So as many of you may know already a few months back my now ex husband physically assaulted me breaking several bones in my face. Since then he went to trial and was given a slap on the wrist for the assault (12 months probation and 10 days in jail).

Weve since gotten divorced and I got a PFA. Ive been trying to provide for my son as best as I possibly can but being a full time student its hard to keep up with bills. Ive also been trying to get help and ended up diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

I then totaled my car, and the insurance company screwed me on it value. So I had to get a new car and pay for inspection and registration on that. Plus tires.

Except 2 days before Christmas my ex decided to slash my tires and violate the PFA order. As a result hes back in jail and I had to use the little bit of savings I had to get new tires for my car again. The tires were less than 2 months old.

Because hes back in jail however, I am now no longer recieving any child support to help with basic expenses. Plus the few hours I had been getting at work just got slashed as they hired a new full time position.

I hate to ask for money but guys really, its bad. Im at risk of ending up homeless with a 1 year old. Im getting what help I can but theres not much for me where I live. Please consider helping out. Im scared and Im stuck. Ive seen people on tumblr recieve tons of money for a variety of things. Im not asking for a ton here. Just enough to help me make sure my son has food in his mouth and a roof over his head.

Ive added my paypal below. If youre uncomfortable just donating money I also offer tarot readings and other divination services.

here’s a new ideological movement for you: internet iconoclasm

  • stop putting random internet people on pedestals because they’re funny or quirky or for any reason at all actually
  • self examine and self criticize: are you putting too much stock in parasocial internet relationships? are you being mindful of the humanity of others?
  • never lay down your pride to defend someone you’ve never even talked to
  • remember that the person and the persona can be very different
  • if an online celebrity or influencer deserves to be torn down, then let them be torn down.

See, I totally understand the importance of rejecting the earlier tumblr drove to catgoroze every possible element of someone’s personal identity to the most minute detail, with no room for ambiguity, using an ever widening list of obscure terminology. That has the obvious problem of not accounting for the messiness of real experience, and of submitting to the authoritarian social logic that one must make themselves easily comprehensible to others with defined boundaries for their desires and experiences.

But while we abandoned the terminology, we didn’t abandon the logic. We don’t demand to know if someone is demiplatonic or alloplantonic now, but with the fewer categories we fell back on (lesbian, gay, bisexual, butch, femme, etc) we redeployed the same logic of “these must be clearly defined categories with strict boundaries that are comprehensible to all; anyone who refuses easy definition is some sort of evil trickster and/or reactionary.”

And now we have angsty posts complaining about bi women saying “I’m so gay lol” and rigidly defining butch identity with no regard for historical example or contemporary practices. Its the same demand for standardization and control, just with a smaller vocabulary at its disposal.

It’s been three years since DashCon and Fyre Fest has happened. Meaning that in accordance to the Rule of Three, in another three years, a third and final gathering catastrophe will occur with its own symbol joining the ball pit and concierge stand to create an ungodly trifecta.

I cannot wait.
