So I just got some really really bad news from the vet.

Tazz has a tumor in his throat, it’s pushing on his airway and arteries. Tazz is having trouble breathing and he needs surgery.

But I can’t afford it.

I know everyone is fucked for money right now but I would appreciate anything that anyone could send to me. I’ve had Tazz since he was 8months old. He’s fifteen now. I was ten when I got him. I don’t wanna lose my boy. I’ve been crying ever since we got the news.

Here’s all of his vet costs. They don’t accept payments.

Please if anyone is able to donate to me I’m desperate. I’ll do anything to be able to make the money. My PayPal is right here. Please if you can’t donate reblog this. Because there’s a link in my post, it won’t show up in any tags on tumblr and I really need it to reach as many people as it can.

He’s such a good boy, please help me save his life.

0/5000$

We’re up to 430/5000$

Thank you so much to all who’ve donated, I literally can not express how much this means to me.

555/5000$

I’ve gotten 800$/5000$ so far. You all are incredible thank you so much for this

You’re saving his life <3

We’ve got 905/5000$, we’re getting close to 1000. If I can just get to 2500$ then I think we’ll be okay. Please keep reblogging this, it helps me so much.

We’re at 930/5000. Donations are starting to slow down, pretty please keep reblogging this. His surgery is Friday the 8th and I have to have that 4600$ deposit to get him in and the rest to take him home. If I can just get 2500$ from donations I think I can borrow the rest from my family. Please keep reblogging, even if you can’t donate.

Currently at 1045/5000$

Someone also asked to see a pic of the tumor. Which is kind of difficult since it’s inside his throat and only sticks out a little on one side, but I did my best:

His lymph nodes are fine, and only showed a minor infection that we’ve already fixed with antibiotics. The vet was hoping that the antibiotics would shrink the mass, but that was before we knew it was a tumor. After the infection was dealt with, our vet took cells from the mass to look at under a microscope, and that’s when we found the cancer cells. That vet sent us to a specialist who agreed we need to remove it right away.

So here we are. It’s growing rapidly. It popped up as a tiny little grape less than a month ago and it’s already bigger than a half dollar coin.


Every cent I get in donations is going toward his surgery on the 8th. I’ve had him for 15 years and I’m determined to keep him healthy and happy through the last years of his life. Every donation means the world to me.

1295/5000 is what we have as of 9:33am on January 3rd. Tazz’s surgery is on January 8th. Please keep reblogging!

Remembering today all the beautiful transgender people we’ve lost to transphobic violence. In the United States, we’ve lost 53 this year alone. Significantly more internationally and many more who have not been identified. Despite all the progress we’ve made, transphobic violence is everywhere. Selena Reyez-Hernandez, a Chicago trans woman, was murdered 30 minutes from where I live. 

Preventing transgender violence is not an abstract concept. It’s done with concrete steps: providing safe, affordable housing, access to jobs, trans-affirming healthcare, calling out transphobia/transmisogyny in media and politics, calling out toxic masculinity, decriminalization of sex work and ending money bail. 

Push for change with your politics. Push for change within your social circle. Push for change within your community and, if you are able to, push for change with your wallet. Support:

  1. Many teachers on this platform would benefit from this info.
  2. Many nonteachers need to understand that this will be what their teachers’/teacher friends’ lives consist of for the next year.

Sharing the for fellow retail workers as well since stores are allowing more and more people in.

dash stretch warning and medical talk ahead!!!


hey so! milo here! broke chronically AND mentally ill trans dude y’all know and possibly tolerate here! i really. really hate to do this and heavily went back and forth on it but the past month has been hell for me medically. our insurance went bust like a month before all this bc we couldn’t afford it due to covid. i had to do a trip to urgent care a few weeks ago, they assessed that i had a UTI, put me on meds, and i.. got infinitely worse. vomiting multiple times a day and a fever of over 101. to the point that my mother had to take me to the ER. they admitted me for several days bc the infection had spread to my kidneys and i was septic.

it was hell!! i have a lot of trauma wrt medical stuff (i was in the hospital for a month when i was six bc i’d contracted encephalitis/meningitis and it was. not a good time) and i was by myself (understandably with everything going on with the virus), and i was already super dazed and out of it and afraid but that didn’t help. at all.

they did manage to mostly clear everything up! i was on a lot of fluids and rosephin. they sent me home with about a week’s worth of antibiotics. i was supposed to follow up with a doctor in a week, as is standard procedure.

my stomach HATED me for that week. still does! i was having multiple issues that made it difficult to do anything besides, for lack of better, cleaner terms, either be in bed or in the bathroom. i got severely dehydrated. i started having pains again. not the same area, but still. massive amount of pain. my fever came back.

SO we went back to urgent care…. where literally all they did was take my vitals then call an ambulance bc my heart rate was over 160 and my blood pressure was super low and i genuinely was about to pass out. ($100 for that 15 min of waiting in the waiting room + 10 min of being in a room laying down bc i felt like i was gonna die, btw, but lol).

ambulance rides in the us are notoriously expensive, esp for poor fucks like me who don’t have insurance. but at the time i didn’t have a choice bc there was a chance of me going septic again and i wasn’t about to uh. die.

it was a deeply distressing experience but thankfully they did blood work, a urinalyses, another CT scan, put me on fluids, and i was discharged from the ER within several hours.

i know it’s a bad time for everyone rn and i feel immensely awful even putting this out there, i just.. do not know what to do rn lol. i am uninsured. i an unemployed and could not finish out my final two weeks at my previous job bc i was hospitalized (the reason i quit being i just moved and the commute wouldn’t be worth it ultimately), and the small amount of money i do have saved up has to go to like.. rent. car. mental health medication (that’s now $60 for half the amount i used to get for $5 🥴). i don’t know when i’ll be able to find a job rn due to my health being Everywhere at the moment + covid being a thing.

we received the first bill for my first hospital stint ($746 only but my mother jokes that that’s probably. for like. the motrin they gave me in the waiting room when i got there lmao) but we know there are gonna be tons more. they did multiple CT scans while i was there. tons of blood work. a lot of pain medication.

at this point i’m just.. super stressed. i know there’s tons of shit going on and i have absolutely nothing to offer in return, but if anyone happens to have like. a spare $2 or something to send my way, it would help immensely. all of this shit hit at the worse possible time, as life often seems to work, and i just… idk!

please, PLEASE, no one feel obligated to share this or help in any way; i just.. am super desperate and scared rn about how i’m going to get through everything with this much debt and no job. i’m sorry for the word vomit and wasting anyone’s time, it’s just.. a really hard time for me rn. i tried to apply for insurance but i haven’t heard anything back and i don’t know if i’ll be accepted

thank you for reading!!!! sorry again.
