Solen1a - Soledad Paloma

hello! i newly figured out i am intersex, however i haven't been able to find much content talking about intersex experience, history or community, when i first realized i was queer originally i found a lot of content like that and found it helpful, and i was wondering if there's any recommendations you might be willing to give about any content on being intersex or intersex creators who you think people should know about!

Hey!

This ask honestly made me really happy, because when I was searching for people and resources to share with you, I realized how much stuff has been created in the past 5 years. When I was diagnosed as intersex, I felt like there was so much less stuff than there even is now, so it makes me really happy to know there is more stuff, even if it's still hard to find.

Some of the things I've put on this list are outdated or might include perspectives that I don't completely love, but might include important historical context. It is also a very US centric and English language centric resource, although I have linked to organizations in other countries and would love if people added on recommendations to intersex resources in a variety of languages. As always, take what resonates with you and leave behind the rest!

I'm fucking weeping rn

hey so we put your boyfriend in a tabletop campaign and now he has a martyr complex. yeah he got protective to the point of being self sacrificial due to his lack of self worth. we gave him a found family so he had something to live for but instead he’s just committed to being a human shield to keep them safe even if it kills him. sorry

As an autistic, it feels and looks like a lot... As an enthusiast, it just looks like the coming years are going to be hella fun !

Climate change has made many natural disasters worse than they were before, especially hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, and flooding. So I am curious:

Urgent Request: Help Needed for My Mom’s Cancer Surgery

Dear everyone,

I'm reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help in the face of an overwhelming challenge. For almost two years, my mom has been in a fierce battle against cancer, fighting with all her strength and courage. However, 15th of March brought devastating news: the cancer has spread to her cervix, and she urgently needs surgery.

The cost of the surgery is staggering, and despite our efforts to crowdfund, we've only managed to raise $45 in over two weeks. With nowhere else to turn, I'm faced with the difficult decision of parting with some of my mom's cherished plants, hoping to raise the funds needed for her treatment.

With each donation of $10 or more, you not only contribute to her life-saving surgery but also have the opportunity to request one of her beloved plants attached to this post.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference in our fight against cancer and bring us one step closer to ensuring my mom gets the treatment she desperately needs. Please consider donating and sharing this post with your friends and family to help spread the word.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.

A plant lover who wants to save her mom!Your support is much appreciated!

PS - Two weeks ago my big sister(Ms. Jay) started this campaign (She raised the $45) before her URL got bagged! Prior to that, family, friends and Plant communities had help sustain her treatment using the same link.
