Absolutely miserable time for my meds to go missing somewhere in my apartment
We're now dependent on aid from community to survive, which is terrifying with no idea when or if more will come.
Please become part of the reason we make it? linktr.ee/wylder
Any amount helps keep us afloat another day or few! #MutualAid #HelpSky #TransCrowdFund #DisabledCrowdFund 💕💸🏳️⚧️
We need immediate help to get groceries and meds. Rent is more than SSDI, so that's gone plus funds we raised, and we have nothing.
Its terrifying. linktr.ee/wylder
#MutualAid
One day I'll figure out
The right amount to say
Until then I'll ramble on
Until you walk away
Sitting on this corner
Hat out in my hand
Good folk won't you help us
Reach our promised land
The train is at the station
Our bags already packed
Two dollars for our tickets
A dollar for a snack
This Country is doomed There's nothing I can do WRONG MINDSET - Learned helplessness (fell for their Propaganda) - Energy wasted in anger - Depression and anxiety This country is doomed It's my chance to take over CORRECT MINDSET - Pattern recognition (Paid attention in History clnss) - In full control of own destiny - Excited for the future
The people of Gaza continue to struggle for basic sustenance, particularly now that Israel has once again restricted the flow of aid during its attack on Iran. The Gaza Soup Kitchen is still doing all it can to feed and provide medical support to as many people a day as possible. Please help them.
I hate to do this but I'm at a loss. We need to move out of this apartment ASAP, but we can't afford it on our own. We need help. I've made a goal on Ko-Fi. I have some things for sale on there as well. If you can give or buy anything to help, it would be so appreciated. 🧵

been trying to avoid this and may delete but also could really use transport cost help getting to all my dr appointments this week
I'm a homeless trans man living in my car and struggling to afford food and gas. I just got my car reinsured after a stint without it and urgently need help with my next payment so I dont lose it again. I've stalled at $50 for quite a few days.
Thank you for this thread 💜

I'll be doing trigger warnings on stream as well but a heads up that GULA is *dark*. Adult content ahoy, including genocide, sexual assault, suicide & assisted suicide
GULA is open for preorders until the 15th here: elliottdunstan.storenvy.com/products/369...
And ebook preorders are here: payhip.com/b/dJH7B
Helloooo everyone! Here's some fun news: I will be doing a reading of selections of GULA this Thursday night as a fun preview and in support of this awesome cause!
Like, great, you can "include" us in Your system. What about the fact that your system kinda sucks.
DEI was like... a nice idea. It's useful for getting people in the door and as a patchwork measure to even out numbers and repair long-term "white people hire white people who hire white people" etc etc etc. But it never challenged the underlying issues.
-two places: the Conservatives who were doing weird things like calling him Castreau, and leftists -- particularly Indigenous folks -- who were pissed off at him for all the Conservative things he was doing.
this is a really good illustration of one of my pet peeves in this kind of reporting: "i dislike X" gets all lumped together whether it's hatred of the idea or "they are doing a piss poor job of it/it's virtue signalling/it's a liberal paint job"
Trudeau's unpopularity in Canada was coming from-
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
CALL YOUR REPS
will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.
Absolutely unbelievable that this ends with her in ICE custody.
An FYI.
Thanks.
Dom and his gf have been working like mad to get out of the tough spot they’ve been in. Your support means helping one of the nicest guys I’ve gotten to know on this here Internet
Resolved ffffor now. I don't entirely trust them at this point.
thanks OTL
like, i thought i'd sorted it once already but now they've rescheduled me with a different doctor and at a different clinic while claiming to have called me
and i can't call them back. because. they don't. answer. THEIR PHONES.
also hi good to be back even tho i probably won't be online much this week
i'm safe now, but... idk some really insane things happened and i can't say i'm ok at the moment.
here's how you can support me in the meantime, if you want to.
Please send good vibes. I have to go into a doctor's office tomorrow to chew out a receptionist team and I'm not looking forward to it because like
I don't like chewing people out
But.... I have not been able to get anybody on the phone since OCTOBER.
And don't get me started on 2nd person and how bloody weird people get about THAT one. "Why are you writing like Homestuck" I hate to tell you this but Hussie did not invent Second Person As A Concept.
i think the wider discussion about first vs. third is more appropriately framed about readers being increasingly unwilling to be challenged or to experiment -- I see plenty of people being weird about first person too! And it's people who are just... very used to 3rd.
