Good Morning Friends ☀️
I've had a rough go of it the last few weeks. All previous donations have been blessings from angels like you, helping my family stay at our motel in South Jersey.
I was hospitalized recently and unable to work or raise money to support my mom and sister.
It feels very humbling, and even a bit sad, to be asking for more shares, donations and prayers.
But we have nowhere else to turn until one of the many jobs I've applied to follows up with me.
Just like before, even reading our story is helpful.
A $1 donation, a like or share, and a prayer to whatever higher being you subscribe to would mean the entire world to us.
Much love for all the people who have donated and shared; you are all the reason one family could survive this long.

At this point, gender nonconformity is about what the person says their experience is.
If a woman with a beard or a man with lipstick and a mustache says they're gender nonconforming, then they are! If a woman with short hair or a man with long hair says they aren't, they aren't! And that's not even getting into the awesome nonbinary, abinary, genderqueer, intersex, and general genderfuckery that may both be and not be conforming.
So much of what is even considered gender conforming or gender nonconforming is based on a world of exclusion. When we start defining one's conformity with whether they fit into white cishetero perisex standards or not, we play into the idea that there's only a very narrow window of what is considered worthy of time and thought.
#gender nonconformity#gnc#queer#like. for instance a native man who keeps long hair might be considered GNC by white standards but for him it's absolutely not nonconformit#there's an aspect of white supremacy that silences everything else while saying that other culture's silence is indicative of whiteness...#...being 'correct' or 'moral' or 'neutral'#and as somebody who's trans and last i checked white i have my own thoughts from my own experiences#like how i don't consider myself to really be a GNC man. i'm just. man+#i'm a weird concoction of weird soup that tastes like a man but if it were Wrong#and i just don't see that as not conforming to manhood like it is seperate. i see it as irrevocably linked TO manhood#it is others who have excluded and exiled me from manhood because of *their* understanding of me and how i 'fit in' in cissexism#while i will never ever say i know what it's like to not be white i will say these conversations that PoC have started have been INVALUABLE#i am forever grateful to have been extended the patience and faith to listen in on the experiences of people...#...who are racialized in terms of gender and how they do/don't 'fit in' with often white supremacist views on gender/dynamics#may have made a post like this years back but. eh. arrest me officer i will not back down#i've been more and more 'gnc' as i go into my transition and i don't see it as nonconformity but as an outlet for my masculinity#which is why i'm not insecure about my crafts and creations. because it is coming from a male whether or not it's considered 'manly'#i have little to *no place* in cissexist society so why should i put any stakes into if they ~accept~ me#made this post while jamming out to skyrim's tavern OST (paused my game to write this)#why the HELL does the skyrim tavern music have to go SO HARD. i NEED to slam down BARRELS of mead while listening to this istg#i don't even LIKE honey so i haven't tried mead but. for skyrim i would.

welp… guess I’m not coming out for the next four years either :)
#personal#us elections#may I just say as a queer woman and poc but most importantly someone who missed the age cutoff to be able to vote#I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever felt more helpless than in this moment#like I’m at the age right now where I’m planning for things like moving out of my family home#That means in the next four years it’s very feasible for me to get r*ped and need my reproductive rights#It’s very feasible for me to find another woman who I want to spend my life with for which I need my right to equal marriage#And it’s very feasible for me to want to walk down the street without getting fucking shot for which I need my right to fucking live??#And just sitting through the past 9 or so hours watching my country put a man in office#Who would look at me and probably not even consider me a full human?#Or think I deserve all those rights?#A man who I don’t think is going to protect those rights?#I’m the kind of person who will never stop having faith in this country no matter what state of shittholery it’s in#Because if you look at our history we’ve had way bigger assholes than this guy and come out surviving#But I’m scared yall#I’m genuinely really scared

