Hi ° ̫°

Hello, it's me, Carson "gay_cars" Clippy. I am a gay, trans man whose time in California is coming to a close a bit suddenly. If you're one of my followers, you know that I lost my well paying job back in September and have been struggling financially ever since. While I am employed now, it's not even enough to make ends meet every month, much less put anything away in savings.

My partner, Casper, is also having sudden changes in his living situation. We are long distance and we were planning on moving me across the country later this year or early next year regardless, but now we are both relocating to the Great Lakes.

He will be moving there at the beginning of July, and my plan is to get there by the end of July/early August. Once I have an exact date, I will add it to my fundraiser and to this post.

I have a goal set for $3000. I go into details on my GFM page explaining what the funds are going to be used for, but I need $2000 to cover the absolute minimum moving expenses of a U-haul U-box (which is a small shipping container) and the gas to drive my car over 2,000 miles northeast.

Any shares or donations are super appreciated by both me and Casper. We are excited to live together soon, we just wish the circumstances bringing us together weren't so sudden and expensive. We are planning on settling down long-term in the area we are moving to, so hopefully this will be our last long distance move for a long, long time.

I'm about $400 away from being able to cover the uhaul ubox, so anything helps since that's the largest expense.

I beg y’all please help or share. Lost my job June 16 alongside 2 Black employees. I currently need help with an urgent utility hardship. My electricity has been disconnected since June 24, leaving me without refrigeration, cooking access, or laundry.

Electric Bill: $150 / $1,934.80

Hello friends, I thank you very much for your continuous support, but right now I am in urgent need of you and your help. We are now in the holy month of Ramadan, which requires a lot of expenses, and there has been a significant rise in prices.

I also need to pursue my dream after losing everything. I need your support greatly—I need more than $1,500 to pay my university fees so I can receive my certificate and apply for scholarships.

You can find the images below the post.

Therefore, I am in great need of your help. I support my family, and at the same time, I am trying to achieve myself and continue my education.

yeah maybe because in real life you don’t have the liberty of putting your boundaries in an easily accessible place for everyone to see and it’s harder to protect your peace in real life and some people would prefer to not have their online experience be an uncomfortable one and they also aren’t obligated to interact with you and maybe you’re just kind of a douchebag who can’t respect boundaries idk tho

please message me if you're interested!

because, let’s talk for real, the problem isn’t just direct violence — it’s the dehumanization of children, which feeds prejudice against childhood, childism, and adultism. this logic IS NOT neutral, and it’s one of the most sophisticated ways prejudice gets perpetuated.

“not liking/hating children” reinforces the idea that they’re annoying, dramatic, inconvenient... less human — and therefore easier to discard, silence, or sacrifice for adult comfort.

elisabeth young-bruehl defines childism as prejudice against children as a social group, comparable to racism, sexism, and homophobia. it functions like any other -ism: an ideology that legitimizes treating a group as property, as inferior, or as available for exploitation. she also shows that childism isn’t limited to extreme cases of violence — it shows up in a whole range of practices that aren’t in children’s best interest: neglect, underfunding of schools, the abusive use of medication on children…

saying “i don’t like/i hate children” isn’t an innocent preference or just a phrase — it’s literally the biased expression of a worldview that dehumanizes and diminishes this group. that’s exactly what childism is.

young-bruehl emphasizes that adults who practice childism “all rely upon a societal prejudice against children to justify themselves and legitimate their behavior.” [p.1] a lot of people may not consciously “hate” children or raise a hand to hit them — but the prejudice allows them to tolerate structures that harm children on a massive scale (child poverty, incarceration, violence, abuse, exploitation, neglect, etc.).

rebecca adami uses the concept of childism to analyze adult resistance to actually implementing children’s rights: prejudice against children gets translated into laws, policies, and practices that deny basic freedoms and normalize their subordination. just like a racist can say “i don’t want to see black people getting hurt” while supporting policies that harm them — an adult who “hates children” is, in practice, feeding the cultural climate that makes violence against children thinkable, justifiable, or dismissed.

adami also shows that childism helps us understand how children are exposed to “prejudices, negative attitudes and discriminatory structures in society” — and how this connects to the weak implementation of the un convention on the rights of the child.

the old idea that “children are just mini adults” has been challenged by childhood sociology, and children are now recognized as rights-bearing subjects who deserve to be heard and respected in their choices.

claiming it’s “fine to dislike and/or hate children” means refusing them that status — putting them back in the position of nuisance, of “noisy things,” of objects. which is exactly what critical theory identifies as the core of adultism and childism.

madeline lane-mckinley argues we live in a world that is “deeply against children,” where they’re treated as extensions of the family, the state, or capital — not as autonomous people. she also talks about “adult supremacy” and proposes a politics of solidarity with children, understanding them as comrades in the fight for a better future.

lane-mckinley also points out that the figure of the child has historically been weaponized in service of white supremacy, empire, and political projects that decide which children deserve protection — and which ones can be abandoned to poverty, war, forced migration.

in other words, discourses of hatred and contempt for children participate in the symbolic economy that makes some children’s lives more exposed to violence.

and finally — in ethical and political terms, there is no way to separate “hating” (or “disliking”) children from passive participation in structures that authorize harm against them.

the only position that’s coherent with children’s rights and with critiques of childism is to let go of that hatred and commit to recognition, listening, and active solidarity.
