"I was born to be happy"

I’m not the one to ask others for help, but my situation has gotten really bad and I don’t know where else to turn to.

My parents found out I’m trans yesterday and I got kicked out. I was told to pack up and leave. I’m from Eastern Europe and a university student. They were paying everything for me, from school to depression meds to food. I’m at my friend’s place now but I can’t stay here forever and I need money for the next school year which starts next month, meds, food, utilities… until I can figure out a job. I honestly feel really desperate and miserable right now, I’m freaking out so bad :( I feel confused, betrayed, my head and chest are throbbing from crying and overthinking… I feel like I’m suddenly at rock bottom and things were already bad for me with depression and dysphoria. Things are so overwhelming. I don’t even know if what I’m writing makes sense. I just need help to stay on my feet right now, I can’t afford to stop attending university amongst everything else too as you really need a degree here not to live in absolute poverty until the rest of your life. One year is about 1143 american dollars or 970 euros, which is the least I’d need for now.

I know this is a lot to ask for but please, if you can spare even a dollar/euro/one unit of whatever currency, please help me out! And if you can’t, please please reblog. And thank you unbelievably much

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me in these awful times. Enough money has been raised for me to continue university which is such a relief for me! I honestly can’t thank you enough. I’m sending all the love I have in me to you all, thank you thank you thank you!!!!

As I said in my previous update, I will be able to stay with my friend and their family until I get a job so I will have a roof over my head as well as food, and since enough money has been raised for my meds too, I will be closing the goal I posted now even though it wasn’t reached fully since I don’t want to be given more money than necessary. You have been beyond generous towards me already. Once again, an enormous thank you to everyone!!!!

I’m still in a bad place mentally but I’ll just have to power through it and figure it out as I go… Many more of you have reached out and knowing I have friends in you has been yet another major relief. Thank you people, seriously.

I have put it in a way that’s transparent for everyone to see how much has been raised, but since I will be closing the goal I’m going to put a picture of the state as it is right now so people can see. I put it so $1 = 1 kofi, so the amount raised is $1642. I will keep the goal open for a little longer so people can be assured the picture is the actual current state.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️

WHY?

Exhibits A, B, C, D, E

Tumblr recently announced a new feature called Post+ meant to help content creators make money while keeping a cut to help maintain the site. Not a bad idea, right?

The problem is that tumblr actively encouraged the use of Post+ in conjunction with fan works. Which is, despite the way they continue to side step it, highly illegal. Not enough people are aware of that fact.

Our mission is to force tumblr to either rebrand the Post+ feature as something for original content ONLY and/or offer a means to help the site survive outside of monetizing fan work. We want the see tumblr thrive but Post+ has the potential for ruining everything. Give us a better option, @staff ! In fact, HERE are some options!

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Optional avatar and banner to use!

Banner credit to @adairctedgibbgirl ! Thank you!

You can also spread the word on ALL social media (Twitter/TikTok/Facebook/Reddit etc) and reblog this post. Another option, if you’re using the mobile app, is to leave an honest review (be polite, be concise, don’t spam) on the App Store of your choice! The best and easiest way to protest is DON’T USE POST+!

WILL THIS WORK?

We got tumblr to temporarily hide the original Post+ posts and possibly made wip a thing. So who knows?

ANYTHING ELSE?

Keep checking @postplus-protest for updates and further info, especially updates to this post! Thank you, all of you, for participating or boosting!
