If you've ever encountered Escher Girls (the site/blog that critiques and makes fun of impossible or unnecessarily sexual poses for superheroines), @ami_angelwings is the one who runs it.

She's a transwoman of color in Toronto having difficulty finding medical solutions to her current mysterious health ailments, if anyone can share/take a look at the recent boosts I've made, to try and help her out, you'd be doing the world, and her, a great service.

She is terrified, desperate, and needs aid.

We are taking back “MAGA” from fascism.
