help a disabled butchfemme couple out!

hello everyone! i hope y'all can take a sec to read this & share it if possible. my femme is going to be moving down to live with me (& my parents) at the soonest next month and recently lost her job due to a petty reason (although she's also disabled & burnt out on top of that) so she no longer has any income to help her save up for the travel we'll be taking. i'm disabled as well & unable to work without it taking a big toll on me physically & mentally but i'm attempting to apply for SSI disability benefits. unfortunately that will likely carry on into next year if i even get approved!

we could really use any help with donations for travel expenses (gas, uhaul, food) and any money left over would stay in savings as emergency funds for her or her pup as well as savings for us to get our own place eventually. i'll link her accs below if y'all are able to donate but if not, it'd be appreciated if y'all could share.

the drive is going to be 12ish hours there & back and we'll be having her pup with us as well. we've only received around ~$120 which we're incredibly grateful for but we very likely will need more for everything.

thank you so much if you've read this & please reblog! links are below:

what sort of horror/theory recs do you have btw?

hii! I have a list of tbr books on butchfemme theory, autobiographical experiences, etc! I can DM it to you if you want (look for the trigger warnings first though).

What type of horror do you like? I have varied recs though, but I'm mostly into visual horror (TV shows, movies) and horror comics. I'm a bit picky when it comes to horror books.

To be a high femme lesbian 🎀

To be a high femme lesbian is to be a protector. Of butches, of history , of selfhood.

To be a high femme lesbian is to be a paradox of all that is heteronormative, of all that femininity is expected to be.

To be a high femme lesbian is to be gentle , to be kind , to be a safe haven for the ostracised stone butch lesbians in my circle and let them know there is a home for them, beating within my ribs.

To be a high femme lesbian is to be authentic , to not perform femininity but to reclaim and redefine it for myself. For the other high femmes I meet , for the butches I cherish.

To be a high femme lesbian is to have your own stone. To not let it be chipped , be melted , be disregarded as heterosexual indecency. To allow your sexuality to flourish in the cradling of a stone butch’s hands. To allow theirs to find refuge in your stone sanctuary.

To be a high femme lesbian is an honour , not to be taken for granted. It is love personified , it is unity and it is freedom.

Facing the Struggle as a Queer Transgender Refugees. We Need Your Help. 🌈

Hi there,

I'm AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and today I’m sorry this might feel random, and I didn’t mean to come to you like this but I'm reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is incredibly harsh for our LGBTIQ community. We’re facing extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter. Each day is a fight for survival, and without basic necessities, it’s getting harder to hold on.

It’s difficult to ask for help, but we have no choice. We’re in a dire situation, and we need your support to make it through. Your donation, no matter the size, can provide life-saving essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. Without your kindness, we are left vulnerable, struggling to survive.

If you’re able, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe⬇️🙏

https://gofund.me/4d80b32c

Your generosity could truly make the difference between life and death.

I also ask you to visit my blog, reblog my post, and share our story to help us spread awareness. The more people know about our struggle, the more help we can get. You can be part of amplifying our voices when we have been silenced for so long.

I know it’s hard to ask for money, but we are in desperate need. We can’t survive this alone, and we rely on the compassion of those who can offer even a small bit of help.

Thank you for your time, for caring, and for sharing this journey with us. Your support is everything.

With deep gratitude,

AshleymilesPhil

I can't donate any money at the moment, but I will share it so that it can get to someone who can ❤️❤️❤️❤️

could talk for hours about the biases and ableism in wanting strong bodied butches specifically and rejecting those who are not. Same with fatphobia.
