they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary
every time a young gay person quits smoking or makes the decision that they want to quit, the sun shines on us all with the promise of happiness and beauty.
i appreciate everybody thatās sharing the sentiment that itās good for anyone to quit smoking (it is) but i very specifically wanted to highlight and encourage LGBTQ youth because lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are about 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to smoke cigarettes than heterosexual people, and the statistics for transgender people are even higher than cisgender people. this is due to tobacco companies marketing heavily and aggressively to LGBTQ communities and exploiting the higher rates of mental health struggles prevalent in our communities.
i want and hope to see all my LGTBQ people live long, healthy, fulfilled lives despite how predatory and punishing this world can be. you should stay around as long as you can to make it a little better in your own way.
I wanna specifically shoutout trans men here because back in the day (I donāt know if itās still prevalent) there was quite a common rumour going around that smoking could make your voice deeper, which meant a huge upstick in young trans men taking up smoking.
So, if any trans men are being told about this, itās not true!! Smoking will not change your voice, at least not until youāre about forty years down the line and youāve already irreparably destroyed your lungs and throat and mouth and pretty much every other organ in your body. When you hear heavy smokers with deeper, scratchier voices it is literally because their vocal cords have been ruined. This is not a passive effect of smoking, it is a very very damaging one!
Itās simply not worth it! There will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Voice training will do a lot more for you than cigarettes will, I promise that the people urging you to start smoking as a voice training method do not have your best interests at heart!
(And you know what, this also goes for not eating due to the idea that starving yourself will decrease your chest size. Like with smoking, there will be no meaningful changes except terrible ones. Your body is worth so much more than that and there will always be healthier alternatives!)
I wanna see trans people thrive, and one day when things get better and youāre able to start your transition, youāll want a body that will last as long as possible so you can enjoy every little moment of your life. Please take care of yourself!!
Gif sets are SO important to me. Yes, please take this scene and break it up into 4 or 6 three second loops that I can study over and over to appreciate the small details of it
If you scroll past thisā¦ my mother will die š
I know that sounds harsh , but itās the truth Iām living Right Now š
I keep wondering how many more times Iāll have to ask before someone hears our cry for help. While youāre reading thisā¦ sheās lying in a hospital bed waitingā¦ strugglingā¦ fighting for her life.
The doctors told us the truth we were terrified to hear: If she doesnāt get this surgery immediately, we could lose herā¦ forever š
We only need $999. Thatās it. Not something impossible. that small amountā¦ is the difference between life and death š
$999 might not mean much to some peopleā¦ But to me, it means hearing my motherās voice again. It means seeing her smile. It means she gets another chance to live.
So let me ask you something honestly..
If this were your mother and her life depended on $999ā¦ would you close this post and keep scrolling? Or Would you tell yourself āsomeone else will helpāā?
Because thatās exactly what everyone is thinking right now. And thatās how people die. Not because they couldnāt be savedā¦ but because everyone assumed someone else would do it . Pleaseā¦ donāt be the person who saw this and did nothing.ššš
I am not asking for luxury or comfort. I am asking for the chance to keep my mother safe. I am asking you to help us before we lose her . If our story reaches your heart, please don't leave without doing something. Your kindness today could be the reason my mother receives her medication in timeš
Just $999ā¦ standing between her life and death. Donāt think someone else will helpā¦ because right now, no one has.š

šUrgent Appeal for My Father's Lifeš
I never imagined that I would have to write these words and beg for help to save my father's life.
My father suffered a severe head injury after a nearby bombardment. Since that day, his condition has been extremely critical, and sadly, it continues to deteriorate day after day. Doctors have stressed that he urgently needs surgery as soon as possible to prevent further complications and give him a chance to survive and recover.
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of many compassionate people, we have been able to collect part of the required amount. However, we still have $462 remaining, and we must raise it as quickly as possible before it is too late.
Every day that passes without the surgery puts my father in greater danger. Watching him suffer while being unable to help him is a pain beyond words. We are doing everything we can, but we cannot do this alone.
1am pleading with you from the bottom of my heart: if you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, your contribution could make a real difference and help save my father's life. If you cannot donate, please share this appeal with your friends and family. A single share may reach someone who can help.
Please do not leave us alone during this difficult time.
My father deserves a chance to live, and your support could be the reason he gets that chance.
Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.
