Over the last couple of years, I've been paying off some emergency dental work that I needed to get done, and I have about $1400 left to pay. In another couple of weeks, I have an appointment to get wisdom teeth removed, which I don't yet know the cost of.

A week ago, I was victim to a theft that took the majority of my savings. I really hate asking this, but I'm hoping to get some help with paying off my dental work, because I'm now in a much more precarious position. If you'd like to help, you can through my ko-fi, and I'm willing to give my Venmo (though it has my deadname on it). I'm willing to do some writings for anyone that helps out (and not just the smut that I normally do).

$0/$1400

The funniest thing about biphobia is that when it's directed towards men it's just homophobia and when it's directed towards women it's just misogyny. But the woke kind so it's actually okay

help an nb and trans little sister escape TX

i haven't wanted to make a donations post for myself for the past months no matter how dire things got, considering so many other fundraisers are much more pressing, but my situation has gotten dire. i was able to leave an abusive relationship with a man who was threatening suicide on a regular basis and then cyberstalking me, but i ended up losing transportation, my job, and my housing in the process, and ultimately had to move back into a toxic and dangerous household (as in, someone pulled a gun on me to prove a point within the last week) back in Texas. as many of you know, TX has now been declared a no-travel state for trans people, and having grown up here and been a youth activist during Trump's election back when i was in high school, the local Republican Christian transphobes and homophobes know me by name and face, and my family is either unable or unwilling to give me rides to work, even assuming i can find a legitimate job. to make matters worse, my little sister is a trans woman and lives only a few hours away from Odessa, where there has been a $10,000 bounty offered for any trans people caught using the bathroom.

i desperately need to begin to save money to move; i have several possible safe places offered in North America, but with no car of my own and very limited funds, i have few options. i even had to borrow money from someone to get my old bank account out of overdraft because i couldn't get anyone to help me open a new account. i'm hoping that i can also find a safe home for my three cats, maybe even bring one or several of them with me wherever i go, but for now i have to start saving money for the eventuality that me and my younger sister have to flee within the next few months.

i'm going to try and set up an Etsy store for additional income while i try to find a job, but in the meantime, any donations or purchases of a tarot reading, or simply sharing this post as widely as possible, could be a literal lifesaver.

Comrades of Tumblr, I have a myriad of Gaza fundraisers to share, and have been in a thread that will be the pinned message on my profile until further notice.

Right now, I would like to highlight a GoFundMe sponsored by Victoria Beauchamp for Aya Mahmoud and her family. Her situation is urgent, having sent me heartbreaking messages that she alone has 8 people to feed.

You can find her account here: @ayoosh-gaza02

The prices of food in occupied Palestine and the Gaza open-air concentration camp have spiked drastically since the genocide swung to full power in October 2023. A year has passed and Gaza has yet to be freed.

I have nothing left to give right now, but please, if you have anything to give, please direct your funds to here:

Please, even if you can't donate anything, make sure to reblog this post as well. I don't give a shit about the notes, but I do care about more eyes seeing Mahmoud so that this post can pass through more hands that can help.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

Please Help

Help my family in Gaza

Winter came and the suffering increased A piece of cloth that does not protect us from the rain.

We woke up from sleep in the terrifying winter, and our clothes, our bedding, and the tent in which we sheltered were drowned, and the flour that we obtained through great suffering was drowned, so we ask for support, assistance, and dissemination.

thank you for your kindness and generosity in our time of need .♥️🇵🇸

The campaign was documented by @90-ghost.

