So, most of you know that @dadhoc unexpectedly lost his job right after Lex died last year – and in fact exactly because Lex died. They fired him because he took a day off from work when he’d been up all night at the emergency vet with his dog, finally having to make the decision to put him down.
@dadhoc’s gotten work again, but between being out of work, his new job being ethically better but currently paying him literally less than half what his old job did, and my disability limiting my work hours, plus the fact that what was supposed to be ‘pay your deductible and we’ll fix your house’ turned into ‘lol jk you’re 10K in debt now’ – things are getting – well.
Really tough. We’re not yet scarily falling behind, but things are becoming a little nerve-wracking. My last paycheck, after I paid for our health care, was $30. That’s not a typo. It’s not typical, but it’s not a typo.
Between my various social media sites, I put in enough time answering questions, acting as support, and writing up resources for it to be a second job for me. I do it because I love it, and because I love our community, but it’d also be awesome if my labor could turn into cash money.
If you appreciate what I do, please consider buying me a coffee, or if you don’t like Ko-fi, sending something my way on PayPal. My Patreon will be going live tomorrow, at which time you will also have the option of paying me money for stories about socialist space lesbians and separately a Jewish scholar in a fantasy world based on Mongolia and also about a demisexual middle-aged wizard, her partner, and their trans apprentice. I just have to decide which one I want to plow through first.
If every one of my followers could toss a dollar in the kitty, I’d have enough money to be sure we’d be tided over to when things should pick up for @dadhoc, and maybe even make some of the desperately-needed safety-related repairs to our house, which have been put off and put off.
Even better, if you’d like to hire me to write something for you, edit, proofread, speak or sensitivity read for you? I am for hire. I also have an Etsy shop, and if you don’t see something you like in my current stock, hit me up for something custom. Any of my pride kippot can be modified into beanies if you want a Pride item but are not Jewish.
Thanks - and please boost this either way. <3
We’re all enjoying the glitter, but can I get a signal boost on this going please? Vaspy is one of the best people in my life, if you can spare anything, please help <3
Anyone who has known me for a while can tell you that it has been my dream to move to Canada for years now. Indeed, since I was a teen I’ve wanted to go study there, to work there, to live there. However, it always seemed unattainable. Me, a mentally ill person who considered so many things...
After even my father telling me I should set a fundraiser, I decided to do so.
I’m really anxious about it to be honest! I don’t want anyone to feel guilt tripped into donating - only do so if you want and can.
However, if you can’t, I would really appreciate it if you could reblog this and maybe use my referral code on the Qriket app: 0E02E8.
Thank you so much!
It has been brought to my attention that YouCaring charges donors, so if you’d rather donate directly my PayPal is freyhazel@aol.com and my PayPal.me is over here
So recently I went out for a job. To my great delight, I’ve been offered it.
THIS LINK explains the situation, basically that my car is dubiously legal until I get registered properly. I have an appointment to do paperwork for the job on the 25th and I’m currently at $145 out of my $269 goal.
If you can spare anything so I can everything squared away as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it.
“Rainbow Railroad receives hundreds of requests for help every year from countries where LGBT individuals are open targets of violence.
Because the volume of requests is so high, we focus our efforts on assisting LGBT people who have faced physical violence or face an imminent threat of violence, imprisonment, or death.
We have been successful in helping individuals from the Caribbean, Africa and Middle East where we have local networks to support and validate cases.”
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HELP?
“The costs range as every case is unique. Sometimes the individual has the resources to help themselves and they just need information and support from us to make a move. In these cases, the cost to Rainbow Railroad is staff and volunteer time to research and provide information. In cases where they need financial support to get to safety, it costs about $5000 to cover flights and other related costs.”
Made a gofundme page because it has become an emergency situation for my rent. I have a full explanation on the page but I will paste it here as well.
Hello! My name is Kiamichi and my family and I are asking for some help this month. My job cut my hours back so severely this month that I am unable to pay my rent. I worked less than half my normal hours and its really put a financial strain on us. I’ve asked around for help from some of the assistance places and have been told I do not qualify for various reasons. I’ve tried raising money by selling some things as well but it’s not selling. I’m running out of time and need help desperately. I may have until Monday to get it all plus the late fee. I’m still trying to work that out with my apartment complex. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I’m just trying to keep a roof over my kids heads. Thank you!
If you don’t like gofundme my paypal is kiagbear@yahoo.com
Still needing about $600. I also have my earrings for sale still as well. I reposted that post just before this one. I took someones advice and filed for partial unemployment because of the reduced hours but they said it will take up to four weeks to get my first payment, which will help for next month just not this one so still desperately in need of help. Thank you for all the reblogs!
No change. Still hoping to get enough to keep my family in our apartment.
No major updates, still can’t get assistance. So still hoping to get enough donations to be able to pay the rent.
