Turtles and their outfits

song: jojo pose by apollo fresh

How did this get 5k notes

I can't believe I never posted this! my page(s) for @memory-of-family-zine I wanted to do something silly with the age alliance :] it was challenging trying to figure out the paneling for this but hopefully the struggle paid off

with 2+ years of hindsight (and almost 10 months of HRT), I want to thank this anon, because I think genuinely this played a significant role in helping me to start transitioning.

I've been so much happier since then, and especially since starting HRT. Yeah, there are new struggles and anxieties and problems to adapt to, but I'm also learning how to enjoy life and find myself and love myself, and it's definitely worth it.

Over the past year I've laughed and cried and been able to look at myself in the mirror and selfies and enjoy what I look like. I've felt more comfortable with my body, and worn outfits and accessories that I've been daydreaming about for over a decade. I've felt pretty, which was not something that I thought was possible.

If you're on the fence about transitioning, please know that it's enough to chase joy. If you think you'd be happier, that's enough. You don't have to have known since you were a toddler. You don't have to be so depressed that you can't bear another day as your AGAB. You don't have to "earn" or "deserve" to transition. It's enough to want it.

many people sharing the writing post today... hard to keep up with..... know my universal advice:

Poverty sucks bc what do you mean Lola just got 400 bucks but bc of hotel feels and no apartment half of it's gonna be gone. And she has to pay for her English proficiency test ($200 USD) AND find an apartment. But she can't do all this with the same 400 dollars, especially not since we don't know when an apartment is going to become available or even where.

Thank you to all the people who've donated so far. You're doing the real work of making sure this woman lives to see another day. She still needs help though, and she still has the goal of getting to Germany for safety and so she can finally actually thrive.

I hope I'm not asking too much by asking for help to get her a new laptop so that she can get a new job online. A new laptop would run her about 300-500 dollars in Nigeria, depending on the brand. Is there a way we can get allies to finance this quickly so that she can get back to work and make money for herself?

No new donations yet ‼️‼️

Lola also needs $360 to pay off late hotel fees and afford the next two or three days!! Are there any allies who can help a trans woman stay off the streets?

This is how we face the cold and rain, and I don't know if our tent will withstand this severe storm. This is all we have now. This is our life. Please, my friends, we want to get our lives in order. We want to live like everyone else. I am very sad for my children, whose basic needs I cannot provide. Please, my friends, don't abandon us. Share our story and donate to us. Please.

Help A Disabled Black Trans couple survive the winter months?

(id in alt text; please stop tagging my dono posts as undescribed when i literally add an image description in alt text every time 😅)

back with a fresh post since its a new month; my wife and i are two visibly disabled and visibly trans folks living in TX that are unable to find or maintain consistent work or afford any of our living expenses. we also need help affording things like food and litter for our kitten Bijou (see above). my pay links are here, my wife's are here, and we also have a few shared support links and a registry.

please consider reblogging (without tags unless for accessibility reasons if possible!!) and donating what you can so my family and i can survive.

we still need help with rent 😥 i am COMPLETELY OUT of Bijou's kibble, and am running scarily low on food to eat. $70 would cover a bag of kibble, some cat litter (which we desperately need) and some grocery staples we cant reliably get elsewhere. i have eaten a meal twice in the past several days and we cannot afford to keep dipping into rent funds so we can eat 😮‍💨

my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
