i’ve a history of homelessness, and thus my referral was delayed for literal years and then my NHS surgeon refused to even speak to me and insisted on transferring my referral to somewhere with an 18 month waiting list.
i’m not too proud to beg: i’m already 32 and i can’t spend the next half-decade waiting on the NHS to benevolently grant me surgery — not to mention that i can’t afford travel to fucking Manchester with my disabilities or my tiny income from welfare benefits.
so my only real choice is to raise the money this way, as i’m estranged from family.
please, please donate; if 200 people donated £50 each, i’d make goal and then some. this is extremely important to me, and i’ve already got a consultation with a private surgeon coming up in early August: i’d love to have the money on hand when i go.
so! we’re up to around £2.6k raised, out of a projected £8.5k-£9k. donations have really really slowed down and tbh i’m at a loss as to how to promote the fundraiser more.
i have a consultation on August 21 — i’d really like to have most of the funds raised and/or saved up by then.
i’ll be honest, i’m a little desperate. i’ve been trying to get financing for this somehow, but i’m not eligible for any loans and i’m estranged from my family, so honestly … this fundraiser is really and truly my one chance.
(i have heard nothing about what’s happening with my NHS referral — it will almost certainly be 18+ months on the waiting list at the new hospital, and that’s the best case scenario)
MW veio para a América Latina pela Lionsgate+ e agora, depois de alguns meses, a Lionsgate+ anuncia que está indo embora daqui… E enquanto isso eu só quero saber quando e por onde IWTV será lançado. AMC se você fosse competente, quem você seria???
I wanna come back to this, because I think its emblematic to something common that I hate to see in fandom interpretations of characters. Seeing a new character with different interest to your own should be an opportunity to expand your world view. literal children will see a character who’s a firefighter or an astronaut and develop an interest in that.
but adults will see a literal punk musician, and rather than decide to explore what music and culture inspired this character, instead re-imagine him engaging with material they find familiar, and ultimately safe.
I don’t like… have any feelings towards this guy personally… but this is a trend I see in fandom, especially around characters of color from cultures the fans are not familiar with. there is a desperate need to decontextualize them.
there is this absolutely DESPERATE need among especially white fans to prove that characters of other races but ESPECIALLY black characters are Just Like Them For Real by just copy pasting their favorite personal characteristics (or often just straight up stereotypes, like that shoplifter miles headcanon that went around) onto these characters. God forbid having to learn about a culture or even a subculture unlike your own, right
