The second part of our fifth and final issue is now here for you in hard copy form, with all sales going toward INQUEST and Trans Survivors Switchboard and we can’t wait for you to see it! 🥰

To celebrate our final issue for the forseeable future we have put together a very special roundtable titled ‘Survive the Night: An Endlessly Affirming Roundtable of Advice, Advocacy, Assertions and Aspirations for Storming Through Mental Health Struggles On Our Most Hopeless of Days’. And at 78 pages long, with 105 contributors, it turned out so big and beautiful that we had to release it as its own issue in and of itself! 📖

Featuring writing, artwork and more by awesome humans such as Vanessa Willoughby, James Gaunt, Tavi Gevinson, Rudy Loewe, Dior Vargas, Cindy L. Rodriguez, Khairani Barokka, Mya Carmichael, Alaina Leary, Imade Nibokun, Hannah Rose Ewens, Stefanie Kaufman, Kailey Flyte, Simone Lia, Zeba Talkhani and countless others! Lovingly designed in full colour, this very special roundtable issue is jam packed with soothing illustrations, thoughtful writing, colourful collages and real talk. We think it is beautiful, we think it is necessary, and we hope you do too.

Plus as an extra thank you, we are throwing in a digital copy of the bumper issue of Doll Hospital Issue Five! That includes the main part of our fifth issue which is not included in this print launch. Plus a whole bunch of spotify mixes of good vibe sounds!

All orders are shipped in a timely manner from Bristol, U.K (so if you’re ordering from farther afield please allow it a little extra time to reach you!)

We think it is beautiful, we think it is necessary, and we hope you do too.

Normally, all the profits from our print issues, and pay as you wish digital issues, would go straight back into making Doll Hospital Journal. You see, sales are our only income so previously any money raised went towards practical things like printing hard copies and posting out contributor's copies.

However, as this is our final issue for the forseeable future we don't have to worry about saving our pennies for our next print release. Not only is that a nice relief, I mean fundraising is stressful, it also means we can put the money we raise from this roundtable, as well as future sales of our pay as you wish digital copies, to good use with all profits going towards INQUEST UK and Trans Survivors Switchboard. 🌟

More info coming soon so watch this space! 🎊

I don’t have a car so I walk everywhere and it’s tough on my shoes. Buying used is typically cheaper so that’s what I do, but then they’re already half busted by the time I get them. When I walk around in shoes like this is, the ground rubs through my socks too and then I may as well be barefoot.

I can get a new or newish pair of sneaks for like $20 but frankly I don’t have $20. Not to spare, not at all. Long story short, if anyone has a buck to kick around, my venmo is @angelprolapse.

I know it’s hard outchea all over, so take care. Thanks for reading. 🖤💋✊🏽

Hey everyone, my name's Yuval, and I'm a jewish, butch trans woman. I have bipolar 1 and PTSD, and am only currently on medication for my bipolar disorder. And although I'm lucky enough to be medicated, I'm still having a rough, rough time. This is in large part due to my unresolved and untreated...

Hey y’all, I’m in a bit of a heavy bind right now. There’s been a lot of medical expenses that have come up in the last few months, along with life circumstances that have really messed up my financial situation. I’m asking for help in affording medical care that I need, and I would heavily appreciate any amount of support that people can give.

If you can’t donate, please share!!!

*internal screaming*

Hey, so I moved states to escape constant anti-Black harassment and be closer to extended family and was planning on staying with said family til they found out I was on hormones and decided that was somehow threatening to my younger primxs living in the home 😑 So I’ve spent all the money I saved up on hostels and bus fare to get to job interviews and now my account is wayyy overdrawn and will be closed if I don’t get back to $0.00+ by October.

If my account is closed then I’ll also lose my phone (the bill for which is taken from the overdrawn account) because I can’t open a new bank account without a valid ID or an initial deposit which I currently don’t have. Without a phone number it’s pretty impossible to get a job and I won’t even be able to look for any w/o internet access (can’t use the library computers w/o a library card which requires, you guessed it, a valid ID).

There’s just been a storm of circumstances that have left me broke and homeless in a state where I no longer have the support that I did when I arrived. I’m continuing to job hunt aggressively (been to 37 interviews in the last month) and work random cash gigs that buy groceries but I’m just barely keeping my ahead above water and due to SESTA/FOSTA, recent stings, and trauma from previous assaults can’t reliably/consistently count on sex work to make ends meet.

So, if you have a couple bucks to spare and want to help out a Black lesbian in need my Venmo is @angelprolapse or I can accept funds thru FB Messenger (DM me 4 details). I know it’s hard outchea so if you’re not in a position to donate, do me a solid and reblog? Thx for reading + take care 🖤🖤🖤

I get the concept of embracing ugliness but I think in practice it’s a terrible idea

[sunfortune]

like it doesn’t subvert the beauty standards that already tell you, you are. it still forces a label on you. you’re either pretty or you’re ugly. like I don’t wanna be either of those things. I just want to be allowed to exist.

and like telling 15 year olds to accept and embrace that theyre ugly instead of educating them that the reason they think that is not because they are, But because of the artificial standards created subliminally and explicitly by movies, makeup companies, and magazines

and especially for young woc, like so many young girls think they’re ugly because they don’t have pale skin, they’re not skinny, they have big brows, big noses, strong features, etc

To tell them “yeah you Are ugly, embrace that” is 😬 like instead of undermining those standards and just letting them Live without feeling like they need to change, it reinforces them
