I am not currently in full control of where and how my money is spent. I therefore cannot donate to gofundmes. It kills me and I wish that I could but I can’t.

Another yearly reminder that badjokesbyjeff and writing-prompt-s harassed actual Palestinians and started the idea that all gfm accounts are ran by a ‘scam ring’. Neither ever apologized and have pretended this never happened as they still post regularly.

(Writing-prompt-s made an ‘apology’ stating any posts about the incident was due to moderators as they hadn’t been running the blog for some time. This post was deleted eventually.)

[kyra45]

You know this is always the post that drags out these trolls. They can’t just keep to themselves and move on. No one even mocked them. I was very late even seeing them! Imagine this is how you spend your days on here. Commenting on posts that tell you about people who hate Palestinians.

Remember everyone: donate to legitimate charities who can do more good for more people with your money instead of blindly trusting some random blog coming into your DMs on Tumblr.

Remember gazavetters consistently has to update blogs marking them as scams and spammers so them being listed does not necessarily mean they have been properly vetted. Many of these blogs are scams.

Stay safe out there.

[kyra45]

There is no “many of these blogs are scams” by the way.

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.

fuck it I will make this my Disability Pride Month Request: if you are able-bodied, or just unfamiliar, look up the prices of things. Look up what life-sustaining medication costs, look up what good manual¹ and any power wheelchairs cost, look up what corrective surgery and accessible vehicles and home meal delivery services and service dog training and special dietary restriction food costs. and look up how much money is available for people who can't work.

how many months of government support does it take to afford something like a power wheelchair if you're someone who needs one to get out of bed? how much expense is incurred while saving up for that, making sure you still get food, cleaning, other appointments while you're saving up? is it enough to pay rent? is it enough to still have nice meals, streaming subscriptions, a new video game? is it enough to help family or friends cover emergencies? are there resources available to help with dating, girl's nights, family events if you can't do it all yourself? how in demand are those services, how far in advance do they have to be reserved, how much do they cost?

I've had a few posts about disability get relatively well-shared at this point, and there's always an element of surprise in it - like, what do you mean there's subscriptions, what do you mean it's that expensive, isn't there something else? - and while I understand why, it would really mean a lot if people who don't know about this stuff took the initiative to find out just how bad some of this shit is on their own time

¹ and not just the folding ones on Amazon, which are still expensive, but which I can say from experience are also really uncomfortable and not suited for full time use

mutual aid and rent relief for S as she battles stage IV breast cancer

some  info:

The country they are currently immigrated to does not allow mutual aid, so this will be our only opportunity to crowdfund. S’ brother, L, is returning home for a week to arrange paperwork for their mother. Once he leaves, I will remove this fundraiser for S and her brother’s safety. Thank you so, so much.

Hello everyone, I am posting this on behalf of my three cousins, who are requesting mutual aid from the people online in more fortunate circumstances. They are three immigrant workers from the global south and medical refugees in a country in West Asia. Currently, my cousin S is fighting stage 4 breast cancer, and due to a deeply upsetting and misogynistic situation, she, alongside her brother and sister, all working class, were forced out of the home they were staying at. 

My aunt recently had the opportunity to come and help S with her illness; Unfortunately, while there, she suffered two heart attacks. I am gathering funds to support S in three ways. First is to extend our aunt's visa as she is in no condition to return home. Second is to alleviate their food and housing insecurity, as their combined income is eaten away by S’ cancer treatments and rent. Third is to pad their emergency funds, as S’ chemotherapy is unavailable in our home country and only available in where they are currently immigrated to.  Again, we are so grateful beyond words for all the help!!

Visa: 1,000 usd

Rent and food alleviation: 500 usd

Emergency funds: 200 usd, anything extra we receive.

Support L

UPDATE:

Hey everyone, an hour after I published this, ko-fi temporarily unpublished the page so I could verify some information with them. Today Ko-fi approved, and donations can be resumed. We are currently 10% of the goal, I also wanted to share some information on S' situation here, here and here. please note the pathology reports are from 2 years ago, and her illness has progressed, but I was told by her doctors her prognosis is still very good/ responsive to treatments.

Can anyone help a black transfem with tech and stability for my teaching job? I only owe 250 in rent and need help with procuring a good computer. If I had to set a goal myself it would 750 for other bills and tech by August, when my class starts.

Please please consider helping me out financially to get my best foot forward as a small time educator. Thank you.

