me and my twin are in shit jobs rn and while i just got a new job i still am late on rent (which helps my twin& family support my grandma) which we struggle to dd with our minimum wage jobs.
And while i can catch up on that what we really need help is with the gas. I had applied for state help for gas after having to live without during the cold front this winter, only to be told that it is messed up and will not work unless we can get an electrician to fix the thermostat wiring in the house. We cant afford that.
If you can donate and help me raise 200$ dollars to buy a kerosene heater, and some kerosene ,for the apartment so my sister and dog and i don’t freeze to death in New England while i try to transition between jobs, and also finish my semester.
Support your local black lgbt+ artists by helping us stay warm this winter. My paypal is beabrowniegirl@aol.com and if you’d like something in return i do art and so does my twin sister.
Being able to roll your eyes at the term “cultural appropriation” is a sign of privilege. You think everyone should just do what they want right? Because you’ve never been ridiculed or shamed for your traditions, culture, features, and appearance while at the same time seeing others copy or take those traditions, culture, features, and appearance and be praised for “starting trends” or “being edgy”. Keep that in mind next time you wanna throw a temper tantrum because a black girl told you you shouldn’t wear dreads.

Love this list. Just be mindful with the teas and check with your doctor first before drinking them, especially if you are on meds, in particular antidepressants, as the herbal teas can conflict with them.
^^ Adding on, St. John’s Wort conflicts with antidepressants and can cause serotonin syndrome which results in an unpleasant trip to the hospital. Read the labels on calming tea blends before ingesting!
People who hate kids prolly got dragged by one. Children can sense demonic energies. When a kid calls you a doodoo dookie head that’s like a palm reading.
