I feel like i don't deserve this and i'm incredibly anxious making this, but hi, i'm Kuiper. I'm a 19-year old gq lesbian who is desperate. I was born into an abusive home. Mentally, emotionally, religiously, medically, physically, and sometimes sexually. i struggle with dusprganized psychosis, dissociation, panic and aciety attacks, daily suicidal thoughts, and signs of complex-ptsd. My dad has gotten better to some degree and now I'm allowed to see doctors and am getting some of the treatment i need, not all of it. My mom has only gotten worse. She is tearing the family even more apart than before and my dad just wants to pretend things will work out and pretend nothing's wrong to keep her from exploding. She has kicked my brother out before when he was my age, and more recently tried to kick me out. She blows the little money we have for herself and my little brother and favors him while screaming at me, my older brother and dad. My dad owes us both money, but mostly my older brother. My dad can't afford to divorce my mom, but i also believes he's holding onto a marriage that destroyed all three of us kids.

I have worked 1 job that i had to quit because of panic attacks and sensory overload that left me hardly able to speak. My cowokrers and managers were very ableist as well. Then my health steadily began to plummet and if i can get diagnoses for possible ehlers-danlos syndrome and epilepsy, possibly POTS too, and see if i'm losing my vision, then maybe i will be taken seriously enough to go on disability. As for mental diagnoses, i'm not sure how that will play out. I feel like if i were medicated, on clozapine, then i could at least have days where i wasn't constantlt at war with my mind about dying, about what's real and what's not, and what's true or not. I've watched myself regress substantially cognitive-wise, from being hyperlexic and learning to read at age 2 to having extremely disprganized thought and speech where voices are constantly screaming at me, while it's all blank at the same time. It goes much, much deeper than that, but I can't even begin to elaborate. I started doing pixel art on instagram, but my disabilities get in the way, and i've composed some classical music. I qlso enjoy learning languages if i feel up to it. I'm trying this very last thing before i give up.

I'm asking for whatever you can give me if you are able. Maybe it can help me purchase equipment to produce the pieces i've notated. Maybe it can help me find an apartment. Whether it's $20, $10, $1, or a reblog. My username is $sunnycody2224 on cashapp. Thank you zo much if you read this far.

cis lgb Americans keep saying “they’re coming for us next!!” in regards to the current political climate as if the republicans didn’t introduce over 300 anti-trans bills this past legislative session, many of which passed, including the forcible detransitioning of all trans youth in alabama. like huh?? you are not good trans allies.

the current political climate is possible because republicans made trans people a “wedge issue” and cis people haven’t been fighting with us for the last 5 years while states decimate trans rights

cis lgb people you should care about your trans siblings

cis lgb people you should care about your trans siblings, not only because they're the canary in the coal mine but also (ESPECIALLY) because they are PEOPLE and YOUR SIBLINGS

i think more characters should have canes actually. theyre cool. theyre sexy. they can have swords in them. they come in any color u want.

alright I’m rbing to add onto this bc it’s getting way more attention than I ever expected and people seem to be more likely to check the rbs than the replies. plus I want people to be able to rb this version.

the point of this post is not swords. it is not how well someone can fight w a cane. the point is I want to see more disabled representation and I want to see characters who use canes and I want them to use them correctly and I want them to be just as fleshed out and interesting as their abled counterparts.

my cane user friend and I were talking abt sword canes just before I made the post so I tossed it in. I collect blades—knives, daggers, swords—and I’m also a disabled cane user who collects fancy canes. so I think combining the two is cool. I don’t even think they’d be good for self defense, I just think they’re a fun thing to show off to friends!

but this post has always, first and foremost, been abt mobility aids. this is abt being a young cane user who doesn’t see rep. I’d love to see highschool dramas where a character uses a cane but it’s not used to make u pity them, it’s just a regular part of their life. I wanna see fantasy cane users where the animal head handle speaks. I wanna see sci-fi cane users and cane users in romances and cane users in main roles.

I know abt canne de combat and bartitsu and the other fighting styles u can use a cane for. that’s never been what this post is abt. I just want to see myself in media.

everyone who rbs this version gets a kiss on the forehead

everyone who rbs any version that makes my post entirely abt weapons while ignoring the mobility aid part owes me a kofi bc ik for sure there’s enough of yall for me to afford crutches

Hey guys, I hate asking for money, but I need help.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Rusty. I’m a non-binary POC with fibromyalgia.

As of October 2021, my chronic pain has been affecting my life and ability to function normally. I’m now at a point where I’m struggling to walk more than a couple blocks without being in a shit ton of pain. Sometimes the pain makes it impossible to stand for more than a couple seconds. Because of this, I’ve decided to get a wheelchair.

While most wheelchairs cost an upwards of $500 with a majority being between $1000-2000, I found a wheelchair on EBay for $300 that’s worth $1500 brand new.

I’m going to ask the seller if he’s willing to hold it for a couple weeks while I try to earn the money, but nothing is for certain.

For now though, I’m asking for $300. If anything changes (price increases or chair is sold before I can obtain it), I’ll take down this post.

$305/$300

Edit: I met my goal! 💕

Here’s a link to my linktree, which has my ve//nm0, p@¥p@|, and c@$h@pp (censored bc this stupid blue app sucks)

Heyyyy so! My laptop is finally fucked over and I desperately need a new one ASAP so I can make content! If you send me money I'll send u nudes <3 really big donations will get a 1-5 minute vid too!!!!

