Hello! My name is Andy, and I'm trying to move out of my apartment. It has gotten way too expensive for me to continue living there and I have the opportunity to move in with some of my beloved friends. It will be more sustainable for me because of the shared expenses and the community there. However, moving is in and of itself expensive, and while I can cover everything else myself, I need a little help with paying for the U-Haul to move my belongings. Including insurance for the uhaul, I will need 300$ to move. Times are tough and I know that we are all struggling. If I could could clear this one last obstacle with your help, I would greatly appreciate it. Once I get settled I will absolutely pay the kindness forward to other people.

My CashApp is $AndyTheDankLoaf. Thanks for reading. Every little bit helps <3

$30/300

Thank you! I appreciate any and all help!

I sold my tv for an extra 50$! I need to reserve the uhual soon because I move this weekend! Again, any and all help is appreciated!

$80/300

Hello again! I'm moving tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated. I'm doing my best to stretch my paycheck and make this work, but I could still use some help. My Cashapp is $AndyTheDankLoaf. Anything is appreciated!

Bless thank you for the help! I really, appreciate it!

$180/300

Hey, y'all. I finished moving yesterday and the uhaul ended up costing 350$ plus about 75$ for gas. I'm strapped until I get a new job, but I have an interview tomorrow. If you would be willing to help a homie out, my cashapp is still $AndyTheDankLoaf.

Thank you to everyone who's donated already. It means more than you could possibly know.

So my internet bill got taken out even when I specifically asked the company to change the charging date and now it’s a $30 a day overdraft fee because I’m in the negative can someone PLEASE help by donating or sharing?

Don't tag as b00st/d0nation, please.

I'm posting on behalf of a very dear friend of mine who recently started a GFM to assist in funding her transition.

She's currently sitting at $205/$3000. If you could spare a few dollars or share this, it would mean a lot to her.

$1000/$4000!

I cannot express enough thanks for the kindness sent Roxie's way! She's upped the goal a bit to $4000.

Thank you everyone who has helped so far!! Every share and the smallest amount helps so much.

"Brock’s nightmare did not end there. At the police station, he was forced to show a jailer his genitals after explaining that he’s trans. And despite the fact that he met their criteria and has a penis, they placed him in a women’s holding cell."

What I like is how it is so nakedly obviously why the cop tracked him (Not stopped him, his lights were not on and he gave no lawful orders) Brock flipped the cop the bird when he saw him harassing a woman. This, naturally, isn't in the report because that's not a legal reason to arrest someone.

a tldr of this situation is that a trans man flipped off a cop as he was driving by, which is an action protected under the first amendment, the cop stalked him, pulled him over, beat him until he had a concussion, then lied about it after the fact despite the fact there was video evidence. the trans man was then charged with three bogus felonies, sexually harassed by at least one other officer, and then put in a women’s holding cell. he has lost his job and will likely have extreme difficulty finding another and the officer — who, again, lied about an event that was caught on camera — has not faced any consequences. this man’s life has, as the article states, been ruined by the heinous, though unsurprising, actions of this cop.

fuck cops. abolish the police. and stop erasing the state sanctioned violence being perpetrated against trans masculine people. this is the third story of police violence against a trans man i’ve read about this year, and it’s only been from other trans men talking about it.

Making this its own post 🥹

I made a funny haha-adjacent post about donations for my birthday, but now I’m kinda of actually struggling waiting to get paid at the end of this week (I SHOULD, pray for me; I THOUGHT I was getting a raise this month but it kicks in next month). My mental health is getting its ass kicked thorough this aaaaand all the things I have chronic pain with are firing on all cylinders so. I could use some help if you can. If you can’t send some coin, a reblog is always helpful🥲🥲

help a trans mixed-race-native move to a better state for her! ! !

 dont tag as d@n@tion because……..goddamn tumblr, but: 

Hi, I’m Medb, a Trans fem Numunu (comanche), begging for some help: i have been stuck for the past few years in a rather racist and queerphobic part of massachusetts, which has taken a major toll on my mental and physical health. Following my latest Scare, this time a landlord trying to evict me over misunderstandings, I’ve decided i want out enough to ask.

The goal is to get to New Mexico, Sanctuary state and located within my actual homeland too, as a bonus. that way i can get myself, well, well set-up and not need a reset again.

