disability pride month innit

in the last couple months, to save money, I/we

• quit my most expensive medication, just fucking quit it because insurance won’t cover it and we can’t fucking afford it. yes I do feel worse thanks for asking
• got rid of my phone plan and number that id had 20 years and got the cheapest one I could, thirty bucks a month. We already have one free govt phone in the household or I would have done that
• avoided necessary medical attention

currently we are

• two months behind on rent
• and my phone is about to be cut off on Sunday July 16
• atoms birthday is coming up and I was trying to raise money for him to buy some clothes at a thrift store or something because he LITERALLY has NO CLOTHES that fit but idk if that’s gonna happen
• also he has had an eye infection for like two months but we can’t afford an eye doctor
• I’m out of contacts last few months and my glasses give me headaches so I gotta go too
• we thankfully finally have food stamps again but it’s not like we’re hungry lol

I haven’t heard back from the last place I interviewed with, or anyone else.

we are drowning. as usual.

trying to get my phone situation taken care of first, then other fucking expenses I guess

please reblog or send $5 to hedwwig on PP/CA/VM

( reblogs are generally appreciated twice as much as money I hope y’all know )

hey so you know how we’re two months behind on rent?

we gotta pay this month or we’re homeless again.

yes I am also tired of the constant threat of homelessness coming back like every two or three months.

We’re $400 short.

no I don’t think I’m gonna get it by begging on tumblr but I’ve got to try. I’ve got to try everything.

I’m even going to go to the local churches for help though I don’t know how the fucking southern baptists will feel about paying a blue haired transsexual’s rent.

anyway HELP lol

but no yeah lets have the conversation:

“the CEO doesnt want to run that kind of website”
Excuse, shouldnt have bought the ‘go nuts show nuts whatever’ website if thats the case. APPEAL DENIED

“we have to follow the TOS of the appstores we’re hosted on”
Excuse item one, no you dont, item two, you have since those days implimented infrastructure that would allow pornography and sex work on this platform Without violating TOS of any applicable app store. APPEAL DENIED

“we own the site we get to make the rules”
Incorrect, this site has only ever made profit when the users willed it. we collectively own the site as a hive mind and no legal change in ownership will change that. APPEAL DENIED

“we have to keep this website safe for the children who use it”
Argument based on fallacy banning pornography and sex workers does not prevent pornography and sex work from occuring on the site, it only forces aforementioned users to hide and avoid labling their content appropriately, which REDUCES the safety for children and sex workers alike instead of increasing it, this has been shown to the point that making this argument at all is tantamount to admiting fascist intent APPEAL DENIED

Reblog it. I want this to be on Tumblr radar by end of the week, i want my notes to be useless from the discourse, i want every single person on Tumblr to have seen this post at some point

I think if a studio exec says they want to force you to starve to death so you’ll be made to accept garbage wages, you should crush them in a hydraulic press incredibly slowly

Like the fact that rich people have gotten to the point where they think they can just be like “oh yeah I’m literally trying to kill you” without fear of repercussions is beyond infuriating. They need to know what it feels like to be beaten to death by hammers.

The Archive is experiencing some issues (as many of you have noticed).

It looks like the Archive is under a DDoS attack causing the servers to fall over. Our volunteer sysadmins are working on countermeasures. Please be patient with us, we’ll be back!

A DDoS attack is when an attacker attempts to knock a site offline by overwhelming it with requests. Data is not compromised in a DDoS attack, so there is no need to change your password at this time or worry about your works being lost.

A group presenting themselves as a collective of religiously and politically motivated hackers has claimed responsibility for the DDoS attack. This group has attacked other sites before, including those of government organizations and large corporations. However, experts do not believe the group is honest about their motivation, so we urge caution in believing any reasoning this group provides for targeting AO3.

As part of our efforts to help keep the site up, you might find that you get “Retry later” errors more often when searching or filtering works or bookmarks. Don’t worry, just go a little slower, or try again in a few minutes! These are temporary measures. Normal use of the site is fine – you don’t have to avoid using AO3 if it’s currently up for you.

Our volunteers are continuing to work hard on this issue! We appreciate your patience and support in the meantime.

we need to make fun of people who eat at chick-fil-a. if you eat at chick-fil-a you are directly funding police militarization and are intentionally anti-lgbt at best. it should not be socially acceptable to eat at chick-fil-a. it costs zero dollars not to eat at chick-fil-a. if you eat at chick-fil-a you are a spineless dweeb and stand for nothing. internalize that.
