hello, my name is dils. im a black genderqueer lesbian saint lucian living in saint lucia. im also multiply neurodivergent, physically disabled and mentally ill. and august 1st is emancipation day, which marks the end of slavery and later apprenticeship in the english caribbean.

ive been dealing with an injury in my hip since september of last year, which i have, as of the time of writing this, finally found the cause of (new disability check). however this required a bilateral hip mri which cost $3,500 ec dollars. i was able to pay $1,000 myself, and my mother covered the remaining $2,500, which i now need to reimburse her.

i have a job which covers my living expenses, however my mother is retiring soon and will therefore have a steep dip in income, and i also need to save for university in a year, and at the rate im able to pay her back it will take about a year to cover the cost. i would like to request some assistance in reimbursing her and being able to continue saving to move countries for my education.

im actually going to call the medical imaging center to potentially dispute the cost because my doctor has told me they may have overcharged me by pricing what was actually one bilateral mri as 2 separate mris but for now, im setting the goal at $850 usd which is equivalent to about $2,300 xcd, which is the remaining balance i owe my mother. im going to turn off reblogs on this post on august 8th no matter what. i dont expect my debt to be fully repaid by crowd funding, id just like to make a dent in it.

Do not come on my posts with “Black Women Are Superhuman Beings Who Can Handle Anything” takes. That’s a dangerous and reductive rhetoric rife with misogynoir. No, black women cannot take more negative and harmful attacks than other women can. Black women are not primed to withstand more attacks and harassment than women of other races. Stop. That is horrifying. Black women deserve grace, compassion, and a soft place to rest, not constant burdens.

A 19-year-old black trans girl was shot to death this month, and there has been absolutely no media reporting on it - despite extensive reporting on almost identical incidents in the same part of Florida, at the same time. The police, as usual, misgendered her in the police report and have done nothing to find her killer. Her name was Jayla Mcgee. Black trans people deserve to grow old.

A Black trans teen was shot and killed in Florida. Almost no one reported it

Police misgendered Jayla McGee, local media overlooked her homicide, and her community was left to make sure she was not erased.

they should invent a job that doesn't affect your schedule or energy level that you don't have to go to if you don't want but you still get paid

You've got to be more afraid of abandoning yourself than disappointing other people.

some of you are mentally unwell bc your reusable water bottle is filled with black mold go wash that shit

[kienava]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[birdsareblooming]

hi i was drinking mold all my freshman year and got the most sick ive ever been in my life here's good ways to avoid that shit:

number one rule is get stainless steel shit. stainless steel water bottle stainless steel straw, you dont want that rubber plastic etc shit it grows mold like a mf. turns out that was the main culprit of what happened to me, my reusable water bottle was plastic and it didn't matter how much i let it soak or cleaned it out.

get this either if you can or can't afford the stainless steel stuff and just be really on cleaning it; staw cleaner looks like this:

and get one its mammas the bottle cleaner for your cup:

this one is 3 dollars you get soap in there and spin this shit around and push it up and down and the mold will be begging for mercy

[magicalrocketships]

My additional piece of advice: get a pack of denture cleaning tablets. These are especially good if you use your bottle for anything other than water (squash, coffee etc) or if you’ve got a built in straw with awkward curvy bits.

You put that tablet in the bottle, add hot water, let it fizz and soak for a bit and hey presto, any stains or discolouration or weird little crevices are suddenly removed of their hidden nasty bits.

My niece kept saying her water bottle tasted weird, and she washed it and washed it, and then me and my mum were like GIVE IT HERE and we put a denture tablet in it and added the straw to it and it started fizzing up the straw and all this black gunk started coming out the weird curvy bits of the fitted straw like a Coke-mentos experiment.

It’ll taste slightly minty unless you rinse rinse rinse rinse rinse rinse but that’s not a terrible thing, and let’s face it, denture tablets are for cleaning dentures so, you know, designed to clean things that go in mouths.

Anyway: wash your water bottles! Wash your flasks! More often than you think you need to!! Keep denture tablets in the cupboard!!

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

uk ppl the baby bottle steriliser tablets and a big water recepticle + a soak should do it
