plarp?

we found out last month that my father has cancer. he doesn’t have much time left (i won’t get into the details, but he’s not doing well). i started my new job, but i’m getting eaten alive by travel costs & constant stress. i desperately need to get an oil change and fix my car up, i’ve been driving non-stop all year (i rely on doordash/uber eats to pay my bills, not to mention driving back and forth from my parents house to help my aging mother prep for palliative care; solid 4 hours round trip)

if you enjoy my blog, perhaps consider tossing a few coins into the coin hat below or sharing this post. as always, i appreciate all of your support. times are hard for all of us

I beg y’all please help or share 🙏🏿 Lost my job June 16 alongside 2 Black employees and I’m currently facing an urgent utility hardship. My electricity has been disconnected since June 24, leaving me without refrigeration, cooking access, or laundry.

I’ve been surviving on peanut butter sandwiches since I can’t store food, and I can’t run a fan or AC in this heat. A friend has been bringing me a charged portable charger daily so I can keep my phone on and apply for jobs. I’ve honestly been bawling my eyes out trying to get through this and figure things out.

Electric Bill: $664/$1,934.80

Venmo: Queenloki89

it helps me pay for:

- bottom surgery

- laser hair removal

- college

it also gives me more time to devote to:

- my writing

- Transfem Voices Project

- development of my game, Enter the Wyrm, which is playable now for free in open alpha!

thank you 🫶

some people have been trying to rehabilitate the idea of "TVP for trans men," and I'd like to ask that these projects don't try to deliberately style themselves as counterparts to TVP

TVP is not the pink version of something blue, its existence since the outset has been as a fundamentally transfeminist project, and this purpose will be trivialized if it is presented on the same "shelf" as anything else, so to speak. TVP centers transfems because we are decentered everywhere else. if there is a companion project, our voices will inevitably be decentered in favor of it
