Hi I’m really hungry and can’t find anything to eat for the two dollars I own which wouldn’t last me the rest of the week anyway. If you would like to help me buy something small and sustainable like some rice and bread I would super duper appreciate it.

Since this post was so popular and people seemed to like my ideas, here - have a poll about it! (Options are given as Abbreviation // Stands for // Pronounced)
If you are non-binary but prefer using binary honorifics, please feel free to note that in the tags as well! Binary folks (cis or trans) are welcome to reblog as well (and feel free to note that in the tags) 😊
Also don't forget to fill out the Gender Census if it applies and you haven't already, and feel free to add in any of these options if you want!
I just signed up to offer mutual aid to other trans people in distress though the Trans Resistance Network (US focused). There are tons of ways to help, many of which do not cost money.

Please spread the word of this blog so that people know it exists. This is a safe place for all LGBTQ+ people regardless of gender or sexual identity.
Please reblog for sample size, even if you’re not autistic.
via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.
Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

Thanks Tumblr Dad!
My dear lgbt+ kids,
Dealing with homophobia (and other forms of discrimination or hate) takes a lot of strength.
You may think about people who have to go face-to-face with homophobic people, like listening to (or even arguing against) your dad's anti-gay rant at the dinner table - but it's not only situations in which you could point at one person in the room who is clearly being homophobic right now.
It's also walking into a room full of people you never met and instantly feeling like there's a target on your back. It's sitting amongst your friends and wondering if they'd still be there if they knew. It's lying in your bed at night and feeling overwhelmed by the thought that there is just so much hate out there.
It'd be absolutely wrong to say that being gay is nothing but constant sad thoughts about homophobic people - but we do carry the knowledge with us that homophobia exists. Even if it's not aimed at you directly or you are not staring in its face right that moment, it is a burden to carry that with you.
Sometimes we don't think about that burden at all and sometimes it can literally feel like a huge weight is lying on our chest.
If it feels heavy for you right now, it's not a sign that you are weak. You are actually doing a very brave thing! You are carrying something really heavy... and also invisible. Something you maybe can't really share with others or feel like they don't understand. That is a tough thing to deal with and you are dealing with it! Giving yourself permission to actually feel the weight of that burden takes a lot of strength - and you do that. You feel the weight and you are still here. Good job, little fighter.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Dad

help a queer latinx queer femme afford diabetes meds!! (please don’t scroll) Hey pals, most of you know me as Tai. I’m a 22 year old queer undocumented latinx femme and aspiring novelist, and I’m currently fucking panicking because my health insurance contract just ended. I have Type 1 diabetes, so my body depends on medication that’s vital to my life. I’m on a work visa that expires in a few months, and it’s the only documentation keeping me safe and “legal” in the eyes of the country. This year I’m hoping to complete my green card process so that I can reside in this country for good. My work contract from my last job also ran out and as an immunocompromised person, I’ve struggled to find safe work during this pandemic. I am not eligible for financial aid from the government. This is time sensitive. I’m just looking for support to help me with funding by diabetes meds. This is hugely time sensitive. Feel free to share this link with your immediate community! Any donations welcome, no amount is too small! Your help and support is greatly appreciated. 💖 kofi (preferred)
