So, with that in mind: I AM CROWDFUNDING FOR A WHEELCHAIR FOR DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH!!!!

WHY? because! i have severe degenerative nerve damage that is severely disabling and detrimental to my life. currently i struggle to remain seated in most chairs. i am losing function in my dominant hand and cannot write, hold utensils, or even play video games. i am becoming extremely depressed as a result of my rapidly worsening condition. i have been in need of mobility aids since i was 18, progressing from canes to walkers, and now to a wheelchair.

i am also very poor. because of my disability, i can only work odd jobs. i have been denied food stamps and medicaid. so i'm asking for help in getting a renewed lease on life

SO with that out of the way: the chair i'm interested in is $299 with $70 shipping. i am gonna crowdfund intensely in the hopes of getting my legs before september, so i can be a participant in my life again.

every donation and reblog helps more than you could imagine. thank you for reading!!!! i love you <3

microsoft games are a bds boycott target, and because both bethesda + obsidian are owned by microsoft, this includes the games published by them.

microsoft is gonna further profit from a new virtual playground of ~post-apocalyptic bombed out towns in the desert~ while contributing to creating bombed out apocalyptic conditions in gazan towns, by collaborating with israel on so many fronts that bds calls microsoft the most complicit company in palestinian genocide.

I am, as previously, a chronically homeless, chronically ill trans woman in my mid-30s.

Now that I have relocated, the only barrier between me and medical access is the money to pay for it.

I am requesting $200 to repair my teeth to the point of being able to eat and speak semi-comfortably.

Local dentist saw a shadow on an x-ray for an unrelated visit and found bacteria eating away at my tooth and skull thats been happening for years. It hasn't been spotted until now because I wasn't showing any of the associated symptoms.

I need multiple surgeries to get the remains of the front tooth broken into pieces and removed, the bacteria scrubbed off, a bone graft applied to my skull, an implant installed and of course a new crown manufactured and screwed in.

They urged me to do it as soon as possible or else it will get worse.

If u could please donate / share ill be endlessly grateful ❤️

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

it helps me pay for:

- bottom surgery

- laser hair removal

- college

it also gives me more time to devote to:

- my writing

- Transfem Voices Project

- development of my game, Enter the Wyrm, which is playable now for free in open alpha!

thank you 🫶

hi everyone. i'm fundraising to move myself out of Georgia and into a more stable position with a partner in Philly, right after having a major surgery and suddenly losing my income.

two weeks ago, i was abruptly pushed out of my job of 9 years directly after being promised a promotion. the way it happened blindsided even my managers, and i won't go into details, but i have no income with no warning.

recovering from surgery means i don't have the ability to move out of my apartment on my own. without enough income to cover rent + bills + moving expenses, i'd be incredibly grateful for sharing this around or donating. more info is on the gofundme page.

so it all works up to the empathy boss - a bush era edgelord millenial trans girl who thinks she's Max from Sam & Max and is inherently unworthy of love

But even if it was too late, it wasn't meaningless. Jax did finally take Pomni's hand and did find a moment of peace before she lost herself. And that was worth something. Someone finally understood her and would remember her for who she really was inside.

It's such a good tragedy because there were so many opportunities for Jax's story to go right but it just couldn't. Jax was so convinced that she was a terrible person that she did some pretty awful things to validate that and it ultimately destroyed her.

too many stories fall for the happy ending trap, where the main problem is systematic violence, which can't easily be fixed in real life, but happy ending makes the audience feel like they achieved necessary change without anything in the real world actually improving

as heart-wretching finale as it was, if it was a happy ending neatly tied with a bow it would erase the gravity of transmisogyny and imply that systemic hatred can be solved by just "being nicer," ignoring the institutional and cultural weight the character was crushed under

wealth and high social status provide a safety net that allows a person to remain agreeable, soft, and passive, you don't always have to fight tooth and nail just to exist, which makes it easier for a character to be framed as a pure and compliant victim

while characters from marginalized backgrounds often have to adopt a defensive or "difficult" exterior just to survive, which media often misinterprets as inherent malice or toxic behavior, framing them as the abuser rather than another victim of the broken system
