Hey Guys, I Know It Sucks To Hear But I Mean It In The Most Relatable And Non-aggressive Way Possible.

Hey guys, I know it sucks to hear but I mean it in the most relatable and non-aggressive way possible.

And before you get mad, I do have a chronic illness, some mental diagnoses I’m being treated for, and I’m also LGBT+.

I need you to imagine I’m sitting down with you and not attacking our own community when I say this. For our own mental health, we gotta stop getting mad at every little slip up, or mistake that someone who doesn’t understand our struggles make.

We can’t assume everyone is going to understand us, or know what we need for accommodations right off the bat.

Now I’m not saying you can’t get frustrated or vent to friends about how annoying it is. But we can’t be making a community based off immidiate hatred for people asking questions and genuinely trying to understand our struggles.

If they genuinely are making fun of us for no reason, or don’t want to change their ways to understand,

We have a right to be pissed off and lash out.

But if someone is genuinely and respectfully taking the time to listen to us, and then they ask a silly or offensive question on accident,

We need to let them know in a just as respectful way. We don’t want them to be scared of us right off the bat. If we make that our brand, then they’ll never want to hear us out. They’re people just like us, and they do have a chance to understand and change. We just need to give them that chance.

Give them time to apologize and change into a less threatening person to minorities. Because if we want a community that understands us, we need to help them understand us. We can’t expect every person in the world to do research into every disability, mental illness, or identity. Sometimes we need to be their source.

Only if they’re being respectful about it though - jot that down. If they’re taking away our accommodations for their own needs, or mocking us, then that’s when we need to draw the line.

help lol ableist landlord screwed me over

hi. im aiden, im a mentally+physically disabled native trans person and i live on social security since im disabled and cannot work.

the TL;DR is that i had to spend an unholy amount on just getting my truck back from the towing company over a flat tire coz my landlord doesnt give two shits abt my disability and putting me in danger (and also shamed me to my face for being disabled) so now im flat broke for the entire month of april (also my birthday is in april! how fun! /s) and i need some money to afford groceries and general necessities of the month please.

here’s my ko-fi.

you can also find my paypal and venmo on the page. pls ignore my deadname if u see it.

i already had to keep food and drinks to an absolute minimum for a few days to save up to get my truck out, id like to be able to afford actual food and drinks now coz im malnourished which makes my disabilities - mental and physical - worse.

thank you, whether you reblog, donate, or both. anything at all helps💚

i’ll delete this post when i’m no longer in the danger financial zone so pls click the original post to make sure it is still up before donating!

longer explanation of the situation under the cut, don’t wanna clog dashboards

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS

If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubuskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.
