me:*hangs out with someone for 3 hours* me: oh hey, I just remembered I have to tell you something me internally: that was a lie. I’ve been wanting to tell you all day but I’ve been too nervous to just say it so I’ve been mentally rehearsing for hours and

Help a trans girl not end up homeless!

Hey people, I’ve been away for some time now due to… a lot of things to be honest. I was staying at my friend’s family’s place for a while but they had their own struggles and I had to move away. Fortunately I had a job at this point so I’ve been able to stay off the street, but I got fired last month and almost got evicted. I’m still at the same place, but I HAVE to pay up last month’s and this month’s rent by dec 5th if I wanna stay here. I got a new job but my probation week is starting in 2 weeks, and I won’t be payed until that’s over (which won’t be enough anyways), and then if I get the “permanent” position, the payment again won’t arrive until next year. I’m in deep shit and my mental health issues as well as dysphoria are making it all so much worse, so if anyone could help me out in any way at all, like boosting this or asking others to boost, or even donating, I’d be SO grateful to you. I literally don’t know what else to do. I have no one at all to turn to.

This is my kofi: https://ko-fi.com/mapleee, you don’t need an account to donate. You can see my goal there and how much has been fulfilled as well. Again, thank you so very much!

you will not be stuck here forever.

they will guilt you and force you to attend every meeting and participate in every activity but one day you will be gone and they won't be able to control you anymore.

one day you will not be forced to find solace in church bathrooms.

Honestly, Rick Rolling is the best practical joke ever. Like, there’s nothing offensive or mean  spirited about it. It’s just like “Oops you thought there would be something else here but it’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’.” which isn’t even a bad song. It’s fairly enjoyable to listen to. There’s no jumpscares, no screaming, no ill will. Just Rick Astley telling you he’s never going to give you up. I think that’s great. “You fell into my trap! Here, listen to this completely benign song that will have no negative effect on you.” 

Perfection

some days its worth going on 4chan and wading through the garbage for gems like this

PLEASE DO NOT GLANCE OVER THIS!!

Help a trans girl escape from extremist parents, organized by Audrey Ashe

My name is Luna, I am 18 years old and I am an atheist transgender woman … Audrey Ashe needs your support for Help a trans girl escape from

My dearest friend of over two years needs your help escaping from her extremist parents!!

She's looking to plan her escape from the country but lacks the funds. Read above for more information. This is life or death for her, so EVERY PENNY COUNTS.

DONATE IF YOU CAN.

She's been struggling with an immense amount of mental issues, and if she doesn't manage to get out of there, or someone in her family catches onto the fact she's trans, I genuinely fear for her life.

For any questions or if you simply want to show your support but lack the money, you can PM @lunar-eclipse03. She's lovely and willing to explain things if you have any concerns.

PLEASE SHARE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. LET'S GET LUNA OUT OF THERE.

Family means the knife held against my throat is done out of love

Just remembered how as a child I was really weirded out by the idea of marrying a man. So my dream was to live with my best friend who was a girl in the city and adopt a puppy together. I was like, "Haha I don't need boys i have my friend who I'll cuddle with in our king sized bed."

Anyway I'm gay and I don't know how nobody noticed.

Thank you for this

how long does it take zuko to convince his staff that he isn’t gonna slap, punch, beat, banish, or otherwise assault them?

that they aren’t about to lose their job (or life) over a spilled cup or broken vase?

that he’s not trying to trick them when he says they can relax the ornate and complex flattery each time they leave the room?

that he means it when he bans corporal punishment in the palace (and out of it) and that they really can come to him if someone forgets that rule?

that they haven’t upset him or wronged him when he asks to take his meal without the full serving staff of twenty watching him?

zuko is sensitive, even when he tries not to be, and watching these people be so afraid of him would break his heart. but that also means we gets to see it when they begin to open up to him.

firelord zuko who’s feeding the turtleduks when a toddler comes running over. she almost topples into the water but zuko sweeps her up before she’s in any danger. he holds her in his lap and shows her how to feed them gently. when the mother comes careening out screaming for her child she stops short at the sight of zuko and collapses into a bow, head to the floor. she begs forgiveness but zuko shakes his head, and offers his hand for her to stand. he hands over her daughter, asks the girl’s name. his guard calls him back into meetings so he leaves with a smile and a bow to both of them. it’s the first time a child hasn’t been afraid of zuko here in the fire nation, and he smiles all week

firelord zuko who spends months trying to win over the kitchen staff enough the let him make his own tea. they refuse at first (as much as one is allowed to) and stand on principle. but zuko is patient, so patient, so he begins to visit the kitchens once a week. he tells the head chef he’s going to come, it’s not a surprise. and he just thanks the staff, asks their names, maybe mentions an earth nation dish he had that’s native to a region who’s dignitaries are coming. once he’s been a few times he asks about their lives. simple things, never much more than yes or no answers; he doesn’t want to force them into speaking more than they’re comfortable just because he is their firelord. but 10 months in, and he finally convinces the guards, tasters, and head chef he can make his own tea. the head chef still insists on checking the tea as it comes in (special shipment from the jasmine dragon of course) because he’s been working in the palace for a long time and he’s seen many leaders but zuko is the first firelord he’s actually wanted to serve. and he’s seen this 18 year old kid trying so damn hard to help the palace and nation heal, tying so hard to win favor with his dishwashers, that he wants to keep safe. he may not prepare the tea, but not a leaf gets to the firelord that isn’t personally checked by him.

and in a couple years, the permeating sense of fear and dread begins to leech out of the palace. maybe the maids start humming in the corridors, maybe the washer women laugh and talk as they go about their business, maybe the royal dressers don’t flinch at the scars all across their young leaders skin anymore

maybe the country is being run by a smart, kind, genuine young man who works tirelessly to restore their honor as people of the fire nation. zuko brings music, art, poetry, dancing and life back to the fire nation. he teaches the wisdom he learned from the sun warriors and old masters: fire isn’t just hate and death. it can be life, light, a sun blazing inside you and he fosters that light in his people. so they can shed the last 100 years of hatred together and foster a new nation of peace

After everything with moving away, leaving the cult, graduating, making real friends, and being able to be openly queer... I still miss my parents so much

They treated me awful and still haven't really apologized. They're all sad I'm not in contact with them but have done nothing besides decide "I guess we should stop messaging since they asked us to". This is safer for me but God I want parents. The bond between parent and child and the security of having a guardian to rely on is a privilege ripped away from me.

I love my found family, but wish my biological ones were what I needed and deserved.
