HELP ME ESCAPE CALIFORNIA!!!

So I've been hesitant to talk about this on the socials, but I'm getting desperate. My parents are conservative Christians and my dad is starting to get more extreme and delusional in his beliefs and I'm genuinely afraid of what he'd do if he found out I was bisexual and have secretly had a girlfriend for two years. I feel so much more relaxed and mentally stable when I don't have to hide such a big part of who I am and how I feel about the most important person in my life.

The transmission in my car picked the worst time to break down on me and I need to get it fixed as soon as possible. It's a 2001 Lexus so as well as needing already hard to find parts, those parts are also fucking expensive. I'm hoping to get by just rebuilding the transmission, which while still pricey, is far less expensive than fully replacing it.

I also need to get my cats fixed as soon as possible. Link needs to be neutered, and Lucy needs to be spayed. Of course she had to wait until right after I made the appointment to get their initial physicals to get pregnant, so it's gonna take a while longer to get her fixed.

I'm willing to offer commissions in exchange for certain donation amounts. You can get multiple commission pieces for larger donations, details can be discussed in the DMs.

My goal is to move out before the end of August. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks to my expert that help me out with my campaign, though not yet completed but still have to thank.

[royaltransfae]

So, as most of you should be aware by the topic of this blog, I am trans.

I recently escaped my lifelong abusive and dangerous living situation and am now looking to start a new life as the person I was always meant to be, not the one I was forced into being.

So my fiancé set up a fundly for me via their account in order to finance the entire thing, and I would really appreciate any and all help you guys can give for this, even if it is just to reblog.

This surgery would mean so insanely much to me. It would genuinely be a massive part of not only my transition but also my recovery from the trauma I had to endure until only two weeks ago.

Hello Mr. Gaiman,

My name is Icarus, I am a trans man and an 18 year old refugee to the US from Germany.

I got away from human trafficking and abuse and am trying to build a life here, and the one thing I want more than anything, that would help me endlessly to start anew and feel more like myself, is top surgery.

Not only would it ease my gender dysphoria, it would also finally disconnect me from my abusers and those who hurt me. All I am asking for is if you could share the link to my fundly, where I am collecting the money for it, since I am not yet legally allowed to work.

Even then, all I own is a backpack of clothes from when I ran and a few things that have been gifted to me, so my earned money will go into rebuilding my life.

This is definitely a shot in the dark and a desperate attempt in asking for help with a small chance to be seen, but deep down I really believe that this will not get swallowed in your ask box.

Regards,

Icarus

Good luck!!

HELP PARTNER ESCAPE CALI

So our partner @glitchyartist is in a really dire circumstance right now. Her parents are conservative christans, her father being a preacher at their church. And her father is rapidly getting worse and we are extremely concerned that he will hurt her if he finds out that not only is she bi but has had a secret girlfriend for almost two years now.

She needs funds for a small moving truck or van which minimum is $965 dollars as well as the gas needed to get up here and the boxes. Care for her two cats, who need to be spayed and neutered but sadly one of them is pregnant so that one needs to wait.

And ontop of everything she needs to get her transmitter fixed, which is, around $3,500-$4,000 and since her parents, if they pay for it themselves, won't let her leave until she pays them back $3,000 of it she's stuck.

Overall she needs around $5,500 to get out and up here and she is taking commissions from people who donate to her fund and for us if you commission from us, it will also go to her fund.

Crocheted Giant Heart Pillows - $200

Crocheted Medium Heart Pillows - $80

Crocheted Regular Heart Pillows - $60

Crocheted Roses - $15 dollars a piece or a bouquet of 12 for $140

Crocheted Heart Coasters - $5 for 1 or $15 for four

Please. Every bit helps and you are not required to commission either of us nor donate but at least share so those who can and/or might want to. More links will be added with stuff to access.

And since fundly is being a jerk and wont let people donate regularly here is her

paypal

And her gofundme

Radio Free Monday

Good morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!

Just a note because I've had some inquiries lately -- it's always fine to include more than one way to give when submitting an item for RFM! It's always best to have a crowdfund page of some kind (gofundme, fundly, etc) and only list a direct payment processor like paypal or venmo as a secondary, but including multiple payment methods is okay, as long as you don't mind your paypal/venmo/etc being public.

Ways to Give:

hi-this-is-ali-rae is getting top surgery, scheduled for January; they're preparing for the surgery and the healing after, and raising funds to cover out-of-pocket costs and make their recovery as comfortable as possible. You can read more and support the fundraiser here.

