IF ONLY I COULD FILL MY HEART WITH ✰LOVE✰

hi my names tyler, im a black trans guy escaping an abusive household, im remaking this post bc it’s gotten long and donations have mostly stoped

TLDR: my homophobic mother who is verbally physically and financially abusive kicked me out of the house, i cannot go “home” ever as i’m in the process of cutting ties entirely, she has attempted to kill me multiple times and has threatened to kill my pets, something she has done in the past, as of may 15th she’s called all of my family members and have gotten them to turn on me bc of not wishing her a happy mother’s day, the last time we spoke she was throwing my belongings into the street and saying she wouldn’t care if i died on the curb, she is incredibly violent and unstable and i want to go no contact

i’m staying at my partners house but this is not stable housing, i have two cats staying in the room im at and a small basket of clothes, i doubt i’ll be able to get any of my stuff still at the old house, im looking to find stable housing in the lower bucks county or north east philly areas, i can afford up to 1k in rent but would prefer anything lower / roommates to split rent for a place near those areas, i have a secure job im just looking to move asap and don’t want to leave my cats behind

all money I get will go directly into my savings and will be for paying rent, i have a steady money flow but i don’t want to risk getting evicted if i find a place, if you know anyone that can spare housing or who is looking for a roommate please reach out to me i’d really appreciate it, i don’t have many options, i just want to get my life together and be free of my mom so anything at all helps, the gofundme can be spread on its own, i’ll try to update it or this post as often as i can, i just spent about $200 on a new phone today as my mothers been cutting my service on and off despite me paying my own phone bill and i’m trying to make sure her and my family can’t contact me anymore, below are other ways to donate if needed, thankyou for taking the time to read / spread this

just had a dream that the epic rap battles of history guys announced 'a new direction for the channel' and then released literally hundreds of rap songs about 9/11 in the span of an hour

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

This is one of my favorite posts on this goddamn site.

I cannot put into words how much I Fucking Loathe the fact that when you search something on youtube now it will randomly intersperse blocks of "people also watched" and "for you" into the results. That's not what I searched for, youtube. I typed in a search query because I wanted to see search results, not random unrelated garbage you have placed in my way apparently to either inconvenience me or force me to scroll further for actual results. I despise your wretched little games and every time I see it I can only instantly close the tab as I am overcome with the urge to burn something down.

"I despise your wretched little games" perfectly conveys how I feel about the entire algorithm/attention economy

God the entire idea of an "attention economy" is so fucking dystopian, but that's exactly what it is and it pains me

From what I understand from the article, it’s even rougher than normal content moderation: a lot of these workers were hired to train AIs like ChatGPT away from, well, all the worst that the web could provide, to detoxify it for the end users. They are specifically given the worst stuff that can be dredged up from the depths of the internet, and asked to label it - so that the AI can use that data to identify hatespeech, suicide ideation, racism, CSA, etc etc.

It’s an awful job, and some are paid less than $2 an hour. Workers have PTSD. Are they being offered counselling, support, compensation? Fuck no, they get punished for speaking up.

Good luck to the African Content Moderators Union, I hope they get the protections and compensation that their workers need.

terfs in the united states (i cant speak for anywhere else) believe that theyre the silent majority and then act shocked when people view them as extremists. look at who youve thrown your lot in with. the biggest names in american transphobia are trump and tucker carlson. the people pushing your legislation are homophobic and sexist bigots. your chosen enemies have suffered a 93% increase in being murdered in the last 4 years. your allies are making life harder on people with a 40% attempted suicide rate overall and kids with a 56% attempted suicide rate. tell me the hate you share is harmless. the best case scenario for your ideology is a nightmare and you are an extremist. theres a reason people hate terfs

if you find the consequences of transphobia disgusting, you can just walk away from terfism at any time. you can climb out of the bed you share with fascists. its not too late, but you have to want to change. no one else can do this for you, but i hope this can serve as a wake-up call
