No End In Sight, Looking For Our North Star - Houseless/Homeless Family Donation Post.
Tldr: A queer, disabled, neurodivergent family is on the streets, plans fell though and we need money (time is money) to breath and come up with a new plan.
Pm for paypal, kofi is ko-fi.com/kittydoesstuff
Now here's the story, under the cut so y'all can rb without worrying about tagging it for being a long post.
So I'm not going to assume anyone has been keeping up with this, so let me start at the beginning.
My family, aka me, my twin brother and our mother moved to a city at the end of 2019 after kicking out our financially and emotionally abusive father.
We had planned on setting up a small business, our mom would focus on this while me and my brother would finish our schooling.
Then covid hit, which led to further isolation like what we dealt with due to our father, it also led to my mother having to rely on a emotionally abusive friend, and on social services, both of these harmed our mothers confidence and albity to make money.
We then ended up cut off from social services and started struggling to make money to make rent.
But that became harder yet, as we started hearing loud arguments and smelling what only could have been drug manufacturing from our upstairs neighbors.
We tried to hold on, hold out and just keep paying rent but eventually one day we heard our neighbor shouting that their partner had pulled a gun on them. We had to call the police, the police 'could do nothing' but told our mother we needed to get out for our safety)
And after nights all sleeping in the same room for our safety, finding out that this gunman had been staying at the upstairs apartment alone for weeks (meaning we were alone in a building with someone dangerous and armed) we got a little money and left.
We thought it'd be simple, we would save our stuff (which we've already had to do after losing the house and after a death in the family) and then find a place.
It wasn't.
We have constantly been met by hostility, harassment, with no where truly safe to stay. We spent many weeks sleeping up right in our car seats and our mother still spending some nights sleeping like that to make sure we are safe.
We've also been lied to, misled and had the rug pulled out from under us. Back in winter we had a offer of a free place to stay that was rescinded due to meddling from the offerers middle class family, we then had a sub lease offered only for the person to turn out to be a hostile alcoholic who violently threw our stuff out and then had a family's friend offer somewhere in the middle of no where to stay, only to constantly treat us as a mix of pet project, farmhand and scape goat for her abusive husband.
We thought we were near the end though, and honestly I still want to hope for that because I and my family are fucking exhausted.
Someone said they would help us, given our pior convos with them we assumed with money. We recently got to speak with them.
It was like talking to someone on another world, we tried to explain why our actions seemed all over the place (money and safety being the answers) and tried to explain how all we needed was somewhere safe to stay for a long bit so we could establish a income (they own multiple properties)
And what we were met by was them treating everything like a light convo, worrying over things that are not within our reach to be worrying about (like schooling (college/university) for me and my brother, due to abuse and covid, we have to still finish hs) and telling us "Well you'd know your situation best but I don't approve."
We were relying on this person to either help us pay for rent or allow us to stay at one of her properties for awhile (so we don't kill ourselves making second month rent) or at least some money for a campsite so we don't have to go walmart parking lot to parking lot hoping to avoid anyone wanting to harm us. But we can't anymore.
And honestly we are all in a bit of shock, and are pretty upset.
Which is why I'm here. I feel horrible asking for money still, and feel like a liar because I had really thought and told people that we were at the last stretch, that we just needed help and then we would have a home again. But it didn't work out like that, I never lied or meant to discivice I simply had too much faith in the wrong person.
So I ask for money now, trying to make it clear that this money is going to be used to make sure survive and have what we need to come to a new, better plan that relies on ourselves and the people who have been actively helpful such as the fine folks on the internet.
Really, while my mother has struggled with irl friends who don't understand this at all a lot of online friends have been really kind and so has me and my brothers friends, people online are really some of the only reason we have met it this far.
So yeah, idk how much we need and I'm not picking numbers at random soโฆ
0/???
If you'd like to help ease out minds and help us cover basics, that should help us find a way out of this.

