POC deserve to feel safe, seen, and cared for in fandom spaces.
Fiction should be a form of comfort and escape, but more often than not, POC are left out, ignored, pushed aside and mistreated in media and the fandoms that form around it.
Take some time to ask yourself , “Am I creating a safe, caring and supportive environment for POC in my fandom?”
Racism is beyond exhausting. It feels like a constant weight. It makes you check around every corner, afraid that hatred will appear in every quiet moment. Afraid that hatred will crush you. That feeling follows you to fandom spaces.
Every second I wait for the penny to drop. Every second I wonder who will dehumanize me next. It’s a sickening way to live. But the worst part is, I’m used it. I’m so used to it I don’t even realize how heavy my heart is all the time.
POC deserve to have fun and rest in fandom spaces. So please. Make room.
I don’t have much hope for this but I have to try.
Most of you know I found a sick baby cat last year and nursed him back to health (or so we thought). I couldn’t find anyone to adopt him so I basically did, though I already have three cats and a terminally ill dog.
He had corona virus when I found him, but he got over it and things were looking up until about ten days ago, when his fever suddenly spiked and he stopped eating. We went to the vet the same day but instead of helping him they made matters infinitely worse by giving him ibuprofen for his fever. A week later he got worse, I took him to another clinic today and sadly he was diagnosed with FIP. For those who don’t know FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) is a 100% deadly and is only treated with an extremely expensive drug for 84 days during which you can’t miss or postpone a single injection.
The vets I took him to today are worried that he won’t be able to handle the drug due to his kidney condition, so he’s gonna need support therapy for his kidneys and liver, which will make the treatment even more expensive.
I’m starting a new job tomorrow and I’ll get paid at the end of next month AT THE EARLIEST. I can barely scrape money together for his first dosage which will last for no more than three days. Each dose costs about 100$ and will increase as he gains weight.
I realize there’s a lot of schemes about sick pets circulating which really sucks for the ones that are actually ill and in need of help and trusting strangers online is hard but PLEASE, I’m begging you, help me keep this poor baby alive, he’s been through so much!
I’m willing to do commissions, craft projects and pretty much anything! I just have to get him through this first month, then I’ll use every cent I earn to finish the treatment even if it means starving!
I’m uploading his tests, I’ll be uploading his progress and daily vet visits, I’m willing to answer any questions you might have.
Even if you can’t donate, PLEASE, spread this, anything helps!
