Help two disabled trans girls make it through July
Me and my wife had to completely drain both our bank accounts at the beginning of the month paying rent and back rent from last month. And we still have $675 in utilities and internet bills coming up in a week. I don't know how we're gonna be able to feed ourselves let alone afford our hormones and my wife's Ozempic($185 per 4 weeks)
We're already been out of hormones for weeks with not being able to justify refilling my prescription because of the financial pressure we've been under. We've both been completely cut off from any kind of familial financial support, mainly my parents essentially just telling us to "figure it out ourselves" when they know what we're living on isn't sustainable at all and not nearly enough to facilitate having savings for emergencies.
Meanwhile we've still had continuing hardships with my wife's dental health, she's still has over a dozen cavities, 4 chipped teeth and a broken impacted wisdom tooth that needs extraction as soon as possible. At this point she can only chew with 1/3 of her jaw very slowly and it really hurts me to watch her go through this every day
I'm trying to get a part-time job but currently all I'm being offered are internships that don't start til the end of July/start of August and I still don't know if there's any chance of me receiving any sort of salary or compensation for the job I'll be doing..

Please, we only have half a week to make the power bill and if we don't pay it by then it's another $100 fee for our power company getting a collection agency involved.
19/7 update:
We've received an email from our power company telling us that if we don't have the power bill, including the additional fees paid by the 25th that they're shutting off our power and adding a supplemental charge to the existing bill, forcing us to pay an upfront cost for the next two upcoming months as security for payment on future invoices. Our internet company also informed us that they'll be shutting our internet off by the end of the month and getting a collection agency involved if we don't have that bill paid by then. We only need another $267 to make the power bill and $165 for the internet bill ($432 all together) to settle the charges before our already awful predicament intensifies, and we could have our personal processions sold off to settle the debt on the unpaid bills and fees. Please, if anyone is capable of helping out, we would be incredibly thankful. Having this situation cleared up and being able to use our money to refill our prescriptions, put food on the table, and start dealing with my wife's dental issues would be such a massive relief for both of us. Being able to go back on our hormones after almost 3 months and having all this stress settled before my birthday at the end of this month would genuinely make my year.

While on strike, workers take a significant pay cut. Unions save and collect strike funds to pay workers during a strike (so they can pay rent, feed kids, etc.). When you LIMIT the amount of money a striking worker received, you are limiting the workers’ ability to survive on lengthy strike.
“… according to “Frequently asked questions” on strike pay currently posted on the UAW website, if striking UAW members receive gross outside pay higher than their weekly strike benefit, then they will receive no income from the UAW’s strike fund. Weekly strike pay is currently a paltry $500. Workers at battery maker Clarios confirmed to the WSWS that UAW officials told them they would not receive their strike pay if they earned more than $499 from outside jobs during their recent 40-day-long strike….
Since the $500 weekly strike benefit is far less than what is needed to survive, the rule restricting outside earnings is aimed at significantly undermining the ability of workers to withstand a longer strike. Any attempt by the UAW apparatus to justify the rule by claiming “lack of resources” would not hold water, given that the strike fund stands at over $825 million.”

it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit
why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????
when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users
why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!
no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished
dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again
sorry but proudhon was reactionary for his time too.
he was attacked for advocating for corrective violence to discipline women while he was alive we do not have to do this whole song and dance about how he had the foresight to know he would be deemed conservative. he was deeply reactionary about women and jewish people and nationalism.
#literaly the only time i had thought abt proudhon in the last year#was in the context of engels debunking all the dumb shit he said about housing#eg. housing as a human right solves nothing about societal exploitation in and of itself#it took me a second to remember that there are anarchists who uphold him for some reason#:/

is this even funny i dont think its funny im not putting it in the tags
How has this comic made such a groundbreaking cultural impact without getting over 40k notes
I saw Frida talk about Farcille for femslashfebruary and with more dark magic tone… I’m usually the fluffiest of fluff but… big monster and necromancer? can’t resist to try at least!
the way liberalism aligned people seem to think that capitalists do nothing to influence global economic system and just sit on their wealth exposes their inherent belief in capitalism being the natural way of life. when it's nothing but! capitalists put lots of work and money in constantly reanimating the corpse of capital. they commit tremendous atrocities as blood sacrifices to keep capitalism alive! there's nothing passive about capitalist's existence as class!
I think the idea that working class people "deserve a fair wage" is missing the point a little, because in the current labour dynamic, the capitalists kind of define the rules of engagement - and they absolutely do not consider whatever they're paying you under the terms of "deserved and earned wage". they are paying you as little as they legally can - they would pay you less, nothing even, if they could get away with it. like chattel slavery was a thing - they would own you wholesale as a piece of property if it was legal. the notion of a wage being "earned" or "deserved" is completely alien to them. you don't "deserve" anything to them. the conception of "earning" something is based on a misguided assumption that the ruling class genuinely believes in things like "fairness" and legitimate equitable free exchanges of goods and services. but they don't! they take from everyone and everything they are in proximity to! they aren't interested in any of that. I think the terms of engagement should not be "we deserve a fair wage" but rather "we want, can, and WILL take a better life for ourselves".
