Nesha showing up fat and in jeans

I've made a sideblog on one of my alternate accounts that I will use for all of my Punzie related stuff as I go into expanding the universe and story. The reason it'll be on an alternate account is because my main (neshatriumphs) has TOO MANY sideblogs (including this one) and also additional ones I am member of. There's too many and I have an alternate account specifically for times like these.

I write these words in deep pain, with tears filling my eyes. I can no longer endure this situation. Hunger has exhausted me, along with my mother’s illness (liver cirrhosis) and the high cost of the medication she needs.

All I care about is easing my mother’s suffering from the illness she is facing and the constant pain that accompanies her. I am also trying to save my sick wife, who has been suffering from severe malnutrition and a serious lack of nutrients for many months. I beg you to help me buy the necessary medicine and treatment for both of them so they can regain their health and continue their lives, and help me save myself and my entire family.

Please donate if you are able. Your donation will allow me to buy medicine for my mother and provide treatment and food for my wife. It will save my mother, save my wife, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are threatened by hunger and illness

I started the tale with a brief run through Rapunzel's more known backstory, with a little bit of my seasonings on it

It started with pretty simple new growth

Then, it just kept growing…

And, she continued to grow, as well. 

She learned things about herself.

Inevitably, she learns how hard life can get

She may as well live it in a way that serves her best.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

Op has been asking for help since april or even earlier than that, can we get some help so this couple doesn't become homeless????

I even at one point thought "Oh, if another white person explains this to them, they'll be more able to listen and understand." Yet any time they do, this is what happens.

"I’m a cancer survivor abt to lose housing. My last ask ever for communal support is for 3k, if folks wouldn’t mind chipping in to help w the transition out of my apt, moving costs of my life upending, & losing my home b4 surgery. Thanks everyone! I (we) tried.

I just realized that the little, I believe, AI generated short story to link to my actual story has me listed as a single parent. Their contact is also AI and gives instructions to change MY writing, but not the one that they created. I am not a single parent. There is not a child in my temporary home. I am not sure why that was the caption for my story. It isn't one that I chose. I am broke alone. I had a cat, but she died and the person who had been living with us, as well as my mother and grandmother. Unsure how parenting got involved, but I am presuming AI.

Happy pride! Queer people have been around forever - here's some of the oldest examples we have.
