Hi! I'm Lyn. I'm using this space to explore my identity as a stone fem dyke. I recently discovered that that was what I am, and I am still getting used to allowing myself to feel this way.
🏳️⚧️ I am also nonbinary and use any pronouns, so this is a trans-positive space! 🏳️⚧️
I am 24. I am fem4butch and GNC. I am physically disabled and Mad. I am very fat & very proud! I'm down to chat with other women. I'm single but not currently looking for a serious partner.
I'm going to be using this space to reflect on & document my journey of self-discovery. I'd love to make more friends in the scene!
Thank you for taking the time to visit my little blog 💓
Police entered apartment, called it a case of "arson", seized journals from the bedroom, used a drone and noted presence of Quran in police
This is a developing news story and may be updated as more information is obtained. If you value such information, please support this Substack.
On Dec. 1, a woman immolated herself with a Palestinian flag outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.
Now, according to the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, the woman — referred to in their report as “Jane Doe” — is alive and “in stable condition” at Grady Memorial Hospital, where she has been since the immolation.
After repeated requests for her name, the department stated to this reporter in an email that it “does not disclose the identities of victims”. Repeated inquiries to Grady, which is a public hospital, went unanswered. The hospital houses the Walter L. Ingram Burn Center.
“Jane Doe” is 27.
When asked if they had made any comment to tell the public that she was still alive this entire time, the official at Atlanta Fire Rescue Department said they “shared the last updated with local media via email on 12/21/23. The release stated: ‘The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition. The security guard, who attempted to assist the burn victim, has been released from the hospital.’” Several internet searches on that quote produce no results. This would also indicate that "Jane Doe" went from critical to stable condition without public notice.
Aaron Bushnell immolated himself at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, explaining “I will no longer be complicit in genocide” and shouting “Free Palestine!” repeatedly as he burned alive. So, his case — unlike many other self-immolations including Gregory Levey, Raymond Moules, Timothy T. Brown, Malachi Ritscher and others — has received some attention. Thus, “Jane Doe” being ignored fits with the usual pattern. Bushnell is the exception — probably because he livestreamed it. See “Ignoring Immolators Lulls the Society to Sleep.”
As Bushnell was burning himself alive, an officer pointed a gun at him, barking orders as if he constituted a threat. A security guard, Michael Harris, sustained injuries working to rescue “Jane Doe” — but there were similarities, where she was actually viewed as a potential threat.
At one point, the police report for “Jane Doe” refers to it as being a case of “arson”.
Much of the media coverage and general discussion of her self-immolation in December focused on if she had done damage. The Atlanta Police Chief said: “We believe this building remains safe, and we do not see any threat here.” The Israeli government released a statement: “It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way.”
Police records indicate that they obtained a search warrant and entered an apartment they believed to be associated with “Jane Doe” — initially using a drone:
The drone was able to relay information as to the layout and the belongings inside. After it was deemed "safe" entry was made with bomb technicians. While clearing the apartment no improvised explosive devices were located.
The police report also noted:
During the search a Quran was found in the bedroom along with a [sic] Arabic dictionary and a Hebrew dictionary. The bedroom bookshelf contained books related to fiction and fantasy. A "Drug use for grown ups" book was on the bookshelf as well.
Two journals were seized from the bedroom. A thumbdrive was seized from the bedroom as well. A laptop computer was seized from the kitchen counter. A copy of the search warrant was left in the living room of the apartment. The front door [of] the apartment was secured before law enforcement left the premises.
When pressed for more information in compliance with an Open Records Request under Georgia law, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department claimed: “There is an ongoing and active investigation for the incident in question, which is why the only releasable information has been shared via the incident report. Investigative documentation is not available for release until the investigation is closed.”

i know most people dont actually read these posts so i'll just give yall the jist of it. i really need help. im a permanently disabled trans guy just trying to get by. last year i started experiencing a horrible, completely unexpected medical crisis that ive spent the last 8 months trying to treat. I've racked up almost $4000 in medical bills that i physically have no way to pay for - ive been out of work since november due to these medical issues. that emergency room bill shown above is just the tip of the ice berg.
this is my last resort. ive done everything i can to try to get this settled. i have no other options. if you can donate anything at all, it would mean the absolute world to me.
for those who dont know me, im also a sparkledog furry artist and i will gladly be taking commissions (although my commissions also go towards my general cost of living - rent, utilities, groceries, etc)

