My name is Dany, and I'm a 26-year old bi and trans individual (ftm, he/they) living in the American south. I've never done this before, but I need help. I'll try not to take too much of your time!
This is a donation post, with the donation link being paypal.me/Dovaah and the goal being $500, so feel free to scroll away if you've no interest, though even a reblog or share is always helpful and appreciated. Further context under the cut:
In January, I had to leave what I know now was an abusive home (it took being away from it for more than 2 weeks to realize that, no, being screamed at and having things thrown/taken/destroyed wasn't normal). In doing so, I left the only home I've known for over two decades- left the town, even left the state. I packed what would fit in a duffel and a trash bag and ever since my leaving, I've been sleeping on the floor and couch of my siblings' apartment until I can afford my own mattress. I was employed and tried to transfer, but after two months of desperately trying to get it rolling, I've finally had to completely give up as I'm getting nothing but runaround. As my employment was primarily in another state, I can't file for unemployment, since I'm residing here now.
I'm still trying to find employment, but job hunting doesn't pay bills. I have no income for food, for water, for medicine.
I've nothing to offer for any help offered, only gratitude for any who donate, share, or even simply read. But I'm hoping if I can at least raise $500, I can use that for a down payment on an apartment with my partner, which would bring me back into a city with some guaranteed jobs to choose from.
If you can spare anything at all, even a few cents, please absolutely donate anything you can and want to. It's not an expectation or obligation to do so, but it would be so incredibly helpful. Even if you've no money yourself, just a share or reblog can help more than you may realize. The best place to donate is here:

I have $66 to make last indefinitely, but I'm going to use a few dollars of that to Blaze this, in hopes of it reaching more people... I really hope this works.
If you're able to donate, you can do so here:
Regardless of how much or little this posts helps, please know I'm so very thankful for even reading this far, and I hope things get better soon, for all of us.
They could be really useful now.
I can't currently have a job since I am studying and adhd and autism make it really hard to concentrate on it, figures if I start working too. I have a lot of expenses because I am doing the stuffs to get on hrt and I have some money (for now!) but I wouldn't like to end up having to ask my mother for money (since we already struggle).
DO NOT feel pressured though, please. It is neither urgent nor necessary, but it would take some stress away from me.
Here are the places where I have some spots open if you want to consider me for your art:
VGen
Ko-Fi
I am aware they're messy but.. Yeah, I took like... two commissions in my whole life lol. You can see more of the stuff I draw on here though!
we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
Punch Nazis! Unless the Nazi runs for the Senate and is like, really totally so sorry about having been a Nazi that he only covered up his Nazi Tattoo when it became public knowledge
genuinely so funny that i made a post saying "people on tumblr think its more immoral to kill a spider than a jew" and then people with a history of harassing me decided to prove my point
