‼️please help me get a wheelchair‼️
hello, my name is leo, or more commonly known as ‘lav’ on here.
i’ve been dealing with debilitating chronic pain for over 10 years and i really need a wheelchair. i haven’t gotten much help from my healthcare system, being fat and afab has really fucked me over while trying to seek medical attention..
i am still fighting to completely figure out what’s wrong with me, but for now i know that i have several bulging discs in my lower back, as well as scoliosis. (as well as medically recognised POTS).
my pain is getting worse and worse, and i barely leave my home since walking and being upright in general hurts so much. a wheelchair would improve my life immensely, both physically and mentally.
i am currently on disability benefits, which pretty much is the lowest income group in sweden, and saving up for a wheelchair myself would take a very long time.. i will of course also be saving up as much as i can and putting into an account meant for wheelchair funds.
so i’m asking you to donate if you want to and if you are financially able to, and if not, please reblog this.
i have found a good chair that is also accessible to a fat person, and i need 7111 SEK (around 650$) to cover the cost of the chair & the shipping. i have started a gofundme that i’ll be sharing in this post, and i welcome all help, donating just a little helps, and reblogging and sharing the gofundme in general helps immensely too.
thank you so much for reading💜
The positives of ‘putting yourself out there’ are worth it. Having a great conversation with a stranger will be worth the awkwardness of starting that exact conversation. Joining a small community of people you will see regularly is worth having to get through a scary first day. Getting your dream job is worth the scariness of chasing it. Don’t pick and choose experiences based on the level of ease now, but choose them based on how you want to come out of them.
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
Reblogging because it’s a damn potato and I want to encourage people to assume potatoes are magical.
w-what if potato is actually lucky
My deportation is on June 25th also I am trans
For several years, I've been living in a small eastern european country on the grounds of transphobic legislation in my passport country. During this time, it's been illegal for me to work, and I've been reliant on donations from tumblrinas, because I was claiming an obscure clause in a human rights treaty.
This has failed, and now I have to leave.
The climate for immigration generally is much better now than it was in 2020, so I just need money to get to safety and then I can get on a path to citizenship that doesn't involve obscure clauses in human rights treaties or the UN or NGOs or anything.
I'm going to be in a weird in-betweeny travel phase for the next month or so while the legal and bureaucratic dust settles and I really really really really need money to ensure my and my cats' safety during this period.
Last post was successful in meeting its arbitrary goal. Cats vaccinated, first plane ticket purchased, temporary lodgings basically covered, but deportation and resettlement is a lot more expensive than that, so we need to reach this one too.
This is still a code red emergency, and the absolute worst-off financially that I ever plan to be again.
I can't say I'm retiring from fundraising on tumblr, but I can say that this is the most desperate situation I'm going to face any time soon.

next time you stand in a public place think about the fact that everyone around you have sobbed until they felt they would break at least once in their life, every single one has been nervous, scared. they’ve all felt small once, insecure too. they’ve all felt so alone they thought their chest would cave in on itself, wishing someone would see them and hug them. they’ve laughed until their stomach cramped too, they’ve all seen or felt a sunset, they’ve all loved something or someone, they all want to be loved too. everyone else is a lot more human than we tend to give them credit for
Your standards...
Your relationships...
Your life...
They are all a direct reflection of what you are willing to tolerate.
I can guarantee you that with 100% certainty.
If you tolerate a lower standard for yourself...
If you tolerate cutting corners when nobody is looking...
If you tolerate other people's bullshit...
If you tolerate toxic relationships...
If you tolerate eating shitty food...
If you tolerate skipping your workouts...
You are accepting a life that is mediocre at best.
Saying "Yes" to counter-productive bullshit is the exact same thing as saying "No" to success.
Until you start making excellence non-negotiable...
You will always struggle.
Yeah, it’s hard at first.
Yes, it’s painful.
Yes, people will not understand.
…but if you push through, raise your standards and quit tolerating the life you have been living.
Things will change for you.
Fast.
In ways that are better than you have ever imagined.

