Need money to help pay the bills, so if you've got some to spare I'd love to draw you something!

people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.

in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"

none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.

me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.

your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.

a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.

a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?

you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.

His campaign is #4 on @gazavetters. This campaign supports his family of 9 including himself. Most urgently, Nader's father is suffering with the effects of cancer and needs money for treatment, and his infant niece needs funds for formula and healthcare support.

If you only knew the incredibly difficult circumstances we've been going through these past and present days, you'd understand. This is the reality for all of Gaza; we're destined to suffer in every aspect of life, even the simplest. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to change it all. But I'm certain that with time, all of this will pass.

Hey everyone, I'm here now to collect a portion of the university fees for Emad and Aboud. I collected a portion for them at the beginning of the semester, and now they're nearing the end of their semester. With final exams approaching, there's a payment due before then. If they don't pay now, they won't be able to continue their studies and pass the final exams. So, we need the minimum payment before the exams begin.

We need $300 per person, so our goal is $600 for Emad and Aboud to help them pass their current semester. Thank you so much, everyone!

I have been appealing here for many days, and I say that there is only one installment left so that my brothers can complete their education and pass the final exams, and indeed I have set a specific period sufficient to collect the full amount, but unfortunately, only 10 dollars out of 600 dollars have been collected in the last 10 days.

I have only collected 30/600 dollars for the university installment for me and my brother so far

Today is my last chance.

we paid off the $3,138 amount to not get evicted. then we were told it was actually $3,200, because of late fees. the total we owed before we paid off was $4,204. so, as of the ledger we'd requested (posted under the readmore), we still owe $1,066 as of june 1st. it's now the 9th so we have an additional $10 late fee. our lease is changing to a month to month, and as is common in this city, rent increases with every renewal to the maximum allowed percentage, so our new monthly rent is going to be $1,097.

still on the sisyphean treadmill of owed rent, while being overwhelmed with other bills, and still jobless. any help to keep us from being immediately thrust back into the eviction danger zone again would be a life saver.

amount still owed ($1,066) + june late fee ($10) + new increased monthly rent for july ($1,097)

ideally before july 7, to avoid late fees piling on again, please.

i don't like to share so much but we're still very much struggling and complications keep coming up and we still need help:

my wife's been running into issues with job onboarding, they're demanding physical copies of things so it will take at least another two weeks to get everything in the mail. this is the only job thus far that has been communicative and wants to hire her. we don't have the means to challenge this and we are looking for other jobs in the meantime.

it's been really stressful and despite living in a 'progressive' city, i have reason to believe that other jobs being unresponsive or wishy washy about hiring my wife is because she's trans. no other person i know with a resume and job history like hers has had this much difficulty getting a food service or related job, unless they're also a trans woman.

we have several bills coming up and need groceries and things to help with the heat waves. i have POTS and other chronic illnesses and i get very very sick in the summer and i just cannot risk urgent care or ER visits. these essential expenses don't stop just because we're behind on rent, and we're quickly being pulled back under. i'm worried we're just going to end up dealing with another eviction notice next month.

appreciate whatever help we can get before late fees hit after the 7th. hope everyone's had a safe pride month, much love for the upcoming disability pride month as well <3

It's pride month, and I should be a year on Estrogen by now but I haven't been able to take HRT in nine months because I lost health insurance when I lost my job. We need help to get back on our feet and to get into a larger apartment we can both fit comfortably in.