All About Shadowban
Tumblr โHow Toโs
I had no idea about Tumblrโs shadowban until it happened to me. Since then, surprisingly quite a few number of people have texted me about them getting shadowbanned as well. Now that Iโm aware of it, I realize itโs becoming increasingly common for legit blogs like mine to get shadowbanned for no reason at all. So hope this helps everyone who has to unnecessarily go through this.
What does shadowban exactly mean?
Basically, your blog exists and mostly functions as it normally would, but Tumblr has made it invisible to everyone else. Tumblr lets you believe that everything is fine and that you can interact with others, but actually you canโt. (Look at the wikipedia definition here.)
Why does this happen?
From what I understand, blogs get shadowbanned since they are suspected of being bots, or just sketchy, or they might be going against Tumblrโs guidelines. Iโm not sure, but it might also happen if someone has reported your blog.ย
But more often than not, itโs just a tumblr glitch.ย
How to tell if your blog has been shadowbanned? And most of the things that happen during this state.
(These are the things that I personallyย went through. It might not be the same for everyone. Also, my main blog (@that-damn-girl) was shadowbanned. My side-blogs were fine. So in case your main blog is fine but your side blog is shadowbanned, you might have a different experience.)
(P.S. remember that commenting on a post and sending an ask are features reserved for the main blog only.)

ย ย Did Tamaki know this was pretty damn awkward? Oh, absolutely. But Mic was the first teacher he saw, so he just went for it. He really didn't want to deal with the swarm of freshman that were completely interested in him. Of all people! Couldn't they be interested in someone like Mirio? Or Hadou? It had to be him? The one who was an absolute mess of a person? But then again Mirio had been there with him as always, and they didnโt even seem interested in him for a single moment.
ย ย It was very clear that Tamaki at least wasnโt happy, especially with how low his ears were pointing at the moment. Pretty much like a scared cat. minus the hissing...For now.
ย ย At the compliment and gentle head patting, Tamaki made a sort of soft chittering noise before scurrying around behind Mic to hide behind him.ย โPlease- Thereโs some freshmen looking for me...Iโm not mentally or physically prepared to be dealing with them today...โ Then again, Tamaki was never mentally or physically prepared for dealing with his own classmates, so that really didnโt say much.
@superbeaucoupdevisages said: ๐ซ[ from tamaki?? to present mic?? ๐ is he hiding with a teacher we just don't know- ]
"Ehโ?" That was new and different. Mic held his arms out, adjusting to the sudden squeeze, letting the kid do the same, before he even considered wrapping an arm around him in return. In the back of his head, the situation was being haphazardly deciphered, though not very well. Maybe... he was anxious about something.
That thought in and of itself wasn't very helpfulโthat line of logic could apply to most situations Mic had seen the kid in. At least it wasn't a bad guess.
"Amajiki! Yo, there's my favorite lean, mean, hybrid machine." Let him just... pat the boy on the head for emphasis. Much needed. "What's up, kid? Somethin' bothering you? We can go duck out in my class for a bit if you need some downtimeโ."

Kurlozโ:
Kurloz gave a small chuckle, yes, he did have ideas somewhere in his noggin, and it was nice how that was something Mituna ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฅ about him.
โRight, shall I tell you about it once I have a plan?โ
ย ย Out of the both of them, someone had to have the braincell, and it sure as hell wasnโt Mituna most of the time. Kurloz got the braincell for at least 6 out of 7 days of the week, if not all 7 days sometimes. Mituna was just more than happy to go along with his friendโs shenanigans, despite how dangerous they could be.
ย ย ย ย โUhm- Yeth? Abtholutely. If you donโt Iโll be THO heart broken. You donโt even know. I altho requetht that I be there when it happenth, itโll be a good laugh to thee those fuckers get the karma they detherve for being a bunch of jackathes. And you know, be there for background thupport unleth your plan needth me.โ

Johnโ:
John did try to not laugh again, but failed in a large degree, he couldnโt hide laughter to save his life.
But then Dave explained his standards for food and John wasnโt laughing anymore โDudeโฆ Yeah no, I donโt do either of those, I mean at least not most of the time, at worst most of the time my food can be a bit bland.โ
ย ย Did Dave make John laugh on purpose? Maybe, Johnโs laugh was one of those cute ass dorky ones. And they were best friends. Sue him for being an absolute comedic genius and liking his best broโs laugh.
ย ย When John mentioned his stuff at worst was just bland, it actually made Dave wonder what exactly his best was then. Probably better then those shitty ass Little Debbie cakes from the store.ย โ...I mean, thatโs not even bad, what the hell Egbert? Bland? Like. Dude you can just slap crap on top of whatever you make to vaguely fix it. Icing makes any baked good at least 20% better, we all know this fact, my guy. I mean shit, when my takeout is blander than a piece of cardboard, I throw some hot sauce on that bitch and bam. Fixed. If your worst is fuckingย โblandโ, what are you? Some Iron Chef level fucking cook or something?โ

