GOAL REACHED, THANK YOU

(470/600)

Need $130 by July 1! EMERGENCY!!

We're living off one set of meager benefits that don't cover the bills, let alone med and grocery. Being disabled and poor is very, very expensive, and we need to survive. We can't do this alone.

You can help!

Please give if you can, and boost, we're dangerously close to the end of the month.

Thank you for reading.

my mother is happier than she's ever been. my ma, too. there is a future out there for every gay person who's always known they're gay., like my ma, and for everyone who figures it out later, like my mother there's time. they're growing old together. i cannot express to you how much they are leading happy lives, loving each other, with a huge family surrounding them. i cannot express to you how much they have this beautiful future that they are living and willive i want you to know, if you don't have any older gays in your life: they're out there. and they're living these full, happy lives. sometimes i look to my moms and i think i want a life like yours. and looking at them makes me believe i will get it

they dance on the street to buskers (very embarrassing when you're twelve; very cute when you look back on it as an adult). i shit you not -- they pass me their purses and dance on the sidewalk, laughing. i thought was something that only happened in movies. my ma makes my mother eggs every morning because my mother can't cook for shit. my mother presses my ma's work blazers for her because my ma still can't figure out how to work the new iron. when it was warm, high-school me would wake up on the weekends and wander downstairs to find them sitting in the backyard in the sun, drinking coffee together and splitting the newspaper in a surgical, exact process since they'd worked out who wanted which sections years ago.

thinking about middle aged gay love is like we have a future and we have time lycaonswolves replied: my mother divorced my father when i was 7. it wasn't because she was gay, though she did discover this later (another reminder that it's okay to find out who you are at 40, at 50, etc, and also for who you are to change) but because she had thought he was the great love of her life and he turned out to be a shitty person my mother married my ma when i was 11. i think they do have a great love. i think they love each other the way you can when you're middle aged -- having seen the world, being able to see each other's flaws, knowing themselves. they see each other in full, and they love each other and the world for it.

So recently the @nodejs project posted an article seeking LGBTQIA+ stories from people who use or have contributed to Node.js, I shared the link last week.

Anyway, I decided to submit a story of how Node.js and tech in general was a lifeline for me as a teenager, in a world where I didn't quite fit in, and how I came to realise I was trans.

Many thanks to them for providing this opportunity!
