Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

Click here to support Help a Disabled Activist Get Through the Month

My name is Mara Lee and I am a Disabled (Autistic, CPTSD, anxiety, depression, other specified dissociative disorder, borderline, atypical bulimia) activist and writer. My main activity regarding activism is my anti-saneism blog, "This Is for You, Carrie"...

Hi, all. Mod Amaranthe here.

I hate do do this. I really, really, really hate to do this, especially on this blog, but I need help.

I left my last job because my supervisor wouldn’t stop triggering my PTSD, even after mediation by HR, and I am now unemployed. I’ve been trying to freelance to get by, but I have run out of savings and need help to get meds and therapy this month.

Please signal boost.

[13th-postcard-from-the-wall-dea]

So I realized that first “help I’m screwed” post got prohibitively long

Bullet point form:

-I’m multiply Disabled (Autistic with MDD, GAD, abuse-related CPTSD, and OsDD)

-I went into a PhD program for cancer biology straight out of college, had to take a medical leave because my CPTSD was kicking my ass, got a full neuropsych eval and was finally diagnosed with all my disabling conditions (except MDD, which I’d already been diagnosed with during an involuntary psych ward stay during college)

-After getting back to my PhD program and sticking with it for ~1.5 years, I was forced to switch to the master’s program because ableist faculty members thought I wasn’t “emotionally stable” enough for a PhD after I had an Autistic meltdown brought on by an intense post-traumatic flashback in lab, so that meant no more PhD student stipend/no more income

-My credit cards are all maxed out from therapy bills because one of the conditions of me returning to my program was seeing a school-approved therapist who was out of network, so I don’t even have that as a cushion now

-I don’t qualify for unemployment and am too ~*~high-functioning~*~ to qualify for disability

-My school fucked up and failed to pay me all of the PhD student stipend that I was owed (I’m supposed to be paid 2 weeks in arrears, but for my last paycheck, they paid me only 1 week)

-I have to move back in with my CPTSD-causers (my parents) on 3/21/16 because I couldn’t find work even with a bloody damn master’s in the biomedical sciences

-I still am on the hook for rent this month and couldn’t afford it; I paid half of it because hell it was better than nothing

-I need $401; $206 for rent, $50 so I can have a minimum balance of $25 in my both my checking and savings accounts so I don’t get charged fees because fuck banks in this country, $75 to cover my last three psych health provider appointments (copay of $25 for each of three appointments), $10 for transportation to and from the appointment with my psychiatrist (I can walk to the two remaining appointments with my talk therapist, but I can’t drive because autism and have to take a train to see my psychiatrist), and $60 for the minimum credit card payment due mid-March (I forgot about this last thing when I updated my last post).

So, that’s the situation. I am about to be forced back into a toxic, unsafe environment, but there are necessary living expenses I can’t afford right now. I am at risk of being evicted before moving and I cannot function without therapy or medication (I have enough meds to get me through the move, but I have to see my psychiatrist to get more prescriptions in case I can’t find a new medication provider just after the move).

Tumblr, please help me raise $401 so I can stay sane and functional, and not get evicted.

Ways you can help:

-my PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=AlD-mXnhdf6yQiUR_RqJ4N_eZyvKW1hJ0vFp76hZnUtrZu6XmH6r6NWpEJO&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8defcd6970d4fd9d661117ac2649af92bb Anyone who donates $10 or more will get a song. There are three song options: 1) good-natured parody/filk, 2) a cover with pronouns/names/etc. switched to make the song queer, or 3) a song in the style of Google Translate Sings. Examples can be found here https://soundcloud.com/user-208443600 and the versions my donors get will be WAY more polished, I promise.

I am not comfortable including more personal details or an image because my abuser tries to keep close tabs on my online presence, but she doesn’t know about Tumblr. So while I am literally begging for signal boosts, please only signal boost on Tumblr or in personal messages on other social networks. If you aren’t comfortable donating to someone who doesn’t provide a picture or personal information, please contact me at [email protected] and I can provide more evidence that I am a real destitute Disabled person and not a scammer.

Dear Tumblr,

I need your help. I really badly need your help.

I am a multiply Disabled student studying molecular diagnostics. I began pursuing a PhD in several years ago, but was only diagnosed with one of my 5 disabilities (MDD) at the time and did not disclose to my school for fear of being victimized by the ableism in the medical/industrial complex. I was forced to take a leave of absence because my symptoms were so severe and I didn’t have disability accommodations. During the leave, I was diagnosed with CPTSD (from childhood/adolescent/adulthood parental abuse) and GAD, and my suspicion of over a decade that I am Autistic was confirmed. One of the conditions of my return was that I begin seeing a therapist approved by the head of student behavioral health.

