community moderation protip: Ban the nazis quickly without endlessly pondering the (perfectly clear) morality of this

you're welcome

A beloved member of my university's LGBTQ+ student organization is about to lose their home because of the rent moratorium being lifted soon. She's older, a mother, and just graduated, making her ineligible for assistance from the uni.

She needs $2300 ASAP for bills. I'm personally committing $500 to help out. We still need $1800... please assist in any way you might be able to. Please please boost this.

NEW VIDEO: Coping With Chronic Pain (Part 2: Prevention)

a video where I talk about how to not be in pain

these sorts of informational disability videos don’t perform as well on YT, so comments, shares etc are especially appreciated 💜

Reminder that nothing is "just the way it is". It's the way we make it.

Having a whole process to determine whether or not somebody is allowed to exist in a different country isn't "just the way it is". Humans did that, and we can undo it.

People starving despite there being enough food isn't "just the way it is". Humans did that, and we can change it.

Your quality of life being determined by how much money you inherited isn't "just the way it is". Humans did that, and we can get rid of it.

Freeze Peach Soapbox

https://beefyboys.club/

apparently people still like to trot out the false and harmful notion of "transtrenders". all this notion and its implict immorality does is scare people away from exploring their gender and prevent people from coming out out of fear of being accused of faking it. its transphobia, plain and simple

some reminders:

you do not need dysphoria to be trans

it's okay to explore your gender and land back on cis

when it comes to gender, "faking it" is a myth

Being 30 and trans my whole adult life I find myself being the trans elder in a lot of places.

My experience has shown:

* Critters gotta find their own path in life, and that goes for being trans

* Statements like "you're trans" or "you're an egg" doesn't help someone transition faster, or at all

* It is in direct and total opposition to bodily autonomy to push or pressure someone to be trans; some critters are guilty of this

* There's nothing wrong with offering information

* Often linking to some resources can do a lot more good than just explaining it

* Some critters don't want the problems that come with being trans, and that's valid

* Pretending it's going to be automatically great for someone when they come out as trans sets them up for failure; critters need to know how trans hostile the world is

* Not every trans critter on this planet is good; in fact, some are ready fucked up; pretending every trans person is good can sometimes set someone up to be overly trusting

* A little reassurance goes a long way

The final ask from milly

I have a job that pays enough

My training paycheck (and some donations) have carried me through car explosions and HAD gotten me enough for rent.

And then the baby i live with got to take an er trip this morning.

And i got to buy medicine, food, supplies for her.

And it took me just under my threshold for rent and gas. Mandatory but aggravating.

I literally can pay you back on August 5th if need be. But that is right when rent late fees arrive.

If you can, a few bucks would be grand.
