A friend lost their place to live and needs money to find a new home

https://www.gofundme.com/f/patricia-find-a-new-home

Please give if you can

Patricia is one of the most wonderful human beings I’ve ever met in my life. She’s changed my life, and I want her to finally get away from that shit hole she’s been forced to live in. This fund has been going incredibly, in just a few hours she’s gotten such a big reminder of how much she’s loved. If you can give, please can. We need her to be safe so badly.

Her mother is forcing her out by the end of the week. She just needs money to be able to get a safe home. Renting, whatever. She just needs something.

thank you

My Dad has Cancer, Please Help Me Travel Home

Hi all I am a disabled trans woman struggling to survive each month with 2 of my partners on the west coast. My dad lives on the east side of the country and is currently fighting his 3rd battle with multiple myeloma. I haven't been home in close to 4 years, and I'm trying to raise the funds to travel with my partners across the country to visit with my dad. We are all disabled ourselves and struggle with rent each month, we currently do not have enough to make the gas/lodging costs or plane tickets.

We are asking for help raising money either for tickets or gas/lodging depending, either way we are looking at close to $1000 we'd need to raise to make the trip. If you could send even $10 and spread this, it would help me toward my goal of spending time with my dad. Thank you all <3

my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like "hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench" and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it's extremely entertaining

and my parents are always like "oh my god why would you do that" bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour

Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

Asking is a love language

This is also true for people who are not autistic, like academics and people who enjoy teaching! One of my happiest memories is the time some of my friends were chatting on the porch, and one of them stuck their head in and said, “Hey Ash, why are owls associated with wisdom?” And I was like, “Well! It’s because--” and she called another friend and they let me teach them about Athena for two minutes.

I need to see a bitches arm vein while she chokes me, I need a death grip on my throat

He would not fucking say that

Not in public but trust me I've known him since I was practically a child

i need to get more masc so i can present feminine

Real talk why does social interaction feel like you’re trying to get a good grade in being a person

why does everything in life feel like a test that i need to get a good grade on

What could be better than this my special pasta treat

i always keep this image on hand in case i find myself losing an argument online

"trans women are seen by our enemies as overtly sexual, to most we only exist as a porn category. we need to fight to show that we are not purely to exist as fetishes" and: "our enemies demonize trans women for having sexual thoughts and desires, and we're not afforded the spaces to express it that most other people are afforded" are two thoughts that should coexist, and are two sides of the same coin.

we're not given the opportunity to exist as people who aren't solely for the sexual gratification of the forces at large and at the same time we're not given the opportunity to have any sexuality of our own

Did you just call Dollarbob a t boy

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

- Sacha Coward

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”  

- @robinlayfield

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Adding Wendy Carlos to the list! Trans icon and pioneer of synthesized music!!

Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.

And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.
