Hello, everyone! I've gotten a medical prescription to buy testosterone, but unfortunately I haven't got the money! Specially not since the bank took half my savings for no reason :/ It'd be a huge help if you could even share. Thanks a lot!
Please guys I am a sick Please, what I have collected in my own campaigns, I put it in building the school, so please I feel sorry for this. I hope it's not a bad decision. Please donate to help me from here
Help ibrahim and this school project out!
.Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life
I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔
We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.
My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.
PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽 EVEN A SIMPLE REPOST AND COMMENTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Hello, I'm Sharif Al-Amoudi from Gaza. I'm married and have twins, Hussam and Ahmed, who are five months old. They were born after four atte

Ahmed is suffering greatly. His condition is worsening because I can't afford his surgery; I keep postponing it. Every post I ignore means an extra hour of pain. Please donate; your help could save his life.

Do we have a franz kafka diary entry for july 1st, i want to know what he thinks!!!
happy too tired July everyone
let's all have a fun time looking up new words when we encounter them to see what they mean before incorporating them into our vocabularies
It's about to be Juneteenth I hope non-Black people have a couple grand to give to every Black american from the south, and I'm not even close to joking.
juneteenth tomorrow! If you have ever laughed, chuckled, nodded in agreement with any of my posts, went 'ooh wow' at one of my playlists or moodboards, or if you've read any of my work and said, "damn, this Black southern icon can WRITE", you can go ahead and drop some money in my account. I'm currently in between checks, so any amount of help would be nice. But also search your soul and consider what evils non-Black people have done to Black people just this month alone, and try to match your donation to the amount of psychological damage done to the average Black southerner, thank ya!!

something something constant state of crisis but the basis is, if you want to help a chronically impoverished and chronically ill Black author survive another month, could you pretty please donate?
😵💫 I owe Kaiser another $95 + I have to help my sister with an overdraft thing, any little bit of help would be swell.
never kill yourself. you have to fill your mutuals dash with shit they don't care about forever, okay?
IMPORTANT!! $5,000 NEEDED THIS MONTH TO SAVE A BABY AND HIS FAMILY!!

Raneen, @a00h2, is my friend. She is trapped in Gaza, Palestine, with her family, with her sick baby. This is her message to you, in her own words:
I hope you are all well…
This is our last chance to survive… my final plea before it's too late.
The war on Gaza is threatening to resume, and I'm living every moment in indescribable fear. I have one last chance to escape with my husband and child to safety, but we can't afford the travel.
I beg you from the bottom of my heart… don't leave us to face this fate alone. We've already lost so much, and we can't bear any more loss and fear.
Every passing minute could mean losing our last chance to survive. Please, if you can donate or share my plea with others, it could be the reason we're saved.
Save us… please save us from this destruction, and save my child from a war he has no part in. 💔🙏
Please, I beg you, help my friend. Her 1-year-old baby is in a respirator; he has very dangerous lung cancer. There is no treatment in Gaza that can save him, and a return to open war will put him at even greater risk. She needs to pay $5,000 more in a month to get out of Gaza, so he can receive proper treatment. They are in great danger; every minute counts.
My friend doesn't have that money. She can't help her family and child alone. Please, I beg you, donate, whatever you can. $40, $20, $10, $5, whatever you can, it will all be useful. Thank you so much.
Her account is vetted by @90-ghost here, by @gazavetters (#576) , and by @bilal-salah0. This Chuffed fundraiser goes directly to her; for transparency, you can dm @a00h2 if you want to confirm it.
PLEASE, HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY FRIEND AND HER BABY!!

This pride month our daughter experienced her first transmisogyny
Our last post isn't moving
We had to spend many days in a hotel room after grandpa tried to force a haircut on our daughter because she is trans, she needs a new haircut to fix what he did to her.
On top of that weather has been shit, we keep getting blackouts and low voltage, our connection has been unreliable, we also have had our water supply cut alongside many other people in the neighborhood, the water company swears supply will be up shortly but we've been like this for over a week.
The blackouts spoiled our food and insulin, we need help getting insulin while we file for a refill with their healthcare.
We also want help being safe at home, grandpa is willing to go visit his siblings in back on his home town, don't see it as helping a transphobic man, more like helping a trans family feel safe for a while.
Our trans son has missed his last two weekly T shots, it is pride month, he shouldn't be depressed and spiraling due to dysphoria, please, help him.
And the mold is coming back full force due to the constant rains and humidity.
My partner is recovering from an ankle injury after his dad pulled his cane from him during an argument and my mother in law's sciatica and disc pain has been horrible, she needs to go to her doctor.
Im ashamed to say we're still unemployed, we do have a new student but our connection has been so unreliable i can't be sure to give a proper class if this continues.
Please consider helping us, maybe check the stuff we need on throne like some phones or the Ensure suplements, or the cart so we can carry water easier.
And my healthcare renewal notice came in, I need $138 to keep my healthcare please 🙇
Really, anything helps please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
$100/$800

