SUPPORT A SPECIAL Q***R SIBLING ❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 https://linktr.ee/IzukuLeeYoung
I've decided unequivocally that this will be my year. I haven't said that about any other years I always went "I hope this year--I wish that--"
And maybe, just maybe, that's just BS I was doing.
I'm not gonna lie I always try to put down what I've done and the things I've made. But yknow what, screw this. I deserve to be warm and safe and happy.
This year I don't want to hear any "I can't help because I'm broke" Look, most of my posts say "if you can't give, share or comment" there's no reason to bring that energy here? It's almost as if folks refuse to read what I say at those times.
I need everyone who is able to spare 12 dollars a year, to please subscribe to my Patreon or Ko-fi. (YOU CAN FIND THOSE HERE: https://linktr.ee/IzukuLeeYoung) If you can't, no one is twisting your arm, please leave the "I can't help" at the door. Because I sure can't help monetarily but what the hell do I do? I share people's posts. I comment. I tag followers in posts that need special attention. This learned helplessness Thang ain't cute. And it undermines the value of collective community effort.
YOU HAVE MORE POWER THAN YOU KNOW.
If you're not trying, don't come crying.
Share this. Make THIS go viral. Encourage folks to follow me on all my platforms.
I took whatever cash I had to keep us housed but that won't last long. I found a place that I could get immediately if all my followers were to subscribe, but I know everyone don't got a dollar to spare when every dollar is accounted for when you're poor. I have had to use funds for moving to keep us off the streets, and it hurts. I feel like I'm a burden and garbage. But no, I'm human and I have human needs. Like needing to stay warm.
And like I said, when I reach a certain amount of subscribers I will start donating most of it to mutual aid efforts. I'm not greedy! Y'all noticed I stopped asking for food because I already feel bad enough needing help? I haven't been eating well at all and last night I had a good meal thanks to family.
We had a long talk about how broken our family is and the housing market and more. But I refuse to rely on my little sister who is only now just starting her adult life. I want to help her be completely self sufficient, too. I want my little brother to be ok as well! Most of our family is Autistic and somehow can't relate to each other and is set in many ways. None of my Dads side likes each other fr, and on my Mom's side the richer folks be lurking and watching as we struggle.
Online folks. Y'all have been more of my family than my actual family. And I appreciate Y'all. Always feel free to tag me in a fundraising post, always feel free to message me on Discord, always feel free to just freaking exist as you are. We all got things to work on, but I refuse to descend into the infighting that's torn my own blood family asunder.
Yes I have some hard boundaries, but I am no longer waiting on people to change. If you come back and show you've changed, then sure. But I really need that evidence. I am not the religion that may have hurt you, I don't want you to burn forever for "wronging" me.
I want us all to grow and heal together.
I know I can see the ending, but I know I need help to do it. And once I get settled, y'all will understand why I insist on community care.
I've been so afraid to show more of my art but this year is gonna be my year.
