Audio:
Erika, referencing ebenezer scrooge: You, boy! What day is it?!
Brennan, as a young boy: It's Pride, bitch!
a reminder to transfems that you aren’t a walking fetish toy you are a full and beautiful and wonderful human being and anyone who only wants you for your girldick and doesn’t give a shit about your actual personality isn’t someone you want around you
Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life
I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔
We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.
My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.

the old campaign is still shown on that reblog, but when you clicked into the one from shareef it shows the new campaign. However, that post seems to have been removed.
Please donate to this family if you are able to at all, anything you can give will make a difference and is absolutely worth it even if you can only afford to contribute a small amount, and be sure to reblog this post with tags so it can reach more people and donations can keep being made consistently!

Please help me bring joy to my children this Eid al-Adha. They urgently need clothes and medical treatment. Please don't abandon us; you are our only hope.
so you’re telling me that lavonte is just tending to his basil plant? that when he had a big success and was feeling good about himself all he wanted to do was provide love and care to his basil plant? which is most likely the first physical manifestation of their feelings for each other that his sire has ever given him? because now that he’s medicated hj is feeling everything differently? mind you. this is a basil plant we’re talking about. which has literally no use or benefit to anyone in the house….. and its also ALIVE unlike both lavonte and the man who gave it to him btw………….

Teen’s organs failing & NO TREATMENT in >1 MONTH
19-year-old Khalil Al Habil's liver and kidneys are failing. Shrapnel damage from the bombardment that killed his baby brother Omar has gone mostly untreated due to a lack of funds and resources. The ill effects of this damage have progressed to the point that the organs are losing their ability to function. Khalil urgently needs 3 rounds of treatment to combat the effects of his deteriorating liver and kidneys.
We've paid off the first round of treatments but Khalil has two treatments that he still needs. The second costs about $1,250 usd, but we haven’t made much progress in more than a month and his condition is getting progressively worse. We need to meet this second goal ASAP!!!
Current: $10,052 out of $10,407 usd (12 May)
Need to raise: $355 usd
Hello, my name is Khalil, I'm 19 years old, from Gaza.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.
lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
Guess whose car just ~broke down on the highway~ at 11pm at night!
Guess we're back to crowd funding! The tow is going to cost 179$ because I dont have the best insurance. I have no idea what happened to the car yet, just that the oil light came on. When I bought it not long ago the oil was still good, so odds are its a mechanical issue. I'll update when I can about how much help I'll need with that.
You can pitch in at ko-fi.com/rosebijoumme or my cashapp $FaeKhawal. Please help me out here, I'm about to have to move and the Uber from my home to work is crazy expensive

I’ve been thinking about episode 7 of City Council of Darkness and about Lavonte reacting the way he did to Maya assuming he and HJ were a couple.
Lavonte and HJ represent exact tropes of homosexuality and vampirism of the 1980s; by the 80s, vampires had shifted from countryside landed gentry hiding away in musty castles to urbanised capitalists - the setting changes, but they still benefit from the toil of others as the bourgeoisie against the proletariat (Morrissette, 2013). At the same time, people moving to cities during the industrial revolution to work formed proletariat communities of their own, including homosexuals that left their homes in search of a better life; the city was different than their small-knit towns where everyone knew everyone, and gave them freedom. By the 80s HIV/AIDs crisis, horror had synthesised vampires and homosexuality to be intertwined urban concepts; for members of these groups (homosexuals/vampires), there is an element of hunting or pursuing a partner (cruising/finding a victim), exchanging fluids (cum/blood), and those fluids put you at risk of sickness or death (AIDs/vampirism) (Clark, 2022). There is, further, the idea of “turning someone” - this is framed as a bad thing by out-members, but contains nuance within the community. They are both seductive. They are both abnormal. You should warn your children about (homosexuals/vampires), do not let your daughter move to the city, or she will become a (homosexual/vampire). Within horror, vampires began to be queer coded; Daughters of Darkness (1971), The Hunger (1983), Fright Night (1985), The Lost Boys (1987).
HJ is the exemplar of the 80s vampire - he is a businessman with immense power, he is slick, he is clean shaven and well dressed, he is a confirmed bachelor. He is coded as (homosexual/vampire), and it’s interesting to think about whether Lavonte pursued HJ because he was a vampire, or because HJ was a man. It is risky for either of those factors to be what makes him appealing, but the desire alongside the disorder is what makes it a (homosexual/vampire) love story - it would be horrifying to want someone while also being terrified of what they can do to you. It completely makes sense to me that Lavonte, even though Lou played it as a joke, would have reservations about people thinking he was gay. Being gay in the 80s meant being dirty, meant being sick, meant being less masculine or respected, meant being the “other,” regardless of if he’s gay or not (Clark, 2022). Even though I see Lavonte as being totally accepting, being gay himself would be an admission of guilt in some way. Lavonte is focused, charismatic, and doesn’t like hearing “no” - if someone implied he seduced HJ to gain vampirism, I think that would be his nightmare.
Truly, even though none of their 80s-gay-vampirism coding was intentional, and even though Lou and Ally were playing up the miscommunication as a joke, I think it's interesting to see how character moments make logical sense within meta-horror. It’s been a great season so far.

My former SF/F writing advisor Shelley Streeby has a new book coming out in October, and it features Octavia E. Butler, Ursula K. Le Guin (who I got to see do a talk at UCLA before she passed in 2018), and Judith Merril. Shelley does incredible work in ethnic studies and literature as well as writing about climate change/ecology and the way science fiction writers grapple with it. If you write SF/F with an environmental or Solar Punk/Cli Fi slant, this may interest you.
