anyway if you’d be willing to help a mentally ill/disabled trans woman get some food, clothes, and other necessities you can paypal tryst@entangled.us or use https://cash.me/$Trysta
we try not to ask for much these days but it’s also our birthday on the 1st so if you’re feeling generous there’s that too
thank you so much for your consideration ❤
thanks for any donations and reblogs so far, it’s hugely appreciated!
we just found out that we may not be getting any cash benefits next month, and this month has been pretty rough as it is; it’s put us a bit behind
we’ve gotten a couple donations so far and it’s already helped a lot, but we could really use as much as possible to help us get through the next month if we can’t get our cash benefits back in time

They’re not going to rat you out. They’re going to adjust your anesthesia dosage so you don’t WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY.
Some anesthesiologists will refuse to put you under if you’ve smoked cannabis within the past 24 hours – and let’s be clear, this is NOT because they’re morally against it – it’s because THC and anesthetic react in unpredictable ways and waking up in the middle of surgery is slightly less of a concern than SLIPPING INTO A COMA OR DYING.
So there’s that.
Yes, this too. Should have included this. It just wasn’t on my mind when I made the original post because my mind was full of NOPE NOPE NOPE after, you guessed it, one of my patients woke up in the middle of her surgery because she didn’t tell her anesthesia team she used marijuana.
Being abused can seriously affect your ability to distinguish between “not obviously pleased” and “obviously displeased” because abusers go from Neutral to Hostile for absolutely no discernible reason, and eventually you start worrying that everyone is going to be like that and you start feeling this urge to make absolutely sure that the people you actually care about aren’t mad or upset, because to you, “there’s no evidence that they’re not angry” is the same as “there’s evidence that they are angry”
Let’s destroy the idea that any human can be truly independent in the 21st century (and that not being able to live “independently” is shameful).
Living separately from your parents, doing your own house chores, driving a car, earning enough to completely sustain yourself… none of these things make you truly independent.
Because guess who built your house? Not you. Who produced food, clothes, furniture and almost everything you own? Not you. Who provides water, electricity, heat and Internet to your house? Not you. Who made your car and taught you to drive? Not you.
And even if you did some of these things on your own, I doubt you do everything by yourself. Unless you live in the forest and feed off the land, you are not truly independent. You depend on the human society to function and THAT’S OKAY.
We depend on each other and we have always depended on each other. In ancient times humans lived in big groups and helped each other survive. Now we are even better at helping each other and that’s great! Actually it would be awesome if we could go back to living in big families or at least big friend groups.
So stop shaming disabled people for having needs that abled people don’t have. Society sees the needs of abled people as reasonable and acceptable, and the needs of disabled people as unnecessary and “special”. But it’s nonsense.
Not being able to live on your own is not bad. Needing help with house chores is not bad. Not being able to drive a car is not bad. Living on disability pays is not bad. Needing constant help and support to function is not bad. It’s not immature, pathetic or tragic – it’s a normal part of human experience.
Please respect the needs of disabled people.
Having such a hard time with this lately, because I’ve been needing so much help.
Even if you DO live off the land, you still are dependent on other human beings. You were taught, weren’t you? Someone raised you. None of us could be what we are without help from others.
That doesn’t much stop me from feeling shitty about being as non-functional as I am, the damage to me has been done and I’ll always feel crappy about being “broken”, but maybe stuff like this will help other people be less judgmental of people like me who really can’t get along on their own. And maybe people like me can stop feeling broken and worthless.