The therapist I had to see was out of my insurance network, anti-diagnosis, and forced me to pay full price ($275) every time I missed an appointment because I did not have the executive function to make it there or because I was hitting my monthly 8 or 9 on the Mankoski pain scale. (I probably have endometriosis but I doubt I can afford to be tested or treated.)

I’m in trouble now. Recently, I was finally allowed to switch to a therapist who is in my insurance network after finally being forced to transfer to the master’s program. (And I got my diagnosis of Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder.) But I currently am $6,580 in debt because of therapy bills. I have to make monthly payments instead of being expected to pay it all back at once, but my grad student stipend is small (and I will lose it after the end of this year) and I have had to be late on rent the past two months. Yesterday I paid my electric bill–a bit higher than usual because of the cold–and had to overdraw my bank account. That was the last straw that forced me to turn to this.

Tumblr, I need to be done with this therapy debt. I need $6,580. There is a PayPal donate button on my page and I am asking for whatever you can give. Any donation of at least $10 will get a song. I don’t want to ask something for nothing, so I will be offering one of three types of songs (good-natured parody, a cover with pronouns/names/etc. switched to make the song queer, or a Google Translate Sings song). Examples of the first two kinds are here (the Google Translate Sings song isn’t ready yet) https://soundcloud.com/user-208443600. The final products requested by donors will be much more polished, I promise. If PayPal is being uncooperative and not showing the space where you can type your song request, you can email me your request at [email protected].

I’m not comfortable including a picture of myself, my real name, or more personal information for fear that my abuser will find it. If you are suspicious of this and wondering whether or not it’s a scam or what have you, feel free to email me and I can share more with you on a more secure channel. I would also like to literally beg readers to reblog but not to post/share this on any social network other than Tumblr because my abuser is rather unfamiliar with this site.

I may be about to lose my income and my insurance, and regardless of whether or not either of those happen, I will have to start paying off my student loans from undergrad. I am completely at a loss for what to do. Please help me, and if you can’t, please reblog.

What people think privilege means: Having a shit ton of money.

What privilege REALLY means: Not having to worry about the shitty and horrible things that can happen to you just because of your existence.

[novelconcepts]

I don’t want to live any longer in this world of “the customer is always right.” This is a world that shows the aggressive, the bull-headed, the cruel that they have full license to behave like beasts to get what they want. Half the time, they’re even rewarded for it; “here, ma'am, so sorry for the trouble, please accept this gift card–no charge.”

I want to live in a world that punishes these childish adults as you punish a toddler throwing a tantrum. No candy for you, Jimmy; you’re going home to bed if you can’t mind yourself in public.

Throw a hissy fit because your cashier isn’t moving as fast as you’d like? Find yourself gently escorted from the store until you can show some basic compassion and patience.

Hurl a pen across the table at your signing agent? You’ve just forfeited your right to refinance your mortgage this week. Try again when your temper is managed.

Scream obscenities at the Taco Bell rep because you know it’ll earn you a free soft shell? Here’s your money back; please feel free to play again when you’ve realized fast food is not worth more than the price of human dignity.

I am so sick of accepting–and, in truth, rewarding–these callous behavior patterns in customer service industries. The fact is, the customer is not always right. The customer is often just testing to see what he can get away with. Stop pandering to spoiled children, and show your employees they have more value than their red polo, or how much abuse they can withstand in a 40-hour week.

We are here to provide a service and to make a living.

We are not your punching bags.

[the-last-rat-standing]

I really do feel we’re going to get to a breaking point soon, where a big business finally stands up and says, “Enough. This is not rewarding the customers who have been loyal and decent all these years.” 

Not only is the customer not always right, they’re rarely right.

When you go to a haunted house, it may seem like you’re being funny by trying to scare the actors or jump out at them when you go through a second time, but guess what? ITS NOT FUNNY.

You pay us to scare you. It is your choice to go, so don’t fucking go through if you’re going to ignore the rules and get too close to the actors as a ‘joke’.

These bruises happened because over the course of 4 hours, several people ignored the instructions that CLEARLY stated that they were to wait in the front room until told otherwise. Rather than listen, they ran into the next room and slammed into me- effectively throwing me into the wall. This didn’t only happen once. It happened ten times at LEAST.

Then we had this asshole who thought that once I ‘died’ for the haunt, he could pretend to kick me to see if I’d moved. I, being used to people abusing me- jumped back and slammed my head into the concrete wall.

YOU ARE NOT FUNNY BY BEING RUDE AT A HAUNTED HOUSE. WE ARE PAID ACTORS THAT YOU CHOOSE TO COME AND SEE PERFORM. YOU PAY US TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU, SO DONT HIT US WHEN WE DO

I feel that this is relevant considering it is October and more Haunted Houses are opening up. I know it seems funny to scare the ‘monsters’ but all you do is hurt real people. So stop.
