beauty requires openness. it asks you to let things reach you, to soften enough to be moved. it’s not naive to see beauty everywhere—it’s a skill, a form of intelligence, a kind of quiet bravery. because it is so much easier to critique than to create, to detach than to engage, to dismiss than to love.

hi!! I'm TDF and this is what's in my only bank account rn:

I'm multiply disabled and living under the poverty line. My income adds up to about 1/3 of the local minimum wage.

I am stuck in bed most of the time because my physical health is so bad, and I have expenses nondisabled people don't.

right now I'm asking for help with groceries, medication, and hygiene/cleaning items, if any financially secure adult is willing to help!

Many of the items on my list are $5 or less, I just literally do not have $5 rn.

Thank you for being kind about this being on your dash!

last month was SO expensive w all the various problems/emergencies and having to feed multiple additional people who have celiac disease.

I ended up having to borrow money just for necessities, because even for one person my tiny income is not enough. Paying it back will take about half my grocery budget for July.

I'm making do as best I can. I've put off getting many necessities as long as possible and I'm eating cheap stuff that causes physical pain to save money.

But I'm stuck in bed even more than usual rn with a chronic illness flareup, so I need things I can easily prepare without leaving bed. I have a mini fridge and a microwave next to the bed, so that part isn't so bad, but convenient foods (esp those that don't cause pain!) are expensive.

And all the meds and hygiene stuff I've been delaying are making their absence strongly felt. 😅
