Im happy to live in a time where angel maxine and other trans people are advocating publicly In africa but id be lying if i said that I wasn’t also very on edge about how much being public puts them at risk. The bravery it takes to be open and also knowing that their inboxes become confession booths

Dear Friends,
I am deeply grateful for the love and generosity you’ve shown me so far on this journey. It’s not just about the donations, it’s about the belief you’ve had in me and my healing process, and that means the world.
Thanks to your support, I’ve been able to cover:
• MRI scans and monthly tests to monitor the progression of my condition.
• Physiotherapy and therapeutic massages, which provided temporary relief from the intense pain and kept me going.
• A variety of pain management strategies, recommended by my doctors, who tried to delay surgery as I was considered quite young for such a major procedure.
Over the years, I’ve managed the pain with prescribed medications, including painkillers, alongside these therapies. However, the excessive intake of painkillers has now started to take a toll on my body, recent lab results show that my kidney and liver parameters have been affected, making this surgery no longer optional but an urgent necessity.
The surgery scheduled for January 30th, is critical not only to relieve my pain but also to protect my overall health and allow me to regain my total mobility. This will mean the world to me, as I will finally be able to walk, dance, and live a life free of constant physical limitations.
I am reaching out to you again for support. I need your help to cover the remaining surgery costs, post-operative care, and rehabilitation. Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to a life where I can move freely and without pain.
If you’ve already donated, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me get this far. Please consider sharing my story with your networks to help me reach this goal. Your kindness and compassion mean everything to me, and I can’t wait to come back stronger, ready to advocate, perform, and inspire in even greater ways.
With love, gratitude, and hope,
Angel Maxine”
And according to her instagram she did have the surgery on that date. She hasn’t given an update on generally recovery yet, most of her focus is on #KilltheBill rn i think

When you are unemployed, mysterious voices will tell you to “become a youtuber” but you must remind yourself that it’s probably the amulet talking. The amulet you found last week, near the park. It has given you good advice so far, but there is always a line that you shouldn’t cross.

Hi, you may remember me from this hit tweet in 2021: “Palestinians are demanding liberation, not donations.”
Palestinians are still demanding liberation, not just a ‘humanitarian crisis’ response.
AND
We whose taxes pay for bombs are all responsible to give liberatory amounts to keep as many people in Gaza alive as possible.
I feel responsible for my past & recent statements encouraging those of us not being bombed to focus only on direct action to stop genocide & not on making donations.
I still discourage donations to nonprofits/NGOs, but we who resist genocide should spend to keep people alive.
We can do both:
Refuse & resist genocide by getting in the way!!
AND
Give wildly & call on everyone we know to give wildly to keep as many Palestinians alive as we can !!
Until liberation, this is also our serious responsibility. It is our obligation as funders of genocide. ☁️
•••
We who have funded genocide– whose countries, employers, schools, universities, cultural & religious institutions, favorite artists & performers have funded or profited from genocide:
We owe repair to Palestinians, especially in Gaza.
We owe it right now, yesterday & tomorrow.
We owe immediate and enduring repair for genocide done in our name and with our money, with our labor.
Such obligations surely terrify many, because to be responsible for Palestinian genocide now calls us to be responsible for many genocides, in this settler colony & elsewhere.
It is better to embrace these unfathomable & life-giving debts than to resign ourselves to continued deathmaking & abandonment.
May we all be caught up & held in the care & clarity of how much repair & reparation is needed to Teach Life. May we feel these duties as deep purpose.
I have more to say, but needed to say this. Have been needing to say this.
Am responsible & take responsibility & accept responsibility to be clear about this.

femmeharlequin-deactivated20240:
A woman whose epilepsy was greatly improved by an experimental brain implant was devastated when, just two years after getting it, she was forced to have it removed due to the company that made it going bankrupt.
Specifically, because she couldn’t afford to buy the implant from the company. They basically took her implant back to recoup their losses. This is what happens when you privatize healthcare and health research. The group providing her with this implant should not have been able to go bankrupt in the first place, let alone repossess her implant to pay off their debts.
This is what disabled people mean when we say that cyberpunk horror is just a reality for us. This woman was literally forced to undergo a surgery because she couldn’t pay to keep the implant already inside her brain. How long till companies start repossessing pacemakers and transplants?

Victorian-Inspired Embroidered Puzzle Purse, 2023 (ink and cotton and silk embroidery on kona cotton)
The puzzle purse is a form of itogami, the origami of folded purses. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the puzzle purse became a popular form for love notes and Valentines because they could hold little trinkets (rings, miniatures, locks of hair) and did not require an envelope to seal. This one is reimagined in cloth: the embroidery is permanent, but the message can be ironed away and rewritten. A love that lasts because it can be changed and be made new.
Can you believe I’m having to make this meme even after successfully finishing up taxes and applying to job
