Help your local Nonbinary transsexual afford a name change and recover from a previous living situation

I'm not comfortable listing out my entire life story, so here's the short version:
About six months ago I managed to escape a very abusive living situation to move in with a friend halfway across the country. However getting my life together after being trapped for years costs money, and currently I'm lucky if i can scrape up £50 a month. My health is in the fucking garbage and falling ill repeatedly has set me back multiple times

So hey I'm setting up a Ko-fi so I can maybe actually contribute to food and start saving for shit like:

  • Changing my name
  • Fixing my laptop & phone
  • Joint supports so I can walk reliably
  • Shoes that aren't falling apart

Currently I'm legally couch-surfing and can't do anything before I change my name, so to sweeten the deal, I will doodle you things in return for kofi donations if you leave a request in the message box <3

thankyou for reading !

if i see one more fucking ‘reject modernity embrace tradition’ meme i’m going to lose my shit

itched

it costs literally $0 to give a fuck about jewish people and not use fucking nazi slogans as ‘memes’

itched

just don't say nazi shit. it’s easy. think about this: will not saying nazi shit have an adverse impact on my quality of life? if the answer is yes, then you're probably a nazi. if the answer is no, then you can stop it and easily make the world a safer and more comfortable place

I had no idea this meme is a fascist dogwhistle thing. But I looked it up and it’s clearly a thing fascists like, taken from the first two definitions of fascism by Umberto Eco, who lived under Mussolini’s fascist reign:

  1. The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
  2. The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”

the other 12 are at the source: https://kottke.org/16/11/the-14-features-of-eternal-fascism

Budweiser beers used it in an ad tweet, but removed it when called out on their bullshit: https://www.newsweek.com/budweiser-tweeted-2-umberto-ecos-elements-fascism-1527252

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

“Where did u get all this”

“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”

“oh yeah tru”

I don’t know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when I’m watering, because it gets to 105 here and we have mosquitos so I need to be covered. What type of linen do I buy? Also, linen pajama shorts, yes/no?

(I’ve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)

systlin

Medium weight is what I’d go with.

And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.

Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things

Mood doesn’t specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so

withbroombefore

Dorr Mill Store has a great selection of wool fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns.

i hate the “on average a user only sees 25 posts per session so they have to be good and varied” bullshit on that staff post. if i open tumblr and the 25 posts i see are nothing but a single mutual mass reblogging their favourite thing that i couldn’t care less about. well. that’s what i enjoy

snazzy-hats-and-adhd

If my beloved mutual needed to reblog a thing 25 times then by all things sacred I am going to read it once and then scroll past it 24 times as they intended me to!
