help a black trans girl survive w/o help from her bullshit dad
hi im sugar and i made a post prior to this about my situation. Long story short, my dad (a black man) finally had his long-awaited mixed baby casey (here she is my lil sis đ)
and has decided that he longer wants to talk to, support or acknowledge me (his fully black, dark skinned, trans daughter) and refuses to help me and my mother pay for college. and ive always noticed that he was off about me, that he was kinda distant and deeply and vocally dissatisfied w me as a whole but who woulda thought huh lmao.
heres what he said to me (i blurred out the deadnaming and misgendering bc i hear it enough from him on the rare occasions i have to talk to him):
heres what he said to my mother about me and what my mom said to him:
and yes my mom saying we dont need help is so freaking untrue. weâre poor and my dad is the one making bank and im so freaking worried that i may have to drop out of school but if i do im worried i might never go back and honestly waking up these days is really really fucking hard lol.
my dad is keeping my sister from me, left me n my mother to struggle w paying for school and on top of that hes no longer going half for my hormones w my mom so really everything is effed lmaooo!
iâve raised about 650 on tumblr with the help of everyone that that helped finish covering my room and meal plan and the bill is halfway paid.
heres what my bill looks like for this semester.
here what we paid and what we owe:
im trying to get a job on campus so i can help pay alongside my mom but my full time status may make it hard. at the very least i just wanna pay off this semester and if i have to drop out then ig i will so ty for anything anyone can do to help.
if you can please pleasedonate or reblog or send me some nice messages bc at this point anything helps me stay grounded and hopeful
In the late 19th century, an inexperienced doctor performed his first surgery n a room full of people. Feeling the pressure, he felt the need to perform the amputation in the quickest time possible, and ended up amputating his patientâs arm in the space of around 25 seconds. In the process of this, he accidentally amputated his assistantâs fingers too. Both patient and assistant died of sepsis, and a spectator died from shock, making it the only operation ever with a 300% mortality rate.
how badlyâŚcan one person fuck upâŚ.
THIS IS MY BOY!! THIS IS MY BOY ROBERT LISTON!! LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HIM!!
For starters, he practiced in a time before anesthesia was invented, when performing surgeries and amputations quickly were key to reducing a patientsâ pain and upping their chance of survival. He was known as the âfastest knife on West Endâ and could allegedly take a leg off in 2 ½ minutes. Some say he could amputate a limb in 30 seconds flat if he had to, he was exactly the man you wanted to call in case of emergency like this, because he could get you done and stitched nice and fast, before you bled out or died from shock.
On top of that, he was a theater surgeon, and I mean, he brought the THEATER to it. This man would scream for the students watching him to time him, and when he had to free his hands, shove his BLOODY FUCKING KNIFE between his teeth. Also, the 300% mortality rate wasnât because he was inexperienced- it was because he was WAY TOO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT CUTTING ARMS OFF, swinging his knife around for the effect. This was not the only time his enthusiasm got the better of him on the table, once, he amputated a manâs leg and accidentally took off his testicles in the same go.
He was, however, the first man to perform surgery with the use of anesthesia, and was a strong proponent of its use. Heâs also famous for having UNSHAKABLE morals, he once got punched out a surgeon IN FRONT OF HIS WHOLE CLASS for displaying a womanâs corpse in a âvoyeuristicâ manner, then straight-up took the body and had her decently buried (The woman was a murder victim and the surgeon he punched may have been complicit in the whole thing as well.).
Liston is such a coolio figure in early medical history he fight he heal he knock people the fuck out.
i told him that his joke got 90 thousand notes on the internet and he was like âwow!! 90 thousand people think im funnyâ (he always makes bad jokes in class and no one laughs) and he was smiling really big it was so cute
Just saw this on Twitter. An awesome idea for players who are stuck and for DMs to foster more involvement from your party in the world. @probablynpcrpgideas
Heads up, as this has become crazy popular; Iâve now included a link to the original post on twitter on the word âthisâ, go send him some love.
I wrote him yesterday how popular this is and he got really happy
in the wake of another white cis gay movie id just like to remind yall to watch and support the following lgbt+ movies! these all feature at least one leading cast member of colour, so please please show your support if youâre able to!
 moonlight (about the life of a black gay man in miami, following his journey and transformation over time) {2016}

paris is burning (about drag balls in 80s NY, specifically focusing on black and latinx drag performers and intersectional lgbt+ folks) {1990}
hey i keep seeing white people liking this and not reblogging it..Iâm not tryna make anyone reblog this but that warm white saviour feeling inside is undeserved if its coming purely from liking this post
I find casting a trans woman as frank n furter but honestly all of these are good picks
