Hi hi, my name is Oozing Gloop and I am an autistic trans-woman with ADHD who works as a drag queen living in Berlin.

I fell from my bike & broke my clavicle. (Gay collar bone)

I have the most emotional burnout of my entire life, supercharged I believe by hormone transition (1yr)

I have been crying every day and hyperventilating

One of my day jobs just cut my shifts by 75%

I am asking for €2000 to cover lost wages over a recovery period from September until December.

There is a financial breakdown below.

In two weeks exactly on November 13th, it is my birthday.

If you are someone who would buy me a drink for my birthday, or who has received a free tattoo or tarot reading, a free zine, performance photo, guest list, discounted ticket or PRICELESS MEMORY;

Then I would please ask you to consider donating to this fundraiser.

This fundraiser is an issue of my comfort not my survival. By comfort I mean not having to look for a new job with a burnout broken arm on my birthday.

I will use these funds to:

-Cover my lost wages

-Cover my recovery period until January as my 2nd job was supposed to do.

-Reimburse costs such as a microwave or taxis to doctors offices

-Cover costs for ready meals versus cooking from scratch

-Avoid panic attacks on public transport by getting cabs

Since September 27th I have lost 1170€ in income (six 70€ shifts two 75€ euro shifts and 600€ in postponed cabaret workshop fees. I will not receive sick pay.)

Due to heightened levels of stress I have had to delayed all other creative projects that will pay me until January.

I physically cannot do them right now. I am having anxiety attacks. This has never happened before.

However the idea of resuming creative activities in January feels good, sustainable and correct. I can with total integrity say that this is the right thing to do. I thought it was ok because I have two day jobs.

I have already returned to work even though bone is still broken. It heals up around November 3rd

Whilst challenging there was a way I could at least do them,

However today, in a text, I was told by one of these jobs they have to reduce my shifts by 75%.

Meaning I have lost 12 shifts between now and January. At 70 euro per shift, that comes to 840 euros less.

On the 13th of November I will be turning 35. I have done drag since I was 18, thats 17 years of public performative praxis. For which I have almost always been underpaid.

Once I have physically recovered I will return to delivering accessibly costed workshops for the queer community of Berlin.

I am doing this fundraiser because I am hoping there are people who have the capacity to support.

I do not like having to do this. But I have not asked enough help in this process and the ligament damage is healing slower because I have not rested.

Because of my autism and adhd I find it hard to organise multiple people to help me with things in a systemic manner. Like house work or cooking. I would really be easier if I could be self-sufficient (by eating microwave meals.)

As a birthday present for myself I am reaching out for support and appreciate any type of contribution.

Finally, this is for people who have some type of personal connection to me or my work. If you are a charitable and kind person who does not know my work I would ask that you give your money to someone affected by bombs.