Hi, my name is Jordan and I've started this fundraiser at the request o… Jordan Nassar needs your support for Help my Arabic teacher and hi
Here’s another fundraiser I can vouch for. It’s run by a friend of my sister’s. It’s for a family of 9, including elders with chronic conditions who can’t access healthcare. Please share widely across social media platforms 🖤
Yesterday in Portland, ME, eleven people were arrested for blocking an on-ramp to protest the genocide of the Palestinian people. Of those eleven, five were over sixty years old, with the oldest being seventy-six. Never forget that our elders are our allies, and have been putting their lives and livelihoods at risk in the name of justice for longer than most of us have lived.
Hi, my name is Franz and if you are taking the time to read this you probably know me and know… Franz M needs your support for My MTF Body
Hi, my name is Franz and if you are taking the time to read this you probably know me and know a little bit of my story. After living as an out transgender woman since 2016, these past couple years I have been making a concerted effort to relieving my gender dysphoria through surgery. Sadly, my university insurance does not cover any procedures besides bottom surgery, leaving me currently saving up money to the best of my ability, and going into debt if I can't, to cover everything else that I need in order to feel comfortable in my own skin.
I have a lot of dysphoria around the shape of my body. I have gotten comments from family on my awkward proportions, and there are whole sections of myself I can't feel comfortable to have shown publicly. Basically, my shape is very masculine, and I am hopeful that MTF body contouring can alleviate this issue. The procedure will transfer fat from my abdomen to my hips and buttocks, giving me the feminine shape that has unfortunately eluded me after almost 7 years of feminizing hormone therapy.
I have put down a deposit for surgery with Dr. Wendell Perry at The Secret Plastic Surgery, a surgical center in Miami, FL. I have hunted around for the best deal possible on this procedure, while still being able to see a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with the procedure. My tentative surgical date is July 24, 2024.
The funds raised through this campaign will directly contribute to the costs of the surgery, post-operative care, travel, lodging, and any unforeseen medical expenses. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to a future where I am less and less afraid of the body I see in the mirror every day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support in helping me achieve a milestone in my transition.
in case anyone was curious about how my ssdi application is going. i just spoke with the disability determination office, they're currently processing applications submitted in *july 2022* and they received my info last month. so im looking at a year minimum until they even LOOK at my application, let alone the time to process it and get the first denial decision. i hate it here
Remaking and pinning because for the foreseeable future I am only getting about $350 a week, and I can only live off that assuming absolutely nothing comes up and I never need to refill a prescription again. Unfortunately I have several prescriptions and things often go wrong so I am once again begging for money online.
I don't have a specific goal I just need any kind of padding I can get at this point while I apply for jobs.

Hello and Good evening to everyone on and offline reading
Tonight, my husband and I need to babysit Spurs the cat, in order to take Spurs to a new temp foster tomorrow. However, there has been as of late a dangerous group of wayward campers set up behind our tent city fence. The people are unpredictable, high, drunk, and violent with a penchant for theft...I have no personal qualms with their lives, but I do recognize the danger in bringing a very social & trusting cat to an environment she can and HAS in the past wandered freely in out of our control.
That being said, I'm asking for donations enough that we can be in a motel tonight with Spurs the cat safe indoors & transport her to her temporary foster in the morning.
TLDR; Homeless couple needs a motel to keep their cat safe indoors overnight unt she is rehoused temporarily in the morning, TIME SENSITIVE and PLEASE share even if you cant give anything!! $0/169

I know a couple of my friends and lovers have voiced this already but it is very perverse that we use the phrase "be normal about" to mean being accepting of things like homeless people, drug addiction, weird sex and weird genders, because no, the normal thing to do in that situation is to be a repugnant bigot. Please don't be normal, please please please be much better than normal, we are dying.
It ties into how we all want to imagine that we represent something good and old and natural. When like, no. Turns out there is no inherent link between natural and good, between normal and good.
I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.
but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.
telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.
please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.
if you are not sure how or are not able to purchase an esim directly you can donate to Crips for eSims for Gaza's campaign. it is a reputable project of Alice Wong, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Jane Shi.
