Mutual Aid Request

I really struggle asking for help publicly, but I am currently dealing with a financial emergency after my water service was accidentally cancelled due to failed payments while I’ve been stuck in overdraft. I’m on ODSP and won’t have income for another 12 days, and right now I’m trying to prevent the situation from escalating further.

If anyone is able to help, even a little, I would be deeply grateful. If you cannot, sharing is also appreciated beyond words.

Thank you for all the kindness and support people have shown me and my work lately. It genuinely means more than I can explain. 🫶

for every zionist supposedly worried about queer people's rights (only when it's convenient for them , of course)

and also for anyone who likes discovering new music or who loves oud or wants to support palestinian art, or all three of the above:

Coming out culture is western propaganda ladies, don't fall for it!! Openess amongt our people is not just "enough", not just survival. It is itself beautiful. Being hidden is different from feeling shame. Being private is not self hate. Our lives, what we share and what we don't, it's up to ourselves. We live under different circumstances and we should never model our lives after how the westerns and kafirs live. Being closeted is a full life. Closeted is not denial. Deny who you are, and you will fall apart, that part is true. But looking in the mirror and saying "yes, this is me, now what will I do with it?" that is yours, yours yours yours, open to you, for YOU to figure out.

Some of this will be a for now, some will be a forever, we don't have to wait and cry and anguish over what is what or when things will happen. Politically, socially, religiously. We don't have to put live on pause until we have these answers. Life your life now. There will be no other time for you. And don't take on the weight of the world alone. Meet with people, people like you, have them close, dispense these conversations amongst each other. Yes we have to be brave, much braver than others, and yes, take some risks. But don't you for even a second think that happiness or completion will only come to you if all people know your story. We don't need the world or great masses. We need to know that somewhere close to us, there is someone who is alike. Someone somewhere close. Be it one or three of five or twenty. You need a someone, not the world.