Anon linked to The Big Gay Market, a LGBTQ+ owned-and-operated pop up maker's market in Madison, Wisconsin, which has been in operation for nearly a year. They're looking to move into a bigger venue after receiving fantastic community support, and are crowdfunding via Kiva loan for a down-payment to reserve the space for their next market. (When you support organizations and people via Kiva it's a no-interest loan from you, so the money eventually comes back to the lender.) You can read more and contribute to the loan fund here.

nehirose's cat Winston had to go to the emergency vet last night for pyometra; they were able to get antibiotics and fluids, but she's fundraising for the visit fees and follow-up and spay with a non-emergency vet, which is a struggle with rent looming this week. You can read more and support the fundraiser here, read more and reblog here, or give via paypal here.

News to Know:

Anon wanted to remind folks that the US government is offering another round of free COVID tests; you can order four tests per household, and if you didn't order tests in September during the previous round, you can order eight per household. You can order tests via the post office or the COVID.gov website.

Recurring Needs:

Anon linked to a fundraiser for Alchemia and Bugland, who have urgent financial needs after the loss of their home, and are also looking for media contacts who would be interested in covering their story, or advocacy and legal support in Illinois, particularly support for people with disabilities, autism, blindness, and/or who are LGBTQ+. You can read more at Dreamwidth here and support the fundraiser at GoFundMe here.

gwydion's very elderly car broke down in late October; the repair, to a cooling hose, has cheap parts but expensive labor, and ate most of zir budget for the month. Ze can't do without a car, being disabled, but can't afford to replace it either; ze's raising $280 to help cover bills and the repair. You can give via PayPal here.

gwydion linked to a fundraiser for Squirrel, a good friend who has recently lost his job and needs to raise about $800 to cover bills and food; Squirrel has had a lot of interviews and believes he will have an offer but won't start work until December. You can give via paypal here.

gwydion linked to a fundraiser for a friend, whose dog Rosie needs medical care, dental work, and special food; you can read more and give here at gofundme.

mid-nighttiger linked to a fundraiser for a friend, Katherine, a cosplayer (501st and Rebel Legion, among others) who was in a serious car accident and has had a gofundme set up for her medical expenses; you can read more and reblog Mid-Nighttiger's post here or support the fundraiser here.

rilee16 is raising funds to cover utilities after having to use bill money to cover rent and late fees; Rilee also needs to be able to pay for medication. You can read more, reblog, and find giving information here.

And this has been Radio Free Monday! Thank you for your time. You can post items for my attention at the Radio Free Monday submissions form. If you're new to fundraising, you may want to check out my guide to fundraising here.

Oh god, please tell me, please for the love of god tell me that i wasn't the only one who read TINR at the age of 12.

I found that comic on complete accident when i was just searching for a creepypasta fanfiction. 😭 Also no i didn't got in touch with btd at that age thankfully, i only heard from it maybe once where there was the drama on tiktok where minors played "your boyfriend" and maybe saw some pictures from Ren here and there but other then that i didn't really interacted with it.

I not even sure that i was supposed to read that comic at that time, knowing that the creator wasn't really fundly with minors interacting with her stuff... even tho i think that the comic is really tame compare to her other work.

[subtract-me-from-your-heart]

Hey, y'all. This cute little guy needs some help.

You can read the whole story at my Fundly page below, but basically he's been having seizures with no evident cause for the past week and a half. He's been in the pet hospital for two days now while they do extensive testing and try some treatment options to see how he responds. As you can imagine, that's getting really expensive really quickly.

A few bucks would go a long way toward helping us pay off the huge bills that are piling up. If you can't donate, just sharing this post so it reaches as many people as possible would make a huge difference.

Hopefully soon Cid will be reunited with his family and chilling with his big bros without a care in the world ❤

VANITY FAIR & MISINFORMATION

Ya'll I'm done with Vanity Fair. Let me tell you what they did. Colleen Ballinger (36 Years Old, $12 Million Net Worth) has been accused of (In no specific order):

Blackface & Racism (Including behind the scenes on her Netflix show "Haters Back Off")

Antisemitism (Tweets)

Fatphobia & Encouraging Body Checking (To MINORS)

Pulling a girl's legs apart so far at one of her live shows (the 16 year old child was on her back) that the girl (Becky) was worried she wasn't covered up by her romper. She says people in the crowd looked at her differently after she got off the stage especially "older men." She says she didn't feel safe walking back to her car.

