hello readers, friends, interested observers. wel

hello readers, friends, interested observers.

well, it's been a while since i needed to make a post like this. as always, i hate it and i've been putting it off. but i know i will feel better after asking.

very long story kinda short, my lil family has been spared from the worst of the pandemic for the most part. i was "long term unemployed" by the time it hit, having never found steady work after graduating. so i was already used to hustling, had already whittled back our budget. the stimulus check my partner got helped make up the difference in facilitation & writing opportunities, well-meaning white strangers and friends donating in honor of the uprisings and Juneteenth buoyed us, and of course there was all the amazing community support that got us into 2020 in the first place. but now we are in august, and the financial consequences of the pandemic are here. because folks couldn't get their shit together and wear masks, because no country wants to let US citzens in with our typhoid mary asses, the summer research trip overseas that was supposed to make up for my partner (a teacher) not getting a paycheck in august never happened.

tl;dr: we need $2190 this month to pay rent & utilities and buy food. i'm asking for help. if you are able to spare some cash directly, that would be most helpful. there are also other ways you can support in my linktree and at tashafierce.com/support .

there is some light on the horizon for us after this hell month is over: i started a new remote part time job last week, writing content. don't get paid until the 15th tho, and it's only $60 for 3 hours. i should get a few hundred on the 31st, but we have past due bills now, so...

Posted @withregram • @dr4gon_femme CN ABLEISM: I feel like shit today, its been coming in waves since yesterday. my dad was told about me talking about the toxicity of living with him on my page by a relative so he confronted me, aggressively, and it was like deja vu... this isn't the first time a snitch got involved in/risked my safety while I was living with an abuser. but then he went on to blame me for his various physical and mental health issues and said its depressing HIM for me to be here. both my "parents" have said things like this most of my life and ex partners as well. I don't even feel like a burden, at this point I feel like a fucking plague, contagious and to be tossed out, avoided at all cost. all Ive wanted to do most of my life is be safe. be able to have a consistent protocol to manage my pain and illnesses and instead ive had to run from house to house, state to state to fucking state since middle school to escape abusers. I'm tired. I'm tired of holding the weight of my addicted, suicidal parents and having to prove I'm doing the work.. cuz I fucking AM doing the work.

I need community and funds for relocating more than anything rn. so my current plan is to stay here at least another 3 months (but only 1 more in this house) then head back to California where i KNOW I will be loved n supported and cared for. Thank y'all for being here and lifting me up from afar❤.

repotted the cinnamon basil and took some pics of the rest. it’s been hot af the past week but today is better. heat induces flares of my cfs/fibro so i am resting, listening intently to my bodymindsoul & leaning into pleasure, reminding myself that my body is more than a source of suffering or an obstacle to overcome 💗🌗