Please at the very least help us reblog?
UPDATE JUNE 27TH
We've been 2 days in a motel, my father-in-law snapped again, he smashed some dishes. I got out with my kids for our safety.
We got enough for rent and other things but im regrettably using most of it to stay at the motel until my partner ends the arrangements so his dad visits his family 3 states away.
Im keeping this post up because we may need help affording transportation so we can be finally safe and back home and rent since living in a motel/hotel is more expensive than at home.
Someone got us the phones from our throne, thank you so much, i asked for a delayed delivery, hopefully things will be calmer so we can go back home.
Thank you
Anything helps!
still staying at the motel, trying to arrange how to go back home, hopefully we will be safe from grandpa's attacks, hopefully he is calm
we will probably need help paying for transportation for my partner and his parents, he will take them to his family back at his hometown so we can have a couple of weeks to calm down and be safe
We don't have wifi at the room of this motel, it's actually kind of risky to go out with the laptop to look for a place with wifi and still I also have to buy something so I can use their wifi, we've got nothing today.
Please, anything helps!!!
i love the part of making art where you feel like you need to go missing
a funny thing about having conversations with people within institutions (academic in this case but also others) about gatekeeping, is that you end up having a conversation over and over in which you're like, "hey this alligator spike pit moat you have erected around your institution is keeping a lot of people out," and they're like, "well *I* navigated the alligator spike pit moat just fine," and you're like, "right. by dint of us having this conversation, you within the institution and me without, it is understood that you navigated the alligator spike pit moat. due to that being an inherent requirement of entering the institution," and they're like, "I don't think you understand the prestigious history of our alligator spike pit moat," and you're like, "is there a reason why there needs to be an alligator spike pit moat encircling the concept of higher education?" and they're like, "look, the alligator spike pit moat isn't for everyone. some people just aren't cut out for the alligator spike pit moat :)" and you're like, "right, yeah, like disabled people and people coming from poverty or unstable home environments or underserved communities or people dealing with difficult to navigate life events like pregnancy or abuse or prison or addiction or the death of a loved one, for example" and they're like, "how dare you imply that we are keeping those people out on purpose. it's their own problem if they can't wrestle the alligators and avoid the spikes while also disabled and/or poor and/or pregnant etc" and you're like, "well that seems evil," and they're like, "it sounds like maybe you're just bitter about the alligator spike pit moat because of your totally random individual experience with ONE bad alligator spike pit moat. have you considered therapy?" and you're like, "did you know that there's some patterns here in terms of how y'all are handling this stuff?" and they're like, "actually yes. we even have a department of alligator spike pit studies :)" and you're like, "that's great, how do I get access to and participate in those conversations?" and they're like, "well firstly you must cross the alligator spike pit moat"
if you can document that you have a medical condition that might make it challenging for you to navigate the alligator spike pit moat, they'll give you an extra 20 minutes to complete your navigation of the alligator spike pit moat
IMPORTANT: any injuries incurred as a result of navigating the alligator spike pit moat will be the sole responsibility of the injured parties. once you leave, the people who made you navigate the alligator spike pit moat and the institution that installed the alligator spike pit moat will never contact you again. except sometimes to ask you for more money.
We need desperately to start celebrating the overlap of identity instead of hyper-scrutinizing whether or not someone overlaps fully.
Marsha P. Johnson never called herself a trans woman--she called herself a drag queen, or a transvestite--yet we recognize the impact she had as part of trans history. Of trans women's history. There is so much effort to re-imagine her influence as being the one who "threw the first brick" at Stonewall and less effort to remember her as one of the co-founders of STAR, an org dedicated to the protection of sex working transvestites. (Which took influence from both queer orgs and revolutionary orgs like the Black Panthers). Whether it's a lack of terminology or her transness was not under such a narrow definition (the P. in her name stands for "pay it no mind" because when people asked if she was a man or woman she told them to mind their business, and said "I think of myself as me.")--she is part of trans history because drag history, transvestite history, female impersonator history, gnc history is trans history whether the participants would consider themselves trans women or not. It's transfeminine history.
Stormé DeLarverie, the person whose violent arrest sparked the Stonewall uprising, is described as a drag king, and as such, every publication--including queer coverage of her involvement--lump her in with cis women's history and never also transmasculine, despite the fact that while she didn't identify as anything to those who knew her, she preferred to be assumed to be a Black man. That's transmasculine history. That's lesbian history. These two histories are not mutually exclusive, yet we act like they are.