Slutshaming/degrading fans at her live shows, encouraging them to dress less for a "bit" where she called them "porn" (as apposed to a girl she pulled on stage that came dressed as her called "not porn")

Basing a character from her Netflix series on a fan with fibromyalgia. (The fan in question, Ella, is a trans girl who was allegedly made fun of by this 36 year old woman behind her back. Collen was said to have made transphobic comments and saying that Ella was "faking" her fibro)

Running a smear campaign against a 17 YEAR OLD for 3 YEARS, begging James Charles to defend her, which made James' fans harass and dox Adam

Hanging out/lurking in group chats with minors for HOURS a day

Taking advantage of her minor fans (one specifically confirmed case ~4 Years) for free labor for YEARS

Taking advantage of fans for barely paid labor during her tours (Minimum wage for summer long tour, more details on Johnny Silvestri's YT Channel)

Gaslighting, manipulation, and love bombing

Using her Children's Cancer Fund/Charity Event as a tax write off and letting the cash sit in her bank account for months to rack up interest (Using Fundly)

Sending lingerie to a 13/14 year old (and then lying about the "context" after, victim blaming him, a CHILD)

Animal Cruelty/Animal Abuse & Not taking care of her Persian Cats

Inappropriate relations & discussions with minors including but not limited to: divorce, virginity, fav sex position, periods, etc)

Inappropriate behavior with her nephew and sister

Inappropriate YT Thumbnails, Videos, and Series (One literally said "I'm a pedophile!" on the thumbnail)

Having distributed pornography (Trisha Paytas' OF Content) to at least one MINOR (A 15 year old and a 21/22 year old)

Hosting viewing parties to make fun of Trisha Paytas' body and insult her ("We saw a whale squirt and I'm not talking about Trisha Paytas!")

Having MULTIPLE books marketed towards children that encourage bad behavior and include inappropriate topics. (More details below on the books & Vanity Fair trying to cover this shit show up)

Oh, and harassing homeless people

If you're still reading you're probably interested, so I'll just let loose. First, the books. I'm summarize the content, however, you can find something more in depth on YouTube. The books content contain:

Jokes about animal abuse/animal cruelty

irl pictures of a kid on a leash (No, I'm not joking, I think it's her kid)

Ableism (The R Slur)

Transphobia

Homophobia

Sexualization of children

Slutshaming children

Jokes at the expense of homeless people

Normalization of pedo behavior

Normalization is incestuous (specifically pedo) behavior. (Lots of "creepy Uncle jokes that are WAY too serious to be a joke)

"Here's how to get a boyfriend: Get a net, gloves, binoculars..."

What a good boyfriend looks like: ok a couple of famous YouTubers, ok, OH GOD, IT'S SHANE DAWSON

Normalizing r#pe culture: "If someone says no, try harder!"

QR Codes to her own videos such as: "Learn how to twerk (but not "be porn") by Miranda Sings"

Telling kids to get a "clean" copy of the book so they can mess with "this" (the one they're reading) one (greedy mf)

Oh, and I learned a new slur! From a "CHILDREN'S BOOK" "Jipped"/"Gypped", coming from "Gypsy" is offensive to Roma people. I had literally NO idea until this 36 YEAR OLD's CHILDREN'S BOOK

Anyway that is one of her books, I haven't covered the other one or really seen much of it. For additional info, when Trisha asked Colleen if she sent her nudes to people, she lied to her face (you can go to Trisha Paytas' video for the full story of see Johnny S's reaction to it). When Colleen was called out for being a creep (not even that rudely, I might add) she pulled out a ukulele. When Trisha had her nudes sent to multiple people against her will, she APOLOGIZED to Adam (15 at the time) and Johnny (In his early 20s at the time).

This isn't about whether you like Trisha or not, whether you agree with her or not, it's about someone who nudes (OF content behind a paywall) were shared against their will with malicious intent. Someone who was lied to and betrayed by their friend. Trisha had the balls to apologize to people she didn't do wrong, thank Johnny (who posted the barely censored proof of the pictures when he revived his laptop), and say "...She doesn't exist to me anymore." on YouTube. Trisha Paytas is more mature than Colleen Ballinger. period!

The proof of Colleen being a creep has been there the whole time. From having bits such as:

"The Date 'Bit' " Pulling a little boy (9 to 11 Years Old) on stage and acting out a "date in the woods," hiding food down her pants to hide it from the "bears" and having the little boy put his hand down her pants. One little boy is quoted on video saying nervously, "I can't believe I'm reaching in there, right now!" When Adam McIntyre (The face of the victims, harassed for 3 years as a 17 year old, doxed, and now 20 Years Old) was 15 Years old, he asked if he could be apart of the bit he was told "You're too old for that bit."

