The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Ive been trying to get my life together for some time now, and that started with my transition. Ive been needing help living with disabilities and burned out, and now dropping out of uni. Getting employed is pretty much impossible and I've been surviving off savings and these donation posts. Food and bills and my own hrt depend on thse until I manage to get my life together, which is very hard when your life hangs on generous donations every month.

I'll be most thankful with anything you can help with, please. And share this post around so more people can see it. I'm asking for an amount that could sustain me for many months ahead, and I'll be trying to find get up on my own.

This 200-year-old bridge built without a single nail is a wooden bridge located near the village of Gulli (Juli) in the Tabasaran region of Dagestan, Russia. It is known primarily by its description rather than a formal historical name in English-language sources. The bridge is approximately 10 meters (about 33 feet) high.

The bridge was constructed by local Tabasaran people using traditional joinery techniques, relying on precisely cut, interlocking wooden joints and wooden pegs (sometimes called “trunnels” or dowels) instead of metal fasteners.

The builders used only local wood and stone that were available to them. A metal bracket visible on the bridge in some photos is a later addition and does not serve a functional or structural purpose.

The ingenious design allows the structure to flex and adapt to natural changes in temperature and humidity, which contributes to its incredible longevity. It has withstood harsh weather conditions for two centuries and can even support the weight of a passenger car today.

So I've been unable to work recently due to a new unidentified issue that's been making my pass out during my job, it's caused me to fall two times in the middle of my shifts over the last two weeks, and miss several other shifts due to passing out on breaks or at home on days I was going to work.

I work on my feet in a kitchen, and during my last fall I hit my head on a table as I fell, and needed a CT scan. I have been in and out of the hospital and every test has come back inconclusive.

I'm not currently able to support myself due to all the missed days at work, and could really use some help until I can figure this out

Whether you could spare $5 or $50, anything helps

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
