I’m very much a person who has never once wanted to stand out in her life, because being autistic already made it hard enough to appear normal and blend in. I can have a hard time relating to trans people who are more loud about it and don’t care about passing, but I recognize that’s only my own limited experience
I feel like if you’re transgender, which is inherently a thing that relies on others to respect your lived experience, it’d be kind of hypocritical not to grant others that same consideration
Hey yall, I wanted to make a PSA about this because it’ll be useful to many of you in the United States. You might qualify for public assistance now, specifically because of rising food prices.
The federal poverty line, the biggest determining factor for public assistance, has been kept artificially low for decades because it was based on the outdated assumption that food was the primary expense for most American households. For decades now, shelter has been the larger expense, but the federal poverty limit has still been determined based on the prices of food commodities.
Because food prices have recently gone up, the federal poverty line has gone up significantly as well. This means if you were previously slightly over the income limit to qualify for public assistance such as food stamps or medicaid, you likely qualify now. I’d like to encourage everyone who thinks they might qualify to apply for these programs. The qualification cutoffs are still absurdly low, so please be assured that if you qualify for assistance, you’re not taking something you don’t need or deserve.
Please reblog this if you think your followers will find it useful. I haven’t seen anyone talking about this, it’s just something I noticed recently, so I want the info to become more public to help people who might be struggling.
hope Elon makes twitter so completely obnoxious and inhospitable that it crashes and burns. I hope orgs/municipalities/support teams etc etc stop using it as their primary mode of communicating with the public. I hope to never see a state senators opinion on gay tv shows in helvetica neue ever again. Hope its terrible and everyone loses money and websites around the world stop thinking rounded edges of blue and white is the pinnacle of design. Hope there’s suffering and embarrassment and crying and so on. Praying for this every day join me
admittedly I don’t spend a lot of time on reddit in general so ymmv but the ftm fitness subreddit is literally that “bodybuilders responding to forum post by skinny dude” meme. like every reply is genuinely good advice and/or “you look amazing, king”
honestly I hope elon musk gets in one of his new fancy cars at a demo and the lithium battery just starts melting and he cant open the door because of the shit ass “safety” features or bust out the reinforced bulletproof windows while cameras are rolling so we can get like 12 different angles of his skin and eyes and lips and connective tissues and hair and muscles melting off his screaming skull
