Memento Mori

Gay Black History. Blackness and Disability.

“There would be no silicone soldier if it wasn’t for Gosnell Duncan, a black Grenadian man who, in the 70s, had an accident that left him paralyzed. But instead of letting that define him, he turned his pain into progress that also resulted into you and I’s pleasure. He realized that people with disabilities were left out of intimate design, so he invented the silicone soft pack, one of the first silicone based toys built for accessibility, comfort, and inclusion. What he started wasn’t just about pleasure. It was about liberation, empowerment, and respect for everybody.”

Again I say it

📣 EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD WAS INVENTED BY BLACK PEOPLE 📣

hello again friends, loved ones, and beloved mutuals. i hate to be making a post like this again so soon, but bottom surgery was extraordinarily expensive, and the time i had to take off work for surgery was not paid which has made bouncing back financially quite difficult while i wait for insurance to reimburse travel and lodging.

as such, myself and my live-in partner @delicate-viscera are coming up considerably short on the bills this month. we could really use some help making ends meet with rent, utilities, and groceries, as well as catching up on the money owed for the cat sitters who helped take care of our beautiful furballs while we were away from home.

i've never raised near this much money through tumblr before, and honestly i don't expect to, we're scrambling to find help through every avenue available. but anything you can do truly means the world!! even if it's only a couple bucks, even if it's just sending it to someone who you know is in a better position to help, or just sharing it on your blog for reach. we are two dykes in desperate need, recovering from surgery and sickness respectively, please help us make ends meet!!

i love you all very much <3
