"It's Giving Me The Death Giggles"

So, in spanish (so almost a fourth of the world, cause all Latín américa speaks it) we don't have "gramatacly correct" neutral pronouns, we literally use gendered pronouns for objects for crying out loud.

So, back during the post pandemic years (I think 2023? I don't remember) there was a movement to push the pronouns "elle" for nb pronouns, the most remembers installment being a person saying to their Google meet class "I'm not Your classmate [femenine], I'm Your classmate [neutral]" in a voice most people deemed obnoxious

This led to a complete smear campaing, with people citing reasone why the pronouns were not "gramatacly valid", stitching that one Rick puking clip with the "compañere" audio and people talking about how adding e at the end of words was gonna confuse kids. It all culminated (at least in Argentina) with a governor making it ilegal to have the pronoun in oficial documents and making it completly invalid in legal settings. Some people (incluiding myself) still use it in prívate, but is almost imposible to actually use it in public, having most people simply choosing to use "any/all" to avoid ridicule

This is without Even mentioning that people were scandalizing over xenogendered just a month or two ago (incluiding almost all of the few people that were actually in support with the neutral pronouns thing), but I won't be diving into it as i'm not xenogender and I feel it would be unfair since I havent seen or lived Even close to half of it

I'm sharing this all here Even if is in English cause i feel is incredible important to show the blatant exorsexim that is still present in the grabd majority of the south continent

Like. If William Bryers' original four ingredients recipe is out there, and we know Bryers isn't using it, maybe they don't get the rights to own that recipe they abandoned.

At most, you're working against trade secret laws

My rat Blue Jay is in need of surgery to remove a mammary tumor. I usually use CareCredit but since I’ve been using it for my rats for years I’ve uh… accumulated a lot of debt on my card. I have $470 available to spend on my card. I currently have around $200 to my name and don’t get paid for another 2 weeks. Blue Jay’s surgery is estimated between $638 and $1,247.

I don’t have enough to get her the surgery.

Blue Jay is such a sweet girl (she was covering the vet’s hand in kisses while he was doing the exam) and still full of life, but this tumor will rapidly drain her life. I’m trying to do everything I can to not let that happen.

So I’m posting this GoFundMe. I know there are much bigger problems in the world right now, and other people are facing much worse, but if you can donate even just $1 to save this sweet little girl’s life I would forever appreciate it. She doesn’t deserve to die early. If you can’t spare anything, please consider reblogging this post so more people could possibly help.

There’s a video of Blue Jay (and her friends) for tax below the break, tumor and all. If the tumor freaks you out, there’s some older picture of her above it, without the tumor.

We’re currently at $398 of my intended $1000 goal. Once that money transfers I’m going to go ahead and schedule the surgery and see if I can split the payment between CareCredit and what I have. Part of the quoted estimate included a spay and x-rays so, unless more donations come in soon, I’m going to decline those so that I can afford just the mass-removal surgery with what I have.

If you haven’t yet, and are able, please consider donating a small bit or just sharing to help me get her the spay as well (so the tumor doesn’t come back) or, at least pay off some of the CareCredit debt so that if something else comes up soon (I have… 7 rats 🫠) I will be ready this time.

Here’s pictures of Blue Jay eating a little cookie with me right now:

And Blue Jay’s surgery is in two days!

I didn’t get enough so I’m going to decline the spay and histopath (I think the x-rays might be necessary for the mass removal surgery). This means the tumor may come back, but I can’t afford the spay now. :/ I will update everyone on how the mass-removal goes after the surgery is over!

If you can though, I would still appreciate donations. I’d like to get some of the Care Credit debt paid off so that I can use the card next time something comes up.
