"There is little precedent for fat androgyny. Generally our androgynous icons are svelte and lacking in secondary sex characteristics. David Bowie, Tilda Swinton, Katherine Hepburn; these small-bodied, predominately white figures of androgyny have created an aesthetic with little room for deviation. This means that for those of us with bodies that do not conform to traditional standards of androgyny, we are often misread and misunderstood, even in queer spaces."

➜ So Close I Can Taste the Good Health
Hello. My name is Neoma Lindley, and I live with a condition called ‘pseudo-tumor cerebri’, a form of IIH (idiopathic inter-cranial hypertension). This condition causes severe migraines, vision problems, and at times leaves me in such pain that I can’t function.
Treatment for this condition is a lumbar puncture and tap, to remove excess cerebral-spinal fluid. However, this procedure is expensive, and since my mother’s death last April, I have not been able to afford a tap, meaning my inter-cranial pressure is very high, and I am struggling to function.
With out treatment, I am experiencing radical and continual vision loss. I am in near-constant pain. I really need help.
I need this tap, and I need it as soon as possible, but without aid there is no way way for me to get it. Every little bit helps, you have no idea — if just a couple hundred people can spare a single dollar to me, I’ll be in the clear for this procedure.
((please, even if you have reblogged this from me before, consider reblogging it again. I am so close to being able to get this done, I just need a little more help.))
► spacerelish whispered good. No wait I thought of a better one. I Shot The Sheriff But Now Everythings Fucked And Im Going To Die Fuck All Y'all Idjits. And I better go to bed now, goodnight!((Pffffff excellent. Sleep well dear.))
