“Hello, my name is Sharlene Pike and I am a black transgender person originating from South Africa and working as a receptionist/host. I moved to the United States 4 years ago alone and without any support, as my parents died in my home country when I was 18. Being a transgender black female immigrant places three discrimination barriers and makes it extremely hard to socialize and find a job to live properly. Nevertheless, I tried my best. I had been working at 7 different companies as a receptionist/host/waitress for these four years, but 2 months ago I lost my job. The reasoning I was given - ‘staff reduction due to COVID-19 complications’. I have been unemployed for these 2 months, but the reason I can’t start a new job is not COVID-19. In February, I was diagnosed with stage-3 esophageal cancer. I had no prior knowledge of my diagnosis as this type of cancer can be quite concealed, and I had only two or three weeks of eating discomfort before I had a medical consultation. The company I was working at had a special program to support staff members who need expensive surgeries or therapies, and I believe my diagnosis was the true reason I was reduced, since it happened just after I told my office I might need an extended medical leave. The sum I have spent on the medical procedures only to clarify the future treatment equals my 3 salaries. The sum I’m asking for is actually covering first 6 months of treatment and the cheapest drug - basically simply to have a chance to survive. I have no health insurance and I can’t take a new job because my health condition significantly deteriorated. The thing that I have learnt throughout these months is that it is very hard to get any, even basic medical help if you are transgender. The death rate of the esophageal cancer is about 30%, which is very high, and I ask you to help me to have a chance to survive. I tried to deal with everything without anyone by my side, but current circumstances left me with no choice but to ask you to donate and share my story. Thank you very much.”

My favourite part of this is there are no translation errors in this picture. The fish is a bottom feeder that’s called kinki in Japanese, Channel Rockfish in English, and the Mandarin name is actually honest to god Idiot Fish (okay, maybe Silly Fish, but silly as a word is more…. loveable, doesn’t quite capture the full rage and frustration at whoever you’re terming “傻瓜”)

I think back to these memes everyday. And they did, indeed, not age well.

Thanks, I hate it

This actually show how each and every time we are super unprepared to deal with it.

Every goddamn time

can you explain houses??

1st- the way you were spat out of the abyss into the material world. the whole birth process. the way you approach the world.

2nd- the things that gave you comfort growing up. comfort habits you've subconsciously developed. what/ where you go to when everything's going to shit.

3rd- your neighbourhood. first childhood friends, siblings. the way you acted growing up. early school years.

4th- family environment. the side of you no one else sees, or even thinks you have. what makes you emotionally content.

5th- the way you acted towards first innocent crushes. what brings out the inner child in you, what gives you joy.

6th- what you spend most time thinking about. how you approach daily tasks and responsibilities. how you learned to be responsible.

7th- your reflection in other people. what you lack = you attract and vice versa. everything's vice versa, it's the house of relationships.

8th- what you speak about on your 7th therapy session (or 2nd depending on how open you are). deepest wounds and insecurities.

9th- your opinion on religion, philosophy, different cultures. what your purpose is. what is best for you to study in college.

10th- your public image and internet persona. what people who dont personally know you think you're like.

11th- what your role in a friend group is. how you act around friends. what brings you closer to people. what makes you feel a part of the community.

12th- how you act when you're intoxicated or sleepy. what you tend to dream about, or your sleeping pattern. how you speak to yourself in your head. (? debatable)
