my heart's an autoclave

My best friend:

(for people who don’t know kathleen stock is an infamous British terf who triggered a whole “free speech” university row over her views)

this is what people mean when they say that transphobia and ableism are interlinked. because *of course* the same person who refuses to believe people when they assert their gender also refuses to believe them when they assert a disability. because who knows their bodies better than a random british upper-class white woman!

I hate to be doing this, but my cat has had some serious medical issues come up. Between school tuition, basic life needs, donating to mutual aid funds when I can, and her expensive rx food + regular care, I'm already stretched thin.

Another $2k in medical bills is just a stress I cannot manage right now.

Please, if you can't donate to help me and my precious baby girl out, at least share. Sharing would mean a lot to us.

I wish I had the capacity right now to offer fanfiction in exchange, but I'm already behind on the fics I need to write for the Gaza campaigns because of school and my physical health. I know we are all struggling, so I don't necessarily expect reaching the full goal, but even if I can make a part of it, it would make a difference.

Thank you to anyone who supports us in any way.

The goal has to be increased to $5K because of Miss Kitty’s hospitalization on June 16th and because I’m juggling this and fall tuition which will mean somehow coming up with $11K in six months. I don’t expect to reach the $5K goal but any help means the world to me and Miss Kitty.

For those who don’t have the time or energy to read the full update, the short version is that she had a UTI which was causing neurological issues (common for elderly cats AND apparently people) as well as showing signs of a possible kidney infection likely caused by said UTI. we got some great baseline info for her heart and a new medication that shouldn’t interact with her kidneys, and her UTI is now under control and she’s nearly done with her antibiotic for that.

Hospitalizing her was hard but it was the right choice, so even if I can’t get more donations and need to drop out of school I don’t regret it but I really could use some help. Any share and donation goes a long way.

Thank you ♥️

PS

please any help would make such a huge difference
