i'm a homeless afro indigenous person in need of help getting into an apt
i am a houseless 21 year old in the state of texas where there's not only anti abortion laws but anti trans law as well. while i work i am paid poorly and am currently looking for a better place of work. i cannot go back to my hometown because i have an obsessive father who has come all the way to a different state before to knock on my door and harass me. my mother's house isn't an option either because she is bipolar and becomes violent when she is unmedicated.
as a visibly queer afro indigenous person who still wears their mask every time i'm in public i get targeted and discriminated against in work and social settings. this was surprising to me too. texas is religiously anti mask. no one down here even thinks to accommodate for immunocompromised people. there's a lot of places that have rejected my applications in a few hours because of my ethnic sounding name. this state is a hell hole.
i am actually hoping to relocate after a short lease if i can raise enough funds. i will need funds for temp housing (private room or motel) and deposit and move in fees.
i am hoping to raise about $3500 total towards this. even meeting half of the goal would help me out with move in. please share this far and wide i dont want to end up on the streets again.

This is Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
WHERE ARE MY BLACK, BOOK NERDS AT?!
Y'all I've been reading this book I found in Libby and oh my god it's so good!!!
It's called: Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado ( a non-binary Afro-Latine Bronx native, as listed on the About Author page)
It's a fictional horror book w/ romance tied in, but it's not entirely too focused on it...however it does help advance the plot.
It takes place in the Bronx in New York, the main character is a queer Afro-Latina girl in high school... who is also a psychic in some capacity.
It's a pretty long and graphic read, though, very angsty
Black genderfluid culture is looking up for representation and being like: “Why are you white? Where's my representativity, WHERE'S THE MFS THAT REPRESENT MY TRANSITION GOALS???”
I'm dead serious, the amount of times I looked for androgynous people for a lil reference (I need some visualization, long story short I'm using subliminals to get rid of gender dysphoria) and only white and sometimes east asian people popped up makes me mad because: Yo, why only the white enbies get their reference and representation? Why not me? Hm??
And that makes me feral, because the most queer representation, specially trans representation, we see is white. All white people, and that's infuriating because people of colour, trans women of colour, more specific, were a huge, HUGE, part of queer history, and y'all decide to simply ignore our voices? Really nigga? 🤨
Taking this opportunity on this black history month, I wanted to make a highly important request: Dear lgbtqia+ community: PLEASE HEAR COLOURED QUEER VOICES.
Sorry for the rant, I need to get that out. =3
no no you get it.
im white but we don’t talk about that lmao
in the past, A LOT of black folks did a LOT for this community. The fact that the face of the community is now a gay, cis, skinny white guy FUCKING SUCKS!
William Dorsey Swann and Marsha P. Johnson are just two of the names that SHOULD BE TALKED ABOUT MORE!
Please, support your POC girlies! (gender-neutral) This is such a big issue in the LGBTQ community and many others! And you’re right, there really aren’t ANY references for black LGBTQ people.
If anyone has any resources/photos or anything you’d like to share regarding this, please do!!
I’m also passionate about this if you couldn’t tell LMAO
I LOVE YOU BLACK TRANSGENDERS
