Of fucking course
What sick bastard doesn’t
Hey everyone-
I still need the full $650 for rent and it is now passed the late fee date. I’m waiting on my tax return to load on my cashapp and an echeck donation to finally load onto my paypal, which will bring me up to about 500. Meaning I still need $150 for rent. Rhat said, I still have no guarantee that either of them will be available to me before we get evicted.
My fiance was able to set up a payment plan for our electric, but we still owe almost $200 by the 10th or we will get shut off. No exceptions.
My fiance and I are also trying desperately to get into a cheaper apartment so we can actually afford our bills and our housemate can only help so much.
I know some people are in deeper than us, but we both have preexisting conditions and cannot afford to be homeless during a pandemic. I’m trying to get unemployment but it’s been a bitch and a half working around the strict hours and they won’t let me file online. Please. Any little bit helps!
Cashapp and Venmo: $indigipunk
DM for paypal.
fan culture and the internet has truly killed so many people’s abilities to feel empathy and have reasonable responses to anything. horrifying news will break or someone will come forward about a traumatic experience and it’ll be turned into a meme or people on twitter will post edits captioned “maybe if they stanned INSERT CELEBRITY NAME HERE instead.” i need you guys to realise that people exist beyond the internet and that people’s lives and experiences don’t deserve to be twisted into some unfunny joke just so you can get some online clout.
“Good cops”
I’ve realized that the more diverse a cast is, the easier it is to spot the racist fans. They won’t ship a white main character with the black girl who’s his love interest because it’s “heteronormative” (it isn’t) and they want more “gay representation”. But then when his best friend is also a person of color they don’t ship them together because they just “don’t see them that way”. But then they’ll headcanon a Tragic Whiteboy Backstory for the kid that said literally 8 words to the main character. That kid will be their favorite character, their sweet little “cinnamon roll”and there’ll be 40,230 m/m fics of him and the main character. “Representation”. My ass.
*dream voice* Hey guys! Today, me and my friend George coded it so that every second we exist in Minecraft, we become more gay. Can we beat the ender dragon before succumbing to the urge to build a cottage and live out a married domestic fantasy? In this video, we’ll find out. Also, according to YouTube’s static’s, only about
Where are those woke white people at!?
Well...
finding out the heights of your internet friends is always the weirdest thing
tw// explosion
Hello, hope all of you are safe and doing well.
You may have heard of what happened in Lebanon today and if not, basically, there was a big explosion in Beirut that affected many cities, destroyed shops, homes, cars, caused many injuries and deaths. The cause is uncertain.
As a fellow lebanese myself (that also lives there), today was absolutely terrifying, probably the scariest moments of my life. We heard a deafening sound as the floors were shaking. Some of us thought it was an attack, others thought it was an earthquake. As soon as it ended many expected a second one, which luckily never happened.
Here's a video of what happened that was sent to me, there are also many others that you can find online.
Windows were broken, doors wrecked, cars flipped over, buildings collapsed, people hit by flying or falling objects, and unfortunately, many didn't make it out alive.
We were one of the lucky ones, our families and friends were all safe and our homes were fine.
Some people couldn't even get out of the crumbling builings, so we saw corpses being pulled out, although some people survived the crash. But wherever we looked, there was blood, poeple were half covered in it, their shirts, pants, hair, everything. And that sight was traumatizing.
We watched the news with elders severely injured, children with blood-spattered shirts and people in pain that couldn't get in the hospitals because they were full.
Some people are missing. Just try to imagine the pain and fear their families and friends are feeling.
Articles about what happened, there are a lot more
Not only are we in the middle of a pandemic, but Lebanon is also going through a very serious economical crisis. To give you an example, before, $1 equaled 1 500 lebanese pounds. Nowadays, $1 equals more than 7 000 lebanese pounds. Not to mention that we obviously don't have any dollars at disposition, so yeah we're fucked.
People are hungry, homeless, unemployed. And even if they are getting paid, it'll be useless since the prices of everything went up because they were affected by the economical fiasco.
Important additional information
Today, I heard my 7 year old cousins scream in fear that they were going to die. I saw my aunt shaking, worried that her children won't survive. I saw my dad freak out while trying to reassure us when we both knew that we were uncertain about the next minutes of our lives. I heard the panic in the trembling voices of my family and friends as they couldn't believe what had just happened. I thought my loved ones and I were going to die in the next seconds.
I'm never forgetting those moments and feelings.
I don't think signing petitions will help, i don't even know if the following links will help either, I just know Lebanon and it's people are desperate for anything because the future of this country is extremely uncertain.

I think donating to the red cross would be the most helpful, so if you are considering it, it'd be great.
There are so many great threads on twitter about what you can do to help, just search help lebanon or something to find them. Also if you can, please donate, and as I said, the lebanese pound is pretty much worthless currently so USD is way more useful to us.
