Donations Needed

Making a new post for visibility.

I will not find out about my disability support application until around June 17. I was rejected for emergency assistance due to not currently having an income.

I live with chronic illness and disability and I am asking for help to make it to next month. $1200 CAD will help me secure rent, transportation, medicine, and other essentials.

I'm sorry to ask when things are difficult for just about everyone right now. Every bit helps. Thank you.

GOAL: $459/1200 CAD

Update (June 10):

As always, thank you for sharing and donating. This is an incredibly difficult time for me and I am deeply grateful.

I was not approved for disability, which is common for first time applications 😒 I will be submitting a request for review. I've also received an opportunity for some contract work, with payment starting in July. In the mean time, please continue supporting this post. Every bit helps.

Hello!

I received a bit of income assistance which I'm splitting between essentials and rent. I should also receive some payment for contract work this month. Overall, I still need about $650 CAD to cover my bills for June. Please share this post and donate if you can. Everything must be paid by July 1.

WHO MADE ME AN ANTI BELIEVER?

the way some people treat sex tourism as a joke about losers desperate for sex will never sit right with me

some of the most gruesome sex crimes cases you'll come across are the result of sex tourists, the level of dehumanization involved is not unlike that of a serial killer

[hagiomoto]

It's really irritating that people still get angry and pretend it didn't happen when we say Western media treated Jewish victims of violent crimes better than they treated other non-white victims of violent crimes. They set up task forces to tackle "antisemitism" but don't have any sort of plan or task force when anti-immigrant sentiment has reached an all-time high, to the point of race riots.

What do you call that then? Why are you still afraid to point it out?

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

How The Rise of Androgyny Changed Our Passports

The rise of androgyny and unisex fashion in the 1970s was apparently responsible for the introduction of a sex marker in passports.

[milf--adjacent]

Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.

helpful tattoo reminder: they are technically Injuries so u have to eat a lot of calories drink a lot of water and sleep a lot after so your body can Heal The Injury

[brofisting]

another helpful tattoo reminder: the 24-48 hours after you get a tattoo your brain can not be trusted in regards to whether or not you should have gotten that tattoo, if you have somehow ruined your life, if it turned out ugly, etc. ignore that

[brofisting]

finally, while i am at it: always bring a candy bar and a sugary drink to your appointment for blood-sugar reasons (worst case scenario) or so you can have a treat (unilaterally applicable)

Can I just emphasize that not everyone reading this has yet encountered the information that injuries require food, hydration, and sleep? I think the way many people associate rest and injury is that you rest the injury itself to avoid making it worse, but overlook that the healing process itself requires rest regardless of if not-rest directly injures it further.

Also exercise is a form of controlled injury so that as your body heals it heals stronger. You also need food-hydration-rest for strength and cardiovascular improvements after exercise.