We need everyone's help right now to protect the rainforest and Indigenous People
The Amazon Rainforest is under a massive threat. I know you've heard this a million times, but this is different. There is a piece of legislation that will decimate the rights of Indigenous people of Brazil, who have been protecting the rainforest. It's unfathomably bad. It has majority support. And they're voting tomorrow. As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
The thing you can do—and I know this sounds overly simple—is sign this petition—and tell your friends to do the same: SIGN HERE.
As reported here, the Bill allows "the Brazilian government to find energy resources, set up military bases, develop strategic roads, and implement commercial agriculture on protected Indigenous tribal lands, without any prior discussion with the affected peoples."
Again, this bill has majority support. You may be wondering, why will a petition signed by people who don't live in Brazil make any difference? Because it will give those opposing it political air cover. It will show the world is with them.
But we need a LOT of signatures.
Please do this simple act and spread the word.
“Many abused children cling to the hope that growing up will bring escape and freedom. But the personality formed in the environment of coercive control is not well adapted to adult life. The survivor is left with fundamental problems in basic trust, autonomy, and initiative. She approaches the task of early adulthood――establishing independence and intimacy――burdened by major impairments in self-care, in cognition and in memory, in identity, and in the capacity to form stable relationships. She is still a prisoner of her childhood; attempting to create a new life, she reencounters the trauma.”

HELP NEEDED - PLEASE HELP/RB
hey! i'm frog, a queer transfeminine writer. you may know me from my ludicrous posts on this and other websites.
i'm looking to move out of my frankly barely-inhabitable current house, and i've managed to secure a new place. the good news is: that part's nailed down, i have a new place and i can pay rent on it. BUT i need to make sure my housemates don't get evicted before i move house, and that's going to mean covering part of rent for the month and potentially renting lawn care equipment and dump moving assistance and so on. i know it's a lot, but i'm looking to raise about $1000. if you all can help me, it'd mean the world to me!! cashapp $asimplefrog ko-fi (paypal redirect) frogk
thank you!!!
sitting at about $900, thank you all so much!! i'm still just a touch shy of covering rent on both places for the month, and i really really do not want to get my former housemates in any hot water, they're struggling queers too. if i could get another hundred raised that'd be stellar
You're the heroine of your own story. Take charge of the narrative.
If you don't like what you hear, change the playlist.
If you don't like what you're watching, change the channel or turn it off altogether.
If the food you eat doesn't energize you, change your diet.
If you're not inspired by the people around you, change your environment and upgrade your circle.
If your current business strategies are showing no return on investment, pivot and shift the strategy.
Change, change, change.
Don't settle. The moment you feel stuck, uninspired, unhappy or out of alignment, take initiative or improve your situation. Don't just go with the flow and accept whatever comes along. That's how you wake up 40 years down the line with regrets, wondering how life flew you by.
ok this is the first time ive ever had to do this but I really need the help right now. i know its going to be hard to get the full amount in the time that I have but any help would benefit me so greatly. i am putting the explanation under the cut as it is very long but TLDR:
I got into the film school of my dreams on a scholarship, but student finance will not pay for the full course fee because my university is independent, (£20k, SF can only pay £14.4k) so I have to pay the remaining fee (£5.6k) by June 1st. I cannot graduate if I don't pay this fee and I am under 2 months away from graduating. all evidence and explanation is under the cut.
thank you to anyone in advance.
STOP. moment of gratitude for those precious times of breathing from your nostrils when you don't have a stuffy nose
your body deserves respect in its current form, whatever that form is. it deserves love and care and softness and food and fresh air and comfortable clothing, now. not once you’ve lost 10 pounds. not once you’ve cleared your skin. not once you’ve attained whatever body goal you’ve convinced yourself will bring you body confidence and happiness. you deserve comfort, NOW.
unbothered. moisturized. happy. in his lane. focused. flourishing.
