HELP ME AVOID EVICTION

My family and I have fallen three months behind on rent due to joblessness. Both me and my father are still looking for work but our landlord's patience has run out. I desperately need help.

They want the full amount by the end of the month or they'll file for eviction. We have nothing in savings and nowhere to go if we lose housing.

I'll update this post every few days, please spread this around!!

Later that day we went to the movies to watch that new Captain America film. I cringed the whole way through, while she waffled on in my ear about “comic-accuracy” (I love her, but she’s a nerd.)

‘Maddie, I’d love to hear this after it’s over but please let me listen to the dialogue.’

She looked like she was about to cry, and I thought I’d made her sad by essentially telling her to shut up, but then she smiled and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much joy come out of a single person from such a simple thing to say. 

Later I dragged her to the makeup store and essentially role-played as a straight couple with an apathetic boyfriend so she could pretend not to want to be there while I explained what everything did, dropping the man voice I’d been trying to hold in public for years just to yap about different lipstick shades like a valley girl.

And I went up to the register with her, and she was practically shaking when she handed one stick of eyeliner to the woman behind the register and she commented on how nice it was for “him” to be buying me something.

And we played it off, until we walked out the store and made a dash for the family-bathroom where I did her eyeliner while she cried and giggled and took a million pictures of herself and wiped it off and tried to do it herself over and over until it looked decent and then she hugged me so hard I nearly cracked a rib.

I can’t really explain what that afternoon meant to either of us. She and I drifted apart after a few months because meeting up became really hard, but still I remember that day like it was yesterday. I think I’ll remember it forever.

Sometimes a piece of work will make a really big deal about not having specific prejudices and make an entire story about one special token group of people that's so super cool and living naturally in their prejudice-free world and completely ignore the fact that making them some weird novelty is the problem. My favourite example of this is in Locke Lamora, where life at sea is very gender egalitarian and in fact it's bad luck to set sail on any vessel that doesn't have both men and women in the crew, where there are multiple female captains and on-board sexual relationships are completely normal, and yet somehow there's only one Badarse Middle Aged Mother Captain with her kids on board the ship, to the point where other captains gossip about how weird it is that she has kids and new crew need to be informed that there are kids and they need to be protected. Even though in the world as depicted that should be like. Every single ship.

These are the infamous people Dana blocked. I only found 7, one didnt have any post connected to Dana so they aren't included. Two were mild complaints that didnt werrent a block imo.

Some of these people arent trans in any regard, others are.

A writer telling you that they didnt intend for something, isnt an attack on you, or your identity. If you think its an attack on your identity, you are deeply insecure.

And while im here, she didnt deny a transfem reading. She denied that she wrote Frankie as trans. Period. Not transfem, not transmasc, no denial. A fact. She was written cis.

If she lied, THAT would be shitty. Telling the truth is not shitty.

No one owes you ANYTHING. She made HER STORY. For HER. You get the privilege of seeing HER STORY. Get over yourselves.

And btw, maybe ask why youre upset that the buff white woman with a masculine nickname wasnt deadnamed by a trans actress in episode 1. Followed by never asking or considering if the Filipino woman could be trans.