So if anyone wishes to help me, my main goal is to get around, hopefully, though i dont expect too much, 4000 dollars for first month, last month, and security deposit on an apartment, plus furniture, expenses for the next few months in case the jobs ive applied to fall through, and cushion. but in the end, literally anything helps.

Please help my friend Medb if you can! She’s been through hell and she deserves a lot better than her current situation.

this is a plea for mutual aid.

daemond, my partner, just got fired for a client's mistake, and i've been home sick for a week and a half from flare ups. my pain is more managed now, since my disease management doctor upped my medication, but dae is still out of work, the job market here is miniscule, and we both just have barely enough between us to make upcoming rent (800usd). i don't get paid for another two weeks, we're out of a few household necessities, namely hygiene products like shampoo, and we need groceries, and we both need help with car insurance and phone bills after rent is paid (roughly 400usd combined).

i know it's a lot to ask for. we've been budgeting and cooking at home in an attempt to get out of these financial ditches, but there is just so much conflicting bullshit going on with my health and dae's career, and it's honestly really scary. ergo i won't set a goal here, i'll just say that anything, anything helps. and if you can't donate, please just pass this post along. thank you all so much in advance.

Pride month vest project, a patch a day #29: Wheat But Not Bread, Fruit But Not Wine

As my friend Julian puts it, only half winkingly: "God blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason God made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation."

hi my names tyler i’m a trans bi guy and i recently got kicked out by my physically abusive homophobic mother and am experiencing housing instability, because of this i had to move states with my two cats to stay with my partner and get a new job and currently i am only being scheduled twice or three times a week and my paycheck is mostly dependent on tips, as you can imagine it’s been incredibly stressful and i’ve been developing canker sores bc of it, something id get frequently while living with my abusive mother and they make it rlly hard to eat or drink

i just had to go to an urgent care visit that was 30 dollars copay and my insurance didn’t cover the medicine they prescribed so i had to pay 80 dollars out of pocket, if i could get any financial help i’d really appreciate it as i still need to fill my car tank this week and get more cat food, and unfortunately i’m only scheduled twice this week again and really don’t want to reach into my savings bc i am in the process of attempting to get secure housing, i have a gofundme post with a more detailed explanation of events if needed, anything is appreciated i would’ve held off on getting my prescription but i’m in a lot of pain rn sorry, happy pride month and thank you !

around when I first started dating my boyfriend i bought myself this novelty blanket that looks like a photorealistic tortilla because I am SUCH A SUCKER for novelty shit. when he saw it in person for the first time his eyes lit up, which should have been a warning sign for the indignities to come.

so he’s a first responder and his day shifts start obnoxiously early as far as I, a pampered corporate asshole, am concerned. almost invariably when he’s at my place there will be an alarm at an hour that is downright unconscionable that will make him wake up and roll out of bed to get ready and will simultaneously make me burrow under the pillows grumbling about how surely nobody actually NEEDS their lives saved this early in the morning, after which I will promptly attempt to go back to sleep

he is a clever man and he knows this is when i am most vulnerable to attack.

every single time we do this dance, he quietly dresses, packs up, goes about getting ready to leave, and then when i have juuuust fallen back asleep, he returns with the tortilla blanket. He finds it no matter where I have hidden it.

He then creeps silently up to my side of the bed and uses his superior speed, strength, and reflexes to wrap me up in it incredibly tightly while i am still dazed and sputtering, so that i cannot move my legs or arms and am reduced to humiliating halfhearted magikarp flops that do not deter him from at least attempting to kiss my forehead.

then he goes to my bedroom door, opens it, then pauses, turns around, looks at me, the soft human filling of the facsimile of an enormous burrito he has just constructed, and says in his best romantic lead voice “I’ll see you soon, beans.”

you cannot understand how devastating it is to my ego that i am beans.

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

So let me get this straight ,vegans should stop eating the food of the Mexcian long-nosed bats, because the bats need it, and instead vegans should instead eat honey, the food of bees, that their larvae need, even though the bee populations are facing ecological issues as it stands.  10/10 post, dude.

Did you forget the whole part where only excess is taken and all their needs are met and then some orrrr?

Like, did you read it orrrrr?

Anyway, BUY HONEY SAVE BEES

It is a 10/10 post. Because OP is right.

Bees do not suffer when beekeepers take their honey, because experienced beekeepers do not take all of their honey, in fact, they leave plenty of honey left for the bees to consume over the winter. If we do not collect their honey, 1 of two things will happen.

