And now our car is not working and it is my partners sole way of making money. Any help is desperately needed now more than ever. Without their income we will not be able to make rent.

i hate being here again, but my supplemental disability refuses to pay me as they deem me as responding "too positively" to treatment, and denied my claim
i guess i was faking it guys. i'm so genuinely upset.

Protecting your disabled and marginalized friends is important, now more than ever.

// If you're into harassment campaigns pls block me. Button is right there. I do not want to deal with any of you.
Hugging you. It's good to have friends like that in your corner and make it known that they SEE YOU as you are and the situation isn't okay.
Of course a white person has to say something on your behalf before you're taken seriously 😭 ugh, I'm sorry you've had to deal with this too
// ooc: THIS. This happened to me ALL THE TIME. The "what are you?" questions and the "no, you're not." when you answer them. It makes me insane seeing it happen in a larger framework.
// If you're white, you should probably sit this one out when BIPOC people are calling you out.
HOWEVER, I do also believe that if you are a Black person who resonates with Teia being Black, that's perfect!! Antiva is inspired by an amalgamation of cultures from the Mediterranean to Caribbean.
This is a PSA for a white guy thinking He Knows Best about how BIPOC people should be represented.
<-- Afro-Caribbean girl who does not really have Afro features. So. Yea.
It is NOT anti-Black to point out that Teia is a Hispanic character with larger features. Please educate yourself.
Instead of showing up with your holier-than-thou white savior soapbox, maybe listen to the BIPOC people you're supposedly "defending" when they say you're doing more harm than good.
That doesn't make us LESS Hispanic, and you as a white person, do not get to tell us any which way.
Afro features CAN and DO overlap with Hispanic/Latine ones! It's very common, but not every Hispanic person is Black or vice versa.

Hey so. Hispanic girlie here: It's really weird for a white person to come on here & say how we and/or other BIPOC people should look. Picking out features that "aren't right" is racist.
Some of us have bigger features, darker skin, etc. Some of us have lighter skin, smaller features.

// ooc: you singlehandedly just saved all of us
Mm... I suppose I might make -one- exception... You may become a cute puppy. The rest, however, should hope they'd be so lucky.
This is wishful thinking if I've ever seen it.
Vipperquin save me. Save me Vipperquin.

being a true ally means celebrating and defending trans people, even when the curtains are closed.
i hope you all know that this account will always be a safe space for you.
you deserve to be yourself and that's all.
it's why we need to speak up, fight back, and resist harder - love & celebrate trans people louder.
listen to trans people during all this, learn, hold yourself & others accountable - even when trans people aren't in the room.
+
it is a powerful notion you're putting forth. showing that you are unwaveringly yourself, even when things are scary. that's a bravery & strength that cis people will never have.
but it is our responsibility to create spaces where our trans friends don't need to be brave.