Leslie Feinberg described hirself as a trans woman--zie was trans and a woman. Queer coverage tries to decide whether that makes Feinberg a cis woman or a trans man. Neither. Leslie has influenced transmasculine history and transfeminine history, and has been part of women's history with hir feminism. Leslie was a pivotal voice in trans movements, and focused much of hir work on the overlap with "female" identity. Leslie has arguably moved the needle more for trans women than trans men due to hir focus on women, but those are not separate categories--victory for trans people of any type is a win for us all. Transmasculine history is not wholly separate from "women's" history.
Emi Koyama is responsible for popularizing the word "transfeminist" and was (and still is) a deeply influential voice in the trans and transfeminist movements. Emi is also intersex, and her identity has been used to discredit her status as a "real" trans woman. Her influence is in intersex history and trans history and women's history. These communities are not non-overlapping--Emi occupies all three!
Kate Bornstein has been one of the most influential trans theorists since the 90s, yet her work has been largely erased as time goes on. Her focus on nonbinary identity and attempts to break us out of a binary seems to be the cause of the strife. A writer, speaker, poet, whose work focuses on the overlap of many trans identities and the empowerment of the individual to find the language that suits them ought to be the single most talked-about style of transfeminism...and it isn't. Her name is fading from people's reading lists.
Riki Anne Wilchins created one of the most influential groups fighting against the exclusion of trans people from pride--and other queer events--alongside Denise Norris: Transexual Menace. She created the term genderqueer. She has written countless influential pieces about trans life and those of us who exist even in the margins of trans identity--and she wrote often about the overlap with nonconforming cis people, whether they later come out or not. She even founded GenderPAC.
Nonbinary people, intersex people, gnc people, genderweird--those who never had the language and those who didn't use it for whatever reason--are part of TRANS history. We do no one any favors to assign labels to people who didn't use them to legitimize their already-legitimate existence in our minds as part of the movement. And we do no favors to narrow our eyes and block the door until the folks who bled, cried, fought, and died for us--the trans community--call themselves what we prefer to hear.
The murder of Brandon Teena galvanized countless trans women. Trans men were some of the first to issue fundraisers for Miss Major when she first fell ill. There are so many trans people who do not see separate niche groups but recognize the collective under this big umbrella of transness--we desperately need for those groups to not be in the minority. Trans is a collective, not a club.
And what does trans men? Anyone who doesn't fit the cis narrative of gender.
Quotes from trans folks about what transgender means to them:
If anything bad happens to me or I lose contact with you, please remember that I begged you to donate, even a small amount, or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word or a small donation, and ignores me.
I write these words with tears in my eyes, watching my nephew suffer so much, unable to get up. He has been in excruciating pain and has had repeated fainting spells over the past week due to severe anemia. I cannot afford all the medications he needs because of their high prices. All I wish is that he doesn't faint again, so I implore you to support me and help me buy his medications as soon as possible. Please donate.
Worse still, my nephew lost his father in this genocide, and I, his uncle, am their sole provider. His condition is deteriorating daily, and he desperately needs urgent surgery before his pain worsens. The pain is constant, even at night; he can't sleep, and every moment feels like endless agony.
I stand helpless before this heartbreaking scene. I don't have enough money to cover the costs of the operation or even to provide the medication that would alleviate his excruciating pain. My sense of helplessness is just as painful as his illness itself, perhaps even more so.
I need your help to alleviate my nephew's suffering and save him as soon as possible. Please, I don't want anything bad to happen to him; I've already lost my mother, my older brother, my home, and my friends. Please help me raise the necessary funds for my nephew's medication and surgery as quickly as possible. Support me, donate.

Guys, we still need €550 for the surgery. The Tumblr account I was using to collect donations has been banned—I don't know why. Please don't let me down; please donate. The surgery was supposed to take place tomorrow. Please, please donate. 💔😭
In this scorching summer, our tent has become an unbearable place to live. The suffocating heat fills it throughout the day, leaving us with no shade to protect us and no breeze to bring relief. When night falls, another struggle begins as rats and insects spread throughout the tent, stealing our children's sleep and filling their hearts with fear. Every day, we endure the relentless summer heat and the dangers of these harsh conditions. All we hope for is a safe shelter that preserves our dignity and gives our children the chance to live in safety.
