^_^!!

my gf and I are a black wlw couple who are trying to make it to mid August when my job starts and we need help until then. my gf needs money for her estrogen, I need money for my psych meds, and we need groceries to feed an 8 person household + a cat, and our phone bill

because of the heatwave and following storms, we haven’t been able to go out to the food bank, and while we no longer live in a food desert, the car has been in the shop for about a month now so it’s basically just been cup noodles since june, but we’ve run out.

I get that things are hard for everyone, and I hate having to make this post but we really have no other options rn as my gfs potential clients are leaving her on read and my job doesn’t start for another month.

my gfs cashapp is $Santanajammn

my Venmo is cherryadventure2

hers is sidiosquiere

Independent bookstores around the country have a particularly clever lifeline, one perfectly suited to the unprecedented moment we find ourselves in. The strange part? It came into being just weeks before the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, and before the bookstores started closing up shop wondering if they’d reopen at all.

The lifeline in question is called Bookshop. 

How it works

When you select your local bookstore on the map above and visit their Bookshop page, we place a cookie in your browser that identifies you as that store's customer, and the store will get the full profit from all your Bookshop purchases (30% of the book's list price).

What if I don't choose a store?

If you don't choose a store, your purchase will contribute to a profit pool that is divided among all our participating bookstores.

During the stop, Lorenzo had 3 coworkers with him in his truck who have all been taken into ICE custody.

His family described Lorenzo as a hardworking family man who didn’t deserve to be killed. All he wanted was to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. His eldest son recognized his father by his cries and pleas when trying to identify who the victim was.

The Salgado Araujo family has set up a gofundme to help with funeral and legal costs, and to help keep their family supported since Lorenzo was the sole provider.

My neighbor's daughter and her boyfriend bring me here to the er . They just went home . I just woke fully woke up

I was in amd out of it

When I try to solve my own problems when I don't get any help I seem to make things worse 😭

I have a permanent Tracheostomy now becauee of this ..... all i wanted to do was eat and my night ended with a hole in my throat ....damn . What a damn series of events . Shit got worse times a million

I don't have an aide cause I'm in the hospital. .... I don't know how long I'm gonna be here . I don't have any clean clothes or underwear. I can't even hand wash my shit cause I have 1 damn hand 😞. I know I don't smell as good as I'm supposed to cause I don't have help . They just wheel me in and I try to do my best . I don't have anything here. I was hoping that I would still have the aide cause I could've asked her omto bring some things I need from my house but I don't .

They kicking me out the hospital in the morning. Medicaid isn't gonna pay for hospital stays for me for the rest of month . Since they are paying for me to have aides and other health related things but the hospital stays for non psych reasons are done until next month . I called for the Medicaid ride for the morning they said have to do it 3 days in advance so I need to get a cab home in the morning . My aide will meet me at my house.

I don’t know how many more times I can come here and ask for help. Every post I write comes with tears, because my mother’s life is all I can think about.

Yesterday, her condition became much worse , I can’t stop replaying those terrifying moments in my mind. Standing beside her hospital bed, watching her struggle, feeling completely powerless… it’s a pain I can’t put into words. The doctors told us she urgently needs this heart procedure, but we’re still waiting because we don’t have the money.😔

We’re only $600 away from the urgent heart procedure she needs. Such a small number to some people, yet for us it feels like the distance between hope and despair.💔

If your mother were the one in that hospital bed, you wouldn’t stop fighting for her not for a second. That’s exactly what I’m doing now.💔😔

If you’re reading this, please don’t close this post and move on. Be the reason I can finally look my mother in the eyes and tell her, “Mom, we’re going to make it.”

Please… don’t be another person who says, “Someone else will donate.” You could be the reason we reach our goal today. You could be the reason my mother gets the chance to receive the treatment she urgently needs. Even the smallest donation could change everything for us.

Please help us reach the last $600. Every donation brings me one step closer to saying those words to her. 💔🙏

Current process: USD 17,706 / $18,306

My move to a women’s gaol happened nearly a decade ago. But just this year, the NSW Government has quietly changed the prison regulations. That may force more trans women to suffer humiliations like mine in a male prison, and much, much worse. The new regulation gives prison authorities broad powers to decide whether a prisoner is treated as a “male inmate” or a “female inmate” while in custody. In making that decision, they bear no responsibility to align the label they give you with your anatomy, your lived social reality, or your legal sex. What matters now are the ‘risks to the safety of the inmate or others’, the effect on the security and good order of the prisons, and any other factor the decision-maker considers relevant. Crucially though, without having to worry about breaching the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW), prison authorities can now place trans and gender-diverse people in prisons corresponding with the sex assigned to them at birth.
