Other tips for financially abused kids who want to leave:
Most banks will send you a credit card when you apply. You cannot opt out of it. See if you can get it sent somewhere that's not your home, or find a bank that allows you to opt out of getting one (try emailing them to check).
Also: here's a reddit article I found with banks that allow you to opt out of a credit card- (do your own research though-this information could be false or outdated)
https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/deqlx6/how_to_open_a_bank_account_while_hiding_it_from/
(I hear Novo bank allows you to opt out of getting a card. And it's also a business bank. However, a good chunk of the reviews are bad).
Get an account at a bank your family doesn't use, and make sure they don't know about it. Otherwise they could get access to it.
Cashapp can be used as a bank (not recommended bc cashapp isn't as secure as a bank, but it is an option).
You can check how good a bank is by checking nerdwallet and reddit.
You'll need a business bank account-or an account that lets you do business-if you want to freelance (which includes things like transcription). There's an article on nerdwallet about the best business accounts, and another one about accounts you can open without an EIN.
Make sure your bank statements are emailed and not mailed.
There's a bank called Majority which allows people to get accounts without SSN. Most of the reviews I've seen are good, but I still recommend checking the reviews yourself.
Try to get a paypal if you're going to get an online job-a lot of them require a paypal to use their services.
If you don't have proof of address, look for an online-only bank.
if you are european, take a moment to sign this petition! it needs 1 million signatures in order for the EU to financially support those who do not have access to safe and legal abortions. and as someone who lives in the country with the strictest abortion laws in the EU (people who get an abortion get up to 3 years in prison and the doctor 4 years!!) this means a lot to me.
please take a moment to sign, it does not take long and if you cannot, take a moment to share! thank you
Recently I have been very sick from spending a lot of time on the streets, enduring cold and this worsened my health, I was afraid this would happen, and it did. I have to be with oxygen cylinders to be able to breathe better when I got agitated, I am lacking a lot of air, and I am left without breathing, I am going to be discharged but I need to be in a cool, warm place, without humidity, and they ask me to take care of me a lot.
Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.
heya folks, happy lesbian visibility week! my bday is next week and i'd be super appreciative of some financial help since i've had shit luck getting hired since moving. i just wanna get thru my lease so every bit is helpful, ty!
i've been on hiatus for a bit but i'm aiming to get back into gear next month so my patreon is also an option if you wanna keep up with progress on my comic or see art early or get a sketch bust from me!
Anyone able to help me with groceries? I can send my receipt and other info if you'd like proof of purchase. My food stamps don't process til the 10th and i had to pay to stop my electric from being cut off and it took all of my check 😭 i can pay back if thats better for you. I'm broke and starving this passover sadly 😞 (I also wouldn't mind cheap recipe ideas if you all have them)

THEESE WEBSITES:
Also using a free ad blocker and vpn makes the sites so much better without adds and accessible in more countries so if anyone needs reccomenfations just lmk! <333
However I think maybe it’s “wrong” and “people shouldn’t” or whatever so maybe definitely don’t share the links with anyone who might need them because that would be bad. Definitely
Hi friends!!! I’m happy to announce another episode of Women Talking About Their Lives! This episode is all about a brand new Women’s Fest called RISE! Rise is focused on intergenerational lesbian connection, and improving our ability to organize around feminist goals-we also have some amazing performers, archery, drumming and a number of other activities for a well rounded experience!
If interested please email us at [email protected] ! Let us know you heard about it from this post/the podcast as well :).
Fests are some of the absolute best ways to meet like minded women from all over the country, I really cannot recommend getting out to one enough, being on womyn’s land for a week is truly life changing and affirming in ways it’s hard to articulate and I so appreciated being in a space where lesbians were so centered in everything. Definitely try to get out to something this summer if you can swing it.
Tickets are always on a sliding scale and every year women organize to assist with transport-please don’t miss out due to financial or logistical challenges.
Can’t make it to Michigan this year? I’m producing a concert in NYC with an all feminist lineup!! Buy tickets here! We are 29 tickets away from our goal for the concert!
I really hope this reaches more people, I'm only reposting this information from Instagram, the least that I can do. (Update: I changed their upbringing as it appears to have been listed wrong) Wiki page
When I just saw this information I couldn't stop crying thinking about it, and now my heart aches. They were the same age as me, I know for a fact like any other teen they dreamt of their future, who they would want to become, what to achieve, create, wondering if they meet those in the future they can call friends, wondeting if it'll get better when they grow up, maybe wished to leave that terrible place or maybe wanted to stay. How could anyone let this happen, why were they discharged from hospital so easily? And the school, we all know why. I hate to think about how, even with all the progress made, these things still happen.
"murdered schoolgirl Brianna Ghey on February 16, 2023. Candlelit vigils are being held across the UK this week for Brianna Ghey, 16, who was stabbed at Linear Park in Culcheth, Cheshire last Saturday. Brianna was a transgender girl and police are now investigating her killing as a hate crime. A boy and girl, both 15, have been charged with her murder"
An article that explains trans hate crime murders as on 2023
I hate everyone who have ever committed such vile hate crimes, I wish them in prison and hell. But i would never go down to their level. But I also blame the government, the school, and even those bigoted online accounts that teach their followers hate. In this case LibsOfTikTok, who targeted the teacher of this school, who supports lgbtq+, so they had to leave their position. It must have been the push for this to happen. I think their tiktok account has been thankfully deleten. But i have no idea about Twitter or any other. Please check and mass report them if it still exists.

As Gaza is facing THE LONGEST EVER blackout of communication and internet access, eSIMs are the ONLY way for Palestinians to stay connected to each other and the outside world. The group of volunteers behind the Connecting Gaza initiative are prioritising and making sure doctors, other medical staff and journalists stay connected. Your eSIM donations literally save lives.
