disabled gays in trouble!

disabledlgbt:

hi this is one of the mods here on disabledlgbt, me and my boyfriend are really tight in cash since we lost our old social aid and trying to get on ontario social aid instead. we barely have food and cant make rent. we’re both autistic trans guys with ptsd, DID, ocd, and other mental illnesses, who cant work due to trauma. 

im in a wheelchair (i have a heart condition and intense chronic pain) and need proper food to keep my heart problems stable and not faint all the time. we dont have eggs or milk, and we’re running low on litter for our cats (including bug the cat, which you guys know from that one post!). we dont have a bus card and cant go anywhere. help keep these gays fed and healthy!

we’re getting on social aid in the next few months but until then we’ll be starving. we’ve been getting by with rice and soup, but we’re having a really rough time of it. any amount helps, even 10$ would help us get through the next few days

PLEASE reblog if you can, id be very grateful ♥

I think I’m going to start doing a Daily Doggo post that will probably not be daily and I’ll probably forget about after a few weeks. That said…

1. Corgi puppies come in two models of potato. Very serious & grumpy or bubbly & permahappy. Eventually they all turn into giant goofballs, so if you get a serious, grumpy model… don’t fret. Otis was super serious as a pup, but it was such an adorable kind of cranky that I didn’t mind one bit. 

2. Corgis would be great pirates. They are constantly going arrrrrrf and they have pre-installed peg legs. 

3. Corgis like to challenge themselves by choosing awkward sleeping positions. Can they still fall asleep upside down with one ear missing? Yes. Yes, they can.

4. This is Sid. He went viral for happily holding a giant piece of pupperoni pizza.

5. Sid again. Many years later, still holding that tasty pizza. 

when you see people speaking AGAINST voting in the midterms

think back to the last time you saw a bunch of bloggers saying those things

and how many of them turned out to be employed by the Russian Internet Research Agency to get trump elected

i don’t know whether the russian agitprop bloggers are back under new names or whether there’s a fresh new footbullet brigade who actually bought their nihilistic message, but in the end it doesn’t matter

anyone telling you that, if you hate the way america is turning into a fascist puppet state, you should do nothing, is an enemy

anyone telling you that exercising your rights as a citizen is a bad thing, and that you should totally stick it to the man by sitting around with your thumb up your ass fantasizing about ‘burning it all down’, is a dangerous enemy, or dangerously stupid

and anyone who actually tries to get you to make real plans to go out and blow shit up, do murders, start fires, and get a lot of gung-ho idiots and innocent bystanders killed, is a literal felon, and either it’s a sting or they’re a terrorist

i don’t care if the thought of being a gun-toting shoot-first patriot sounds a-ok to you as long as you’re a leftist gun-toting shoot-first patriot, i am telling you, as Internet Dad, Local Calm Person, and Guy Who Has Seen This Shit Before, put the hateboner back in your pants, wash your hands, and go do what real americans do when they want freedom and progress: VOTE.

Also keep in mind that there is NOTHING about voting that restricts your future options to protest, tear shit up, riot, or otherwise Do A Revolution. Like, I’m not saying you should definitely do those things, but I AM saying that if you think you want to do those things or that those things are the only way to effect real change… you can both vote AND ALSO do those things. 

Voting takes a few minutes, assuming you’re already informed about the issues you’re voting on and don’t have to do more research. It does not take a lot of energy, time, nor does it cost money (you may need an ID, depending on laws in your state, but you’re not going to be charged money specifically for voting). 

And it may not solve everything all at once, or as fast as you’d like, heck it might not even successfully solve anything… but your armed revolution has a pretty significant chance of failure too, so doesn’t it make sense to take any avenue open to you to influence things in a positive direction??? Particularly when, again, there is NO reason to think that casting a ballot will limit your options when it comes to the armed revolution y’all seem to want so badly. 

“All or nothing” is a crappy mentality that generally ends up getting nothing done. 

And also. If you really think there’s no point in voting because all the candidates are somehow “problematic” anyway and no one’s Ideologically Pure enough for you… consider this: Right-wingers have been voting for whoever had a shot at winning that would nudge things even slightly in their direction for a long damn time, and look where it got them NOW. 

Be tactical. Vote.

Mirrors helps me wash the rest of those collards that have been lurking in the fridge for a while! He is very helpful, given half a chance 😹

(No worries about drinking nasty water in this case, thankfully. That’s the final rinse. Greens may be a lot less likely to be grown in sandy soil here, without a bunch of grit to soak off them. But, I still feel like they need a good soak and then a couple of fresh rinses to be clean enough, because training 🙄)

u ever see a pigeon on public transport and wonder if it knows what the hell it’s doing

I get sad because I wonder if they’ll make it back to their families or their mate. 😦

@cinnamonbirbs

Don’t be sad, friend! They know exactly what they’re doing. ^v^

Pigeons have the same cognitive capacity as five year old humans, and have been documented taking advantage of our transportation systems to commute back and forth from foraging grounds farther than they could have easily flown, at a much lower energy cost.

They know the times, which trains go where, where all the best food stops are, and which stop is theirs.

And they tend to be model passengers, taking their seats under the big human seats, and politely filing out at their work and home stops. ^v^

pigeon has responsibilities I’m so proud of them

Animals I have using using public transit:

-Loads of pidgeons

-A group of obviously related crows trying to keep their rowdy kids in line

-Stray dogs and cats

-A whole fucking coyote
