lol, didn't even realise! maybe this is weird but I find it a bit cute when I see, eg, people in football subreddits using inshallah/haram/other qur'anic language casually - I'm sure some of them are being casually islamophobic too, but I grew up talking that way, so it's nice to see it in the wild!
*inshallah but you've got the spirit 💜💜💜
we have one of those here as well (same reason) and I've heard some pretty shocking stories from my older clients in particular :(
anyway, my fault for once again making the mistake of trying to involve my mother in my life!
if I'm going to hell, I find it difficult to believe that it's for having surgery when there are so, so many other much more valid reasons to send me there. but also, I believe very deeply and devoutly in a loving and merciful god who would rather I learnt from my mistakes than suffered for them.
called my mum to tell her the good news about my upcoming surgery and instead of being happy for me, she started to cry because what if getting a gender-affirming hysterectomy is unislamic? (it isn't, as far as I know.) so that was a fun and enjoyable conversation for me 🙃
he heard you talking about him
People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.
this is already at $245! if I could get to $1000, that would be almost a fifth of the total covered and I'd be able to do the rest on credit even if I didn't manage to save anything else myself (and I've already saved a little bit, so that's not going to happen). thank you so much, friends 💜💜💜
already at $150 - thank you, friends! I'm not expecting to raise even half of the total, but the less I have to cover with loans/cashing in my super/lines of credit, the better.
yes! this is the only surgery I really, really want - having a uterus is my largest remaining source of dysphoria
🎉 I finally have a date for my gender-affirming surgery! 🎉 after waiting 4+ years, I can't wait to get this over with.
even with medicare + private health cover, I'm looking at ~$5.5k out of pocket. if you have a couple of bucks to spare, it would really help 💜
thank you! 💜 a lot of my other health issues seem to be exacerbated by my having a uterus as well, so I'm hopeful that this will solve/improve quite a few things at once.
I'm going to talk to my super fund about withdrawing money early to cover the surgery and to my bank about loan options, so I'll hopefully be all right either way, but the surgery is on 14 may so I need to get it sorted by then 😬

I'm thirty-six - how long is this phase meant to last, exactly?
he's just like me fr
as a kid, I used to wonder to myself how ordinary germans justified the atrocities of the nazis to themselves, but now I no longer have to wonder because social media provides new examples daily!
he literally says every deranged thought that crosses his mind out loud with zero prompting whatsoever and they're still like "hmmm, what could this mean..." like??? he just told you out loud what he means!!!
surely there's a bakery somewhere selling pork rolls for both 🫠
that feels like selling pork roast for eid
there's just something about it which is not exactly wholesome, as such, but appeals to the storyteller/love of playing pretend in me
this google doc was my introduction to the whole thing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
yeah, I read the big google doc someone put together and at the start I was like, well, sometimes people are just going through an extended tough time, that doesn't mean they're lying! and then I kept reading and...no, this is one middle-class girlie and her army of socks for sure
stripey pink and orange (which she allegedly did not even invent and completely plagiarised anyway)
"these multiple separate people are actually just one sad person and her sockpuppet army" is peak internet drama, imo. plus with sockpuppet army drama, you get all the other flavours as well: grifting, pseuicide, flame wars, the works! nothing else like it.
and she lives in brisbane! AUSTRALIA MENTIONED 🎉🎉🎉
the only time in the last few years that I've regretted no longer being on twitter was today, when I learnt that the alleged creator of the lesbian flag has been allegedly msscribing people for almost a decade
