Honestly? Gender
Hello!
We are two trans people living in Scotland, both working as autism specialised carers within an adolescent household care home environment. Our job pays pitiful wages for what is expected of us, but we are deeply passionate about care.
Around Christmas of 2022, Jay was kicked out of his house by his parents with nothing except what he could carry. This was due to his transgender identity.
As a result he had to move in before we were fully prepared for this. He was also unable to secure a job until September of last year. Thanks to low wages and the increasing cost of living, we amassed sizeable debts across several areas.
As a result of this we are often forced to rely on friends to help us cover groceries or other daily expenses, whilst the majority of our wages go on bills and paying (primarily interest) off debts.
With this support, we would be able to clear our debts and put ourselves back to square one finally. By paying off everything we would be saving £322.50 a month, with that extra money we could stop relying on other people and working ourselves into the ground to survive.
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Thank you all so much

Since Alfie doesn't have a tumblr (yet) I wanted to share my favourite photos they took of the auroraborealis on Friday night, it wasnt super clear with the naked eye but i was able to see some and I love their photography so much (I can see birds in the first two and a face in the second!)
Oh hey I took those (and got a tumblr)

Actually that makes for a really funny poll idea
I don't always agree with the decisions of Wikipedia's volunteer editors, but having learned that their decision on how to handle the James Somerton situation was to deem him non-notable and turn his article into a redirect to a brief writeup of Hbomberguy's plagiarism investigation – well, like I said, this may not be a good decision, but in context it's an extremely funny one.

Four more days until Photomatt is back from his "vacation" or whatever he's calling it. Reminder to continue raising a fuss about the biases on this website! Do not let him sweep what happened to Predstrogen under the rug! He is trying to outlast us, trying to make us forget. We need to show him that we will not rest until his bullshit moderation is addressed and fixed!
thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.
Last fuckin time I agree to swap shifts with someone as a favour...I'm currently alone with the tiny terror with no one else in the flat scheduled to work with him. I don't know his routine and I've told management I struggle working with hum but HEY HO LETS GO I GUESS
Playing Stardew Valley (as I am want to do up to like year 3 when I automate everything and get bored) and I'm always a little frustrated by how much I understand most of the characters after a few events while still feeling fairly little for them? Like there's only 4 I'm ever remotely interested in romancing (Abigail Maru Shane and Sebastian) but outside of that I'm always a little disappointed I guess? Which seems unfair because having so many characters so instantly relatable has to be a truly impressive skill
I dont think I actually said this but I'm Annoyed bc Demetrius acts like Robin is an idiot for not instantly thinking a tomato is a fruit. And seems to think the same of the player if you respond with vegetable. Like...no buddy...I'm autistic too...context is A Thing. Nobody thinks you're smart for pointing out they're a fruit. Vegetables straight up barely exist, same as fish. But as a collective society we create categories for things! Science is also the practice of creating and asigning categories so you should know this!!!
It's never going to happen bc I don't have the skill or the determination or the simple understanding to actually do it but lately I've been thinking about potential video essays on...I'm not even sure. Autistic joy? Trans joy? The sheer unique joy of being me and of being a human who thinks and feels and how that's different but the same as so many other people. Like I'll legit start plotting out scripts in my head for how I would explain it to people (which I do alot for special interests and such but rarely to explain Myself) and a big part of me would love to just. Talk. About how it feels to be Me. But I'm also very unlikely to do that lol
