If you support AllLivesMatter or BlueLivesMatter, you are not my friend.

A few good friends and a few very kind strangers helped me get off the street for december and I really like the place we got into & the woman we’re renting from is very nice. Shes let us have a few things from her kitchen but I dont want to take too much.

Basically if you send me or anyone at all like 5$ or more more, itll give both of us $, you for using cashapp and me for inviting you. If you send me 10$ for food then cashapp will give you 10$ free to replace it! and ill also get 5$ more for referring you! but also cashapp is awesome so like. use it over paypal whenever possible theres no xfer fees and its free to cash out if you wait til the next day, and about the same price to cash out instantly.

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person

Can fandom bring back the concept of a squick

A “squick” was a trope or topic that made the reader deeply uncomfortable, even might cause anxiety or intense emotional reactions

Everyone’s squicks were personal and diverse, and it was considered polite to say, “sorry I can’t read this because it squicks me, but you have fun in your corner doing what you doing”

Key to the concept of “squick,” as it was first explained to me lo these many years ago, is that it is not a value judgment.  If I say “mpreg is gross,” that’s a negative statement about mpreg (and, by extension, about those who enjoy writing or reading about it).  If I say “mpreg squicks me,” that’s a value-neutral statement about me and my emotional reactions and how they affect my enjoyment of fiction.

squick: Something that makes you go “ewwww” and wish you had never seen/read it. Something that makes you deeply uncomfortable. Something you’re not interested in reading/seeing/thinking about, ever.

trigger: Something that you associate with/reminds you of a past trauma (mental, emotional, or physical) and therefore triggers your personal reaction to trauma (be it flashbacks, panic/anxiety attacks, unhealthy behaviours, a crying jag, whatever).
