cis people,

you have to show up. right now. we do not have the numbers, but you do.

we are talking about suicide. that's what this headline is.

taking away HRT will increase trans suicides. i and so many others are dead without it.

don't let us die without trying to keep us alive. call, please.

HEY YOU, BLUESKY USER

Make noise in the comments, submit feedback forms on their site, go.

Here are some amazing pieces by my gal @lewpyl.bsky.social, where Gwynn, the Destiny series’ space goth whose brain has been cooked by thrillseeking a tad too extreme, discovers that tickle torture (of all things) is her unlikely hard limit and reacts accordingly.

Tell Mastercard to end their unjust policy now.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I made a quick and dirty anti-censorship cheat sheet to help onboard people and direct their energy in a productive direction. This isnt as comprehensive as various websites being shared around, but it should be easy to share and save.

job's HR finally got back to me about workplace accomodations just to tell me they can't accommodate me and they're going to move me from my position... and until another one opens up I don't have a job. to which they said "there's basically no openings so good luck"

♡ Bun • On VGen! @theangorabunnie.bsky.social · Jul 12

My mother had heart failure at the start of the summer and she has recently been diagnosed with more related to it that have worsened her quality of life.

I'm her main caretaker. Please help me support her so that I can pay for her medicine and our groceries; Thank you!

My links
My VGen 🎀 My Ko-Fi

TheAngorabunnie's mascot Bunnie, a small lemon sized fairy rabbit, is on a two toned pink background with near white stitched in markings and hearts.

The mascot speaks to the viewer in a heart shaped speech bubble, saying:

"Please consider cosider commissioning me! Any support helps bring food to the table and for rent / bills to get paid."

#helpsky #fundsky #commissions #kofi #mutualaid

Roughly a month ago if not a bit more, my mother was sent to the emergency room due to sudden heart failure and she had to have emergency surgery.

Since then, she has been thrown in and out of the ER many times, she has stayed at the hospital as a whole for weeks at a time and it really feels like a vicious cycle as they've only discovered and diagnosed her with more things since the HF, with most of them only coming to light a few days ago.

I won't bring up all of them or go too far into all of the diagnoses in detail as I want my mama to keep her dignity in what I share, but so far what we've learnt beyond her heart failure is...

She was already a partial wheelchair user, but since the HF she's been stiff and unable to walk well at all... She's been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis that is slowly going to stiffen her up, meaning she most likely will become a fulltime user; On top of that, she's been diagnosed with osteoarthritis as well, making it a bad stiffness combo.

• Due to her body fighting against taking calcium than regulating it, they're going to book her for a removal of her parathyroid gland.

This and many other things I haven't written about have hit our family like a heavy collision, as she is our matriarch.

I am currently her main caretaker, as I don't want my younger siblings to have to put their lives on a pause while I can afford to do that as the eldest. Don't worry, they still help out and our father takes longer shifts to help provide for her treatments and aid.

But I want to help more too, more than what I already do: And if commissions are the only way for me to do so right now, it will have to do, I can't leave her alone.

If you consider supporting me by any means, through Ko-fi or VGen, know that you have a piece of my heart in gratitude. 💕