giving frenchie a hot boyfriend and pissing off moronic homophobic conservative viewers is not enough!! to make me forget that kripke has The Weirdest™ understanding of sibling dynamics and that frenchie/kimiko should be together. romantically. platonically. sexually. psychotically. all of the above.
#the boys#frenchie x kimiko#kimiko x frenchie#another less fun way of saying it is that#i ship a lot of queer ships that aren't canon and i expect that#and then there are a lot of straight ships where i'm like#'oh if there is even a hint of tension i know they will become canon in some fashion'#but SURPRISE SURPRISE#the only time that doesn't happen is when either character is a POC or is a person with disabilities#and then suddenly the dialogue around it is 'noooo they're too pure and good to be sullied by sexuality' and 'we need platonic rep too!!'#'they're like siblings!'#and it's so dumb#anyway yes i started s4 today

I hate to say this, but I think so many of the problems with Stranger Things (not all but a lot) could have been avoided if they had a smaller cast. It grew so much each season to the point where important characters and their storylines were getting neglected just because they have so much to focus on that it just didn't fit
#this post is about#will byers#vickie stranger things#lucas sinclair#jonathan byers#and so many more add them in the tags#like was eddie really a super necessary character??? was the russia plotline really needed???#like i dont hate eddie but they just took jonathan and steve and mushed him together#idk is this controversial???#also i just want to stress that this would not solve every problem with st *cough* racism and homophobia *cough*#(notice how a lot of the characters being pushed to the sidelines are often queer and poc)#anywayyyyy#byler#< bcus at this point the tag is more like a community and i want to hear ur guys opinions on this

“Fandom isn’t fun anymore fandom isn’t fun anymore” tbh it just feels like white racist “normies” jumped in as opposed to white racist nerds and for me personally u can feeeel it kinda but it doesn’t change much
#like yeah it’s more homophobic#but if u were a fan of a black character and didn’t stereotype them or have them revolve around a white character#Ur getting the same amount of queer content as u were before it’s whatever#like i don’t feel the need to justify my ships or whatever I got over that when I was in middle school thinking I kinda hated the way y’all#saw bismuth#like this is a very sad day for real white nerds#but for blerds it’s like. there’s 12 of u now instead of 10#like awwww u don’t like when ppl tell u to get over their bigotry :((#u don’t like when ppl say it’s not bigotry it’s just an opinion and ur taking it too serious 🥺#is it annoying when u see ur faves getting called bops or diddy or shoehorned into caretakers roles to continue to prop up the importance#of their white male counterparts ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️#how saaaaaad#and it’s very telling it took y’all this long to notice it like#Maybe perhaps deep down ur recognizing there’s so many similarities that u only clocked the behavior when they started going after u?#also complete side note to convo is that for a lot yall fandoms not fun anymore or ppl don’t let ppl have fun#is not a result of cringe culture but a result of more poc and women refusing to let y’all sideline and mischaracterize everyone who’s not#a white man anymore#Like yeah sure it’s shipping for a lot of y’all but for a lot of y’all ur mad u can’t say this girl is getting in the way of ur ship anymore#Ur mad that we’re clocking how ur bigotry irl is shaping fandom spaces and that the small things u just so happen to get wrong are related#that’s about tim stand specifically but u already know#every person who’s written a creepy Ra’s Al ghul fic#and u know what the fuck i mean by creepy#u owe an Arab person $50 and a hand written apology#and if u donated to ao3 keep the apology and send $100

What scares me most about Byler endgame is the reality of it likely coming out long after the US presidential election 2024.
#not to be us-centric#but it really does affect the world#like if we think things are bad now#i'm afraid 2025 may find us living in even scarier times#young cis white queers i'm talking to you - don't get too comfortable in this heartstopper era#don't make the grave mistake of thinking we have come so far and that things can only get better#as trans and poc queer ppl know we still have a lonnnng way to go#and even the rights you do have must be continually fought for#they can always be taken away#yes even in the 21st century#i fear we may be headed into darker times#sorry for doomposting#byler tumblr#please do whatever you need to feel safe#but just remember that we will all need to be a bit brave#and stand together#don't let infighting distract from solidarity#byler nation#stranger things#us politics#tw politics

