hiatus

I never reach goal on my posts so I can't catch up and it's really stressing me out. I work endlessly it feels like, despite being exhausted and disabled. I keep canceling all my dr appts bc i just cant keep tryna deal with the mounting medical bills even with insurance and can't rly afford all my meds after the fact anyway.

My car is having issues, my battery is seemingly on it's last leg. I had to get a jump last week at work and I have 3 broken sensors. I desperately need work done on it and need to pay my car note.

The power company for my part of the state is out of control and doubling and tripling ppl's bills to the point we have a large scale group abt the corruption and a protest planned.

And good news, I am OUT OF THE DIABETIC RANGE! but I do still need to get fresh groceries and stuff bc I worked very very hard to get to where I am and need to maintain it!

My wife does have a new job tho now! Filled with more transphobic issues as is usual here in the deep south but for now she has to keep it while we try and stay afloat 😭

And yes im still working on doing nails for ppl, I got one order a few weeks ago that im abt to ship out! Im so excited! Please support black business if u can!!!

Between my car note, power bill, groceries, work on my car, meds, etc im aiming for $1325. Please help if u can.

TLDR: Black disabled lesbian and Trans lesbian wife struggling to catch up on bills 🖤

I am genuinely sorry for this, but my sister is dying. If I could only ask for your permission one by one, I would, but I am afraid of the possibility that Tumblr may consider our plea as spam. Also, if any of you want an even more elaborate explanation about her medical condition, kindly look into this account's pinned post or you can message me directly because Tumblr flagged the pinned post as "sensitive content" after attaching proof of how extremely disfigured her right arm is. At times, it is also being kept hidden so not everyone can received notification even after being repeatedly tagged.

(And here is the direct link to the fundraiser.)

WE STILL NEED TO SECURE AT LEAST TWO BAGS OF BLOOD RIGHT NOW, TOO. PLEASE HELP MY SISTER OUT. SHE IS IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. I CANNOT EVEN POST THE PHOTOS/PROOF OF THE BLOOD AND PUS COMING OUT OF HER BODY WITHOUT TUMBLR TAKING IT DOWN OR TAGGING IT AS EXPLICIT CONTENT BUT YOU CAN MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY SO I COULD SHOW YOU JUST HOW SEVERE HER HEALTH HAS GOTTEN. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLY TERRIBLE. I WOULDN'T BE THIS DESPERATE IF IT WAS NOT A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. PLEASE DONATE TO THE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COMPLETE THIS AMOUNT FOR 7 MONTHS NOW AND WE ARE STILL NOT GETTING ENOUGH HELP. PLEASE HELP US COMPLETE THIS AMOUNT BEFORE THE DAY ENDS. PLEASE HELP US SAVE HER.  

I GENUINELY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE TO APPEAL TO ANY OF YOU.  I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS. MY SISTER IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE (ASIDE FROM ALL THE SWELLING ESPECIALLY ON HER LYMPH NODES, SHE IS ALSO IN A CRITICAL CONDITION DUE TO HER BODY SOMEWHAT NOT ABSORBING BOTH POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM WELL) AND WE ARE STILL SEEKING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO AFFORD ALL THE MEDICAL PROCEDURE(S) SHE NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GATHER AID SINCE JUNE 9TH/DUE DATE SINCE JULY 14TH AND UP UNTIL TODAY, WE AREN'T CLOSE TO RAISING ENOUGH. AS I HAVE MENTIONED, I AM AFRAID THAT SHE MIGHT END UP GETTING A HEART ATTACK/GOING INTO COMA OR EVEN WORSE—DYING DUE TO COMPLICATIONS. I TRULY CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW URGENT AND SEVERE HER HEALTH CONDITION IS. THREE DAYS IN A ROW NOW, THERE IS PUS LEAKING OUT OF HER LEFT BREAST. SO, PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE DONATE.

(Please look into the photos under the fundraiser as well to understand how urgent this is since Tumblr kept tagging whatever photos I post as "mature content". They kept hiding updates which is why it isn't getting any traction at all.) I have been asking around for help for 7 months now (wasn't able to post anything for almost two weeks as well despite staff insisting that the account isn't restricted/shadowbanned) but there is not much significant change at all. There are almost 11k notes, but it doesn't translate to donations.

So, I am deeply sorry if I am somehow offending you because I randomly tagged you. We are beyond desperate to spread this post and get enough help. I am begging you to please understand my desperation. Kindly donate, please. And see the pinned post on this account, if you want to know how awful her health is but be careful because the photos could be too graphic. I am really sorry. Please don't reprimand me.

If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. I just don't know what to do anymore and I have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer anything in return other than to express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much.

art commissions open!

cr0wdfunding information.

we paid the ticket. we made rent. immediately a new issue pops up. we're being punished for something. i don't know.

my girlfriend got an infection and they had to remove her gallbladder. i stayed up with her all night in the ER, stayed with her in the hospital through all of this.

financial aid should hopefully cover most or all of the surgery itself, but the initial ER visit (CT scan, ambulance), medication, & postsurgery followup is not covered by the hospitals financial aid. her follow up appointment is tomorrow.

we're looking at thousands of dollars. and to make matters worse i have to go to court tomorrow for my unpaid credit card debt that i accrued trying to keep our dog alive back in 2022-23, im being sued and ill get put through the wringer.

all this and our phone bill hasn't been paid, we lose service in a couple days. i have a $50 charge from the same hospital, that's already overdue & they're pursuing me for, because i got covid & strep tests when i got sick while staying with my girlfriend so i could make sure she wouldn't get sick as well. we're almost out of our HRT. it's just fucked. we're fucked. i don't know how to keep going. we need to make our phone bill. we need to pay my doctor's bill. we need anything we can get to pay for my girlfriends medical bills.

Please, if there's anything you can do...

Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill. He was proudly indigenous, often playing indigenous roles. He was Comanche and white mountain apache.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a trans man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up, originally in the house his father built in 1957. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of the skull of one of their dogs nearby (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was sitting waiting with a shotgun on his porch. When yelled at he aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was almost instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobic murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Joss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

UPDATE

Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.

Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder

The media and pigs are breaking their backs to not say queer. The local bews segment was stunning in its washing of the motive. Good news tho: the gofundme is funded!!!

And i apologize if i didnt include enough info about Joss being indigenous. To me it was so obvious and i just typed this out in rage quickly. Im very glad and touched its spread so far and im really glad to see ppl correcting media online. But do not forget racism likely had a hand in his murder/harassment

Update day 2:

I covered some of the uglier deflections by people who want to write off Joss’ murder here

If you are disgusted hate crime was off the table in under 24hrs contact the district attorney, only they have that power now that trump has dismantled the federal hate crime unit

And a lovely follower (who didnt want ther name shared) sent me this

This is in San Antonio on June 8th, 2025. It honors both queerness and being indigenous

I added Jonathan’s story to friendofjims.com which i will keep updating as there will likely be more news

Kern de Gonzales has made a tiktok justiceforjoss

Update on this post- Charlotte is a homeless trans woman who is living in her car. Over the past week, her car has been unable to start in the cold, and she is trying to diagnose the problem and repair it. Without the car, she can’t stay warm or work, so this is very urgent! She also urgently needs cold weather clothes. Please share and donate if you can!
