Emergency Art thread!!

$69/$969

Hello! Im Ripley, and I am a trans queer currently stuck in Tennessee!! I have an emergency dental surgery I cannot avoid any longer scheduled on the second of June, and it will severely cut into what I have saved up (and what would otherwise have gone to moving in with some friends in Illinois!)

The cost of renting a Uhaul and gas mileage from Illinois to Tenneesse (and back) is approximately $969 USD! I have no current means of income, and I would be unable to work regardless while recovering from surgery.

I do not have the estimate for how much the dental surgery will cost, and I won't know until the day of. I currently have only $1k in my account, and due to the number of teeth being removed, I suspect it'll wipe out most of those funds. I'm also struggling to ensure I can eat due to my family's choices regarding resource-fighting over food and money.

There are various other factors at play (like my parents pressuring me to stay at home and go to college, but not helping me get my drivers license, both situations keeping me quite literally stuck here!!) and I am lucky to still have as much money as I do, but I'm otherwise still stuck unless I'm able to raise funds for moving!! Reblogs mean the world to me, and any dollar amount is worth its weight in gold!!

if any minors are following me

always make sure to start forging parents' signatures on the first day of class. that way, your teachers won't know that you've been forging signatures for the rest of the year

I need folks to understand that "conflict resolution" does not mean

"every time I accuse someone of something":

  1. they will instantly shut up,
  2. not ask what they did wrong,
  3. never attempt to explain themselves,
  4. apologize perfectly in a way that completely satisfies me without me needing to explain how to apologize nor exactly what they need to apologize for,
  5. and then we "move on" but I'm still allowed to shun them and
  6. I expect everyone else to be on my side and hate this person

Sometimes, conflict resolution means you learn that your accusation was unfounded and you were in the wrong. You misunderstood something, you overreacted, and YOU caused harm.

Sometimes, conflict resolution means YOU end up apologizing.

The glass cliff, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon by which women are more likely to be appointed to senior executive positions during times of organizational crisis, making them less likely to succeed. These newly appointed executives may confront internal board resistance, operate with less time flexibility, and ultimately receive shorter tenure than their male counterparts. And, when a woman CEO is terminated from her position, she is more likely than not to be replaced by a male (the “savior effect”).