Disabled Trans Man of Color in Need of Assistance for Top Surgery

Hello, my name is Saint, I am currently living in a motel with broken locks and will be getting top surgery in 2 days (on 10/22/21) and have a hotel stay across the state near my surgeon, this is required by him so I am in the area for the week after surgery to watch for complications and to remove my drains at the end of the week. My insurance was supposed to pay for this hotel stay (and my friend’s gas money to get across the state) but has not done so. We live tomorrow and I have no money, other than the $20 I promised my friend for gas money. The hotel stay is $1200. As you can see, there is a problem here!

I have been on this wait-list for surgery for nearly four years now. My life is sort of in shambles right now and I was living day by day telling myself, “At least you have top surgery in a month, at least you have top surgery in a week, at least you have top surgery in a few days,”. This has been my lifeline and now I’m sitting in a cafe with the cheapest coffee they have, so I can use the Wi-Fi to ask for help.

If you’re able to spare anything at all, please consider donating to mt Cashapp: $NicoBowie, or please I’m begging you at the very least, reblog this so someone else can see it and help. Thank you.

Reblog to Help a Trans Woman in Need

Remaking this post because my first one has lost traction and I am still in need of assistance. I’m sorry to have to make a post like this, but I really need help. I’ve just gotten let go from my job with no warning (I was still in the first few months so they legally didn’t need to give me notice but it still sucks), and I was relying on that paycheck for food and to pay my utilities. I spent the last of my money on cat food (the essentials, can’t have my babies go hungry) and one of my medications. I am a trans woman who is recovering from a really awful eating disorder, and I’m honestly terrified of relapsing if I am unable to buy groceries. Honestly, if anyone is able to send $1, ramen is better than relapsing into this toxic cycle. If you aren’t able to donate, please reblog or share, it would help me more than you know ❤️❤️

Can we talk about the oppression towards mlm trans men and how everyone treats them like straight girls fetishizing gay men because we don't talk about it enough 😕

Omg yes, I'm so tired of being called a "straight girl with a fetish." That's the first thing people go to when I say I'm a gay trans man. It shows that they have such a fundamental misunderstanding of how gender and sexuality work. It's a really nuanced conversation though, and I feel like there's no way to talk about it without making *someone* mad, and I'm about to take a shower. So I don't want to rush and write up my opinion on it because it will not get the nuance it deserves. I may come back to this in the future though.

To all my mlm trans men and mascs, I love you. You are not fetishizing anyone. Your love is valid <3

Kinda weird how you say you’re against fascism yet you shut down anyone just because they share a different opinion than you. You guys are exactly what you say you hate... FASCIST! How come I have never seen any member of antifa actually sit down with someone and have a civil debate? I’ve only ever seen them yell and throw tantrums. Doesn’t look good for you guys, yikes.

fascism in italy was not defeated by discourse.

Something I heard recently: if you insist on sheltering both lambs and wolves, you will get in the end only wolves. If you insist your safe space is safe for bigots as well as minorities you will have a space full of bigots- minorities will be driven out.

Disney has trademarked the names of a bunch of Norse gods.

This is not okay.

These gods do not belong to Disney. They do not belong to Marvel. They belong to themselves and themselves alone, along with all those who worship them as the deities they are.

Thor, Loki, Odin, etc., these gods were not thought up by anyone at Disney or Marvel.

Stan Lee knew how sacred these gods are to those who follow many different Pagan traditions, how sacred they are to Scandinavian cultures to whom they are so important.

My best friend follows the Norse gods. She will be so bloody offended when she finds out about this. These are her gods, this is her religion. These are the deities she worships, the gods she prays to, the traditions she follows. She enjoys the Marvel portrayals of these characters, but they are separate from the gods she believes in.

Disney is stepping on her religion in an effort to gain more and more money.

Stan Lee did not trademark these names. He understood their importance and their sacred meaning. He was respectful enough not to do this.

These names are not the intellectual property of anyone. Neither the original names in runes nor the anglicised names that are used in Marvel's works.

They were around well before us (a whole ass millennium before us), and they will be around well after the greedy bastards who have decided to trademark religious symbols are dust.

It should be common sense and common courtesy not to trademark the names of religious figures, which all of these gods and goddesses are, even if you do not believe in them.

mod is not christian but you would never see me trademark jesus ffs it crosses a Line

If you agree, please sign and share the petition. If you can, please chip in to get this petition everywhere it can possibly go.

It is f**king disgusting that Disney is doing this.

It needs to stop.

Oh, and one more thing.

FUCK DISNEY.

i want to throw up ive included a bunch of tags trying to get the norse pagans attention bc im sure they'll want in on this if u have an in with the norse paganism community on tumblr pls do tag everyone u can

im wondering now if they've done this to the greek gods too ughh that would show even more of a disregard for other people's religious views and past people's religious views ughhhh ok imma go look at the toilet bowl for a bit 😅pls sign it'd mean the world to me

@thepastelpriestess prooobably something to boost in the Hellenist community as well...

There are also people who SHARE A LEGAL NAME with these deities who are already facing consequences where using their own name is forbidden by services' copyright filters.

Plus it obvs affects anyone who creates anything related to this pantheon: Artisans, writers...

Honestly striking anyone who uses their names could completely bury all information relating to them in every region Disney has taken out the trademark (including online info hosted in any of those regions). Which has some pretty fucking worrying broader implications, honestly.

Welcome to the cyberpunk dystopian present!

Disney can suck my ass.

Again, not astrology related but this is extremely important and Disney can suck my ass.
