hi so i still have a week of c*vid self isolation left, ive lost my job and i havent been able to collect my last paycheck. on top of that my phone decided to randomly update itself (its a super old phone from like. 2015. last time i took it to a repair shop when its charging port burned they told me it was p much miraculous it still works) and now NONE and i repeat none of my apps work. im super glad i have my laptop w/me but i need to stay communicated w/the outside world and in the ppl at my previous job in particular to know wtf is going on with my paycheck. one cant live without a working phone anymore. im desperate besties.
tldr; i got c*vid, lost my job and need a new phone. stat. i could easily get my hands on a decent one with $200usd ($4000mxn) like i’d stated in my previous donation post. i would love to get this sorted by the time im out of self isolation aka july 26th if everything goes right. pls help if you can and if not spread the word :(
Hey, gay working class and gay rural interests, aesthetics, and culture belong within the wider LGBT+ community. Country music belongs in gay spaces. Camo and trucker caps and work boots belong in gay spaces. Trucks and doorless jeeps and shitty old beaters belong in gay spaces. GEDs and high school educations and blue collar jobs belong in gay spaces. Being broke and looking like shit belongs in gay spaces. The community isn’t owned by the wealthiest San Fransisco and New York gay-geoisie. Their interests, appearances, and beliefs do not define queerness.
Me: It’s important to remember to be inclusive of gay people from rural backgrounds.
Parts of Tumblr.com: I have literally never heard of classism and thus have no frame of reference for the idea that I should be nice to people with stereotypically low class interests and so I will make fun of those interests now.
Me: Ah so I see I have overshot where y’all are at
Everyone in the notes: Yas! I love farms! Love them chickens, farm core is my life!
Bitch we all know you like farm asthetique. What we want is support for the Actual rural southern queer community. The trailer park/pre-used prefab queers. The ones who are never going to get more than a 10th grade education and work dirty blue collar jobs with hard labor. And remember that this whole ass time we often have to lie about who we are so we can keep the shitty hard labor jobs that fuck up our bodies. And remember that these communities are also black and Hispanic communities?? I see y'all in the notes “this is so white, this is so white” like the entire South isn’t full of poc and queer poc who struggle even harder because of all this??
Broke: everyone in the rural south is white homophobic racists
Woke: the rural south has large populations of queer poc who get no support and no acknowledgement within broader queer culture past the “gay cowboy” asthetic
“For a moment, or a second, the pinched expressions of the cynical, world-weary, throat-cutting, miserable bastards we’ve all had to become disappears, when we’re confronted with something as simple as a plate of food.” ― Anthony Bourdain, from his classic culinary memoir, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly.
I absolutely refuse to become a mother until I’ve gone to therapy and feel secure enough in healing unresolved issues and that’s on breaking generational trauma baby!

So for Boris to do it to his own, to England, it’s actually quite a progressive move. (Hand clap emoji)”. end id.]
