I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.

I have secured 3 plan-c pills which will be in my possession within the next week—if you should EVER need access to this medication but you’re restricted due to legislation AND/OR money, I will ship it to you (or somewhere safe) for free. For yourself, a friend, a family member, it does not matter. PM me and you and I will proceed to a discreet, encrypted chat.
I hate to do this again, but I need help. In a very "if I don't get the help I need I may die" kind of way.
Short story: I need to raise $6,500 to cover the other portion of my dental expenses so I'm no longer in constant pain and I don't die from my teeth eventually abscessing.
Long story: I finally got to a dentist today (July 28th, 22), and I was told I need at least half of my teeth removed because of their condition. This was the first dental visit I've had in thirteen (13) years, as my father refused to pay for them when I was a child and I only now had the ability to pay to go to one finally. The damage is done, and my top teeth need removing. That's where the whole dying part comes in.
Basically, if you're not well-versed in tooth decay and abscesses, if your back upper molars abscess, it has a good chance of spreading to your sinus cavities and then traveling to your brain, which can lead to coma, stroke, and death. The average rate of Americans dying from that was 650,000 a year last I checked. And, given I know what an abscess feels like, I don't think it'll be long before my back upper right molars abscess.
I don't want to die. I'm 23, and I've been in pain from my teeth for nearly a decade. I've not been able to bite into food with my front teeth since I was 13 or 14. The dental work I need would both potentially save my life and change it for the better.

If you want to help and get some rewards in the process, my Ko-fi does have some information about the game I have been talking about, along with some exclusive scenarios.
Any help is so goddamn appreciated. Genuinely.
The bill breaks down like this: Denture, full extractions, lower teeth diagnosis. Given I'm young, they want to get me a denture after I have all my top, wisdom, and one bottom molar removed, then do a bone graph so I have a chance in the future to get implants or a snap-in denture.
The full bill is $7,467. I have $1000 from CareCredit I'm putting towards it, and I have a little bit of money saved plus I'm going to tear a new one into the IRS to figure out where the fuck my state taxes are, but I need help getting the rest of it.

I’m still doing emergency comms but I’ve hardly had enough time to just SIT and do them and when I do I’m completely exhausted. I really didn’t wanna do this (asking for help makes me immensely uncomfortable lmfao) but it’s a last resort so!

I really hate doing this but I'm desperate. My cat Grayson injured himself and cannot walk on his back legs. We went to the emergency vet today and they charged $500 and we have no answers as to what happened to him other than "it might be a spinal issue". $180 just to walk in and the rest went to bloodwork. He's on an antibiotic and steroid medication for the time being, but still needs X-rays and possibly an MRI.
Unfortunately, this visit maxed out my credit card and I cannot afford any more medical care for him, so I'm asking if you can, to please subscribe to my Patreon to help us out. Even if it's just a one-time donation, I would be so grateful and so would my baby boy. I have nothing left and would literally rip my heart from my chest if it meant Grayson could be happy and healthy. This plea is my last resort.
I got Grayson years ago when he was nine months old, a scared little boy who came from a home with over 30 other cats. He was tiny, neglected, and terrified of everyone and everything. It took so long to gain his trust and even now, ten years later, he still has anxiety and runs and hides when scared. Until now, he has always been a healthy cat who enjoys playing with wand toys, catnip, and his favorite Temptations treats. I can't stand seeing him in pain like this.
If you are able, please please consider donating or subscribing to my page so we can hopefully help this sweet little guy out. The link is here.
violence is the appropriate response to oppression btw
