haven’t posted on here in a while. i’m posting today because i’m in extreme need of help with my rent.
i’m a vulnerable trans masc and i’m facing potential homelessness and i have set up a gofundme so if anyone is able to spare a bit of change to help me out, i’d really appreciate it.
i put some of my interests in the tags to hopefully find people with similar interests that might help me out :)
Hi everyone !
So I am a trans masc bisexual that has been renting in Leeds. I’ve b… mars amendolara nolan needs your support for Help Mars
I want to see you naked? Yes That's cool. But also i want to see you in the morning with puffy eyes, messy hair and baggy clothes? That's the real deal. 🥺
"You can't make them - whoever your particular them is - do anything, really," said Ekaterin slowly. "Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. ... You have to just...take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that, and walk away. But that's hard."
the “humans are inherently selfish” fanclub can genuinely and in all honesty go to hell. i once came back from a school yard where the kids had heaped piles of leaves and cut wildflowers on a narrow strip of grass bc a bee had died. i actually want to cry.
when i was a child, my parents told me our houseplant would die of lack of sunlight. i was so young i don’t even remember this, but apparently, my response to this was starting to carry the plant around like an emotional support stuffed animal. whenever my family went outside i would hold the pot on my head to make it reach the sun better. i wasn’t in school yet, didn’t have any exposure to the lessons on caring they give in elementary, i don’t remember my thought process - but i can guess. kids integrally care about things, even tiny bugs and inanimate plants. humans care.
as someone in my 40s, may i also add: if they beat it out of you? put in the work to relearn it until it’s a part of you again. a part you’re proud enough of that if someone tells you it’s dumb and you should stop, you can laugh and say “oh, no. no, i don’t believe i will.” and then keep on keepin’ on.
compassion can often be a skill that needs to be relearned. so relearn it and revel in it.
I’ve listened to well over 100 hours of podcasts from a lot of different genres so I’m gonna give you some recommendations. These will all be audio dramas so no ttrpgs or conversation podcasts. I’ll include a short description, the amount of episodes they have as I’m writing this (not including bonus content), if it’s finished, and probably my own little thoughts about it cus I have too many thoughts. Please feel free to add any podcasts you recommend that I didn’t include I’m always looking for more!!
Recommendations under the cut. Fair warning there’s a lot

I wont go anywhere. you pull me closer to your chest and I ask myself if my body could break when you would hold it tight enough. will I ever get used to being loved in all the right ways?
tell me about your day, tell me about how the midnight sky made you think about the sparkle in my eyes when I talk to you, tell me about how the flowers on your neighbours balcony made you stand outside in the pouring rain because it made you think about how much you miss loving me in summer. I wont go anywhere. tell me you will stay. tell me about how our love will last.
the only hands I want to touch me are yours. will I ever get used to being held this gentle? to be touched and hugged by hands and arms other than mine? my head is lying on your chest and I can feel my heart taking root in my body. almost like it has finally found peace. when you look into my eyes, I can feel hundreds of butterflies pounding against my rib cage, begging to be let out to build a home within your heart and soul. you seem to love me by daylight, not only on midnights and fridays, you seem to love me, body and soul. when you touch me, I start to wonder if heaven exists and maybe there is a god and maybe I am worthy of grace, and maybe my prayers to be saved are the reason you love me as if it was your religion. within you, I discovered something I don’t even have a name for. I won’t go anywhere. I see your smile and think about how sometimes not even eternity will be enough. I will keep on searching for you across every lifetime. I won’t go anywhere.
