it is illegal in all 50 states for a city to shut your heat off if you meet these conditions!!
there’s also some resources here if you think you won’t be able to afford the heating bill this winter:

Stop assuming trans people want to be cis. Stop erasing nonbinary trans people. Stop with the mentality that being trans is misery all the time and isn’t a point of pride for many trans people.
I don’t want to be cis. I’m trans. I’m proud of that. Sorry that confuses your shitty truscum worldview.
No, we are not having a flashback to the 50s. Stop saying we’ve gone back to the 1950s. Black oppression didn’t just stop for 60 years and re-emerge. It’s been like this, only now non-Blacks are starting to notice.
From his family:
"We reached out to the officers in Ladue, Kirkwood and the [St. Louis] city police and I feel like we didn’t get the help that we needed," said Gray’s cousin Nayesha Courteney.
Gray was last seen leaving work at Cardwell’s restaurant and bar in Clayton at 11:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Relatives say it was unlike him to disappear so they filed a missing persons report in St. Louis two days later. But it was family members that were able to track down his car to the parking lot of a Maggie Moo’s in Ladue.
"We played detective from day one of his disappearance up until yesterday of them finding his body," Courteney.
The family called Ladue police, who went to the scene, looked in the trunk and inside the car and determined there was no sign of foul play. News 4 asked police if they could have done more like check for surveillance video, but they wouldn’t comment on an ongoing investigation.
The police were not just uncooperative and unwilling to search for Shawn Gray- they were complicit in the minimization of his disappearance, and his subsequent death. This was not an accident.
Looks like police in Chicago have a tricked out surveillance truck equipped with cell site simulators, a.k.a. Stingrays, that force nearby phones to send data to cops instead of to phone company cell towers. Did those cops get a warrant for that?
Your tax dollars at work: Spying on people just because they demand that the government’s agents stop killing black people.
UPDATE: Anonymous has released a video featuring what appear to be Chicago police radio transmissions revealing police wiretapping of organizers’ phones at the protests last night the day after Thanksgiving, perhaps using a stingray. The transmissions pointing to real-time wiretapping involve the local DHS-funded spy ‘fusion’ center.
saying that asexual characters can’t have a romantic plot is a misuse of the word and implies that romantic relationships have to involve sex and personally i find that kind of disgusting
white people at ferguson protests: if someone wants to interview you, tell them to piss off and find a black person at the protest to interview. silencing the voices of people of color and making white figureheads the perceived ‘voice’ of these movements is exactly what shitty media and journalists want.
THIS SHOULD ALSO MAKE YOU ENRAGED.
POLICE BRUTALITY TOWARDS BLACK WOMEN EXISTS.
BLACK WOMEN (ESPECIALLY TRANSGENDER) ARE GETTING MURDERED, RAPED, AND BRUTALIZED BY THE POLICE AND ARE BEING BLAMED FOR **THEIR** ACTIONS.
DON’T SLEEP ON POLICE BRUTALITY TOWARDS BLACK WOMEN.
Her name is Miyekko Durden-Bosley and she’s 23.
The cop punched her in the face while she was in handcuffs and fractured her orbital bone.
I did the thing cos why aren’t you guys doing the thing.
Ugh I ship it so much IT WOULD BE SO FRICKING CUTE GRRRR.
Police aren’t suddenly declaring open season on black folks.. It’s been like this… We just have social media which connects people in real time to the murders… Imagine how many have been killed and their stories disappeared… Imagine how many, even in the light of social media, are being killed but we’ll never hear about them…
