objectively not an awful blog!

hey so my name is jake!! i’m a blasian trans gay dude and a while back i was diagnosed with hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease that makes my body attack my thyroid for presumably no reason). so on december 15th, i had the surgery to get rid of my left thyroid lobe. during surgery, they found that my left lobe had 3-5 cancerous tumors and they removed my whole thyroid instead of just half. (the pics above are all the proof i have atm due to the fact that we haven’t gotten the paperwork back from the hospital)

so, long story short i still have cancer in my system, which is why i need to go through radiation therapy for it. due to the fact that my medicine (levothyroxine) can promote cancerous cells to spread & duplicate faster whencombined with the radiation therapy (don’t ask me how i don’t know) my surgeon told me that i should stay off of my medication so that my cancer doesn’t spread to my lymph nodes… and the lymph node cancer 5-year survival rate is only about 25%… which is really fucking scary

but the thing is: i can only survive 21 days without a thyroid and the horomones the thyroid gives, and my surgery happened 5 days ago.

i really cannot afford therapy, we can barely afford food rn. the surgery & numerous doctors visits that got me here took $13k+ from us, and radiation therapy will take at least another thousand from us and we really can’t do that. so unless i raise at least another 2k in the next few weeks, i’ll either die or be forced to deal with more cancer in my system which will inevitably kill me.

tl;dr: i have 16 days to raise $2k+ for post-cancer radiation therapy or i might actually die.

Wandered into an article with 140 iconic cinematic shots, the comments complained there was no explanation to their composition. Decided to give it a run down and keep it to myself. 

This is imporant. Fascists on twitter and tumblr have been posting fake info, fake names, and more all claimin it was an antifa counterprotestor who was the driver in order to shift the blame.

Recently, I started watching Freeform’s new show The Bold Type, and it is amazing. So important for young women to watch. It is empowering. It has already served to make me feel like I am not alone in my life experiences. It is opening up a window to so many important conversations that need to be had about how women treat other women, about how men treat women, and about how people should treat people in general. The cast has some ethnic diversity (would like to see more as the show develops) and has LGBTQIA+ representation. It provides an accurate and also hopeful interpretation of how our world is today and should be.

ABC Family/Freeform has unjustly ended so many shows that have been important to me over the years because they don’t get as good of ratings as yet another Harry Potter Weekend. Help me save this show by tuning in every Tuesday. You don’t even have to watch it (although I would love it if you did). It just needs the views. If you do like the show, show it some love and free advertising through your social media.

I know. Who I am to ask you to do this? You don’t know me. I need this show. I need to feel the emotions and the empowerment every time I watch an episode. I need to know this show is reaching out to other people the way it has for me. I need to know another girl will not feel ashamed of where she is at in her love life. I need to know another girl will see how you can rise above anonymous hate on the internet. I need to know another girl will learn it is her job to lift other women up with her along the way to success. I need to know people can respect other people.
