please reblog this post, especially if you live outside of the philippines. please help us.

i didn't make the carrd, but it's one of the most useful links right now. #JunkTerrorBillNow needs the most urgency, but there are other issues present too.

im going to start crying again but for a good reason

thank you to everyone who reblogged this. i don't know how it blew up, but it did. and the numbers are still spiking, which is great.

i made a slight error, i'm really sorry about that,

we only have six days until the bill relapses into law (until july 9)

please forgive the miscalculation; i know it takes away some of the urgency. but thank you so much for everyone who cares. i'm a small nobody, but seeing how many people have been reached by my post makes me feel like i'm helping a little. thank you for helping my countrymen fight our government. every little bit of effort helps.

Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.

2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.

3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.

4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.

5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up. 

6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.

I see it usually in the context of “esk*mo kisses” which may pop up when people talk about their ships and their headcanon, but it means “snow eaters” in cree and is a slur against Inuit people so please just don’t use it!

at first glance it passes for mildly sexist humor (him growing up being treated like a girl) but the creators are pretty progressive so i wouldn’t be surprised if that was their way of sneaking in a trans character. 

that’s FALSE, actually! and a common but dangerous misconception, which i’ll get to in a minute.

it blows my mind that i have accidentally found myself in a discussion about dr  doofenshmirtz’s theoretical hrt status, but he canonically cannot grow facial hair & has an unusually high voice, so it doesn’t sound like he’s been through testosterone based puberty. not all trans people choose or are able to go on hormones, and plenty of people discontinue or take a break from hormone therapy (for person, medical, financial reasons etc).   

also he does have a daughter in the show. idk if it’s confirmed that she’s his biological child but plenty of trans people have kids, before or after transitioning. 

an important fact to know about trans health is that afab people who are on testosterone or have been in the past can still get pregnant. (some trans parents pause hrt in order to do so.) though in most cases testosterone lowers fertility, these changes are not necessarily permanent and hormone therapy is not a form of birth control (the last is true for both testosterone and estrogen therapy). If you’re having the type of sex that can result in pregnancy, talk to your doctor to make sure you’re using the right precautions. and whatever your assigned sex at birth, if you think you may want kids in the future be sure to talk to your doctor about fertility issues before starting hormone therapy. you shouldn’t have to choose between your transition and your ability to have children, if you want them. 

again, i cannot believe i’m having this conversation in regards to a kid’s cartoon character, but trans healthcare education is piss poor in my country, so we take opportunities where we find them

poc stands for people of color and person of color. “pocs” is wrong.

it’s not “poc characters,” it’s characters of color.
