Very important announcement! (Last post) PLEASE READ!!

So I got an email back from some nice people who have been helping me. They worked with me and my mom to make sure we could get through our goal so we are close to getting out of the streets! (along with you guys help too thank you!)

I was informed we just need $530 that way we can get the full help that we need so me and my mom can finally get everything we need to be stable 😭 I was so happy to read the email this morning!! I'm so close I'm serious this time!! I'm so close to getting a normal life again!! So I need everyone's help one last time!! I just need $530 and I'll finally get the help I should've gotten since shelters in my area were unresponsive and ghosted me which was frustrating. I can get a car ride, finally get a damn truck, I can get clothes, I can go grocery shopping, get my medication all of it!! No more homelessness, no more heatstrokes, no more hospital visits, nomore sleeping in the rain and floor, no more anxiety being in the dark at night.

SO PLEASE HELP ME GET TO MY GOAL!!

Hello everyone, this is not a usual post but it is very important. ICE has recently taken my friend's aunt. She was at an immigration hearing. She had her papers. Yet they still took her anyway. If Sindia is deported her safety will be in immense jeopardy and her son, who is only a young child, will be surrendered to the system and seperated from his mother. Their family is looking to raise $10,000 for legal defence, emergency housing and safety so that she is able to remain in the US with her son.

They have currently raised only $1,000 of their goal. If you are able to, please donate what you can. Every single dollar can go a long way. If you are not in a position to donate, please share this post and help boost the fundraiser. Thank you and FUCK ICE. 🫶

Donate to Help Sindia Stay and Raise Her Son in Safety, organized by Jazmina and Carina

The news that Sindia might be taken away from us has shattered everyo… Jazmina and Carina needs your support for Help Sindia Stay and Raise

The human body's response to HRT is actually admirable in the sheer indifference. Just pure I Don't Give A Shit, I Just Fucking Work Here compliance to the new instructions. You can get testosterone injected straight into your body and it doesn't even question where that shit came from, coming back from a coffee break and just going

"Okay, everything seems to be in ord- oh fuck now what? Oh huh. Alright fine. New orders came in, cancel the menstrual cycle. Dig up the genetic balding patterns from somewhere, I don't fucking know they're buried somewhere in the dna. I'm greenlighting the growing-hair-on-your-toes thing. Yeah just cancel the ongoing maintenance processes, new orders came in so this is apparently what we're doing now."

genuinely i think a big problem with science education is we spend too much time in high school telling students DNA is like, the Magical Essence of an Organism.

dna is mostly just instructions for building proteins, and not very persuasive ones at that. it sits in the nucleus of the cell, and what happens after RNA transcription isn't any of its business. this is a good thing! it means we can override it sometimes when we need to (and when we know how). but a lot of rhetoric around DNA (and therefore gender and sex and morphological freedom in general) treats it like this Platonic sorcery that must be obeyed, lest we incur the wrath of the gods. and it's nothing so special!

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

sometimes being a hater will make you feel like you're an intellectual and probably a secret genius because of how much other people around you are visibly not being a hater about the exact same things. maybe even later your haterism becomes justified and the tide of culture and conception shifts and you think see? see? I continuously outscale my peers in the brains department. but you have to understand that being a hater is often a deliriant. it makes you feel smart on occasion in the same way huffing glue may make you think you're god. there's a fine balance here we must all take into account

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

It’s a win win. I get a bit of hope, you get a cute birb photo

All the Troubles of the World by Isaac Asimov. This one made me lie awake in bed all night for like a week after hearing it - our 8th grade teacher read it out loud to us one day in class. At the end of the year before we 'graduated' I remember going back and asking her. I still have her note in my scrapbook with the name of the story so I could look it up on my own (along with some other book recommendations and the book she had been reading to us but hadn't finished - The Wind Singer.

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely
