first visible animal of dusk, whose antlers maim the stars, break off pieces of their longing shapes sends them scattering to earth, so full of omission no one is allowed to pass, there is no deep shelter there is only the ore-wear of hunger, time’s burrowing, the ways in which our desires beget us
Facing the Struggle as a Queer Transgender Refugees. We Need Your Help. 🌈
Hi there,
I'm AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and today I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is incredibly harsh for our LGBTIQ community. We’re facing extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter. Each day is a fight for survival, and without basic necessities, it’s getting harder to hold on.
It’s difficult to ask for help, but we have no choice. We’re in a dire situation, and we need your support to make it through. Your donation, no matter the size, can provide life-saving essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. Without your kindness, we are left vulnerable, struggling to survive.
If you’re able, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe⬇️🙏

Your generosity could truly make the difference between life and death.
I also ask you to visit my blog, reblog my post, and share our story to help us spread awareness. The more people know about our struggle, the more help we can get. You can be part of amplifying our voices when we have been silenced for so long.
I know it’s hard to ask for money, but we are in desperate need. We can’t survive this alone, and we rely on the compassion of those who can offer even a small bit of help.
Thank you for your time, for caring, and for sharing this journey with us. Your support is everything.
With deep gratitude,
AshleymilesPhil
FRAGMENTS
Fragments, oh fragments
Small pieces of brokenness
Time chiseled off moments
in detached consciousness
Shattered hope and dreams
In solitary confinement
Fear, in suppressed screams
Enforced early retirement
Retained disappointed feats
Trigger the onset of delusion
Unto bowing lowly in defeat
Reduced to utter confusion
Blasted, stripped of dignity
Unretrieved pieces of unity
Fragments of human sanity

Ye who are drenched in sin. Rise and face me. I shall guide you to the paradise that welcomes everyone.
Do you ever stumble upon a thing that moves something in your shell? Yeah, that's it
Perfect Butterfly 🦋
Wrote a poem and finally finished drawing it oit. Check the break for the poem:
Caterpillars gorge on food 'til they become a chrysalis
Destroying their own body inside to make a new one
Turning into a butterfly
A beautiful butterfly
Caterpillars are always hungry
Biting off more than they can chew
Take on so many things until you can't take it anymore
Hide away
Destroy what you hate about yourself
And come out anew
And then do it again
And again
And again
So when will this caterpillar
Become a beautiful perfect
Butterfly?
The Questions I Ask Before I Leave
Had I been brave?
Was I strong?
Unafraid to speak the truth?
What did I do with my time?
Did I fill the world with love?

A Gogyoshi Poem 5
I know you do not exist
But you think you do
Looking for darkness
In broad daylight
you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands
That is a very derpy Shakespeare... Silliam Derpspear if you will
Would you hang or would you sink?
Flutter like butterfly or moth?
Freeze over or return to ash?
Thoughts like koi flop from
a stranger's wishing well mouth,
toxic with copper.
URGENT HELP🚨🚨🚨🍉🇵🇸
Hello,
How do you do ? I hop to be in a good condition.
This is my special campaign
We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.
Every donation makes a different even if it a small.
As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.
There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.
Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .
We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.🙏🙏
