It’s not very reassuring that Trojan brand condoms are named after an army famous for accidentally letting a few soldiers through their impregnable wall.

If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.

but wait, there’s more.

nope, not done yet. 

hold on… almost done

oh trust me, I can go on. 

Yeah, Nicki Minaj seems like a terrible role model to me. 

But really, Nicki Minaj isn’t here to mother your children. She’s confident in who she is as a woman and she’s not afraid to show it off.

OKAY GUYS LISTEN UP STOP SCROLLING AND SIT YOUR ASSES DOWN ON THE GROUND ESPECIALLY IF YOU’VE BEEN READING /ANYTHING/ ABOUT LEELAH ALCORN AND HER STORY BECAUSE GODDAMN IF THIS ISN’T JUST AS IMPORTANT. 

Okay have I got your attention? Fabulous. Now don’t think me to be comparing issues with issues I’m simply using the recent media uproar to get some much needed attention on a problem very close to my heart.

This gorgeous flower child of a boy above is my friend Rocky. He is, if you haven’t guessed it yet, Transgender. A while ago I reblogged a post from one of his other close friends asking for donations and help in getting out of his house due to the situation he’s in at home with his parents; examples including their refusal to acknowledge his being Trans, as well as several other points I will get to later following the last post. 

Recently I’ve found out that the post was taken down because his parents managed to locate it, and even went so far as to threaten his friend in saying they want to sue him for libel or slander. They’ve also since been refusing to let Rocky use the internet, changing the the password three times a month and locking him out of the network so he cant talk to anyone. Now that might not seem like much, yeah, no internet big whoop. But they’ve also been making efforts to isolate him from everyone and everything.  From my talkings with him I’ve gathered these stories;

"like. i slept over at a friends house on new years right?? well when i came home my stepdad pushed me on the ground and my mom called the police on me and told them i was doing drugs and assaulting my family members (????) and then went outside to the car that dropped me off and started screaming about how im mentally ill and i steal and lie and when they tried to drive away she screamed at them and took pictures of their license plate"

"my aunt was staying over for christmas break and when she found out i was trans and that rory is trans she went into my room and shut the door and started screaming at me and calling me an it, and then when i told her i wasnt going to listen to her if she was going to be disrespectful she screamed "IT" in my face and slammed the door"

"also i found out yesterday when i was in the deli that they went through my wallet and took my debit card"

The list continues but I think that’s enough that you can gather my point. I can’t help personally feeling liable for Rocky’s health because I had a huge hand in him coming out with himself and consequently his parents. It has been made very clear to me and hopefully to you as well that his parents are having a dangerous affect on his health and welbeing, as well as just being dangerous full stop. He’s too terrified to call the police in case nothing happens and he has jack all enough to get out of this toxic living environment permanently and get somewhere safe. 

Due to his now lacking a debit card and inability to get on his tumblr, donations are difficult. Until he can access a new debit card and a reliable Wifi connection, we’ve decided to let me take hold of the transactions and get the money to him ASAP. 

So here’s the gritty stuff.

He needs around 200USD minimum for train tickets and food so he can get somewhere safe and away from his parents until we figure out a more secure option.

Go to my blog and click the little donation pup in my sidebar. [Please let me know if it’s not working]. Donate anything you want or anything you can. This could potentially save my friend’s life and if you don’t think that’s worth fighting for than you obviously haven’t been listening. 

If you want something in return he’d be more than happy to draw you a little doodle and I can pass it on. 

If you can’t donate, SIGNAL BOOST. I want this post to skyrocket to the toppest tops of my most reblogged posts and I want it to appear on my dash twofold. This deserves to be talked about. This boy needs some aid and I can’t do it alone.

So please help my friend.

It would mean a lot. 

Thank you.

Patients of surgeon Harold Gillies during WWI and WWII

Okay, these photographs pissed me off a bit, because they don’t show off how much of a genius Dr. Harold Gillies, the father of modern plastic surgery, was.  Rhinoplasty, skin grafts, and facial reconstructions have been practised for centuries.  However, it was this New Zealander surgeon who standardized these techniques and established the discipline of “plastic surgery.”

The introduction of more destructive weapons of WWI and WWII resulted in devastating injuries. In addition, in trench warfare, the head was more exposed than the rest of the body, and soldiers’ faces were often shattered or burnt beyond recognition. Despite the best efforts of surgeons, many soldiers were left hideously disfigured. Traditionally, the edges of facial wounds were simply stitched together, but when scar tissue contracted faces were left twisted and disfigured, so a new type of surgery was needed.

Gillies rebuilt faces using tissue from elsewhere in the body. Antibiotics had not yet been invented, meaning it was very hard to graft tissue from one part of the body to another because infection often developed, so Gillies invented the tubed pedicle,” where he used a flap of skin from the chest or forehead and “swung” it into place over the face. The flap remained attached but was stitched into a tube. This kept the original blood supply intact and dramatically reduced the infection rate.  After many surgical construction, grafting, and healing, which could take months to years, the tentacle-like tubing would be removed, and (volia!) a new face!

He was also the first to do sex reassignment surgery from female to male in 1946, then male to female using a flap technique in 1951, which became the standard for 40 years.

tl;dr, these were his patients BEFORE the surgery. He didn’t DISFIGURE these people he HELPED them.
