Please help me make rent this month.

Hey y’all it’s me again. Your favorite disabled black trans guy who keeps getting denied mobility benefits 🙃. I’ve moved twice in the past 2 months and between down payments and need to hire full moving services both times due my disability and being sacked with the bills left unpaid by my transphobic ex roommate who trashed the apartment and left her shit behind, I’ve been completely tapped out. And to top it all off I have to move again on New Years but thankfully it’ll be okay by then because I’ve finally gotten a job!

It’s a great position with all the accommodations I could need and good pay and I’m so thankful but unfortunately my start date was pushed back to this Monday the 24th even though I was sent and agreed to my initial offer letter back in late September

My secondary job i’d been working is having another deadline shift as well and I won’t be paid at the end of the month like I initially had planned which was what was going to cover my rent this month. The last backup I had to ride on was my security deposit from my second to last apartment but because landlords are bastards and my racist negligent one was no exception, I won’t be receiving it in time either even though I should’ve gotten it at the beginning of this month.

This job will really be the turning point for me, I have secure housing and means to cover my expenses/food costs for the next two months and once I start I’ll be making enough to be able to save up to move again with much more ease than the last two times. I’m so close to finally being stable again. Please help.

A brief summary of how user engagement is tracked on Tumblr, for the newcomer:

  • When you like or reblog a post, that counts as user engagement for the person you liked or reblogged from, and shows up in their notifications.
     
  • If the person you liked or reblogged a post from wasn’t the original poster (i.e., you’re liking or reblogging a reblog), it also counts as user engagement for the original poster, and shows up in their notifications as well.
     
  • This means that user engagement from your likes and reblogs can potential accrue to two different people, the original poster and the person you liked or reblogged from.
     
  • Consequently, you cannot “steal” user engagement from someone by reblogging their post.
     
  • This is one of the very few areas where Tumblr is actually functions more reasonably than other social media platforms.
     
  • Note that this is only true if you use Tumblr’s built-in reblogging function. If you save someone else’s content to your local device and append it to a new post, you effectively become the original poster from that point on.
     
  • This means that on Tumblr, “reblogging” and “reposting” are two different things; if you see someone complaining about “reposting”, this is not the same as reblogging.
     
  • Commenting when reblogging does not affect any of this – unlike, say, Twitter, where quote-retweeting causes user engagement to accrue to the quote-retweet and not to the original tweet – and you can and should do so freely.
     
  • However, every Tumblr user can see who exactly you reblogged a post from, which functions as a soft disincentive against making inane comments; if you make a dumb comment on a reblog, people who see your reblog may “back up” one step in the reblog chain to reblog a version of the post without your comment.
     
  • Nobody understands tags, and there’s a fair amount of evidence that how tags work changes periodically and without warning.
     
  • Tags are a divine mystery.

(For those going “how is this not obvious”, it’s about prior expectations, bro. On many major social media platforms, using the built-in sharing tools does divert user engagement from the original post. For example, as noted above, quote-retweeting on Twitter causes likes to accrue to the quote-retweet instead of the original tweet. This is because Twitter is hostile to human life.)

It’s really good for stuff like this to go around every once in a while!  Strange as it may seem, people may in fact migrate here from Twitter or Instagram, where this stuff works differently and where there are different expectations of engagement.

DON’T FORGET - *most* Tumblr users DO NOT MIND if you engage with their OLD posts!  (Apparently on Instagram they do? this baffles me.) 

Many also don’t mind if you “spam” their notifications with a bunch of likes or reblogs in a row.  

Tumblr has a rich culture of Very Old Posts continuing to make the reblog rounds, and people become fond of them.

Also, unlike Twitter, you can reblog the same post multiple times.  Heck, you can reblog the same post every hour on the hour for days. (Please don’t.)  But you do see a lot of “oh this came across my dash again, must reblog” with posts users are fond of.  This is fine.

Tags ARE a divine mystery.  People use the tags both for organization (inasmuch as this works, sometimes), and for added commentary.  Commentary added to the tags will generally be seen by those who follow that person and see their reblog on their dash; but the OP and whoever they reblogged it from can also see the tags in the notifications. 

So again – you can use the tags for commentary, and many people do. But people WILL see it.  It just won’t “stick” with the post… necessarily.  Tumblr also has a culture of people seeing some tags they think are relevant or clever, and reblogging a post with someone else’s tags included.  So bear that in mind as well – something you put in the tags could get “pulled up” into a reblog chain by someone else, and this is generally seen as fine.

  • 1 lb chuck roast


  • 2 onions, cut in half with skin on
  • 3 inches of ginger, cut in half
  • 1 stalk of leek or 3 stalks of green onion, cut into 3 inch chunks
  • 2 cloves of garlic, smashed
  • 2 tb rock sugar
  • 3 tb fish sauce
  • 1 tb soy sauce
  • 1 teas salt
  • 1/2 teas MSG
  • 7 cups COLD water


  • 1 3inch cinnamon stick
  • 4 star anise
  • 5 whole cloves
  • 2 teas coriander seed
  • 1 teas fennel seed
  • 1 black cardamom pod
  • 1/2 teas black peppercorns


for serving:

  • prepared thin rice noodles
  • thinly sliced beef tenderloin
  • thinly sliced onion
  • thinly sliced jalapeño
  • cilantro
  • thai basil
  • bean sprouts
  • limes
  • hoisin
  • lao gan ma


instructions:

you can use an instant pot or stove pot for this. INSTANT POT: high pressure for 1 hour 30 minutes then natural release for an hour. STOVETOP: gently simmer overnight or for 5-8 hours.

parboil the chuck and bones for 5-10 minutes to remove scum and help clarify the broth. drain then rinse under cold water.

char the onion, ginger, and leek on broil in your oven or in a cast iron on high heat. Make sure they get blackened.

toast the spices over medium heat until they get fragrant then place in a mesh spice separator(or cheese cloth, you can also skip this step and put them in loose)

Once everything is parboiled and toasted put all the ingredients in the pot then bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-8 hours or long enough for the broth flavor to develop. (OR do instant pot directions above)

once broth is done, remove all the meat with tongs. remove the meat and marrow from the bones to serve with the pho, then strain the broth with a mesh strainer, throwing away the onions, spices etc.

Then skim fat off the top of the broth (or use a fat strainer) and bring the broth to a boil. adjust for taste, add more fish sauce and salt if need be. might need a little more rock sugar too.

serve noodles and top with raw beef and other toppings, then pour boiling broth over top and enjoy!!!
