MultiFandom Chaos

May I present to you: the least to most specific movie night ever, ranked.

I'm a 23 year old trans woman, my name is Aether/ Angel, I'm disabled, I lost my job, my mother disowned me, and she stole my entire savings account before cutting all contact.

Amidst all of this stress I started getting dependent on weed again, which resulted in me entering a compromised state and being abused by someone I considered a friend. My only source of income was / is sex work, but the sexual abuse I experienced has destroyed my body image and traumatized me to the point I can hardly do it anymore.

I had a very fruitful first post about this go around, but I still never even made back all the money my mom took from me. My roommate is currently financially dependent on me due to disabilities as well, so I'm extremely stressed and desperate for any help.

My Ko-Fi is here

For verification please reach out to my roommates @sonicaspeed123 @collared-crescent and my friend @decamarks

These are the issues I would really like help paying for:

@analog-delight, @sapphireh3art, and @puppiesthoughtsgobrrrr, in the span of a few minutes.

They aren't even hiding it this time, they claimed no reason for the termination. "For any reason, or none at all."

I've been told that all followers of a now terminated blogs were banned, so it's safe to assume that someone on staff just went down the list of a tgirl's blog and banned all of them.

Please help my friend. They’re going to bomb the tents again. I’m out of options, I don’t know how else to get people to donate. I just don’t know what else people need to see.

Roughly 70kg is a person?

Donate to Momen Al Ostaz, Abdullah Ameen, Doaa's family, and Mahmoud Nedal.

We are still way behind on our goal, and it's been almost 24 hours.

i know, from my personal experience, that addiction often comes from desperation. every addict i have ever spoken to has something they were desperately trying, and failing, to fix for years, before they turned to illegal substances as the solution — chronic pain or loneliness or trauma or alienation or or or.

so now, whenever my brain helpfully supplies the phrase "addicted to x," to talk about a compulsive and maybe even subconscious pull towards something that's not an illegal substance, i try to swap that around and start from the craving, or the desperation, depending on the intensity. it has been looking like this:

"addicted to sugar" -> craving something sweet / desperate for calories

"addicted to my phone" -> craving restful and easily available entertainment

"addicted to dopamine" -> needing rest and fun and joy, probably unknowingly on the brink of burnout

"addicted to other people's approval" -> desperate for meaningful, self esteem-building connection

it's a neat little rhetorical trick that helps me from falling into judgment and contempt when talking about my own, and other people's, unhealthy habits. there's no way to condemn other people's addiction (real or imagined) without feeling superior about our own self control.
