i am a disabled black agender person trying to pay my $560 rent that is due on september 1st (2016). the diner i work at is over staffed so all of the shifts, and i mean all of them, are filled until september and i cant look for another job that pays enough for me to get buy..
please consider donating, i currently only have $20 in my name and two bills are due in a week. i would feel very blessed if you could send $$ my way. *anything* is enough!
if you cant donate, please please consider sharing this post.
Tumblr, this seems like the perfect job for you. We all know Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary is like the best place ever, and now they’ve sounded the horn of Gondor and are calling for aid. If you don’t live nearby, or can’t foster, maybe boost? Do it for Leo and for Mildred, and Captain Ron.
I am a single mom of a transgender daughter. I am trying to fight for full custody of her because her father is trying to force her to be a boy. He is a “Christian” who believes that it is against the bible to be Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender. He has made it clear that my daughter, Bel…
If you can talk the talk of support, then should damn well walk the walk and help this poor kid and her desperate mom.
“As many know, Bella and I have been fighting for a long time for her rights. My ex-husband has decided to file for sole custody, attempting to make it so I can’t see, or talk to my child ever again. He does this all because he needs power and control over me even though I am not with him any more. He uses Bella to hurt me. Andy is an evangelical christian who uses his religion to force Bella to be someone she’s not. Her happiness doesn’t matter to him, he only wants her to hurt me. Andy was very abusive towards me and I left him to get away from it and keep Bella safe. We had been fighting to try and take his rights away but he waited until I was beat down and couldn’t take any more, afford to fight him anymore, and at my absolute lowest, and he coersed me in to signing over temporary custody of Bella, while I was stuck in a room with him, having a nervous breakdown due to circumstances. Knowing I had an attorney, Andy and his attorney chose to go around that and make sure I did not have the chance to get my attorney involved.
Andy filed for sole custody shortly after moving Bella to Colorado. He refuses to get Bella in to counseling with a qualified person, denying her identity despite her being insistent on who she is. He’s cut off her hair, is making her talk to Christian counselors who tell her the same thing her dad does, that it’s shameful to be who she is, and that she has to do what god says. Bella is insistent with me that she will never be anyone other than Bella.
My attorney has told me that the only way I will be able to get Bella back, and keep her safe, is if we get a Guardian Ad Litem to monitor her there, and show that her dad is not making any effort to support her identity. This costs more money than I will ever be able to save. Cost for Guardian Ad Litem can be up to $20,000. If I don’t raise this money, I will lose my child forever to a man who purely hates me and wants her only to make me miserable. I love my daughter more than anything and it’s killing me to be away from her. Please help bring Bella home to me! #hernameisBella”
The fundraiser has been up for 16 months and they only have $6,000 of their $10,000 goal, and the mother still hasn’t gotten Bella back.

Hacktivist collective Anonymous has threatened to take down 2016 presidential hopeful Donald Trump, this time declaring “total war” on the GOP frontrunner. Anonymous’ war plan against Trump includes dismantling the candidate’s online presence and digging for dirt on the business tycoon in an attempt to destroy his brand. And you don’t need to be a hacker to participate.
Okay so.. I feel really weird and shitty making this post. But with the love and support of some tumblr friends and mutuals I decided to give it a shot..
if you could please donate to my paypal.. even if it’s 5cents or a dollar, anything helps. And if you can’t donate, but would be so kind as to send some positivity my way, or even just reblog this It would be so appreciated..
Again, I’m so sorry to have to do this.. It’s embarrassing and I feel so pathetic and selfish, but I don’t know what else to do. Thank you in advance to anyone who donates, sends some positivity my way, or even reads this.. Thank you.
A Google Chrome extension that you can press when you think something may be triggering to another person out there. It’s a crowd-sourced thing, so the more people use it, the more it will be able to warn us 30 seconds in advance so we can decide if we want to keep watching. Brilliant.
This isn’t captioning related, but it definitely falls under the banner of ‘Access for All’
I just downloaded it and this is what the list of trigger categories looks like:
it looks like it will be very useful for anyone who is concerned about being triggered. i dont have netflix so i cant see how it actually works with netflix but if anyone has tried it hmu pls!
Nearly every story you’ve ever read about a trans woman was written by a cis person.
This summer, twenty-six trans women writers will gather in New York City, the publishing and literary capital of North America, with two world-class instructors, to study, and to hone our craft.
Please donate today to help us realize this unique creative opportunity. Your donations go directly to paying for tuition, travel, and accommodation costs for participants who otherwise could not afford to attend.
