URGENT NEED FOR FINANCIAL HELP 1/2 PLS BOOST 

Hello everyone,

I’m in an awful situation, basically the administration didn’t know where to send me my tax bill so they just didn’t send it, so I just didn’t pay them because I was _NEVER NOTIFIED_

Now they’ve sent an angry letter to my parents saying I need to pay them + late fees, about 800€

It’s gonna be real rough and I’ll have trouble paying this, the bills and the food for the next month

I really need help with this or I’ll be in trouble

passing around the bucket hat (begpost) 

If you could spare a pence or two so i can subsist on more than just tap water and ramen, i'd be eternally grateful:

asking for help, $ 

My bank account was eaten alive today by an unexpectedly-enormous vet bill, and I could use a hand buying stuff like food and medication. Anything helps, including boosts. Thank you. 💜

Madoka is a series that - on its own merits - has really good character design and character dynamics. It's... fine.

But it still has problems, and those problems relate directly to the genre it attempted to "subvert", and the effect it has had on said genre, in turn.

Need financial help 

Hey uuuh

Unforseen bank stuff, again :s

I need some extra money to make sure I have enough to afford food for the rest of the month

If you can, would you mind throwing some €€€ my way?

boosts appreciated

TIL that in the US, you can get advertisers to stop sending you physical mail by telling the post office "that you, *in your own discretion*, believe [the advertisements] to be 'erotically arousing or sexually provocative.'" (Emphasis mine.)

USPS and the advertiser are not legally allowed to contest this.

So if you tell them that CreditOne mailings just make you *too horny*...

Here's my case:

  • Being loose is outside the "norm" of sexuality, by most people's definitions; it is definitely not the default
  • There is nothing wrong with it whatsoever, it's how some people are born
  • People stigmatise being loose, especially women, and especially trans folk who get treated constantly as if this is a moral failing they all share (which it isn't, not all trans people are horny, and the ones who are don't deserve stigma)
  • It is not the same as being poly, at all
  • Like ace/aro people, people with higher than normal sex drives or romantic attraction face high stigma, even in queer communities; I would argue more so, because society in general considers being loose a moral failing
  • Slut shaming is an evil of society that needs more attention drawn to it
  • People are allowed to be proud of who they are. If that means being proud of being a slut, so be it.

fundraising, help four trans roommates get a place to live 

So like @amic has one going so I will have one too for visibility.

@amic, @plausocks, @alayna, and I live in a hotel that's like... it costs just enough for me to afford on our collective incomes, and barely any less.

We got a little bit of money from family and friends and have almost enough to get out of here... if we don't eat.

If you could help us, we would appreciate it so much.

After we're out of here, we will pay it forward. We want to so bad. We just can't. This place is a money pit.

I feel like shit for begging more. Like really shitty.

If you gave to Alexandria, no need to give again. It goes to the same source.

politics, propsperity doctrine, 45 

So I decided to explain to someone why on Earth Christians in America hate the poor so much. The short answer is: no, it's not just you, they really do hate the poor. And it's woven into the fabric of American Evangelism. I have simplified things a great deal of course (and it's only this long because I've not had time to make it shorter), but this is is the jist of it.

American politics are so fucked and interwoven with religion, you need a treatise to unpack it.

fun fact: peppermint and spearmint teas reduce testosterone levels! enough so that one study tested and recommended 2 cups of it a day as an alternative to spironolactone for women with PCOS!

some lightly salted thoughts on christmas in our culture 

in my opinion, the default winter season narrative of our culture -- Christmas -- is kind of a difficult one for large swaths of American culture to find broader meaning in.

As a secularized society, now there's not really anything there in terms of spiritual significance. There sure is a lot of stuff about consumption of goods though. Some people might feel connected to particular family traditions, which is great. But it lacks broader cultural meaning in terms of connection with the land, with our human experiences as a whole, and especially to any experiences of the sacred.

And, I think, folks know it.
