If I had a nickel for every time two witches had a relationship that was clearly framed as romantic, with clear romantic tropes, but was then straight blocked due the hetero agenda. I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I'm gonna say it here too. Allow me to be crystal fucking clear.
It is not cowardly to stay in the closet. Full stop. You do not owe anyone any part of yourself you aren't ready to share
If you unable to come out because you fear for your safety or well-being or because you know it will cause you substantial discomfort, that is not a defect in you. It's a failure of the society in which you live and the community surrounding you.
If you just don't want to share that part of yourself, that is valid and I support you
I want to preface this by saying this is not victim blaming. This not calling people online lazy or grifting or whatever.
But an underlooked proponent on why some people are nearing homeless and crowdfunding heavily rn is bc society has failed you by making it as inconvenient as possible to learn about social systems and programs that already exist to help your situation as well as not having enough programs and aid.
Lemme give some examples. I have been unemployed for 10 months. My mom told me about a paying job training program a month ago after I already decided to mive in with her to find work, because nothing was coming up in my own city. My best friend didn’t know about affordable housing assistance in my state until she talked to my dad about it on a chance encounter. Some people on here have to see posts about much cheaper alternatives to their current prescriptions or medical plans because its not in the interest of their doctors paychecks to tell them about it. I would have waited to get vaccinated and not have crowdfunded for Uber money if I had known they were going to give free vaccine rides the next month. But I wouldn’t have really known this until I opened the app once that program started, because it is in their interest to keep taking my money until its their desired time for me to reap their “generous” services.
What I’m trying to say is that this is an under discussed aspect of how capitalism fails people. When you are forced to make your life and work and finances so singular and self interested, you are cut off from community and equivalent social services to proper government assistance. You literally don’t know that there is help somewhere out there for you unless you’re told.
I believe a professor I had called this “cultural wisdom” but I haven’t been able to find the social science articles that expanded on this. It’s a practical knowledge of local systems that allows someone to function and thrive in that system. The example she used was having an understanding that banks can hold your money, but the practical aspect of accessing your money (in a convenient and easy manor) was knowing about ATMs and how to use them. But unless you have an account or someone ready to inform you, there’s no dedicated time or milestone where someone learns this.
And that’s just with a machine designed to give you YOUR money, let alone complex social service programs.
I want everyone who crowdfunds for hospital bills to know they probably don’t have to oay them at all. Just find the financial aid office of the hospital. It’s on the website BY LAW. Find the form. Fill it out. Get the bills canceled or lowered! You don’t need crowd money, you need the government’s money that’s already set aside for your medical care.
GO TO, MESSAGE, OR CALL YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. Libraries are focusing more and more on community resources, support, and outreach. If you genuinely don’t know something or feel uncertain or are in a new situation, a reference librarian will not only help you sort your thoughts through their reference interview but then help you arm yourself with knowledge from reliable and often local sources. It doesn’t even have to be a question to Ask A Librarian. You can simply say “I’m in this situation now. I don’t know what to do next./I’m not confident I know everything I should or want to know.”
More tips:
Bookmark the your city’s webpage and check it any time you might need something that you don’t know how to get. Your city may have a social worker at city hall whose job is specifically to help you with that. Your city probably has a coronavirus task force page with info about free testing and vaccine clinics.
Read your local newspaper; there’s usually a local community paper that is free online or set out in front of businesses that will have about 60% ads, 20% random gossip, 10% news, and 10% local info/programs/opportunities that they have crammed in random corners to fill space. My job used to literally be laying out this kind of paper, and one of the things that I was always doing was checking for “free X day in a ten mile radius” so I wouldn’t have a weird gap on the science page.
Check if your city has an adult education program. My city offers free adult literacy classes that also have a lot of practical financial information.
Check your *county* website for resources. This will usually be a bit farther away but you might find out that you qualify for free bus passes in the whole county, or that there’s a meals on wheels plan that is supported in your area that you can sign up for.
If it is possible for you, enroll for a low-unit class at a community college. Community college are inexpensive, you may qualify for fee waivers, there are flexible class schedules, and if you are taking even just a couple units at a time at a community college you count as an enrolled student at that school - which means that you get access to the health services center (basic nurse visits, diagnostics, prescriptions, and blood tests at little to no cost - I paid nothing when my college health services nurse practitioner x-rayed my chest and diagnosed me with pneumonia then gave me antibiotics when I didn’t have insurance), counseling, students-in-need programs, and a bunch of other random shit. My school is currently giving a $150 bookstore voucher to students who provide proof of covid vaccination - the bookstore sells clothing, food, and electronics in addition to books. That is a LOT of stuff that you can get if you’re able to pay $40-100 a term and can take a class at a time. It’s a lot easier plan for the cost of enrolling in a semester at a community college than it is to plan for an unexpected doctor’s visit or an expense that leaves you low on food.
If you are ALREADY a student at any college or university, go to the student services page on the website and see what they’ve got. A shocking number of students don’t know that their schools offer food assistance and often work with local food pantries.
Every time someone asks me why I'm not on disability.
Because I'm married.
This is why I roll my eyes when anyone says we have marriage Equality now. Because we fucking don't, and ultimately, the lie that we have marriage Equality is mostly used as a shut-me-up in the queer rights discussion (not that this is what this post is about, but there's overlap and honestly if you're queer and don't stand in solidarity for equal rights for disabled folk, you need to examine your empathy cuz it's the same fucking boot on all our necks)
There is a bill in congress right now that will allow disabled people on ssi to marry and will raise the income cap to 10k as well as many other good things. It's called the ssi restoration act of 2021. It won't fix everything but it's a step in the right direction for disabled people in the US.
If you are in the US and go to the link below, you can send a letter to your state reps in support of the bill. It takes 2 minutes to do!

