Whatcake

I need help raising money so I can get top surgery! Any amount helps, and if you can't donate please consider reblogging or sharing the link with people you know. Thank you!

(more info under the cut)

post the link to this post or the gofundme on another social media where you have followers

post the link to the gofundme on mutual aid subreddits in my name (i dont use my reddit account, so i dont meet karma minimums to post in any of those subreddits)

not every donation needs to be 20, 50, 100 dollars. the minimum donation on gofundme is 5 dollars, but you can use kofi to make a smaller donation. even just scraping up 1, 2, 3, etc dollars to donate is not insignificant and i would deeply appreciate it. if 100 people can only manage to donate 1 dollar each, thats still 100 dollars closer to the goal than i would have been on my own

if you have access to an irl queer space where its acceptable to talk about crowdfunding i would appreciate it being shared there as well; i dont have access to spaces like that due to being poor and in a rural area

Trump says he doesn’t know shit about P2025, ABC News theorizes he’s full of it

The important thing I’d note is that while this transition plan and objective set was created for Donald Trump, it is not necessarily specific to him—this is the distillation of what conservatives have wanted for a long time and WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR even after Trump is no longer in the picture someday. They are proposing it now because they know Trump will be likely to enact these proposals, but understand this: the things outlined in the graphics above are the world the Republican Party envisions going forward regardless of who their candidate is. They are not going away. Unless time and time again those who oppose this vision fight the Republicans at every level of government, one by one the hard fought wins those in the past have achieved will be stripped away.

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket
