tl;dr: im fine, school is a lot, and something awesome is happening and if you would donate here that would mean the world to me
Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since… I’ve posted anything substantial. I’ve been really really busy with school, like more busy than i ever imagined. I just finished my spring semester, and I passed, yay!!!! I am SO TIRED, HAHA. Any veterinary school is not for the weak, us vet nurses (technicians is the technical term here) also get that. But, I’m very proud of myself. I’m taking a few days to just… catch up on sleep (GOD.) and with friends before I start making things and getting back to my commission queue. I left this semester with a lot of inspiration for art so hopefully you all will see that soon! Other than that… I have something pretty exciting to share!
As mentioned previously, I am currently in school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician (essentially, a vet nurse.) and it is thanks to my school that I have been offered the wonderful opportunity to travel abroad to the Dominican Republic to help animal welfare. But this comes at a cost and I need help in reaching the funds to be able to go.
This experience will aid me in bettering my skills as a future LVT, but more importantly, I, alongside Project Samana’s team plus my colleagues and the veterinarian & LVTs that are educating me will be able to provide necessary veterinary care to animals who would otherwise not have it. By donating you are backing a wonderful cause and helping out animals in need!
Unfortunately, at the moment I do not currently have the time to take on any more commissions, but if this is to change I will update. For now, we have a donation pool (yayyy!)
Any and I really mean any, a dollar goes a long way in this economy, amount helps. I have until August to raise the necessary funds to be able to go.
If you are wanting to donate money but are unable to through kofi *please* reach out to me. If you are unable to donate in general, consider sharing this with someone who might be able to or who can help with outreach!
To donate, see here: https://ko-fi.com/sevenator/goal?g=0
To learn more about Project Samana please go here: https://www.projectsamana.org
Any additional funds to this goal will go towards the budget for future outreach events that my program may hold for future cohorts
Thank you so much in advance if you do choose to donate, you are helping thousands by doing so and I am eternally grateful. I hope to return the favor by going out and helping the community!
My partner Seven is a veterinary technician in training and has the opportunity to WORK WITH THE ANIMAL WELFARE PROGRAM PROJECT SAMSANA TO PROVIDE VETERINARY CARE TO ANIMALS in the Dominican Republic!!
DONATE HERE to help make this a reality, funding this not only helps the program but contributes to future ongoing professional veterinary education!
will make a more formal announcement soon but... i've finally made a vgen! if anyone wants to commission me through a fancy, pristine website there's the opportunity for you, might open up some more slots that are far more affordable as well
Latest reblog reminds me of how much it pisses me the fuck off how every queer person alive has to adapt to the usamerican style of queerness lest we get shunned by the community for being too different. I bring this up a lot but bro that time I got death threats for having ele/dele in my bio bc "by using neopronouns I was making a mockery of REAL trans people" when those are literally just my pronouns in my native language, and when I said that I got hit w the "well you're on the internet so speak english" I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS
I feel the need to miss out a crucial detail I missed out in this post I made out of anger, and no, it doesn't add any silver linings or good context, it honestly only serves to make it worse.
In portuguese, much like spanish, we have no gender neutral pronouns. People who do not use ele/dele and ela/dela (he/him or she/her) all use whatever neopronoun suits them best in portuguese (ie elu/delu, eli/deli) because we have no access to a universal gender neutral pronoun like gringos do. When I brought this up upon them making fun of my "neopronouns", they said to suck it up, and that being foreign does not make neos valid.
In mocking people who use neopronouns in english, you are mocking a very large sum of latin american genderqueer and trans people.
I know various latin language speakers that struggle with their identities in their native tongue due to us not having they/them equivalents, so they are forced to let go of their, in example, brazilian queerness, to appease to anglos who would harass them and call them mockeries of trans people for not sticking to what The Cis want.
When non-anglos tell you the usamerican and british dominance over queer spaces ruins things for them, they mean it. We are forced to repress our identites because you people think they're too "out there and problematic". We are forced to suppress our own queer culture because we don't fit into your neat little boxes of what makes someone gay what makes someone a lesbian what makes someone trans or what makes someone anything else.
You tell us to remember "our queer elders", but do you know of any queer latin american figures? We learn your history, and you refuse to learn ours because you already have "too much on your plate". You disregard us and shame us for not fitting your ideals of queerness and using labels for ourselves you dislike, and try to baby us and tell us the proper way to be gay.
Your culture is not universal.
You are not saving queer people by making jabs at other queer people you don't personally get. Odds are you are harming an entire group of foreign queers you never bothered to consider, because your anglo bubble is too self important.
If you want to do queer people a real favour instead of getting mad at identities that existed long before you were even born, here. Make yourself useful. Donate to queer brazilian housing and support programs. Your beloved dollar is worth a lot more than the Real. Even five dollars help.
this only works if you pronounce conference as three syllables, most people where I come from (myself included) omit the e between f and r when speaking, making it two.
Just remembered that instead of going to bed at a reasonable hour last night I made a tier list ranking every male pokemon npc based on how divorced I think they are. This is a catastrophic discourse waiting to happen
Whenever I can't feel a pulse I just assume it's incompetence on my part so I'm just envisioning a silent two and a half minutes as Bruce slowly checks a wrist. And then moves his fingers around. And then moves them some more.
And then checks the other wrist. And moves his fingers around. And tries the first wrist again. And then the second wrist again but slightly longer.
And then checks his neck—only on one side—and then the first wrist again. And the neck on the other side. And then moves his fingers around. And then—
"Do you get it now?" Danny groans, exasperated beyond belief. "Stop prodding me already!"
Apprentice Adam au is cool, but what about a rogue Adam au? Where he somehow escapes not by anybody from the Jigsaw squad, either on his own or outside help and the experience really changed his life but not the way Jigsaw intended. I mean John asked Adam if he was going to take charge of his life, well he took his advice and is now disrupting and sabotaging his games. At first they’re like, “Okay he’s just being a nuisance” and he’s so hard to find these days. It’s until he somehow was able to expose Hoffman earlier on, got one of their latest hideouts swatted (they barley escaped) and pretty sure he was the driver who cut them off during traffic.
John is then forced to use Lawrence to try and seduce Adam (he sensed the tension between in the bathroom). It seems to work at first, but Adam already knew Lawrence was in League with Jigsaw and was just playing him from the start. As Adam’s exposing Jigsaw’s latest location, he mentions how hot Lawrence would look in orange.
I just wrote this out of fun. I can just imagine John’s face as he thinks, “How the f**** did my life’s work get wrecked by this insignificant twink?”
i think it'd be really funny if john just kinda kept william around not as a lover not as an apprentice but as a secret third thing. kind of like a pet but also not. william is like the bug he keeps in a jar just to stare at for an unnerving amount of time. occasionally he shakes the jar just to see what happens. all of his apprentices are confused as to why this guy is hanging around. or why he's not dead. hoffman just thinks it's really fucking annoying. oh you get to keep your irritating fucking blood sucking health insurance ceo but i can't keep my fbi agent on a leash and collar in a dimly lit cell with only a dog food bowl to keep him company? fuck you john
