TW: MENTIONS OF SU*CIDE!!

i apologize if this triggers anyone but this is too important for me to NOT share, especially with it being so close to where i live. it’s really sad to hear that something like this has happened and i haven’t heard a single person talking about it, sad to say i probably would’ve never known about elisa without tiktok.

to any trans and nb people who may see this post, I SEE YOU. i see you, i acknowledge your existence, and i love you. and that will never change, no matter what people say or how many laws the government signs into order. I LOVE YOU and i admire your courage to be unapologetically you. nobody can erase your history, we won’t let them!

rest in power, elisa 🤍 never in vain.

normally I don't care for sports but like I'm sorry I think that halftime show was awesome and Kendrick's whole performance (past the Drake stuff) was extra fucking powerful in my opinion

having Samuel L Jackson play uncle Sam, representing America, telling black folks we're "too loud, too ghetto, etc" which represents our systemic oppression, was just so good....

white racist calling the halftime show horrible is even better. i love black people and being black

Resources For Writing Deaf, Mute, or Blind Characters

Despite the fact that I am not deaf, mute, or blind myself, one of the most common questions I receive is how to portray characters with these disabilities in fiction.

As such, I’ve compiled the resources I’ve accumulated (from real life deaf, mute, or blind people) into a handy masterlist.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener
