Help Me Stay Not Homeless

https://www.gofundme.com/help-a-trans-activist-stay-safe

For those of you reading this who’ve never heard of me before, I’m a sapphic trans mentally ill community activist who’s gotten the short end of the stick for a long while.   Throughout the month of November y'all helped me raise money to make sure I dont end up homeless after my family kicked me out of the house with absolutely no warning, and I’ve been staying in that house and even got a better paying job to help cover future costs. However, too many unexpected expenses came up while I was still recovering: costs to repair my car (the way I make my money), paying my phone bill (after my family dropped me from their plan), paying several forms of insurance (same reasons as the phone bill), and medical costs after being attacked and rushed by power abusive police while protesting and sent to the ER (this also left me unable to work for a while which led to me losing even more money). Needless to say I’m hurting for money really badly. I barely have any food at the moment, and I’m constatly worrying about if I’ll have enough money to cover rent for this month, but shelter takes the highest priority. To totaly cover the cost of rent I’d need $400 by the begining of December. I was overwhelmed by the results of the last fundraiser I did (where I recieved $1000 when all I needed to take care of myself was $750), but I still dont expect those amazing results each time I make one of these. Any amount of help you can provide will help me worry just a little less when it comes time to pay the huge amounts of expenses I have. Honestly anything helps, thank you so much if you’ve decided to either help fund me or share this so potentially people with the ability to help me catch wind. I will keep you updated as things move forward.

Help A Homeless Trans Woman In Need

So I was recently kicked out onto the street by my family and have barely anywhere to go. I’m only even able to make this post bc some very kind friends of mine allowed me to stay with them till the 26th of OCT. I do have plans on how to get myself out of this mess but due to the horrors of capitalism I’ll need some money to make it even possible.

Some other trans women have offered me a room in their apartment for about $400 +$150 for utilities in rent with a $100 deposit which will be available by November 1st. Which means I’ll need to raise about $650 by then which gives me about 11 days as of today (21st) to do so.

If you are able to offer a bit of money to help me get there I have made a GoFundMe page but if you’d rather sent it to me directly, my paypal is under [email protected]. If you are unable to do either I understand, and just some warm words of encouragement and hope would be appreciated as I’m in a very dark place right now and desperately trying not to kill myself.

Thank you all! Please reblog to spread this around!

IS THAT SHIRLEY BASSEY

This is what happens if you cross the ballroom scene in “Labyrinth” with a Bond film opening credits sequence and set the result to P!nk.

I want to take a vacation in this video.  @gothiccharmschool

[motorizedduck]

I remember reading an interview with Shirley Bassey about doing this music video. She said that she had the biggest difficulty in delivering the line “I’ll be burning rubber, you’ll be kissing my ass” without laughing, because she’s never sung such strongly-worded lines before and she thought it was great. :D

[ardatli]

This is relevant to my aesthetic. Also, laughingacademy’s description is dead-on 100% perfection.

Saying that man and woman are the only genders is actually LESS nuanced than saying that earth, water, air, and fire are the only elements.

[mercy-misrule]

one of the most amazing things that has been said to me in therapy is that self esteem doesn’t exist.

and that floored people and the psych went onto say that what she meant was that self esteem is a concept that actually includes a vast array of things and labelling them all as one thing is really limiting and prevents actual improvement

you could have real strong pride in the things you create and hate your body

you could hate your creations but also want to share them with people

you could not hate yourself at all but not take care of yourself, engage in reckless self endangerment

thats all bundled under ‘self esteem’ but saying ‘i need better self esteem’ doesn’t mean anything

whereas if you say ‘i need to work on ways to keeping myself safe, refusing to act on destructive urges’ or ‘i want to be in a place where i believe compliments trusted people give me’

thats concrete, thats a goal.

having it said in therapy helped a lot of people in my group stop saying ‘i have low self esteem’ and start specifying about the actual issue they have

[algophilatreia]

