But I’m also wondering if there’s not a touch of something here related to Trump, specifically the all-out assault his candidacy leveraged against “PC culture.” As we’ve seen, both the left and the right are clamoring to blame Black Lives Matter, trans bathroom access, and minorities-asking-for-things-in-general for the country’s ills and Hillary’s loss. If I had to engage my brain to search for a reason, I guess you could mark it as a particularly gross manifestation of the trendy “bromance” thing. This just feels surprisingly retrograde, in a Hangover franchise sort of way, and I don’t get why any of these talented folks are partaking in it. If any of these actors were really gay, as you point out, we’d have a very different, and likely hostile, media reaction-because gay men are supposed to keep their paws off the straight boys, you know? While the history queen in me smiles at your recuperative reading of all this as a challenge to the doxa, I fear I can’t really go there with you in this case. these funds will go toward my deposit as well as keeping me in this hotel room until i can move in. if you cannot afford to give money, please reblog this post to reach more people. i have ven mo, ko fi, cash app, and pay pal which i will be linking below. any amount given is helpful even if it’s a single dollar. I am scared to return to my current apartment for my belongings and even more scared to return to living there if my money runs out. this is been digging into some of that savings and i’m worried if i don’t get help soon that i will lose any money i have saved forcing me back to square one. however, this situation has gotten so bad i have been living out of a hotel for the last few weeks where they cannot find me. I have been trying my best to save money for my own place, i have about half the money i need to secure a deposit for a small apartment. due to this isolation, i have no friends or family who are willing or able to help me out of this situation. i have not seen any friends in well over a year. they have also made it nearly impossible to leave my home. i’m now working from home, where my partner has become extremely disruptive to the point of almost losing my job. The abuse has only picked up over the last 2 years as the pandemic began. i have also recently discovered severe drug use i was previously unaware of.
i’ve been with this person for 3 years and over the course of this time, they have become emotionally and physically abusive. I’m trying to remove myself from my abusive partner.
i hate asking for charity and hand outs, but i’m in a very desperate situation and need all of the assistance i can get.
