please don't follow me if you're under 20. no race in bio, no follow back.
i block extremely freely.
check '/tagged/byf' and '/tagged/important' so as not to be blindsided by my outspokenness on certain topics.
you can ask for my Discord if we're mutuals. i play Guild Wars 2 quite a bit.
we didn't receive enough help with rent so i was only able to put in a partial payment. my bank account is in the negatives now. utility bill later this month. still falling behind on owed rent too. monthly rent is now $1,097.
for this disability pride month, please consider providing a disabled lesbian couple some reprieve from the sisyphean treadmill of bills and back rent, pretty please <3
okay negative balance has been fixed thanks to friends, thank you so so much!! <3
we're a couple dollars away from having enough for the utilities bill.
job onboarding is still stalled so continued help with keeping up with rent and paying off back rent would be greatly appreciated, it's going to take us a while to catch up on our own. thank you again.
Roberto da Costa has one of the longest lists of inconsistent (and often whitewashed) art in Marvel Comics, honestly.Ā
Heās a biracial Black and Portuguese Brazilian dude who takes after his fatherā¦
ā¦And yet he is all too frequently subjected to skin lightening and hair straightening by artists. (As well as just like, entire facial restructure. I seriously will never get past how much he looks like Bruce Wayne in New Avengers.)
Sunspot was created during a time when Claremont started to sayĀ āfuck metaphorsā and write stories directly involving racism. (Some pretty good, some absolute trash, but thatās neither here nor there.) The amount of Latine/Hispanic superheroes that existed could be counted off with a single hand, (not that there are a hell of a lot more since,) and creating a character likeĀ Bobby brings new rep and new voices into the X-Men. Bobby makes his way through the world with a number of labels; Black, Latino, Mutant, and it gets complicated for him sometimes. They can intertwine with each other; his mutant powers manifested under duress from the racism he was facing. Itās something that a lot of readers can relate to. (Itās also not the entirety of his character, but rather just a piece of it.) It makes all the things he overcomes so much more powerful; this is a boy who grows up to be a major Avengers player, despite so many people telling him he was destined to be a villain just like his father. But his whitewashing really subtracts from all that.
It also really pisses me off when people cherry-pick whitewashed art and use it as a defence for whitewashed casting in the X-Men movies. (Heās been played by two different actors at this point, neither of which are Black.) Itās comparing whitewashing to whitewashing.
And I would just like to remind everyone that the full blame for this huge phenomenon far beyond just him cannot be put on the artists, but editors, too. (See:Ā Lighten Up by Ronald Wimberly)

poll to make this less "woe is me" (though please do not get it twisted. its at least a little woe is me. but look theres a button to press)
would you consider yourself a pessimist, optimist, or realist?
itās such a basic part of the reality of disabled people as a whole but itās STILL so hard to get ppl to understand that some people will simply die without 24/7 care. their care is not for comfort, itās not for fun, itās literally a matter of life and death. āif their care was taken away iām sure theyād learn to suck it up like the rest of us!ā ā something ive heard time and time again. no they wouldnāt, they would die. they HAVE died. they continue to die as cuts are made to welfare and health. why is this so impossible for people to grasp.

hi. im currently living in an abusive environment and its. bad. i had surgery awhile back and still have a huge wound that nearly spans into my intestines because it's taking a long time to heal and they didn't want to close me up. i had no choice but to move back here. my mom promised that she would help me with stuff while i recover but she yells at me every time i ask for help with anything and im not capable of doing any of it by myself without further injuring myself
i need help. i cant afford housing rn bc donos have been difficult and idk if i can get a caregiver but if i could at least get help with basic expenses like food and getting my phone activated and saving up for if (when lbr) i need a quick escape i would really appreciate it
love you all. sorry i keep getting into these situations - just really hard to stay stable and housed when you're severely disabled without irl support

