im probably getting discharged from the hospital back to the skilled nursing facility within the next day or two. that means i need money for food because they cant accommodate my diet.
i also need help affording a bed that raises / reclines for when i finally get to go home, as my last abdominal surgery left me bedbound and unable to properly sit up on my own. my mom is too scared of potential bedbugs to let me get a used hospital bed so im probably gonna have to buy a non hospital bed that does that. so yeah.
things are really hard right now and i feel like im dying because no one will properly treat the infections i keep getting. my belly is still cut wide open and has been for three months and they haven't fixed my perforated bowel yet and may not for several more months. please help me, i feel like i cant do this anymore

not seeing a lot of people on here talking about ICE murdering another man yesterday. His name was Lorenzo Salgado Arajou. He was a Mexican man living in Huston Texas. He was killed at age 52 and lived the past 35 years here in the USA, and was in the process of obtaining a work permit. He was shot and killed during a traffic stop that ICE claims was part of a targeted operation, and claimed he was “weaponizing his vehicle”- the same claim ICE agents made when they shot and murdered Renee Good.
During the stop, Lorenzo had 3 coworkers with him in his truck who have all been taken into ICE custody.
His family described Lorenzo as a hardworking family man who didn’t deserve to be killed. All he wanted was to provide for his wife and see his sons become great people. His eldest son recognized his father by his cries and pleas when trying to identify who the victim was.
The Salgado Araujo family has set up a gofundme to help with funeral and legal costs, and to help keep their family supported since Lorenzo was the sole provider.
On the morning of July 7, 2026, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was ta… LULAC Institute, Inc. needs your support for In Loving Memory of Lorenzo Salg
barbara smith, the dance of masks, from the persistent desire, edited by joan nestle, alyson publications, 1992:
[Well, that’s what you want, isn’t it, sex? You want a good fuck don’t you? Of course, I do, but I want an interesting chase. Don’t want a pushover, don’t like it too easy. I like a little challenge on the way to foregone conclusion: fancied you the minute you walked in thought you’d never come over blah blah. I want to be obvious, obviously butch, obviously someone. Steaming with passion, I want to smell of it, I want to ooze it, I want it sweating out of every pore, written in and between every line with no room for ambiguity, hidden behind every gesture and always on the surface, manifest in every easy joke that always gets a laugh, so far into me that it’s almost in the background, my hungry cunt standing behind me like a predatory shadow. Watch out, here comes Barb with her cunt on a lead again. Yeah, but which one’s the cunt? And does it bite?
So I’m gonna stand in that bar, real cool, and hunt. Stand where I get a clear view of the door. Watch them all come in, eyeing them up and trying them on for size. I want to play that frightening, dangerous game with myself— how long can I act the cool butch? How long can I stand there looking mean and moody or bored and uninterested when my heart is racing with anticipation? How long can I pretend to them that it doesn’t matter, easy come, easy go? How long can I keep it going before I run out of steam and they realize I’m lonely, shy, and embarrassed?
You can see through me if you want, but be gentle with what’s underneath. In these situations I only have a patina of power, lying along the surface of my skin. I want to want and be wanted so badly that the merest finger touch, the slightest lifting of a femme’s eyebrow when she evaluates me, feels like a knife slipping under my skin. But sometimes I can balance on that knife edge; sometimes it doesn’t cut my skin. Sometimes I’m so on the spot, so well measured, so poised with my posing, that I can breakdance on the point of a needle.
Tonight all the jokes will be funny. I will be the entertaining, laugh-a-minute, woman-of-the-world butch. I will be the writer with the funny anecdotes, the witty comments. I will be barbed and bristling, busy, busy with my butch performance. I will stand at that bar and select my femme, who picked me out moments beforehand anyway, and I will dance my butch’s dance for her. I will be dapper and aching to please this woman who spied the shark and reeled her in with a hand line. I will stand there with my strong, clean, straight sharp lines and wait for her to lay a gentle hand on me that will barely touch me, that will stroke me like a feather, that will soften the hard edges, but not take away their power to cut.”]

Two Utah court clerks have been dubbed "anti-ICE vigilantes" after they were allegedly caught "sneaking" immigrants out the back door of the
That's how you show real solidarity!
"After they overheard that ICE was at the courthouse to arrest someone, they improperly accessed court databases to determine who was not born in the United States," a DOJ detention filing says. "They then snuck every suspected illegal alien who was at the courthouse out a back door, where ICE, who was waiting in the parking lot for their target to leave the building, could not see them."
Think about what you can do at your job or in your daily life to resist fascism when the opportunity presents itself!

