Oh my God! π You dropped this queen π
also happy pride remember that:
cishet was coined to mean cisgender heteroromantic heterosexual
aces canβt be cishet, as they are asexual
aros canβt be cishet, because they are aromantic
aces and aros deserve to be loved, accepted, and understood
aces and aros donβt deserve the nasty things aphobes say they deserve
troll blogs love demonising ace and aro people by pretending to be one and yβall fall for it every god damn time
aces and aros arenβt confused, incomplete, or broken
aces and aros arenβt cringy
feel free to add onto this if you want
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and itβs less likely to creak
For future reference.
Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.
This new bill has been introduced in both the house and the Senate.
Among other things, it will:
Raise the monthly disability income by just over 30 percent - bringing it to poverty level.
Remove penalties for recieving financial help from friends and family.
Increase the amount of assets a disabled person may have from $2,000 to $10,000 (this hasn't been updated since 1989)
Update outside income restrictions to allow disabled people to receive up to $399 a month without reducing their benefits.
REWARD, not penalize, people who want to receive additional income while on social security income.
REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT THIS WILL REMOVE THE MARRIAGE BAN
For those unaware current regulations do a lot to oppress disabled people. In fact marriage equality doesn't even extend to disbled people who risk having their benefits reduced or outright taken away if they marry someone. This means that in common law states disabled people can't even live with their significant other or they risk losing their financial independence.
Current regulations mean that if you're disbled you can't have so much as one penny over $2,000 to your name. So buying a car and gaining more independence or freedom is largely out of the question for disabled people.
Current regulations penalize social security recipients who receive income from outside sources, even if those sources are reimbursement. Did you get paid to babysit for a few hours? That's income, and you get your benefits reduced. Did you loan a friend $10 and they pay you back? The government considers that $10 income, and you get your benefits reduced.
These aren't mere anecdotes - these are all examples of actual things that have happened to disbled people I know, and if you have any disabled friends in your life I'm sure they can tell you the same stories.
If you value marriage equality, if you value financial independence, if you value the rights of disbled people, please PLEASE support this bill! Contact your reps, vote, and make noise! This is a great thing!
COME ON, PEOPLE! WE'RE BANNING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG!

Listen if you havenβt taken at least a tiny bite out of a chapstick are you even actually living?
For my little sister to get a new service dog that can actually accommodate her needs, it's going to cost $10,500.
American "Healthcare" is a fucking crime against humanity.
I hope this can be a safe space for all who need it. (He/him. Spoonie. Iβm over 18.)