I have been unemployed for nearly a full year now, and I have been denied unemployment. As such, I have bills and living expenses piling up, and I've been trying to afford new clothes as well. Reblogs are appreciated, and every donation really helps me out!!! <3 <3 <3
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 still begging for my life here. The 400 dollars i have on me is still all I have to my name. I have an apartment in 400 dollars. My tuition refund will determine if I requalify for housing in SEPTEMBER.
Thats a big looming if over my head, hence the size of the gofundmes. I'm still housing vulnerable. The teaching job is still a snowball. I wont be paid but a hundred dollars in August by it.
Please uplift me. I only stand to pay things forward.
(past: cf1 cf2) dont ignore, leaving me to fend for myself in a dangerous & impossible situation. current goals: $40 July 20th. $871.82 & $41 July 24th. $70-$100 asap. INFO UNDER THE READ MORE. HELP ME IF YOU ARE ABLE.
ca vn kofi bmac gfm throne paylinks
goals are for debt repymts/credit card repayments. the asap goal is for litter, toiletries & any other necessities needed (including taxes/fees & tip for delivery).
past crowdfunds which are linked above have info & proof if u need as well as my carrd lists bills i have to cover.
im drowning, i don't know how else to cry out. i have debt & bills to pay. cultists to keep off my back. a cat thats so low on litter its a health hazard. dont assume ill magically be ok, if i dont get help in time things will get worse. the more my situation is ignored, the more likely i will eventually die &/or become homeless.
i cant catch up long enough to be able to do much of anything and every fucking day where i live is an abuse rollercoaster. no one's hiring me. ive been isolated away from public resources. im being pushed into more debt the longer it takes to pay everything back.
selling my own belongings is taking forever as i cant ship shit and must rely on lowballing locals around me. my disabilities & my situation make it nigh impossible to focus or create in terms of art/commissions because im not a statue and everything is affecting me as every day things escalate to life or death.
all meanwhile i have to be extra careful to not expose too much of any type of information online or i endanger myself further as stalkers and harassers are determined to have my head on a pike for the crime of being stuck under severe abuse my whole life without proper means to escape.
i appreciate my current friends mutuals and everyone else for helping when they can but im stuck bc when i show my appreciation in my posts Everytime outsiders decide that means im good on everything forever now! which is not ever true, at least thus far! i still massively need help i just like saying thank you!
sorry this is so disjointed im in tears and so stressed writing this trying to prepare myself for the hell i have to go through today especially. im so tired of struggling and nothing seems to work on my end i want out so bad but this cult and debt have me stuck while others try to paint me as deserving of all this bc they find me cringe or bc they cant understand my type of situation so to them it Must be fake.
im slowly but surely dying here and im so tired of ignoring that Fact while i continue to waste away for the sake of others. the harsh truth of the matter is this road leads to death when i can't get help, a job, use any disability aids, have to walk to get anywhere in blistering heat, dont get to eat constantly, barely have any privacy, cant say anything considered as the wrong thing or step out of line in the slightest. so i apologize when i dont know what to fucking do from here!
and i havent even mentioned in this post yet how they keep me coked up either.
so please, please. anything helps but i can't keep going days and days with only or mostly notes to show on these posts.
and Again im sorry this is deliriously cobbled together in a rush. contemplating suicide all fucking morning hasnt left me in the best headspace either.
Please Help. $214.14* still due tomorrow July 24th at 8am PST my time. ive also been braving the heatwave outside everyday. so i rly need to pay all borrow off ideally so im not always on the backfoot while trying to stay hydrated, fed & alive. appreciate everything dearly.
(*230.20 now bc i had to use borrow to pay borrow. going to put the $ i get to pay off whatever is due first. info in comments! ill update this more if/when needed.)
My name is Tawi, and Iām reaching out for help for myself and my girlfriend. I know youāve probably seen my fundraisers floating around before, and while I am still working doing art commissions, itās hard for me to get hired anywhere in a wheelchair. Both my girlfriend and I are disabled and I myself am currently living in a food desert, where itās nearly impossible to find affordable groceries, safe sidewalks, or reliable healthcare. The sidewalks in our area are so poorly maintained that my wheelchair motor is constantly at risk, it's the fifth time it's broken and everytime it breaks its a $500 repair, and the lack of accessible housing and medical care has made daily life a real struggle for me. Furthermore, the house that Iāve been staying in for the last year has five flights of stairs, including the first two to get into the building, and itās been a nightmare getting in and out of the house with my wheelchair.
On top of all the expenses needed to move, I also have a sick kitty that Iām caring for, and the vet has recently located a tumor where her kidney is, and sheās continuing to pee blood even after her round of antibiotics, and sheās having an increasingly hard time keeping weight on.
Id like to move to a state where I can finally access better healthcare for me and my cat, find a place I can actually afford thatās not on the third floor, and live in a community where I can get around safely. The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward moving expenses, car insurance, gas, securing a new place to live, and covering the gap in healthcare coverage during my transition. Some of you may recall when I was hatecrimed a year and some change back, where my belongings were trashed and my wheelchair and crutches were stolen, this money would also be going to help me find community in a more accepting area where I no longer have to live with strangers and be at risk for something like this happening again. Every bit of support will help us take this important step toward a safer, healthier, and more independent life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. Even if youāre not able to donate, just sharing our fundraiser means the world to us and brings us closer to our goal, and puts me in a more stable financial situation to complete the last year of my bachelorās degree! Your kindness and support truly make a difference.
hii everyone. my gf has been having a really severe go of it this year (and honestly the last several)
i would really like to get her out to here my state where she can have more thorough medical access + generally be someplace more affordable and with community that takes her health and wellness seriously as a disabled black trans person. please consider helping her get a little bit of stability in a really rough time, and please share š