Current Goal: 0/750

I'm probably gonna get yelled at for saying this but sometimes something isn't a real problem in fandom, you just learned a Japanese word describing a general fandom practice and got scared and decided it meant "The Bad Ones" of that practice

[raptorific]

Whenever you see someone being like "we don't mind when women enjoy or even create m/m content, we just hate fujoshis" you are being racist. If you mean "I hate the way some female fans treat gay men like fetish objects" then say that, and we can have a conversation based on that, but "fujoshi" is, I cannot stress this enough, just a word for any woman who likes M/M content, for better or worse. It may have started out as a reclaimed insult (by the way, the insult was based on "liking gay shit makes you perverted and sinful," not "please respect the humanity of gay men") but it does not make a distinction between The Good Ones and The Bad Ones. You just decided to No True Scotsman it and that the English word for that should describe The Good Ones and the Japanese word for it should describe The Bad Ones

Same goes for the people I saw just the other day whose discord server explicitly disallowed "Yaoi" but said that M/M content was allowed. What they meant was "M/M content is allowed as long as it isn't pornographic and fetishistic." What they actually said was "M/M content is allowed, but M/M content is strictly forbidden," and expected you to understand that the Japan-Adjacent term has porn/fetish connotations while the English-language term for THE SAME THING refers to the "normal, non-perverted" version.

It'd be like if you used the word "cartoons" to refer to all Family-Friendly animation, regardless of style or country of origin, whether it's Japanese or American or French or whatever, and used the term "anime" to refer to all animated pornography regardless of style or country of origin. There's plenty of animated pornography that isn't Japanese! There's plenty of anime that's not pornographic! But this is the sort of thing you do when you say shit like "obviously women can read stories about gay men, but NO FUJOSHIS"

[mortimermcmirestinks]

OP is correct and smart for saying this. this is related to/a subset of how people are about non-fandom foreign words, too, like how people say "Christians worship God (good), Muslims worship Allah (bad and scary)" when gues swh. gu. guess what. gues s w hat Allah mea. guess what the word "Allah" means--!!

incredibly bizarre and confusing seeing ppl call themselves "chuds" all the sudden b/c like

thats what we call neo nazis and shitty conservative bros? or at least its what we used to call them? why are ppl calling themselves "chuds" affectionately now

what is happening

yall know chud means fascist right like please tell me yall know that

[acreaturecalledgreed]

im hoping this is a case of "younger folks on the internet adopting Silly Word b/c its Silly and not realizing it actually means something"

so here's me educating! you're calling yourselves fascists! thats what you're doing! maybe don't do that and use your head before you start using every goofy word you see!

[acreaturecalledgreed]

let me be agonizingly clear

when you call yourself and your friends "chuds"

YOU

ARE

CALLING

YOURSELF

takes you by the hand. takes you by the hand so gently and kindly. talking about intersexism and how many oppressive laws primarily target both trans people and intersex people isnt "focusing on cis people" it's centering intersex people in conversations about their oppression. takes your hand so so gently. intersex people arent collateral damage. intersex people should be advocated for without being told they're "making it all about cis people". pats your head gently. you're better than this. you're better than this. stop being intersexist and acting like it's advocacy. stop trying to get intersex people to shut up as if their oppression doesnt matter. takes your hand gently. you're better than that

[we-flew-with-it]

actually this applies to antiBlackness and colorism the same way it applies to intersexism. someone saying "don't forget how this hurts intersex ppl and POC because they are also targets" isnt derailing the conversation because it's the same conversation. youre better than this. and youre also not the most oppressed person on earth

OH MY GOD… TONIGHT BLOOD SUDDENLY CAME OUT OF BABY QAIS'S NOSE.

I’m saying this with a heart that can’t take more pain. If you read this and scroll away, I won’t forgive you. My baby is slipping away.

[savee-baby]

We rushed him to the hospital, where doctors told me the remaining shrapnel had moved deeper into his body, causing dangerous complications. I left knowing his treatment cannot continue without help I simply cannot afford.

[savee-baby]

I am begging you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, watching my baby bleed in front of me, unable to stop it. Please donate now and help me save his life before it’s too late.

Please donate now Gofundme

[savee-baby]

Sadly, doctors told me they could do no more for baby Qais because the treatment he desperately needs is unavailable at the hospital, and I cannot afford to buy it elsewhere. Please donate today and help me bring him the medicine that may ease his suffering.

[savee-baby]

Every day without treatment makes his condition worse, and I am terrified that I am slowly watching him slip away from me. Please donate now—your kindness could help Qais receive the treatment he desperately needs.
