epic fail and cringe, but I stay silly :3

when we are raped, it is a pale imitation of real rape

when we are abused by our partners, it is a pale imitation of real domestic abuse

when we are punished for our failures to meet patriarchal standards of womanhood, it's a pale imitation of the same thing happening to cis women

when we grieve our inability to give birth, it is a pale imitation of the grief of cis women who cannot give birth

when we face violence and murder at incredibly high rates, when we are threatened and catcalled and harassed by men in public, our fear is a pale imitation of that of cis women

when we are paid the lowest wages of any gender demographic, it is a pale imitation of the smaller wage gap faced by cis women

our suffering is a pale imitation of real suffering

As I've gone over my car is kind of fucked right now and not drivable or repairable at the price I can afford. I'm fundraising for a month's transit costs roughly, the expense of the tows/"repair"/first week of ubers, and for some of the down-payment. Ubers on my commute average $25-30, and I have a little saved for the down-payment. For this week the goal is $250 at least, as well as ideally the unmet goal from previous weeks. I'm making weekly posts in hopes that this will encourage donations. I'm also dealing with unexpected expenses and trying to secure housing after getting out of a hostile and discrimatory housing situation with my landlord.

Unmet goal from previous weeks: 254

Combined goal of previous weeks and this week: 504

$FaeKhawal and ko-fi.com/rosebijoumme are my paylinks. I prefer cashapp because kofi takes a cut from me. I also have venmo and PayPal but those have my dead name, so dm me if you want to use those. You can also go directly through gfm, which will be linked in a reblog.

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

⭐Taking commissions again!⭐
