READ THE ENTIRE SHORT STORY

What happened in Hungary?? Is there any way we could support you guys?

you can donate to budapestpride, háttér society and labrisz lesbian association! ill add more organizations if i can think of any

if there is an article in english about the situation i cant find it right now so i'll attempt to sum it up

basically our pseudo fascist government granted themselves emergency powers at the beginning of the pandemic and among other things they have been using it to slowly take away thw lgbt community's rights and freedom. trans people can no longer change their name and gender marker and gay couples can no longer adopt children

and most recently (last night actually) a law that is supposed to protect against child predators was changed so that "sex education in schools cannot promote the changing of one's sex or homosexuality" on top of that sex education programs can only be done by the school or a database of organizations maintained by the government. the breaking of these rules (aka telling kids its okay to be trans) would get both the organizer AND the principal of the school into major trouble (think jail)

additionally children under 18 cannot be shown advertisements or educational content containing homosexuality or transgender "propaganda" these materials MUST be marked 18+

40% of all hungarian lgbt individuals have admitted to suicidal ideation, with 30% percent admitting to attempting it. our government is framing this as the protection of the children but what it will actually do is kill even more lgbt kids.

im incredibly angry so i'm sorry if this is not well phrased but this needs to stop because the path we're heading down is gonna end really fucking bad for the hungarian lgbt+ community

help an autistic transmasc 19 year old eat

hi, i feel guilty for posting again but i really need help.

a couple months ago i got into a head on collision with a speeding driver and it totaled my car and left me injured and in debt. the insurance company ruled in the other persons favor since the police gave me a citation for not yielding (even though i did) and they let the other person off for speeding since it was rush hour friday. i have chronic back pain now and i owe the state an amount of money they refuse to tell me for damage to a crosswalk signal the other car did when they bounced off me

i have no money right now at all since i can’t work, have no mode of transportation, and have no income. i have my medication for this month but i know i won’t have money to refill it next month. i completely gave up on my HRT because of this and it makes me extremely dysphoric

im so anxious every single day because of food. sometimes i just can’t help myself from having breakdowns and crying because i just don’t ever feel alert or safe. i spend most of the day sleeping, partially because of depression but mostly just because i’m physically exhausted. i’ve lost a significant amount of weight this month and no matter how hard i try to stretch the money i have it just isn’t enough to be able to eat consistently every day.

if anyone could give me any amount, even a couple dollars, i’d be extremely grateful. if you can’t donate, PLEASE, PLEASE reblog this. i’m really desperate right now and i feel like i’m not going to be able to make it out of this without help.

if you need any sort of proof or confirmation that i’m telling the truth feel free to message me. in general, please feel free to message me- i’m honestly feeling really alone right now and some encouraging words would be really nice.

the funeral (a grotesque display of two queens’ grief, forced on them against their will) being interjected by images of aegon beating blood into a bloody ruin says something about how women’s grief is exploited and paraded around as a virtue while male grief is only allowed to exist in conjunction with violence.

female sorrow is expected to be public, dignified, and even noble, it serves as a symbol of quiet strength and resilience. otto uses it as a tool to gain sympathy for their cause. notice how he forced alicent and helaena into it, while he allowed aegon not to participate. wouldn‘t the king being at the funeral send a powerful message? yes, it would. but otto looks at aegon with contempt, the other councilmen and alicent do not know what to do with his tears. the realm cannot be allowed to see the king grieve. not like this.

male grief is denied its own space and validity unless it manifests in aggressive or destructive acts. aegon realizes this to some degree too— he lashes out publicly by killing the rat catchers. he shows his grief by being violent, by spilling blood.

the toxicity of it all is very effectively shown at the end when aegon is crying by himself. did he retreat there to be alone and finally let it all out? his mother is either letting him have that moment alone or she’s deeply uncomfortable with it and chooses to leave. no matter what motivated alicent in acting the way she did— the moment still reveals how male vulnerability is something people fear. it shows that even the most human expressions of pain are not acceptable for some.

I forgot I do traditional art too lol take these

Imagine you're the leader of this powerful cult surrounding a telepathic egg that expands its vines and followers every day and the one that dares to defy you is a fucking child who never seems to die and his best friend holding his hand, both making fun of you

Urgent Please Read

My father has passed away from Covid-19 yesterday morning. As much as I want time to grieve him; me, my mother, and little brother are in urgent need of money. We had been funded by his SSA checks each month, & now have to contact SS of his death.

Because of this, we will have almost no funding until we are approved for Survivors Benefits. I am currently working but because my father died from Covid, I must remain in quarantine until I can continue. We urgently need to pay $1000 in rent & utilities by August 5th.

Luckily, once I return to work I can handle paying for the other misc. bills. Until then, we need funding however we can.

Ways you can help fund us:
