my friend created a fundraiser 1yr ago this month. it’s currently 55% funded—typical for BIPOC fundraisers, which rarely get fully funded.

we just left a DV situ bc of poverty & no other options, no safer, dog-safe shelters

more funds=safer options

I am heartbroken to lose yet another person that helped me be the person I am today.

When I was struggling immensely about 4 years ago, Alice Wong commissioned me to make a "Suck It Ableism" pin. I'll never forget her kindness and understanding. And the opportunity to work with her.
Suck It Ableism pin: Star shapes gold outlined pin that says suck it ableism in blue with a bubble tea in the middle with a straw.

I hate watch medical dramas if im being honest with myself.

Those drs be risking their damn careers for their patients. They spend time with them after hard news.

Meanwhile, a neurologist came to give me MRI results like, “You have a mass. Schedule another MRI in 3 months”

(Not cancer btw)