I adore how in kink we call intimacy “playing.” I can go up to someone and say, “Would you like to play with me?” The same as when we were children. This dark obsession of ours is pure and bright, like when we forget ourselves pretending to have superpowers in the schoolyard or when we grow so enamored with a book we tenderly sew it up inside our hearts and spend hours over laptop screens and notebooks spiraling into its universe. We design our own toys and research different ways to make someone scream or pose properly on our knees, and we realize we never left those days escaping into our fantasy dimensions. Those who did not understand branded us odd, and that hasn’t changed either. As we graduate from playgrounds and swings, we isolate ourselves too much in our own strangeness; in our own imaginations. We must reach out and teach ourselves to play again. Playing is giddiness and enthusiasm and innocence. Will you play with me? Will you share this love of mine and laugh it across our bodies in bruises, cum, and blood? Will you hold up your hand to slap my face as if you are a candle in a dark attic between two grade school friends sharing secrets when their parents think they are sleeping? Help me arrange my pain and pleasure alphabet blocks. You are a knight and I am a warrior. Your flogger is your stick sword, my skin is my cardboard shield. I am a dragon and you are a princess. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, I’ll leave scorch marks and pull your hair. In our taboo corner, we seek safety under shadow. Our fantasies and longings stir inside us misunderstood and denied like the desperation with which we waved wands and secretly believed we were wizards. We sometimes find someone like us. Someone who knows magic and that other world one can’t put into words; the one that feels like fireflies in your belly. And in an excited, hushed encounter like two am at summer camp under the covers with comic books and flashlights, the only right way to ask is, “Do you want to play?”

Love love love this

[cayenaleva]

I appreciate this post, but it seems to be trying to turn a “dark” hobby into something light and playful, when it can be light and playful to begin with. Kink — even D/s — isn’t inherently whips and chains. It’s not inherently cruel or sadistic. It can just be.

I have heard stories of someone suspended into a cannonball position and kicked around by two of her friends. This was dubbed Heatherball. I’m sure most kinksters have at least one story like this. I’ve done scenes that filled me with so much happiness that my own orgasm made me laugh. It’s not an exception. It’s part of the rule.

Playing is playing. It doesn’t always have to be a metaphor for the violent, dark, twisted things kinksters are capable of. Sometimes it’s just what it says on the tin: Curious, joyous, collaborative, creative, and free.

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.

Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from  48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.

I'll Never Understand Fashionable Girls

*nerdy girl and popular girl walk into bathroom together*

Popular Girl: *puts on make-up in the mirror* I watched that show you're so into last night.

Nerdy Girl: You have! I knew I'd convert you sooner or later!

Popular Girl: I didn't really like it.

Nerdy Girl: Seriously!? Come on!

Popular Girl: Like, the effects are really bad and the plots don't make sense. The British accents are weird too.

Nerdy Girl: The effects are part of the charm. You have to actually pay attention to the plot. Also, British accents rule. It's how real English is supposed to sound.

Popular Girl: *puts on lipstick and smacks lips* It's just not my thing. I don't like sci-fi space stuff. I like action and drama. Realistic stuff.

Nerdy Girl: Speculative fiction tends to influence science, so everything you're dismissing now could possivly be very realistic in a few decades.

Popular Girl: I don't pay attention to that stuff. I like the here and now.

Nerdy Girl: *sighs* Whatever, enjoy being boring.

Nerdy Girl: *notices a string coming out of the nape of popular girl's neck*

Nerdy Girl: *lightly tugs on string*

Popular Girl: *stops moving entirely*

Nerdy Girl: Are you alright?

Popular Girl: *remains silent and still*

Nerdy Girl: *completely pulls string out of popular girl's neck*

Popular Girl: *disappears in a puff of smoke*

Nerdy Girl: ...Oops.

*a decade ago*

Some Lady: I think I'm the only one who can see it.

Friend: See what?

Some Lady: The knitter. It's sitting up on that building there. It's huge, and it's just knitting.

Friend: What does it look like?

Some Lady: It looks big and pregnant. But, it's stomach is made of yarn. It's just knitting. People, animals, buildings, clouds. Millions of things.

Friend: That sounds weird.

Some Lady: I think it's god.

Friend: Mmm.

Some Lady: There's nothing on the horizon. Like, there's nothing beyond it. Everything just starts where it sits. Now that I think of it. I've never been beyond that building. There's nothing but white out that way. Emptiness.

Some Lady: *looks at fuzzy yarn hands*

Friend: *lights up cigarette*

Friend: The I-95 takes you into Baltimore that way. But, you should write a book about that before anyone else does. I'd read it.

Some Lady: I don't like to write about what's on my mind.

The Knitter: *opens third eye on its belly*

*in the present, a week after our initial events*

*missing poster with popular girl's face is blown away by a careless wind*

Nerdy Girl: *stares at string on her desk*
