Ok real quick promo for a zine. Transcender is a Genshin Impact zine with trans headcanons! Profits are being donated to Advocates for Trans Equality. I designed a keychain of Lyney and Lynette and a stretch goal design for an enamel pin!

emotional support caedo for me.

did more for this series. i have become deeply attached to kasati nuon

still doing fanart for the fic series Six Black Birds

then i got proven right again, i guess, when i woke up from major surgery at 3/10 pain. i thought i was /weak/ and had low pain tolerance for literally my entire adult life because my only real reference was periods and i just kept getting 'deal with it like everyone else, don't be dramatic 🙄'

when they actually got in there for surgery, i had multiple lesions on my peritoneal wall and colon, and scar tissue adhesion that glued my colon and intestines to my lower back muscles in at least two places. wild how i was right about my own pain for over a decade.

it took 11 years to get a basic ultrasound to rule out structural issues and fibroids for bleeding that made me anemic to the point of being unable to walk around my house in my preteens, for reference. i was sort of ok due to birth control, but when that stopped working i got very little help

the sheer contrast of the past 12 years of being told i'm being hysterical/weak/hypochondriac vs downplaying my own pain/symptoms to avoid being seen as 'dramatic' and immediately being called on it within 5 minutes of conversation was insane

after 12 years of getting brushed off and possibly straight up gaslit by medical professionals and learning to not trust them by default, it's weird to realize i'm kind of devastated that my surgeon who i've seen face to face 5 times total is leaving the practice near me

coming back to talk about feelins. also in case i didn't mention it here, i got surgery in march for endo lol

Thank you! I'll make sure to take a look at them. I've got a lot of downtime coming up, so I'm sure I'll find one to get into

thank you! media to watch would be great. I barely know where to begin tbh, so anything you have would be amazing

Two space marines, bioengineered super soldiers, stand next to each other. They are in yellow armor with heart-themed heraldry and icons. One is holding a human guard.

lamenters are friend s. lamenters good and loving. friend lamenter hold guard safe.

that's true.

I'm mostly going for this program because it's taught in english and has specific classes set up for learning the language close to fluency, which would otherwise be a major barrier for getting work in this country

i'm just not sure why people are so attached to this place. i know i won't survive if i don't leave. i'm not a strong or resilient person. especially in the area where i live, over 50% of the people voted for this. I can't trust anyone I haven't already met, and it's exhausting.

i'm trying to get into an english language masters program to have a structured portion of time to get settled, but i will go over there and rawdog it if i have to or if things absolutely implode here and i can no longer afford it even if i get in.

if you're a minority in america and have any route to get dual citizenship, would should start that process now. i'm almost there myself. if my own family hadn't fucked me over through HHR, i would actually be a dual citizen now and able to live somewhere with universal, affordable healthcare.

i keep trying to convince my brother to at least start his dual citizenship process but he seems against it. i understand wanting to stay and fight but sometimes the most important victory is staying alive. he and his wife are in even more danger than most from this administration.

my cost estimate for surgery is actually doable holy shit. i though it would hit the out of pocket max but it doesn't even come close

because regardless of the results of my upcoming masters application, i will be going back. good run while we had it but nah. i;m going back to the country with universal healthcare and public transit bye

ineed ot find that meme someone made that was like

my dad moving to the US in the 1980s to escape an authoritarian government: 👁️👁️

me moving back to his country in 2025 to escape the rise of christofascism and authoritarianism in the US: 👁️👁️

"What radicalized you?" Empathy, bro. Litteraly just wanting people to be treated like human beings.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance.

Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

eventually i'll post art. eventually i'll learn to ignore the fucking coup that's happening so i can actually function and do things but it won't be for a while

how is anyone managing right now? if you live in the us and aren't a fucking gullible idiot i'd like to know because i am on the verge of Loosing It for good
