Please help your local disabled queer not get homeless

Repost from my other account @queervegancryptid

Hello, one and all. I'm Nik, I'm super poor, and I relapsed into anorexia last year and have had to basically do a diy recovery that has involved multiple breakdowns before and since the election. My partner is also dealing with health issues, and I'm waiting to find out if a hysterectomy is going to be medically necessary for me in the next few months. My chronic pain issues and a lot of anxiety and PTSD issues are worsening lately, and I have unmedicated ADHD because I'm between psychiatrists. He's taken care of me a lot in the last year, which is also a factor. I have returned the favor as best I can.

In short, we're both struggling and trying our best, but it's not enough, and so as much as I hate doing it, I need help, so I have to ask.

I get $980 a month in disability pay. My partner works doing Uber and a variety of other gigs, which worked fine until the pandemic and before our rent was jacked up to $1400. Now that it's late, we owe $1600. Because they also jacked up the late fee from $100 to $200, because they're jerks. My partner's mom has helped us sometimes but can't right now. This is my only option, and I'm scrambling to find something else, but right now, we're kinda fucked.

I obviously don't expect to get the whole $1600 from begging on the internet, but literally anything helps, and we have other bills to deal with as well, obviously. I just don't know what else to do, and if we don't figure it out, they WILL evict us. And then who knows when we could realistically afford to move into a new place, assuming we could find one we can afford that would have us? I'm trying really hard not to freak out about it.

Please donate and boost if possible. I am so grateful for anything anyone can do 💜💜💜

And here's a pic of my cat for tax/attention:

The only acceptable ads should be shit like "groceries on sale" and "free event at the local library"

Booker has been talking for over 18 hours, interspersed with questions from Democrats like a call and response performance.

I've got the livestream open on my laptop. When I started watching, there were about 42k viewers; now it's around 49k, almost 50k.

It's giving Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. The story is basically that a dude becomes a senator, having been appointed by a corrupt politician, because he's naive, so the guys in charge think he's going to be easy to manipulate. Spoiler: he isn't so easy to control.

The film culminates in Smith delivering a filibuster on the Senate floor, until he literally can't stand up anymore. That's what I was reminded of when I heard Booker say he would continue for as long as he is physically able.

I think he's going for the high score. Dude seems pretty prepared. I'd have a catheter in me and maybe a diaper. I'd also be on meds to suppress my appetite and increase energy/wakefulness. Maybe that's cheating the way steroids are unsportsmanlike, but I don't care.

Dude was elected, hired to do a job, and he gives a fuck about doing it. I respect that.

Thankfully, there has been very little bipartisanship talk. On that note, I don't have much hope for Schumer, but maybe he could learn something from Booker. I'm not saying he will, but I think he could.

why do i have to take care of this idiot (me) every single day cant she do anything on her own

[sheet--metal--girl]

using a big pot to cook a fuckton of food is awesome until you need to wash the pot and then its the worst thing ever

[catboybiologist]

One more joke hate: You may claim to be a woman but biologically you are a featherless biped and thus a man.

Finally a good argument for why I'm actually a man

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

if you told diogenes the cynic about being trans he'd be like "lol that's a sick troll you're epic" and you'd be like "diogenes no i'm serious" and he'd be like "lol that's even better lmao those guys are so mad about it" and then he'd start going by new original neopronouns every single day specifically to piss off the whole symposium

[catboybiologist]

I just had an idea for a really dumb comedy sketch where a transphobe starts ranting about what really makes a women a woman, and diogenes returns each time with a different cis woman or outwardly femme intersex person that doesn't meet the criteria saying "behold, a man!"

"a woman has XX chromosomes"

*Diogenes with an androgen insensitive XY cis woman*: behold, a man!

"Nono, a woman can bear children!"

*Diogenes with someone who has medical complications associated with pregnancy*: "behold, a man!"

"nono, a woman produces the large gamete"

*Diogenes with a postmenopausal cis woman* "behold, a man!"

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

Trans Rights With Diogenes! coming to PBS

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Some idiot: only women can produce eggs!