"The Porn Bit" Some people come to the show dressed as Miranda Sings, Colleen's character. Some people come dressed in "skanky" clothing. Why? The porn bit. One of each is pulled on stage and she calls the one dressed "skanky" (usually a child in a tank top and shorts) "porn." She calls the person dressed as her/Miranda (Usually a white top with long sleeves, sometimes a sweater, and red pants; usually the look is completed with Miranda/Colleen's signature lipstick as well) "Not Porn." Sometimes she'll make a "Anti-Porn Unicorn Horn" (usually a cone made of paper) that she straps to her head and uses to hit the child dressed as "porn" in the chest (or chesticles as Miranda/Colleen puts it). It's very vulgar and you can watch several clips of this bit on YouTube, all with different people and in different years. Just let that sink in.

"The Yoga Challenge/Bit" I'll explain this one with Becky's story. She is a incredibly brave victim of Colleen who has recently (In the past month or so) spoken out against her when a video of Becky was circulating online as people started to realize who Colleen was (but before the ukulele "apology," for timeline's sake). Becky came to Collen's show dressed for the porn bit. She wanted to be picked by her idol and brought on stage (totally reasonable thing to want). So the 16 year old came dressed in a romper, with spandex underneath, just incase. She wasn't picked for porn bit, but instead was picked for The Yoga Challenge. Basically, the screen on stage shows a yoga pose, and you have to replicate it, sometimes this requires two people. When Becky came on stage, Colleen's eyes WIDENED when she saw what Becky was wearing. The yoga pose was shown on screen. A pretty obvious parody of a "missionary pose." Becky got on her back, wanting to please the woman she was a fan of, that she trusted, and Colleen lifted up her legs and spread them as far as she could. Colleen smirked down at Becky as a fart sound played over the loudspeakers. Colleen dashed away, "in character" away from the "fart." When Becky stood up, she was worried the spandex wouldn't cover her, instead exposing her to the packed crowd. When she eventually left the stage many men were looking at her in a "predatory" way in which they were not looking at her before. Becky did not feel safe walking back to her car. Although she doesn't call it SA, she says it gives her the same feeling "...to clean out your insides." It is also one of the debates people can't decide on. Backstage, Colleen was being scolded by her stage manager, told that they "had to remove the "bit"" and that "She really shouldn't have done that." She was described as being "unremorseful."

Side Note: Trent Ballinger was ALSO talking inappropriately with Colleen's fans. One of his first texts to Oliver (another victim) was "My family says (I shouldn't/I'm not allowed to) talk to people under 18."

The most recent development was the Vanity fair article (linked above). It was written by Andrew Quintana (public name, with linked Instagram) and is blatantly malicious. It say factually untrue things such as "Adam McIntyre from Brighton, England" (which has since been edited to not be a included line AT ALL), Adam is from Ireland. The article paints Adam as a liar and a STALKER! You know, instead of the 33 Year Old (At the time) who said in 2020, "Context is important," and then removed the context? Which didn't even make them look better, it just victim blamed Adam? Like damn, I didn't know I live in a parallel universe where sending lingerie to 13/14 year old's was ok as long as I make it LOOK like I WASN'T the one who suggested I pay the international fee AND mail it to them.

The article has several key "gems" such as:

"Such success earned Ballinger a Netflix series, sold-out live shows, and, most recently, rapidly intensifying controversy"

"...HuffPost published its own investigative report: “Her Fans Say She ‘Groomed’ Them As Teens.” In the ensuing weeks, Ballinger would be accused of...performing a Beyoncé song in blackface (as Miranda Sings) to texting a sex worker’s nude photo to a minor."

"(Ballinger’s legal team has denied she performed in blackface, saying she was wearing green face paint for a prior cover of a song from Wicked.) Her Sings tour has since been canceled, her career abruptly stalled. When reached for comment, Ballinger’s lawyer replied in an email that VF’s inquiries were “simply a regurgitation of the baseless and unsubstantiated claims that other media outlets and individuals on social media have reported previously.”"

"The reality of some of these claims, and in turn, the broader narrative around Ballinger, remains murky."

"In a sense, this is a familiar story for the social media age. But Ballinger’s downfall is unique. She brought teens into an adult world and made it feel like it was theirs, then saw those fans turn against her."

