Police are investigating the death of a 22-year-old transgender woman of color, identified as Deeniquia Dodds, who died Wednesday night after she was shot in Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July, a local television station WRC reported. Joeann Lewis, who raised Dodds, told WRC that she was a “beautiful person” who “loved to make you laugh.” Why police are not yet investigating it as a hate crime.

I’m not you , Mom and Dad.

I’m not like you. I’m not happy here in this small, podunk, redneck, town. I’m not like my sisters and brother who have found peace within a town that had no growth or acceptance of changes. I know I’m young, stupid, naive, but I know that here is not where I want to stay. I’ve found someone who makes me ecstatic knowing they are my best friend, but I can’t tell you that my best friend isn’t from here. You say that my friendship isn’t real. You’ll say that the way both of us feel for one another is just a silly dream. Is it really just a silly dream when I’ve been friends with him for years now and been in love with him for the past three years? Is it really just a silly dream that my friend loves me in the exact same way I have for the past year? When he comes to visit are you just going to sit there and judge him because he isn’t a Native American or a woman? I’m sorry, Mom and Dad, but your wishes for me in my intimate life are not necessary. I may not be the daughter you want but I’m the daughter you have. I’m tired of bending to the ways of you; constantly suppressing who I am in order to not be reprimanded and told of how “selfish I am” when I’ve given up fighting and let you control me like a marionette doll. Let me live my life and let me be happy without you. I need to lead my own life without you looming over and judging every step of the way.

hiiii guys.

So the reason I’m writing this is because about three weeks ago I fainted at work and smacked my head against the concrete floor. I was bleeding from the back of my head so, against my wishes and vehement protests, my coworkers called an ambulance and I was taken to UMass Memorial for a CAT scan. Fortunately, all I have is a ruptured eardrum (I can’t taste or smell anything which is really disconcerting but, I’ll live lol.) and I had a concussion. Unfortunately, I do not have insurance. I was billed $743 for the ambulance and over $5000 for the CAT scan. 

This isn’t the first time I’ve asked for help from this site and people have shown me a kindness and generosity that still awes me. So, honestly, if no one thinks my need is dire, just ignore me. My need ISN’T life or death, it is however another example of our health system screwing us over in this country. If anyone can find it within themselves to help, I’ll appreciate it. I can’t afford these bills and I’ve already missed a substantial amount of work recovering. 

Anything helps, including just sharing this. 

Dude, even just sending me good vibes.

Thank you, 

Em.

My situations gotten much more dire. My family is emergency relocating out of the country, forcing me to move out. Any money I had saved went to my medical bills and now I don’t have anything to survive a move. My family’s poor, they can’t help me with any money and I have absolutely no money to live on my own. I don’t know where I’m going to go or what I’m going to do. Please, please please help me. I’ve never been so afraid and desperate and worried. I can’t sleep or eat or even sit still. I feel like I’m being squeezed through an anxiety tube every second of the day. It’s bad. It’s really scary. If you can, please help. Or please, please reblog this so maybe someone else can help. Please.

Well, last night some dude swerved out of his lane and hit the car I was in head on. When it rains, it pours.

Incredible illustrator @thelatestkate has never been afraid to talk about difficult topics; in the past, she’s shared her personal experiences with depression and leaving her religion, and her courage and candidness are always inspirational to us.

Today, she deals with another serious issue: how to cope if your parents are bullies. Bullying may seem like something that just happens in high school hallways, but it can happen at home, too—and if it’s happening to you, please know that the SparkLife community is always here for you, and that there are places you can turn to for help

I know so many of my friends who were teens and young adults had such a hard time coping with their parents and couldn’t wait to get away from them and in some ways were trapped with them. I wish this had been around then.
