I know, everyone and their mom is tired of seeing this from me, but I'm seconds away from a total mental breakdown about this at any given moment.

I took all of my money, all of the cash we had in the rainy day jar, and even pulled the < $1 I had from my savings account to pay the second half of rent for the month. After that, I am at -$575.

Because my employer is only giving me $25 a week during my medical leave (< $10 after tax), and I have no idea when I'm going to actually get money from the state. I have another job I'm pursuing (just praying I get called back for the working interview or at least an answer this week), but I won't get paid from that until I actually get the job and, you know, actually start working.

I just want to have positive money at the end of the month, so that rent will actually take out of my account again. It's going to put me back in the toilet after that, but I just want to know we'll be able to keep our apartment in May, you know?

I can't even keep Dashing because my car has no gas in it. I'm not getting Etsy orders. I'm stuck at home while Kit is at work and I hate that I can't do anything to help right now. Any little amount will be helpful, or even a reblog if you can't give anything right now.

[ID: two gifs from various episodes of 911.

GIF 1: Buck opening the door to his apartment with his mail in one hand, phone pressed to his ear with the other. He's saying "Go for buck" as he answers the phone.

GIF 2: Tommy exchanging a look with Hen in the co-pilots seat before he takes a deep breath and says into his radio, "Go for Kinard."

There's a lot of discourse in the 9-1-1 fandom about representation at the moment in the wake of the whole bucktommy/buddie debacle. But there's one really important example of representation that people don't give the current Buddie relationship enough credit for.

Two men in an emotionally supportive yet platonic friendship.

Western society teaches men that the only emotional support they should get is from their mothers, and then from their romantic partners. That is toxic masculinity at its most caustic.

Seeing Buck and Eddie shedding that, and supporting each other so completely without the pretense of a romantic relationship is So. Fucking. Important.

The fact so many people look at Buddie and say 'there's no way two men could be like this and be platonic' is why it's so important to me that they are.

Their relationship isn't lesser because it's 'just' friendship. There is no 'just' about it. If anything, the fact that they are friends, not lovers, makes their relationship an even more important thing to have represented on screen.

Even after all this time and awareness, it feels like asexuality is still not treated like a proper sexuality. Recently had a girl tell me that she was at a place where she ‘felt so asexual’ because all the other girls were so beautiful and guys were ignoring her because of it. She didn’t know I was asexual and I didn’t take offence (I know she didn't meant it in a malicious way) but it does feel uncomfortable that people are using ‘asexual’ in lieu of ‘unattractive' or 'lacking sexual appeal.' It's really giving 90's/early 2000's slang of using 'gay' to mean 'lame.' Even shows like Brooklyn 99 which took immense pride in being progressive with their comedy, had an episode where one of the characters says "Oh, and I'm sorry if we implied you're both asexual nerds who can only be friends with service animals."

I have mentioned this before also, when I talked about how I feel like people are more comfortable erasing the identities of canonical aro/ace characters in media but act like it's unacceptable with other sexualities... but it does feel like asexuality (and aromanticism tbh) are still not considered 'real' sexualities. In the case of shipping fictional characters, I understand there is nuance to that issue and so don't want to get into it, but it does kinda add to my point.

Why is it that people treat asexuality like it's not a sexuality? Why is it that when I come out to people I'm met with insistence that I'm wrong about my sexuality, that I'm 'self diagnosing' (it's not a medical condition), that I'm probably 'just inexperienced' or haven't 'met the right person' or have a hormone issue? Why can't people just accept that it's a sexuality like any other??