1. they will leave for a bigger home. Which at first seems fine until you remember that bees are dying very quickly out in the wild.

or

2. They will start using the areas that they reserve for their young as a place to make more honey. This is bad because if no more young are being produced, then the hive will start to die out because no new workers are coming into the world, and the average live only 150 days, so it would also mean the loss of more bees.

So yeah, eating honey isn’t inhumane at all. In fact, you’re helping the bees by eating what they produce and giving money to the bee keepers who are the ones making sure that the hive will keep being healthy.

LOUDER FOR THE VEGANS IN THE BACK: use honey, not agave! Bees need your support and other animals need agave! Using honey means more bees!!

Other animal products that are absolutely fine to use because they produce it in excess:

- Wool. Sheep need to be sheared or their wool will get excessively large, matted and gross. Its legit just a haircut. Calm down and use wool instead of whatever fake acrylic microplastic shit they have in stores now. Wool is super warm, insulating, and guess what! It grows back! Its a renewable resource and all the sheep want in return is some good pasture and protection from predators.

- Eggs. I’m not talking about storebought eggs. Go to your local farmer’s market. Find someone around with chickens/ducks. These birds produce eggs literally every day and will not stop unless they are molting, brooding, or kept in the dark for most of the day. Like I am not joking when I say you can very easily find someone with poultry and they will beg you to take some eggs. Theres so many. Please. Take some duck eggs. I dont want them. I had 8 laying ducks last year. Thats 8 eggs every day. Thats 2 dozen eggs every THREE DAYS. Thats SO MANY EGGS PLEASE TAKE SOME EGGS

Reducing animal cruelty does not mean abolish the use of animal products. Go eat honey. Go use wool. Go find a friend with birds and eat eggs, or get your own. Just because it comes from an animal does not make it cruel.

The Least Intimidating bakery in the village has closed for good so now I’ve got to go to the Intimidating Bakery, it’s awful. If you don’t have a PhD in being French I don’t recommend going to that bakery, here’s the humiliating account of the 3 times I’ve visited it so far:

  • the first time I went in there I pointed at one of those extra-skinny baguettes and said “a flute, please” feeling pretty sure of myself, and the baker said “… that’s a ficelle” (you idiot) (was implied) “a flute is twice as large as a baguette.”
  • That’s insane, first of all, a flute is a skinny instrument. Call your fat baguette a bassoon, lady—I made some timid remark about how it would make more sense for a flute to be a skinny bread and the baker said, “In Paris it is. I thought you were from the South?”
  • oh, that hurt
  • I guess I’m from the part of the South that’s so close to Italy the bread’s waist size matters less than whether it’s got olives in it, but I left the bakery having an existential crisis over whether living in Paris had made me forget my roots
  • the Least Intimidating Bakery just had normal baguettes vs. seedy baguettes vs. horny baguettes (easy mode, some have seeds, some have horns), while the new bakery has breads that are only different on a molecular level—there’s a good old loaf and then another, identical loaf called a bastard? google told me a bastard is “halfway between a baguette and a bread” but denouncing them like “those are not regulation-sized bastards” would get me banned from the bakery for life
  • on my 2nd visit (while I stood in line discreetly googling baguette terminology) there was an English tourist who asked for a baguette while pointing at what was either a rustique or a sesame and I felt a bit worried for them, but the baker just clarified “this one?” to waive any responsibility if they found out later it wasn’t a classic baguette, then handed them the bread without educating them in a judgmental tone and I felt envious
  • I know it’s because she thinks the English are beyond saving but still it made me want to come back with a fake moustache and an English accent so I wouldn’t be expected to play bakery on expert mode just because I’m French. I asked for a pastry this time and the baker asked “no bread with that?” which felt cruel, like she wanted me to sprinkle myself with ashes and admit out loud that my level of bread proficiency isn’t as advanced as I once believed it was
  • The third time I went, I had lost all self-confidence and I hesitantly pointed at a bread and said “I’d like this, uh—what is it called?” and the baker looked at me in disbelief and said “That’s a baguette.”
  • God.
  • for the record, if that stupid bread had been flanked by a skinny bread (ficelle) and a fat one (flute) then yeah of course I would have known to call it a baguette, but in the absence of reference points I now felt lost and scared of being called a Parisian again
  • it’s hard to express the depth of my suffering so I’ll just let the facts speak for themselves: this morning a French person (me) stood in a French bakery in France surrounded by French people and pointed at a baguette and said “what is this called”

So the French are like that to each other, too
