Little ram, wandering the desert

A gesture of love, immortalized in parchment

Drew this ref of another oc forever ago and completely forgot to post it — Ephraim’s lover, Charlie!

Finally got around to making a formal face ref for one of my ocs

Late night ramblings

i have 2 and a half weeks left until surgery and i still need help

my posts keep flopping and i need help. i'm a chronically disabled jewish trans man, and i'm having a total hysterectomy and top surgery at the same time on october 20th.

i had my hysto pre-op yesterday and they urged me to buy pads to catch any spotting/bleeding after the surgery, and laxatives to help with opioid constipation so that i dont damage my lower abdomen while its healing. i genuinely cant afford this right now, even if its not a lot. the only money i have in my bank account is to pay for my monthly bills.

the surgery itself is covered, but i need help paying for groceries, OTC medicines, and bills during my recovery. my gfm has been dead for over a month and i still havent met my goal. im running out of time and im really worried about this. if you can spare anything, id really appreciate it. if you can't, please reblog.

heres my gofundme

hi my surgery is one month from today and i still havent met my goal, donations have halted completely, the air quality in my area is bad due to the fires so i cant leave my apartment because i have to avoid smoke for the 6 weeks prior to my surgery. at my pre-op appointment they confirmed ill be staying overnight so they can keep and eye on me due to the invasive nature of my surgery, i would like to be able to recover easily knowing i can pay my bills.

help a disabled jewish trans man recover from surgery

ill try to keep this one short bc my last post flopped hard-- my name's joh, i'm a disabled jewish gay trans man who's set to have top surgery and a total hysterectomy in october, which is gonna knock me out and keep my from working for at least a couple months. i lost my last job due to covid, and i've been looking for work, but me & my family are immunocomp so my options are limited. even if/when i find a job, high holy days are coming up and i want to be able to cherish that time with my family, so i'll need to take time off in between working. i need to be able to pay my bills during my recovery, and if i can't find work before my surgery i... really dont know what i'll do. if you can afford it, please consider checking out my gofundme, or: cashapp: $jorielj venmo:@jorieljay if you can't donate, please share
