my girlfriend is trapped in a small town in idaho with no way to get out by herself

hey y'all, my girlfriend @desertthorn has given me permission to turn to tumblr for help on this one.

last year, my girlfriend's car broke down, leaving her stuck living in a small-town with no public transit, limited (expensive) grocery options, and even fewer job prospects. she's been working part-time in the only position she could find, and walking to and from work even in stormy weather.

the lack of options has left her living in a motel and struggling to afford groceries and other basic necessities each week. i can't even send her food on doordash when i have a little extra money, due to the rural area she's in (we're long-distance, but have met IRL).

we're both neurodivergent and struggling enough as it is in this capitalistic hellscape (as are like 99% of the population of tumblr, i know), and we want to relocate her to my state so we can be closer to each other (and, y'know, so she can finally afford to eat every day).

with her current (unavoidable) cost of living combined with low income, she's struggling to provide for her day-to-day needs – let alone save any money to get her car fixed. if i push my budget around, i can set aside enough to help her... in about 2 years.

unfortunately, this is going to require crowdfunding.

the estimate to fix her car was $2500, and we're about 10% of the way there (at time of posting this). if we exceed the goal, any additional funds will be put toward the costs of her eventual relocation.

please donate $1, $5, $10 or $20 if you can – anything helps!

if just 250 people donate $10 each, we'll exceed our goal!

if you can't donate, please consider spreading this around your various online haunts.

this queer couple (who met on tumblr!) thanks you. <3

From now on, I'm taking Murdock's approach when it comes to size, clothes, and generally everything in life...

NOTHING beats the pure comedic value of not one but TWO absurdly long boring shots in that one ep of the a team s5 of face walking away while 'miles from nowhere' plays

Face and Murdock

👨🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻

I'm always right

The a team is a very comforting show to watch partly bc every single recurring character is deeply and profoundly Weird. If they weren’t all absolute freaks they wouldn’t have survived the way they do. Their weirdness is what keeps them together and what makes them successful as a unit and in a world where people unironically say that non-normative people ‘should have been bullied more’ to beat the weirdness out of them, it’s nice to see Hannibal, a certifiable Freak, calling similar people slimeballs and getting his collection of adopted children to join him in blowing their cars up without actually hurting anyone, while BA pretends to be normal to cover the fact that he’s easily as bizarre as Murdock, and Face speaks mostly in keysmashes and is fully convinced that he’s perfectly normal, Murdock saunters around in tight trousers talking absolute nonsense at top speed.

In the year 2000, I bought a homemade Cabbage Patch Mr. T doll from a new-ish site called eBay. Now, he sits as the bodyguard to the bedroom of my 4-year-old and 7-year-old daughters.