*Diogenes holds up a chicken* Behold! A woman!

Waiting to go to work. Well, first we have to go to his mom and beg her for money so we don't get thrown out of here. They're threatening to start eviction proceedings tomorrow, and we just haven't been able to pull together enough quickly enough.

We should be able to pay her back in the next few weeks, though, assuming everything works out the way we expect. It's just that we'd rather not be homeless while we're trying to get our shit together.

It's exhausting work for me, as an introvert. For him, it can be really invigorating. I have to be semi-medicated to do it because of anxiety reasons. At any rate, it's a lot right now. Neither of us feels well at all. But we can't blow this. It just can't happen.

[spoopy-valkyrie]

It's an empty-chair town hall. I really want to talk about it but that would absolutely dox me. Just know part of what's about to happen is going to be really funny. And then we will hopefully make a lot of money getting signatures. It's a petition to legalize recreational weed, and we're at a town hall making fun of an absent Republican politician. We might run out of paper.

We have to concentrate on these events. As draining as it is for me to be around a lot of people at once, we have to take this opportunity and run with it as far and as fast and as hard as we can.

It’s weird that we keep trying to armchair diagnose asshole behaviour with mental health labels and in doing so throw people with mental health conditions under the asshole bus when we could just call a guy an asshole and leave it at that

It just seems far more straightforward, you know

still being active on tumblr is camp

[raymusterio]

Last year, I was talking with my mom about parenting and she said "well at least I never made you feel like I didn't love you"

I proceeded to tell her about a time when I was a kid and she was yelling, screaming, and throwing things, and I said "I love you" in that small timid kid voice and she said

"well I don't love you right now"

Our relationship was never the same after that and she didn't even remember that it happened.

Transcript:

Girl, just do it fat. Don’t wait until you’ve lost enough weight. You’re worthy of taking up the space that you fill. Live your life now. Don’t wait for some future version of yourself that you think will be more deserving. You have every right to pursue your passions and dreams just as you are today. Your worth isn’t tied to a number on a scale or the size of your clothes; it is inherent in who you are. You’re allowed to be seen, heard, and celebrated in whatever body you inhabit right now. Don’t let anyone or anything convince you for too long. So go out. Do it fat! Wear the clothes you love, pursue the opportunities that excite you, and live unapologetically. There’s no reason to put off living the life that you want, waiting for a moment that you’re not even sure will come. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled just as you are, and the world needs you exactly as you are today. Everything good that has ever happened to you, happened in this body. Girl, just do it fat.

please help a disabled nonbinary trans guy and their partner not get homeless 💜💜💜

Update: Finally some good news, but we still might get evicted. (Repost from my other blog.)

Basically, my partner started a new project today collecting signatures for a petition. The pay is solid, and the guy behind the campaign is someone he’s worked for and known for a while, and so is middle management.

The way it works is, you do a turn-in of signatures on certain days, and you get a check on the spot or via direct deposit. Some people in this field don’t have bank accounts. Others are practically off the grid. And it depends on who you’re working for. Some campaigns are great. A lot of them pay shit and/or are poorly funded and/or organized.

So this is the first really good news we’ve had in a while. It’s a great gig and a great issue, but being in Florida, there’s going to be fuckery afoot. So who knows exactly how long this will last, but likely it will go until July and possibly up right before the election.

Problem: we still haven’t paid rent and are being threatened with eviction proceedings to begin on the 25th. We could make a lot of money between now and then, but probably not the whole $1600. So I’m trying to raise about $500-600 towards that and food.

We’re going to work an event shortly. This is the first time since the pandemic started that things have felt halfway normal in terms of our prospects. If I wasn’t on my period, and poised to run out of pain meds, I’d be looking forward to it. As it is, at least we’re able to do something and hopefully get back on our feet.

Like I said, I’m trying to raise about $500-600. Between what little we have right now and what we can make in the next few days, that’s about what we’d need to make rent and eat once or twice a day.

Thanks to anyone who can help at all. Hopefully I won’t have to do this again for a while, and hopefully I can contribute to some of my friends’ needs if this pans out the way I hope and think it will.
