Hi everyone,
I’m getting over my shame and internalized ableism and asking for help. I’m a chronically ill unemployed trans gurl who just left sex work (as in, yesterday) because I finally lost my shit. I’m also moving out of my abusive household in June, around the 15th or so. I don’t have a place to stay yet so the more money I have saved up, the more likely someone is going to trust me to move in with them.
Thanks to sex work and friends donating, I’ve saved up $2,000 for deposits, first/last month’s rent, housing applications, etc. I’m trying to raise another $2,000 to get me through the summer. Starting September/October, I should be receiving financial aid from my university, so that will help.
To give you an idea of where the money is going:
- Rent for a shared room is $500-$550/month
- Utilities are anywhere between $20-$60/month
- I’m limiting myself to $100-$125/month for food
- Gas is $40 a full tank, so about a $80/month if I do this rightI’ll also be looking for a job at this time. I have an open interview tomorrow so hopefully I’ll get called for a second interview!
Important to note! My memoir, Trauma Queen, is aiming to be published on May 31st, 2013. It’s going to cost $20, so if you want to hold off donating to buy the book, that’s totally understandable. I have a collection of writing and art here (x) that you can read/watch, and a zine here (x). I’ll also be selling various articles of clothing, shoes, collector’s items, etc. in the next week or so.
Signal boosting would be appreciated, and any donations would be very helpful. <3
¡Gracias! / Thank you!,
Lovemme/Sirena-
P.S. (if the link doesn’t work, there’s a donate button on my page.)
Boost the shit out of this!

And then on an old episode of TNG, John de Lancie said “Generosity has always been my… weakness” and I just quietly freaked out and said “Was it?” under my breath.

You’ve heard the news.
But what does this mean for your privacy?
In a recent report card from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), comparing which tech companies protect user’s data from government snooping, Yahoo received one of the lowest scores with only one out of five stars. Tumblr performed significantly better, receiving three stars for requiring a warrant for content, fighting for users’ privacy rights in Congress, and publishing law enforcement guidelines.
Text reblog because the gif that accompanied this post was annoying my eyes.

texasuberalles said:The perceived “normalization” of odd behavior is a beneficial side effect of the rise of geek culture; I’ve had people assume that my wife’s drop seizures were part of a cosplay or LARP sort of thing.
That doesn’t sound really beneficial at all…

my parents are telling me to stop rocking in my chair (stimming) because they say it doesn’t help
their reasoning for it not helping consists of them being able to see it out of the corner of their eyes and it annoying them, or the possibility of it being able to scare people because it’ll make people think something’s wrong with me
my stimming doesn’t help me… because it annoys you?
i think the point has been missed
and considering the last notable time i rocked in my chair really badly in public, this guy i didn’t know called me gorgeous and smiled at me, i don’t think it scares people

btw please mention if the way i phrased that came out different because i’m trying to get across something about the media’s white default as if white is not a race but i’m having trouble phrasing it in my head and it’s coming out worse every time i try to write it down