Jakeโ:
Jake couldnโt help but burst out laughing for a good minute, something about the mental image of trying to actually logically put a price on Dirk based off something so dark, just hit his funny bone.
โIโm not sure if a price could be put on your โcharmsโ, I mean who else would call himself a human dumbbell with a straight face?โ
ย ย Jake could laugh now all her wants, but Dirk was sure at least one part of him could fetch a pretty penny on the black market. But for the sake of keeping his best friend happy and out of trouble, heโd refrain for now for tossing body parts onto the deepest, darkest recesses of the internet.
ย ย ย ย โThatโs fair. I would say my wit and charm is eternally priceless to some such as yourself, but Iโm pretty sure some weirdo out there would pay good money to be as smart and lovable as I am. Like those dumbasses who buy gamer girl bathwater for like 60 bucks. Maybe if one of those jackasses could afford my wit and charm, they wouldnโt have to spend their questionably earned money on stale bathwater that vaguely smells like flower shampoo.โ
@superbeaucoupdevisages count from the source
Jake did indeed love showing off how easily he could left dirk up, he did always enjoy showing off his muscles and... It was nice to be close to Dirk.
"Ha, you'd actually be surprised, in my opinion you make a great weight at least when I want to challenge my balance since you move around." Jake was grinning at Dirk

Jakeโ:
Jake gave a awkward attempt at a sympathetic look, it wasโฆ Hard to understand or feel like Dirk would want his sympathy when Hkae had probably been the one out of them all to grab attention the most, do things for it.
Though he could understand the power issue, at this pointโฆ Well it elwas easier to assume that heโd always be weak.
โHeh, yeah fair enough, fame isnโt all its cracked up to be.โ
ย ย In all fairness, Dirk never expected Jake to quite understand why he didnโt like being in the limelight. It probably didnโt help that Dirk was incredibly fucking awkward in social situations that didnโt involve his immediate friends. Hell, itโs why he didnโt talk to a good chunk of the trolls that the rest of them knew, because at some point heโd just make shit awkward or make himself seem like an insufferable prick.
ย ย Though he did joke about his powers being next to useless, as of late there had been...A few concerning flare ups, but it was mostly when Dave pissed him off for one reason or another. It was hard to remain calm and collect when the source of the occasional irritation literally shared a house with you. But of course he wasnโt going to tell any of his friends about that, including Jake. No need for them to worry about him, he had it all under control, as he always did.
ย ย Dirk snorted softly and raised a brow at his best friend.ย โYeah, I can tell from the rest of you. No offense, of course. Iโm sure it has itโs perks or...Whatever you guys want to call it.โ

(Hopefully) The Last Stretch (Queerย Disabled Homeless Family)
https://ko-fi.com/kittydoesstuff
Tldr: my family has been homeless for months, it seems likely we will get help we need to be homed or at least able to make money easier but to get to that help we need money, I am unsure the exact amount we will need as our plan depends on outside forces. All help is welcome, including small amounts of money or a simple reblog.
Okay now longer version: Hello I'm Alex, a disabled, neurodivergent, queer trans man, me and my family, who are share a lot the former traits with me have been homeless since the late fall of last year. We had to evacuate our apartment for our safety and have been living in our truck.
We were able to retrieve our belongings and have a storage place within our old city, and at this point we have a plan on where we are going to live, which is a different city we have more opportunities, we also have someone there who would be willing to help us get a place, one issue:
Due to car issues we have been having to stay at a family friend's place, this has been 1. Damaging our mental health due to abuse present in the house and 2. It's been a money sink due to their lack of understanding of what people dealing with homelessness need.ย
So this means we have little money right now, for the following
Gas to get to our new city & to help
Repairs for the truck, right now a window is broken and we are unsure the state of the tires
Food, we still have to eat
Our storage place rent
Phone bill, which is our way of staying in contact with the world and getting help.
That's where this post comes in, I want to help ease the stress the rest of my family are going through and left their burden a bit, so I am asking for even a bit of help. It would honestly mean everything to us.
Thank you for reading, and please if you can't donate consider reblogging so someone who can might see it.