I love microwaves. I love that I can put a raw potato inside and push a button labelled "potato" and some time later it will beep and there will be a baked potato in there.

one of my fav AI interior tells is when there's stuff that's not by any means impossible but is just like, not something a human being would ever do.

for example: bowl of lemons on the stove

there's also a lot of images w weird little loft bed set ups and occasionally you'll get one where the AI has got very confused about how stairs work:

[theother-will-grayson]

lately facebook has decided that what i want to see is AI generated interiors

oh there's so much going on here. the inconsistent views out the window. the headless snowman. the fucking, burn your house down fire pit. its snowing indoors. love it.

enchanting space age laundry room

this one is actually pretty convincing, i was staring at it like hmm based on the context i'm sure this must be AI but everything seems to be in order. & then i noticed that the curtain isn't over the window dljghfdgj

what the fuck is going on lower right. looking at it makes my brain hurt. is that meant to be a stove? HUH???

some kind of amorphous silver object outside the window

ah yes my favourite kitchen fixture, The Orb

We're sick and tired of voting discourse. I'm sick and tired of voting discourse. So this is going to be the last thing I say, for all of 2024, about "voting discourse":

No, the Democrats won't save us; no, voting is not a substitute for direct action. But not voting makes direct action harder. Repeat that to yourself until you're not going to forget it. Not voting makes direct action harder. Not voting makes direct action harder.

What kind of direct action do you care about? Copwatching? Filming the police? The Arizona legislature tried its hardest to outlaw that. While controlled by Republicans. In case you couldn't guess. (The judge that overturned that law was an Obama appointee.)

Donating to bail funds? Georgia's Republican legislature effectively outlawed said bail funds, barring a temporary court injunction (issued by a Biden appointee). The U.S. House has been angling towards similar moves against bail funds, which have so far not reached the Senate.

Do you care about protesting? If you want to minimize your chance of getting jailed for it — not completely eliminate, but minimize — then you have to pay attention to your county prosecutor election. Care about harm reduction via needle exchanges, and test strips for drug users? You have to care about your city council. I'm genuinely sorry about that one, because I hate the struggle of finding information on local candidates too — but you have to, I have to, we all have to.

Yes, of course it's naive to pretend voting will fix all our problems. Of course it's naive to think Democrats are our best friends. But you know what else is naive? Mumbling some excuse of "direct action is better" when people ask why you're not voting, and then not thinking at all about how election outcomes will affect the direct action you purport to value. So like. Think about that.

ignoring all levels of personal comfort and artistic expression yada yada some of yall need to get it through your heads that nsfw means NOT SAFE FOR WORK. i don't give a flying fuck how deeply meaningful your portrayal of breasts is, someone's boss or teacher or colleague or classmate is not going to care about the aspect of transness or feminism or anything else it represents. it's about the fact that most people can't have uncensored tits on their screen at any given moment!!!!! holy shit!!!! if you don't want people tagging your artistic nudity as nsfw than i don't know what to tell you other than that it's not about your intent, it's about what's showing up on my phone screen on the bus??

Have our cries reached you after a full year of war that it is still ongoing! 🚨🚨

Today, we have completed a full year of the fierce war on Gaza – Palestine – and the world is still waiting for all of us to die. 😔

We know that you are tired of the many messages and appeals that we send to you, but there is no other way, which I have to admit that it is not the ideal one, to conveying our plea and the suffering we are enduring.

We can barely access the internet, so please try to help us financially or by spreading our story whenever you receive one of our pleas.🛜🛜🛜

Look at the picture, and you will understand how much we need your help and support during these difficult times we are going through.

Will we be able to resist the cold of winter in these clothes? what about our children? ???!! 👧👦😔

Winter is coming now, and we need essential requirements that we miss and lack because they cost money in these harsh conditions and the insane rise in prices.

Starting with:

*** Rehabilitating the tent we live in, which does not protect us from the cold weather at night and has deteriorated under the summer sun.

*** Winter clothes, especially for the children and all family members.

*** Winter blankets to protect against the cold night weather.

*** Medicine, especially for my daughter’s eye treatment and for my mother, who suffers from high blood pressure due to the poor living conditions.

How can you help us during these difficult times?

Even a small amount of support can help us, at least initially, to provide:

*** Winter clothes and blankets for the children.

*** A new tent that can protect us from rain and strong winds.

*** Some food supplies to help boost our immunity.

*** The chance to relocate when the borders open and secure a safe place for the family where medical care is available.

In this critical time, we need your support, even if it’s just a little, as it can provide for our basic needs and help us to at least survive and stay alive