Been given five days to come up with all the rent. Still $600 short. I just don’t know what to do other than pray it works out.
Needing all the prayers, well wishes, positive & protective vibes + energies you can give - that my brother will be safe, protected, and carried home well in these upcoming days
Please pray for my brother. He just escaped from the home of our very abusive biological father + aunt (they were abusing him and had him on an unofficial house arrest, he hadn’t left the house except to go to work in the 8 months that he was there, and his rent went from $150/month - $400/month, they ran him completely dry to trap him) and is having trouble finding a place to crash, nonetheless stay.
All of our friends have turned out to be fairweather, completely bailing on us and him, and its looking like his only options might be with some really shady “friends” who have repeatedly taken advantage of him, co-erced and pressured into taking/buying drugs for them, and beaten him up multiple times to the point of knocking him out and leaving him on a front lawn — All of this to the point of hospitalization, numerous times.
He’s literally on the other side of the country’s coast and because of his ties to aforementioned shady people above he legally can’t leave the county to be flown up here.
He had a car but got in an accident just three days ago and totaled it, so he can’t even live in that. As soon as he left our biological father took him off of his car insurance as payback for “daring to leave him”. He also took my brother’s bank card and withdrew all the money he had in there leftover from their insane rent ($28).
He hasn’t eaten but once in the past week, and hasn’t bathed in even longer. He has no place to live, nobody will take him, but your prayers, your well wishes, energies, and vibrations you send his way of positivity, protection, and hope will help more then you can ever know.
If you can, please donate so we can somehow send him money for food and pay his phone bill so we can keep in contact. We’re terrified that our biological father will try to find him and hurt him, he’s done things like that before (has a criminal record for horrific spousal and child abuse).
I haven’t seen my brother in almost a year, and it was until this past week and a half that we’ve had contact with him (our abusive father and aunt forbade all contact with anyone who wasn’t them or his boss, they checked his phone multiple times daily).
The next time I see him I want it to be on our doorstep, and then in my arms. Nothing else. Please help make this possible. Please help keep him safe.
The Joel kabik (Poppajello) Lung Cancer Fundraiser Hello World ( Including friends from Camp Ramblewood and Randallstown High School), we need you!!! A very good man and friend, Joel Kabik, has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He is ready to fight. But, with limited funds and such an insidious...
Joel Kabik is one of the kindest, gentlest people I’ve ever known. He got me started on my lifelong obsession with Tudor history, he was kind to me beyond words when I was an ignorant teenager who thought they knew everything. He’s part of the reason why @mistresskabooms exists, because he helped her dad and I work things out several times, and counseled me when I was struggling at the end of our relationship.
He’s whip-smart, funny, sweet, and – he’s a lifelong actor without the funds to mount a costly and long fight against cancer.
I lost one of my dear actor friends to cancer in only 2013. I’m not ready to lose another friend so soon.
Can you please signal boost this, and toss a few dollars his way if you can? I know I’ve asked you to help me and mine already recently, but if every one of my followers could give one dollar, we’d blow past his goal.
Stage 3 Lung Cancer is a bastard, but we can help him kick its ass.
I have a large lump in my right tit and it’s been there a while and it really hurts. And my chest pain has been a lot worse lately. I’m saying this on here because I feel like whenever I mention a health thing to specific people, they either dismiss it entirely or just interrupt to talk about their own health issues. Like…be more obvious that you don’t care lol.
Also I’m extremely broke and we’ve been awaiting our tax return to alleviate the strain but H&R Block fucked up so our return had to be amended so according to the IRS website, it could be up to 16 weeks before we see that money.
Everytime I get paid now, I don’t even see any of that money because it just goes into the negative hole of my bank account. Which I am then forced to make further negative to buy groceries and gas.
I can’t keep my head above water

Hi! I’m a 21 Muslim qpoc who’s in an abusive family with no way of getting out due to my parents controlling my bank account, and what I do, I recently got into saic(which is an extremely hard school to get into for your masters) for my masters but abused into rejecting the offer because my parents want me to stay at home, and even though I’m not out to my family, I’ve been beat and have heard multiple times that my parents want to throw lgbtqa members off of buildings and burn them alive and have physically harmed me just by knowing I support lgbtqa and have said they are willing to kill me if I verbally talked about it again. Due to the forced rejection from saic, I realized I don’t feel like I can live like this anymore, but having no where to go because of my parents forcing me to cut off ties from all my friends and isolating me, because of that I’m planning on leaving without anything I have because it’s unrealistic I could take anything with me,
Please, I just want to get out and start my life,
All the fees will go to
-Homing and building my life again
-legal fees, restraining order, getting my name legally changed, also getting my legal documents, which are all controlled by my parents
-Food/clothing
-Medical costs, since I’ll loose my insurance, I was supposed to have a jaw surgery in a few months but I don’t think I can last that long
-Etc
