I’m a black trans woman fighting poverty and homelessness.

To support myself, I set up a patreon where you can get access to all my recipes, poetry, artwork and photography for just £5.

Links to support me here.

there are four of us total, two of whom only became homeless last month. since then we've been living in an extended stay hotel and trying to get through all of the bureaucracy we need to in order to get things like ssi and food stamps. we've run out of money to stay in the hotel and need some help to keep paying for it.

we're living in the american southwest, and a heatwave is currently hitting our area. several of us have problems with body temperature regulation, and being out in 40°c/100°f+ weather will be very detrimental to our health, if not potentially deadly. the hotel is about $330 for a week, which is what i'm asking for here.

if you can, please, please help. i'm applying for work and trying to find other ways of making money in the meantime, but currently we don't have any means of keeping ourselves in air conditioning. thank you for reading and reblogging this post

some of you might recall that back in may, i was raising funds to pay an £1,800 invoice that my former university was threatening to send me, but repeatedly did not do. well, over 60 days late, i have finally received this invoice, and as i am still unemployed and living on benefits, i'm going to try and ask for help again. apologies to those who helped me last time, whose donations i have since had to spend on food rather than saving for this.

i have 30 days to make this payment. please help if you can afford to, or send this to people who are able.

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you've seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn't feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there's a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people's kidneys, meaning we're less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren't getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you've requested, say to them the following:

If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.

How should you respond when someone tells you they have low empathy?

A. Compare them to Jeff the killer

B. Back away and look at them weird

C. Tell them you support them, and ask if you can do anything to make your interactions easier