I've seen a bunch of "fandom etiquette" posts on my dash today and I'm going to say something that is maybe going to be unpopular but;
The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.
And I am not going to mince words here:
A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.
That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.
"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.
So much of "fandom etiquette" seems to be about insulating creatives from Feeling Bad and hostility to any kind of negative feedback is a pretty big contributor to why bigotry festers in these spaces.
happy disability pride month im still trying not to die
essentially i was already very chronically ill and constantly in the hospital for sepsis and then i had a surgery that went very badly and now ive spent my time in the hospital for 2 and a half months and then the last two weeks in a post-acute nursing home waiting for my next surgery.
i have a bowel perforation, have for the last 3 months and they wont do surgery until my nutrition labs are better. problem is, my nursing home wont accommodate my diet so my nutrition levels have actually gone DOWN instead of trending up like they need to. this means ive had to order a lot of delivery and my funds are running out fast. so i could really use some help with that bc this really sucks and i keep getting infections from the bowel leak and my intestines are literally exposed to air through a fistula on my belly rn. would really really appreciate the help bc again this sucks so bad, my quality of life is so poor right now and i just need to improve my nutrition levels so i can get out of this nursing home and back into the actual world please

Not to be too much of a traumatized prey animal on main but yesterday in public I ended up sitting on a bench that backed into the natural corner of the room so I could put my back right up against the corner and see any and all people approaching me from any angle well before they got close to me and it felt so fucking good
(in case no one has said this to you in a while) i am proud of you for continuing to exist when it feels impossible
the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.
imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.
What am I supposed to get from this, aside from a general feeling of pity towards the suffering?
Is it "Indians are acting very irresponsibly regarding climate change"? or is it "With a billion and a half of them in the same system they can't effectively work together to solve a shared problem"?
I refuse to believe they don't possess the knowledge and the manpower to craft a real response to these challenges so it must be that the will is not there.
The Nation of India should dissolve if it's too large and complex to be efficiently and honestly administrated.
With public health issues this serious being ignored, Indians would clearly be better served by smaller polities with more limited scope, and better incentives to serve the public (fear preferably), as it's quite obvious that the current state apparatus is not interested in doing so ('cos it's not scared).
jeez dude calm down are people not allowed to make posts anymore
Why would you assume I was excited? Are people not allowed to respond to posts anymore?
I think it's a serious problem that Indian people need to address even at the cost of some political unrest and major investment of time and resources and I said so.
Is that wrong somehow?
yes my friend it IS wrong.
it's weird that nowhere in the post were you specifically addressed, but you clearly took it to heart enough to type out that long-ass response. you're allowed to respond, but you clearly took this post as a personal affront and diverted it to make it about what YOU were supposed to do.
im unsure if you know this but people make posts about how this country is on fire AND theyre allowed to raise awareness about it especially to a wider western audience that likely doesnt know about it due to anglocentrism. that was the point of the previous poster. theyre allowed to make posts. especially since a HUGE part of the acceleration of the problem is the west's exploitation of indian resources and the fact that they offload their shit in india and the fact that a majority of india lies below the poverty line and is still dealing with the after-effects of colonization. the original post was nice enough to not say it, but i will! yes, the west IS responsible for the climate situation in india!
why havent indians fixed it yet? why havent usamericans and canadians fixed every problem in their country? why does the imperial core still have flaws? why havent westerners fixed it yet, why are they and their governments stupid? they have access to a lot of things that us third worlders dont have... so why havent they locked in yet? i am forced to assume they just like living in subpar conditions while their government exploits underprivileged countries. you are responsible for every single one of your country's flaws! you heard that right!
oh wait, i forgot. this over-generalization and lumping everyone into a hivemind is only acceptable for us third world browns, isnt it? it's not like we're individuals.
im not gonna pretend that explaining something to a person determined to miss the point is going to go anywhere, and if you continue being stupid i am going to advise you to block me beforehand. i refuse to let this post be derailed by your fragile ego so here's some articles about heatwaves in india and some ways YOU, yes YOU person reading this with money to spare, can help!
South Asia is witnessing scorching heat waves, with temperatures in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India regularly surpassing 110 degrees Fahrenh
Modi denied climate change for years. Now, as heat deaths mount, his government offers branding instead of protection.

realized i actually should've gotten the smaller / lighter wheelchair if im gonna be living with my mom because it would maybe fit in the house better and she'd be able to lift it into a car because the other one is only 30 lbs 😮💨
ok. ok. so im stupid. i was being overly optimistic thinking id be able to get use out of the reclining wheelchair i got because im not going to be able to be independent enough for like. several months after all of this. im going to return it and get the smaller/lighter one that my mom can actually lift into her car but this one wont be returned in time for brand month to still be going and while the other one is $728 rn its normally like $1300. i have about $500 rn and while it was going towards food because my facility cant accommodate my diet i think it would be better to order the other chair before brand month is over. that means i need another $228. im going to return the other one as soon as it arrives and eventually ill get the $989 back but not in time for brand month to be over 😭 if i could get help with this it would be great. i could even pay the difference back when i get the refund for the one i am returning
