Okay fresh post with my GFM link. Insurance deemed it medically unnecessary. Surgeon's office says they don't appeal denials but I am getting some outside help with trying to overturn that decision. Thank you everyone who has donated and shared so far www.gofundme.com/f/help-ari-g...

I remember what it was like in Minneapolis waking up to the entire neighborhood smelling like tear gas. That wafted from over a mile away. Please if you are out there bring protection. Journalist Linda Tirado who covered the 2020 protests is dying from a TBI from a rubber bullet she took to the head

for a moment #MerMay

digital illustration of two merfolk hanging out by the water. One merman, who is propping himself up by the elbows whilst laying down, has his fish tail dipping in the water. Surrounded by the tail is another merfolk, sitting by the water, his arm resting on his knee. On the backdrop is a stark white building, the structure of which is minimalist and almost impossible.

The two merfolk are sharing a longing look at each other.