catch me laughing in the club awkwardly because this season has a 19 year old blonde female companion from London, a space travelling left of law brunette queer boy who flirts heavily with the doctor, absolutely zero writers of colour and no mention of sensitivity readers…….and next season the new companion is a woman of colour. uh oh!
#he’s not stupid enough to do Martha again but be REAL with me. do you think this man can handle writing for a brown woman and a black man#and make it in any way genuinely tasteful. the one race he’s punched down and the other he’s basically ignored during his tenure :/#rtd seems to think because he has the lived experience of the great struggles of being queer in the 80s and onwards#which was a serious struggle and came with its issues#that he understands being a person of colour? like he wrote an episode about racism and then laughed about not needing a sensitivity reader#before he handed it off to ncuti. but it needed one because it was a stupid episode because he’s white and moreover#seems to think he understands WITHOUT actually getting any of the nuance. which makes it worse.#im just concerned to put it lightly#like chibnall’s bad habit was ‘good episode followed by a bad episode so bad you forget the good episode even existed’#but at least he got writers of colour in to make some of those episodes! he actually cared! and also fumbled real bad (nazi uniform… ://)#still. he actually gave it a pretty good shot and opened some doors behind the scenes. like the writer’s room which is just as important#and also in the scenes tbf like yaz and ryan sharing scenes as poc companions during the same run was groundbreaking#and rtd just closed them again going actually no im doctor who’s most specialist boy and we should do my run all over again#stop this man. get someone new in. he is not much better than chibnall rn like he is not batting hits#stop letting the world’s most charismatic doctor (ncuti i will get rid of regeneration to keep you. i love you. wish you had better writing)#distract you from the fact RTD is doing a ‘biggest hits’ tour rn. stop him!!!!!!! please can we have a showrunner of colour! a woman! please#rtd critical#doctor who#dw

The way some groups of fellow marginalized people will genuinely think it’s okay to imagine themselves as The Most Oppressed Ever is awful. Theories and ideas I otherwise thoroughly support will be soured for me by finding out they think their oppression is objectively “worse” than that of other marginalized groups. We can discuss how marginalized groups’ intersectional experiences are different and how they can support one another. We should not be weighing racism vs. misogyny vs. ableism vs. anything else. Looking at “if [x group] were liberated everyone would be” and “[y oppression] is the root of all evils in the world” sentiments which I have seen almost word for word.
#I understand why it’s easy to feel like that but it is Not Okay#I have met too many people who only focus on Their brand of oppression while not considering those of other people#and this DOES apply to people with intersecting marginalized identities who thing their intersection is The Worst Things Can Be For Anyone#this is something I need to watch myself for! but I do that work. some people I’ve seen have not been willing to.#consider your privileges; even if you’re very marginalized#I may be a disabled queer trans POC but I’m not Native; I’m physically abled & hearing; I’m perisex; I’m not unhoused; etc.#transphobia#racism#misogyny#ableism#transandrophobia#transmisogyny#exorsexism#mine#vent

500 angels lose their wings every time someone whitewashes hazel in a fanart or fancast
#she's a DARK SKINNED black girl from the jim crow south her race is crucial to her character and her experiences#and even if it weren't marginalized groups do not need to be erased more than they already are#don't be stupid#hazel levesque#heroes of olympus#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo hoo toa#baye.txt#i love that tumblr is such a queer space but it does not escape my notice that it is still mostly white people here#and as a queer poc i am so frustrated by stuff like this

Growing up a social chameleon and subscribing to the model minority myth of if you are what they want you to be you will be loved and believing in it wholeheartedly even unto and after death but it's only when you see the same cycle perpetuated in a child that you realize just how fucked up it is. You can't save yourself, but maybe you can save someone else
#it's about being poc#and neurodivergent#and queer#and growing up in an abusive household#and finally being able to understand from the outside looking in how bad everything was#i really need to name this wip soon#it's shouting to be written#my post#my writing
