!

$815/$3,350 (USD)

You can donate on either Paypal or Cashapp.

All boosts and donations are greatly appreciated!

Look what arrived in the mail! I got my contributor copy of Oh How We Laughed* by Buon-Cattivi Press which you can order now. It was wonderful to write and edit for this great anthology which is donating it's profits to some really good causes! If you love art, short stories and poetry by queer, disabled and neurodivergent creators, give this collection a read!

happy pride! this is my second summer without tits, third on testosterone. sometimes the enormity of the international, intergenerational, interconnected, intersecting systems of privilege, power, marginalization, and oppression that shape who i am feels overwhelming and incomprehensible. gender-affirming care saves lives, as in i was unable to do the work of figuring out who i want to be until i could exist in a body that felt like my own. gender-affirming care saves lives as in i could not imagine a way to continue forward in the body i was in.

i grew up in a world that fundamentally failed queer kids like me, where the main comfort organizations could offer was the idea that "it gets better". i've spent most of my life dissociated, a messy combination of gender and neurodiversity and cPTSD, trying to make it to the "better". and now i'm here! in adulthood, learning to feel my feelings, trying to imagine a way forward. and it's still hard and it still sucks and sometimes i want to throw up hands up say this is it!? "it gets better" and this is all there is?

i believe all people should have access to the care that i've been lucky enough to access. i recognize it's an enormous privilege that i'm able to exist comfortably as myself now, but it really shouldn't be. it's so frustrating how obvious it feels that things don't need to be this way. but im also realizing that guilt and shame and self-flagellation won't actually contribute to the systemic change necessary to extend this privilege to more people.

i am committed to building towards a world where self-determination isn't a privilege at all but the baseline. and im still learning how to do that work in a way that's sustainable and realistic.

for today, i'll let myself take pride and joy and comfort in asserting. i am queer. and i am still here.
