LGBT family is homeless and needs help! (Pride Edition)
My family is homeless and struggling to find work so we can get out of this situation. I have a lead but it's taking a long time for them to get through the preliminary hiring process so I have no idea how long that could end up taking. In the mean time, we have no income and my wife and I have been dealing with recurring illness and pain every day while struggling to make ends meet. I'm burning out really bad and our support system is almost completely gone at this point.
Right now, we need help covering food, temporary shelter, and important bills/toiletries/etc. We're trying not to lose access to our car and the person who was helping us pay for our phone bill is no longer able to starting this month. Things are worse than they've ever been for us and we've been mostly alone through it. This is urgent. Any amount of help is appreciated.

I also have Zelle. Please no hate or unsolicited advice. I do not have the energy to deal with it so you will be blocked.
We are about to lose access to our car and we really need help with food and shelter. We didn't get nearly enough to make ends meet this weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nothing has been coming in and I have no one else I can reach out to for help. I have one day to get enough for shelter and 3 days before we lose access to our car. We have no food and no where to go. Please, if anyone can help us, even a few dollars from enough people helps.
We have 24 hours to cover our room or we lose shelter again in the morning.

Day 285#: Blunt-Headed Tree Snake
Today's animal of the day is the Blunt-Headed Tree Snake (Imantodes cenchoa)!
Photo credit: Geoff Gallice
Also known as the fiddle-string snake, this species of arboreal snake can be found in the tropical rainforests of Mexico as well as both Central and South America. They can reach a maximum size of 4 ft 11 in long and are known for their long, slender bodies with comically large heads. Their eyes are also incredibly large compared to the rest of their bodies, and take up nearly 26% of their total head space. While this might look really goofy, it actually helps improve their vision significantly compared to other species of snakes, which are known for having very poor eyesight. Most other snakes rely mostly on their sense of smell as well as vibrations to detect predators and prey, but since the blunt-headed tree snake needs to be able to clearly see the branches of the trees it's climbing, they need to have better vision than the average snake. The slitted shape of its pupil even allows it to look down without moving its entire head, which most snakes are unable to do.

Blund-headed tree snakes are active mostly at night, which is another reason they need good eyesight, and will forage through the vegetation in search of prey. Their diet consists mostly of lizards, but they'll also often go after frogs and have been known to eat eggs when the opportunity presents itself. Females tend to be larger than males, meaning that they can take on larger prey. Size isn't the only difference between the sexes. In fact, the populations in the north and south actually seem to exhibit two very different types of sexual dimorphism. Northern males tend to have longer tails than southern males and both types of females, while southern females tend to have much larger heads.

These snakes are members of the Colubrid family, which also includes hognoses, garters, kingsnakes, and many other species of snakes. Like many of its cousins, the blunt-headed tree snake is technically venomous, but they are rear-fanged venomous instead of front-fanged. This is a useful adaptation when a good portion of your diet consists of frogs and toads, but it isn't really well-suited for injecting venom into humans, since it would require letting the snake chew on you for a good while before it could envenomate you. Luckily, even if you did let one chew on you, their venom is pretty mild, and they're not considered dangerous to humans.
Three days ago, this beautiful baby girl (masa) was born. Her name signifies high value and beauty, and it suits her perfectly, for she is very beautiful and dear to all our hearts. She is my brother's second daughter, Iman's younger sister.
Despite the immense joy that has filled our hearts and the delight we feel at the arrival of this new member of our family, we are deeply saddened by the situation of this child and how she will grow up and live her life in Gaza, which is facing genocide.
Gaza is not safe, and this child was born in the worst place in the world. It's not her fault that she's a child who doesn't understand or feel anything, but she was born in Gaza. This is not easy at all. Here, formula, diapers, and all baby supplies are incredibly expensive, even more so than food and drink, due to their scarcity.
I implore you to support me, my family, and this beautiful child who survived a genocide. Please give this child a gift; consider her one of your own. She deserves it just like any other child in the world. Please donate now.
Please help Nader's family to raise the funds they need to support his young niece! Please help them to provide her with all the comfort and care that every infant deserves. <3
I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with
But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy
Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy

In a Shinshu forest in early summer, Ponyalis quadricollis (I think). Insects in the family Lycidae contain toxic substances in their bodies and are considered models for the aposematic mimicry seen in various other insects. It’s interesting to see the distinct differences in the shape of the male and female antennae when they are copulating.

In the heart of Gaza, a family of four clings to survival in the shadow of… Rania A needs your support for Gaza Family Left With Nothing Hel
I never imagined I would have to beg for help to keep my elderly parents alive, but today I have no other choice. My parents suffer from chronic illnesses, including diabetes and high blood pressure, and they desperately need their medications every day. We urgently need to raise $1,000 to buy the medicines that keep them stable and alive. Without these treatments, their health could deteriorate rapidly, and their lives may be at risk. 💔
The pain of watching the people who raised me suffer while I stand helpless is unbearable. Every time they ask about their medication, my heart breaks because I do not know how I will provide it. No child should have to watch their parents grow weaker simply because they cannot afford the medicine they need.😔
The war in Gaza has not ended. Every single day, we continue to live with fear, uncertainty, and the sound of explosions. Airstrikes and shelling still happen regularly, sometimes frighteningly close to where we are. Every day, more lives are lost, more families are devastated, and more people are forced to endure unimaginable suffering. We do not know what tomorrow will bring, and living under this constant threat while trying to care for sick elderly parents is overwhelming.💔😔
Please, I am begging you not to ignore our cry for help. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to buying the medication my parents desperately need. Your kindness could help protect their health and give them a chance to continue fighting their illnesses. In a time when we feel surrounded by fear and uncertainty, your support can give us hope and remind us that we are not alone.🙏💔😔

My friend Ahmed is a studious, curious child, but Israel's genocidal campaign against Gaza has taken everything from him. His family lives out of a damaged tent, and rely on his vetted campaign for survival. They have struggled to afford enough food for many months. His body is starting to break down from this prolonged malnutrition, causing him to live with persistent dizziness, vomiting, and intense pain down to his bones.
Ahmed had been fundraising on @ahmedaldani333, but Tumblr staff deleted his blog without notice or explanation. He moved to @ahmedaldanigg and literally within 30 minutes staff deleted that blog too. He's waiting to try again until tumblr's racist campaign to erase Palestinians dies down. Please help his campaign circulate while he is not here to promote it himself.
The last time he texted me, Ahmed told me that the food prices in Gaza are still rising. He is in agony from hunger, unable to share his own campaign on tumblr, and even the small amount of donations he does receive affords less and less nutritious food. I urge you to keep him in your thoughts and to continue to donate to him so his family can provide consistent food. He is a child. His body is supposed to be growing, not wasting away from hunger. Please help him.
Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?
Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month
It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.
