We’ve all licked our candy canes into a shiv but who here as ever actually used one for its true purpose? You know who has.
Happy Holiday Homicide!

With the holiday season coming up, a reminder that the salvation army is STILL homophobic transphobic garbage. Rather than donate to them, make a note of how much you would have donated to them while you were walking by because they were there, then give that money to a different charity you believe in.
Your yearly reminder that as a religious organization the Salvation Army is not required to release its financials, and they have repeatedly refused to do so, which is within their legal right but means you have only their word for where your money is going. But clearly the Salvation Army should not be trusted to be decent human beings, so why trust them with your donations?
Also your yearly reminder that your options are not “The Salvation Army” or nothing; there is a vast constellation of charities for you to choose from in your holiday giving, and you will get more value for your dollar elsewhere. If you’re not sure how to choose a charity, I have some beginning guidelines here and here.
Oh hey look this is what i was just talking about in my last post lmao
Disability services cut has threatened my life
I’m bedbound & can’t even walk for food & water; without disability care, I WILL NOT SURVIVE.
By tomorrow Dec 19, $2822 ABSOLUTELY MUST be raised for my care, or I COULD BE KILLED by dehydration.
Update: $52 received so far, $2770 left to raise!!! it’s EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to reach the target by tomorrow and I fear life-threatening neglect. PLEASE, PLEASE - reblog/donate!!
My CRPS leaves me completely bedbound, unable to even walk for food and water. Despite ~33 pages’ disability evidence, a widely criticised gov. department [1] [2] [3] cut all of my care. I’ve been living in CONSTANT FEAR FOR MY LIFE for MONTHS. This fear has been destroying me, physically & mentally. I rely on this fundraiser to prevent the fatal dehydration that could result from lack of carers to bring food and water to me.
Without regular cleaning, my lease could be terminated next month. Finding accessible housing (less than 1% of all homes) is virtually impossible & NO ONE CAN SURVIVE HOMELESSNESS BED BOUND. $2142 care invoices and $2091 reimbursements etc. must be paid before bank shuts for Christmas. Without payment, my care could be terminated quickly and with FATAL consequences. RECURRING DONATIONS (monthly/weekly/etc) for ongoing care are esp. appreciated b/c they ensure that I’d no longer have to live in CONSTANT FEAR FOR MY LIFE
PLEASE DONATE HERE (one-off donations) Counter must reach: $9152 AUD To excl. expended old donations
RECURRING DONATIONS can be made here & must be **registered at this link**

Today I essentially told Salvation Army to go fuck itself
I was headed into the post office when i saw one of those bell ringers... She smiled and said hi and i continued in. I had to think about this.
I found my change of address form and hobbled back out on my cane. As i passed, she said, "Merry Christmas!"
I don't think i had anything against her. She was fairly young and probably ignorant of how fucked up the organization had been in the past, she probably thought she was doing good. But this was a teachable moment. I know people who have been denied access to their shelters on basis of being gay, trans, etc. I'd been homeless in the past and it was no secret that trying to get assistance from them was a waste of time.
So i locked eyes with her and said evenly as i passed, "You too. But I'm gay, and you and your people haven't helped me and mine in the past. Sorry."
The look of shock on her face was priceless.
I was surprised that my heart hadn't been pounding. I felt the conviction of what i had to say. I didn't really owe her an explanation... The hope was that she'd ask a few questions, maybe do a lil research. At worst she was a homophobe and what i had to say had no educating impact at all, but... She needed to know that the "charity" she was supporting did not wish for peace on earth and good will to all.
Happy holidays.
yeah i would’ve knocked him tf out too lmao
Yesssss!!!! Omg!
Can we talk about how ALL THE MEN sat there and let that woman be harassed while ever woman in earshot called his as out and finally one knocked him the fuck out.
YES SHE TTG I FUCKS WITH HER
i want her victory lines to be used in the next mortal kombat game
YESSSS I LOVE YOU GIRL
why did he fucking start on her?? it’s none of his fucking business how she dresses she was just walking down the street jfc
thank God for the women sitting there I also would’ve knocked his fucking teeth in what a scumbag
I love how he's going off on "no wonder women like you get raped" or whatever such bullshit, thus exposing his own sick agenda- blaming women for his own lack of self control. He makes it so obvious he's the sort of shitbag who WOULD rape and abuse a woman, then turns around and demands respect just for being a man, while shouting that she deserves less respect because she has an exposed navel that he isn't entitled to. The sheer amount of cognitive dissonance here is stunning.
Tfw yr through looking like Arthur Dent and you want get up looking like you're actually prepared to take on the galaxy
Me: has a decent evening, knee joints not hurting so bad, elbow starts to feel a lil better, back not screaming every time i turn positions, can walk across the room without my cane, etc.
Me: OH NO. OH NO!! WHAT IF I QUIT MY JOB FOR NOTHING??? WHAT IF I'M NOT REALLY DISABLED WHAT IF I WAS JUST HAVING A BAD FEW WEEKS WHAT IF I'M GETTING BETTER WHAT IF I GAVE UP A SURE THING AND A JOB I LOVE BECAUSE I WAS DELUSIONAL WHAT IF-
Me: wakes up the following morning in agonizing pain again, can barely find a position in which my joints will stop screaming at me, knee feels like it was hit with a sledgehammer even when I'm not weightbearing, remembers the last 12 years of my life in vivid color
Me: ..oh. Nmv lol
Christmas mood... I just keep coming across the best things this morning. Festive.
