Ed has relentlessly put himself through whatever was necessary to beat cancer back into remission time after time, regardless of the physical and financial toll it’s taken at times. After quietly battling it for years he’s asking for outside help for the first time. Please consider helping him out!

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Hello #PortfolioDay 💖 I'm Cery, a sapphic artist who enjoys drawing fantasy and ttrpg art. My specialty are illustrations with intricate and detailed borders. I would love to be involved in similar projects. ✸ [cerylune_art@gmail.com] ✸ www.cerylune.com

A black and gold illustration of a girl with golden wings enveloped by a dark wolf/raven-like creature. She looks up toward the sky warmly as the creature bares his teeth, her hands rest tenderly in his claws. Ravens swarm about them with a singular white raven flying up above them and golden flames below them. The background is a semi-circle border of golden roses, with an inner border of moons and stars. A moon enveloping a sun is behind them. The border text reads," It's written in the stars. Everything must come to an end."

The characters are my own, Cupiovera and Dove.

The illustration is split down the middle in two pieces. The first illustration shows a half-drow woman holding a knife to the throat of a shifter in mid-transformation. The text below them reads, "And it is you I shall forgive after claws cleave and rend." The second half of the drawing shows an eagle catching a raven and a jaguar holding a fox in it's mouth against an elaborate background of purple flowers and vines.

A black and gold illustration of a butch knight, in golden scale armor covered in wing and star motifs, holding a black sword with a glowing hilt. She is surrounded by a border of sunflowers, moons, wings, and stars. The banner flowing behind her reads, "Knight of Stars."

Illustration of a dragon-like woman covered in dark scales with a purple-pink-orange-to-white gradient with bright blue markings. She has feathered wings with crystal horns and tail. She wears a simple white dress with golden jewelry. The background is bordered with stars and leaves and bright blue gemstones that match her own.

One of the furry community's originals, Roz Gibson, is in really big trouble. She is in kidney failure, and needs a donor, so please reskeet. www.furaffinity.net/journal/1138...

I’ve thought long and hard about making this post, but really, at this point, I don’t have much to lose. Desperate times, and all that.

TLDR version: I need a kidney transplant, and I’m looking for a donor. Read below for all the gory details.

Since late 2019, right before Covid hit, I’ve been battling a serious illness. I’ve been kind of cagey about what exactly is wrong, for a number of reasons, but here’s the truth—I’m in full kidney failure.

There is no history of this in my family, so when the symptoms began appearing I didn’t recognize them until it was too late. By the time I went to a doctor my kidney function had dropped into the single digits. Most kidney failure is caused by diabetes or high blood pressure—I got some weird kidney disease I can’t even pronounce and never heard of: Oxalate Nephropathy.

By adopting some dietary changes and careful monitoring, I was able to limp along with reduced kidney function for several years. But you don’t appreciate how much your kidneys do to keep you healthy until they stop working. There’s constant fatigue and nausea, and a general feeling of unwellness that never goes away.

But eventually I lost even what minimal function I had left, which left the end of the line for kidney disease: dialysis. As of this point I’ve been on dialysis for about 3 years. Let me tell you—dialysis is its own special kind of hell that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

But even that is just a stop-gap measure, and my condition is continuing to get worse. Despite this, I’m trying my best to live as normal a life as possible. I’m extremely lucky I have a job that’s willing to allow me 9 hours a week for dialysis, so I’m still working. On weekends I work on my art and comics, and one or two days a month I do my volunteer work at the bird-banding site. I can even travel to see my family—if I arrange for dialysis at a local clinic ahead of time.

All of that is done while trying to deal with the symptoms of kidney failure. I’ve known 4 people who were on dialysis—none of them worked or really did much of anything, and at this point they’re all dead, which doesn’t really give me a lot of hope for my future.

Which brings us to the point of all this—I desperately need a kidney transplant. That is the only thing that will give me a chance at a relatively normal life. I’ve been approved and on the transplant list for a few years, but the waiting period in California is very long. By the time I get to the top of it, I may be too sick to get one. Right now I’m still in relatively good condition, comparatively. A transplant from a living donor lasts much longer and is better in every way than one you get from a deceased donor.

Unfortunately, everyone in my immediate family is too old or has other health problems that preclude donation. So this post is a desperate attempt to find anyone willing to donate. I realize donating a kidney is a lot different than giving ten bucks to a GoFundMe, but as I said at the beginning, at this point I don’t have much to lose by asking.

Here is the living donor site: https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-.....t/living-donor

You can inquire and even arrange to donate completely anonymously if that’s what you want. Hopefully there’s a Jack Salem fan out there who wants to see the stories (and the artist) continue for years to come.

That is all.

A bit of a personal post (TADC finale spoilers included) There's still times, *lots* of times, where I question the trans part of me... being a "correct" choice. But then I'll see stories or media, like Jax's story, resonating in so many ways to me, that helps me feel more comfortable with... me.

Argument over, now and forevermore

if you have a link to the VAs saying so i'd appreciate it. i believe in trans jax i'd just love a rhetorical 2x4 like that to whack people with in the coming days. closest i found was sean chiplock reposting a joke and that's not exactly an argument ender.