"...the product of a particular era of YouTube stardom, of a digital persona able to cultivate a feverish and savvy fandom that’s been trained to reverse course—and maybe, seek payback—with the first spilling of tea..."

"In it, McIntyre told several seemingly unrelated stories. One recounted the time Ballinger sent him lingerie in the mail, to his mother’s horror (the lingerie was new and unworn, and Ballinger has since apologized for sending it)."

"Another was intended to debunk the rumor that he was secretly behind some anti–Miranda Sings social media accounts that Ballinger had gotten wind of."

"A third concerned the fallout of a tweet that Ballinger allowed McIntyre to post—as Miranda Sings, from the character’s Twitter account—that led to him never posting on her behalf again. He’d been considered her “social media intern,” he said, with hopes of being employed by her one day in that capacity."

"It might sound strange to hear that Ballinger had put a fan in charge of her character’s Twitter to begin with, but that access went in line with her public image. Ballinger was closely aligned with her most devoted (young) viewers."

"Ballinger painted a seemingly accurate portrait of the Miranda Sings community: a silly place for kids like McIntyre to belong, looking up to an increasingly famous and powerful public figure. “I’m not a monster, I’m not a groomer, and I do not deserve to die,” Ballinger said in the video"

"Meanwhile, Ballinger continued to work on a YouTube channel that was far from her Miranda Sings satire. “Colleen Vlogs” offered wholesome lifestyle content about her kids. McIntyre appeared to seize on this, accusing Ballinger’s brother’s family—“the Ballinger family,” who have a family-oriented channel—of endangering and “exploiting” their children online."

"“How creepy that I feel I watched them grow up,” he said. “It’s disgusting.” His critique gave way to a denunciation of family channels more broadly."

"He had new details, he claimed, describing staying up with her back when they were close, and listening to her talk about her divorce. According to McIntyre, she embroiled him in a hateful campaign against her ex-husband. Then he came to a realization that shocked YouTube: “This woman used me. This woman groomed me.”"

HuffPost’s published allegations of “grooming” flexibly employ the term in a fashion not unlike how it’s weaponized in right-wing circles against LGBTQ+ people; the described behavior does not approach the sexual exploitation or abuse that the actual definition of “grooming” indicates.

"She took out her ukulele to awkwardly sing through her defense, implying the internet seized upon allegations that she’s a groomer for entertainment. She said she wanted her fans to be her friends, admitting that desire was wrong. “I’m not a groomer,” she sang, “just a loser.”"

"Soon, an old video of Miranda Sings performing “Single Ladies” in dark green makeup was unearthed by former fans—to find it, you needed to have a copy of her book with a QR code linking to it—who said it looked like she’d performed in blackface."

"All of this is being filtered into the current YouTube content machine, wrongdoing exposed with a relentlessness that could rival the anti–Amber Heard brigade."

Vanity Fair's Andrew Quintana really just compared this situation's use of the word "grooming" to how right-wing weirdos use the word "grooming." Oh my god, Andrew! A lot of Colleen's (36 with kids, need I remind you) victims are LGBTQ+ dude...

THEN he compares the justified critique and criticism that Colleen is receiving as 36 year old mother, with over a decade of experience on YouTube and access to parasocial minors as a "Amber Heard-esque brigade." Oh my god Andrew, how is the only thing you edited in this article a line about where Adam IS FROM and you didn't even correct it! This is journalist negligence of the highest degree! This is literally, factually, objectively, defamation and slander.

But most of all, I can't even fathom that Andrew @'ed Adam and then turned off comments on his latest Instagram posts. When Adam went the most recent post that had comments on and asked what was going on (rather politely, considering everything), ALL comments got turned off. When Adam messaged Andrew directly, HE GOT BLOCKED???

Like WTF, Andrew???

Like damn, 1, THE AUDACITY! And 2, what a fucking wimp. A coward is what he is. Support the victims of Colleen Ballinger, if you want more resources you can check out SWOOP's doc or Adam's reaction (For context) to the H3 Podcast (Any episode works, but the latest will give you the most updated info). Anyway...

Please DO NOT harass him, just @ Vanity Fair or something if you want to complain. It's better to support the victims anyway.

Have a palette cleanser meme for the road :)

Sooo this isn’t my usual content & I’m not actually sure that anyone will see this BUUUUT I have started working towards a lifelong dream of opening an independent bookstore and just had to share the news- Sidebar Books is coming to Scottsdale, AZ in 2024!!
