My fiance and I are having multiple surgeries soon. We dont have dates yet, but we are told to expect consults within the next month or so, and to expect things to move quick after. These surgeries are gender affirming, but they're being pushed through so quickly because they're also going to treat severe, life affecting medical conditions we both have. This is amazing, especially because insurance will cover most of the medical costs.

But there's one massive issue. Hospitals generally cannot feed us. So we need to bring our own food which is going to be incredibly expensive (breakdown below the cut) and on top of that, weve been prescribed medication that insurance wont cover, so we need $85 for that.

I do art as seen below, I have a patreon and kofi for those. I have a GFM up to help with this and that explains a lot more too. If you'd like to help outright, here are some links.

Not being able to eat in hospitals is due to severe allergies, we've dealt with it before. We are allergic to several major allergens. The post i linked above has a lot of more specific info. The best thing we can do to assure we are able to eat during our hospital stays is to buy and bring pre-packaged/microwavable food. Doing this for a week has cost up to $300 before. We are currently looking at needing at least 4 weeks in the hospital.

We start a new gig soon which should help to cover household expenses but the medical stuff is still very urgent.

$5 has been recieved since this was posted. I had posted previously about needing medications for both myself and my fiance that insurance wouldn't cover, we got mind, and we arent far from gettinf his. We are currently estimating between the med for him that insurance won't cover and the food for the weeks in the hospital after surgeries, we will need $1,245. Obviously insurance hasn't yet processed everything, but insurance is expected to cover everything else. All things considered, this is extremely cheap for a handful of gender affirming surgeries + surgeries that will treat long term organ damaging health issues. It is also not something we can achieve by ourselves.

Huge thank you to anyone who shares or helps. It feels really surreal to be getting all this scheduled during pride month in an increasingly fascist country.

We are going into town today for appointments. If we get $45 while we are there, we could pick up my fiances meds that insurance won't cover. Generally, my entire week is back-to-back medical appointments.

Yesterday we got $115 to the GFM! It hasn't hit my acct yet, so it doesn't help us get his meds today, but it is amazing progress to us being able to eat after surgery!!! Again, massive thanks again to those sharing and helping with this.

the among us show being a total gorefest on par with john carpenter's the thing is a really fun choice

the among us show having a gay orgy in the middle of it is another really fun choice

realizing many people don't know about infinity train creator owen dennis' among us show from years ago, which has been trapped in unreleased limbo all this time and was just dumped on streaming this morning with no advertisement. they don't even know about its weirdly stacked cast

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

hiiiii soooooo as you guys may know, alu got hit by a car last month. he was miraculously okay but he did break one of his teeth, and it turns out he needs it removed 🥲 he's in more pain every day and it's starting to affect his ability to eat so it can't wait. and it's a little much for me to cover on my own right now, since school is out and my summer job search is going slow :(

if anyone can spare a few dollars to help me pay for the appointment (the vet gave me a rough estimate of about $500 but that wasn't including the meds they'll surely tack on...), i would really appreciate it 🥲 pls share this post too if you can ;; i hate seeing my baby uncomfortable and in pain, and waiting too long risks infection

here's my ko-fi !!!!! anything helps, thank you so so so much

My fiance and I (already struggling to keep our phones on) are both going to be going through major surgery sometime in the future, which is a huge deal for a few reasons. The surgeries themselves are both gender affirming and will address serious long-suffered health issues. But we have such severe allergies that hospitals generally cannot feed us full meals without killing us. (ask me more about this, I would love an opportunity to scream about it)

In the past, a week in this hospital has cost us $300 for both of us to get food we can actually prepare and eat in a hospital room. We are looking at some insane upcoming costs, even if our insurance covers everything directly related to the surgery, because it absolutely won't cover the food costs.

oh, and I'm going through a cancer scare, waiting on a biopsy. Just totally separate from all this, so yknow. Sort of bracing for things to get worse.

Anything helps with this. I made art and you can buy pieces at my kofi If you'd like to help directly, I have a gfm and my payment links are as follows. Dm for proof or details.

At the time of this being posted, we have recieved $30 to go towards this. These surgeries will be both gender affirming and medically life-changing for us. We deeply appreciate any help preparing us to take care of eachother through all of this.

[theartistrans]

Happy pride, yall. I know this has a lot of notes, but I just got prescribed a med insurance won't cover, and this everything we've got from this just barely coveres is. We really need help with medical/related costs right now.
