My Doctors have made it clear that avoiding brain surgery will require me to control my stress and focus on getting into remission as quickly as possible So unfortunately I must give up my home. The stress I'm under here has caused too many setbacks already gofund.me/fe1b68f08

7 hours left and still at $250 to go to stay housed, it’s storming rly bad out now too 🥲 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt... account.venmo.com/u/katiwithou...

gave motel everything I had so far and they’re giving me until tomorrow bc it’s a holiday but STILL STUCK at $35/400 due by tomorrow to stay housed or $1450 total, rly panicking so anything helps 🥲🫡 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt... account.venmo.com/u/katiwithou...

Yes I am still pushing this hard! I have snacks/treats, fun makeup, & misc items. As a disabled queer trans artist struggling to get gigwork, *anything* would be amazing. 💙 #Birthday If you would like to celebrate and not use Amazon, I have these options: paypal.me/rookkilljoy CshApp/Vmo: foxrook

I've hit $230 so far, with $700 rent needed *before* 11AM on Sunday to avoid late fees, and $350 for my already late storage, including fees. Can anyone else help me get closer to rent BEFORE last minute this week? I could seriously use a weekend without panic.

My friend Brooke @zenmeow.bsky.social made a fundraiser for me on Tiltify and has streamed it on Twitch. We’ve made great progress but there’s more to go. May is my birthday month and I'm hoping to keep safe housing for my 26th bday. Grateful for any support 💜 Repeat of goal - $130.

Seeing hantav*rus reactions is a glimpse into the chaos the next actual pandemic will cause bc there will be no effective leadership or comms. People memory-holed an experience they don’t want to think about ever again, get angry about protections, and the US has baboons with chainsaws at the helm.

Establishment PH has no idea how to effectively communicate in a changed world. There are some people swimming against the current in PH obviously but there are also people who truly should never be in leadership and that’s going to hurt us all. Again. Some people just fail up I guess.

Check out their work!! Their plushies are super soft and huggable!!

Check out ChiChi and their amazing work!!

It's Rook's birthday month! Want to send a treat? Here's an Amazon wishlist, or you can use the link in the next skeet

Birthday! Birthday! Birthday!

knowing what a history and physical exam should entail and watching fully-done-with-training doctors skip crucial parts of the exam is a weird thing. Like, you couldn't be bothered to do a 2nd year med student exam, but you insisted I come into your office for an in-person visit. Why? [rhetorical]

I've had a very longstanding aversion to cruises. Before I understood about their environmental impacts, before I could articulate how they further a legacy of w.s. / colonialism, before I knew about the public health stuff... I thought they sounded like a very personal hell.

well that sucks.

A few years back, a local medical business punished one of my very best doctors for advocating for himself, his staff, and his patients to have safer care with PPE and virtual visits. He was removed from outpatient clinical duties. Everyone knew it was punitive. It didn't make any difference.

My MDs in Jan. 2025 regarding needed surgery: The good news is it's not urgent! May 2026: Finally scheduled! But now, in addition to risks of COVID, flu, rsv, & Measles because no preventative PPE in healthcare, there's a brewing shitstorm of human-to-human transmissible hantavirus because cruises.

$5/$30. Thank you!

A local medical business has these social questions they ask now randomly before some appointments. One set is about whether I (the patient) have any issues due to taking care of a disabled person. They don't ask if I (the patient) am disabled & if my needs are being met.

And then when Victorian diseases make a comeback from this very mentality the only answer is “we must rebuild trust - let’s jump on the ‘AI’ trainwreck funded by people who do not gaf about publ*c health, that’ll fix it!”

🦠 As the media discusses Hantavirus, they continue to ignore the risk of chronic disease, learning little from lessons Long COVID. A 2005 study found "survivors" had extreme fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, kidney issues, and more at least five years post-infection. cdn.mdedge.com/files/s3fs-p...

Prolonged + close contact is not a mode of transmission

Woke up to my social media looking like it’s January 2020 and may I recommend this excellent podcast? Some of you really, really need it.

How to Stop an Epidemic: There are some answers in the past. In March 2003, one SARS patient showed up in a Vancouver emergency room and another went to a Toronto emergency room. But two very different sequences of events unfolded.

🎯“close contact” is a subjective distance not a mechanism for what is happening in that distance. It’s an old euphemism that doesn’t mean much. If health leaders want to prevent worse outcomes they need to be clear about the few reasonable transmission possibilities and then interrupt them.

#recall #milk Horizon Organic Chocolate Organic Lowfat Milk due to a packaging issue. The FDA says the milk carton's packaging integrity is compromised.

Can we help them stay housed please?

there will come a day when I will not have to argue with nondisabled nonexperts about whether improving disability data collection means there will be "too many" disabled people in our datasets...

Apparently, I had a … skeet that got some numbers. If you came for the outrage, stay for the care. Because that’s what matters. That’s how you push back against the bad stuff. You care. Active verb “care”. KS is a friend. KS is kind, and they are there for folks. please be there for them.

NOTHING NEW RECEIVED AS OF 5PM 🕔

Still no change since my last update, still have the usual bills and needs. Thank you for all of the shares I appreciate it, please keep sharing and donate only if able. Thank y’all and love y’all! ♥️ #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2026 #DisabilityCrowdfund #MABoost #MArequest

No words for this. This is where we are at in healthcare in the year 2026.

with additional bells and whistles, because I didn't say it today: fuck the New York Times.

The @nytimes.com will find ways to blame students for being attacked by a university or resident it is about Palestine. What a rag.

"why aren't young people out protesting"

I know most of what I post here ends up going nowhere. I don’t have a energy to figure out how to maximize reach on this app. But I’m stopping in here for a minute to share that I recently had a HCW decide I was incapable of making my own medical decisions simply because I use a wheelchair.

Please don't forget about Elle. Uplift, chip in, be kind. #helpsky #helpfolkslive2026 #mutualaid 💕💸 #Fundsky

I don’t know what else to say other than this is urgently needed. Community leader, culture curator, and for me personally, a friend, Mae needs to get this set so she can go to the hospital. Please, do what you can. Share what you can.

#Helpsky #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest

Still no movement on this

Urgent! I know there is a lot going on today, but I vouch for El, they are a real person with real disabilities and real needs. One of those needs right now is to stay housed along with their elderly dog! Please if you have anything, every cent and share helps for my dear sweet friend. #MutualAid

Hey, friends and friendlies, I've reached $130 so far. Since it's Friday, I need to shift priority to Sunday's $700 rent, but storage is due TODAY and I would love to avoid late fees. Please consider chipping in, as soon and as much as you safely can? And please keep sharing!

still at $195/2000 or $1805 to go in five days, or $205 left due TODAY and already got one VERY pissed off call from motel manager this morning 🥲 everything helps 💕💕 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt... account.venmo.com/u/katiwithou...