My stomach HURTS!
Chuck Berry
Rock n Roll was originally Black music.
thank you
Yes, him and little Richard never get their due smh
except…chuck berry didn’t invent rock n roll…
Sister Rosetta Tharpe predates both chuck berry and little richard by quite a few years
Two of Tharpe’s hit songs were released in like 1944-45 when Chuck Berry was a) incarcerated and b) still a high school student, Tharpe basically discovered Little Richard, and she’s referred to as the godmother of rock n roll
lol just
throwin that out there
^^^EXACTLY
but Sister Rosetta was a woman and queer… so Black men will totally overlook her.
rock music was created by a black bisexual woman
She influenced them all.
in bold!!!^^^^
when i first heard sister rosetta fucking tharpe. oh my god. she was making rock and roll in like the 40s.
I just have this feeling that we’re meant to be together. Who’s to say that we’re not?

Look at this living embodiment of dad jokes. Too pure. Too corny. Too ankle-socked and sandal-ed for this world….😂😂😂
Cast Amber Riley as Elphaba in the Wicked movie you cowards! She’s unbelievable! I still can’t believe I was lucky enough to see her in Dreamgirls in the west end. And I will never be over how incredible her voice is, she would be such a good Elphaba!
Lauren Lane, everyone ✨
Ah…..I’m bi. Got it. Understood.
That snap you hear is my neck, that’s all. Don’t mind me dying over here, I’ll be fine. No really, I’m good…..

Never forget that the War on Drugs was fabricated to criminalize certain communities.
The quickest descent into fascism occurs when the criminalization of innocent, nonviolent activities is combined with a surveillance state to “clean up crime”.
(x)
It’s also very important to look at how these laws are used.
For the laws criminalizing pot, white people (usually youth) often get off with a slap on the wrist, but BIPOC get harsh sentences, including prison time. Same goes for traffic offences (including DUI). Also laws for loitering, gangs and so on are used much more often against BIPOC - people are being denied their freedom of movement or just being allowed to be out in public without being afraid of being arrested.
To the anonymous guest that wrote this review,
THANK YOU.
I didn’t want to give you false hope by updating my fic with a thank you post, but I needed to express my appreciation. It’s been a hard year. Hell, it’s been a hard two years. Writing has been on my mind, but the furthest priority. Thank you for reminding me that you’re still with me. Thank you for reading and expressing your love for my writing.
Thank you for being so inspiring. I’m writing as we speak. What would I do without kind people like you?
😊😊😊
