UPDATE: We're now sitting at $157.12 of $716.55. We only have $559.43 left to cover my entire month of utilities and bills! THANK YOU!!

90% of evictions in MN are for nonpayment of rent. I did a sample a week ago and found the avg nonpayment eviction in Hennepin County would take $5,122 to stop. Studies (before the high inflation of the past few years) suggest stopping an eviction saves $6,832 in public costs. It just makes sense

To the WONDERFUL person who just sent me $800, from the bottom of my heart, *thank you* 😭🥹❤️ The way the Twin Cities community has rallied around my friend is giving me hope on this very dark day. Including today's matching funds goal of $300, we are now sitting at $2410 / $2670!!!!!!!

The world is on fire & I need to come up with $700 to cover bills for the month, including all my utilities. I have a $105 power bill I need to pay ASAP. I am a disabled queer trans artist, medically complicated & unable to work right now. #MutualAid #DisabilityCrowdfund 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ CshApp/Vnmo: foxrook

Another fundraiser, this one happening today! Ice skating with Twin Cities figure skaters!

Happy last day of the month! I have quite a few rent needs and not enough donors, so if you have a couple bucks to drop in the rent pool, you can venmo me @ziibiing If you can give $500 or more message me on signal at asiniiwiikwe.72

If you’ve ever thought everyone on this site seems disproportionately Minnesotan, you are not imagining things. It’s true, and it’s my fault. 🥰

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

We bombed Iran?! | I need to pay that bill | Kansas antitrans ID law!! | Don’t forget Hugo noms | do we still have Venezuela’s president? | *an email re: book promotion* | I can’t pay this bill | cutting funds to MN?? | I need to check on my friends | timeline fights about doomerism | taxes | REPEAT

things have been fucked up in so many ways for so long

goes to scream into void. hears gentle sobbing from void. sits down next to void and strokes its vast emptiness. "you doing okay, kiddo?" void sniffles, rests nothingness in lap. "yeah, me too."

update: I got back up and did most of the dishes I've been dreading.

Now at $240/$1339 for rent and very late essential bills—thank you for your help! This winter has been really hard on my disabled body; your reposts and donations are keeping me and Astra sheltered, plus providing us w/ light, water, & the internet access that lets me do what freelancing I can. 💜

Some day the default will be kindness again

Is this what EU warhawks will parrot? Is this what our media will twist itself into logic pretzels to justify? "dEfEnDiNg!" Do we hate Islam - the religion of humility and hospitality - so much that we must destroy the entire Muslim world while pretending to "defend ourselves"?

So what, I guess Israel has a right to defend itself by firing a bunch of missiles unprovoked and then waiting to get bombed to bits, all so they can spend even more of their GDP on gruesome weaponry; and help to keep two different evil corrupt governments in power?

The Hague, again and again and again.

for fucks sake you know what maybe we'll all die instantly in all out nuclear war and whatever species evolves millions of years in the future will be better stewards of the earth & better neighbors to each other. like. fuck it.

Not all heroes wear capes, but at least one of them derisively slurps on a diamond the size of a chihuahua's brain while never breaking eye contact with the Cozy Gay Lapdog as he trembles over the word "hermaphrodite" like he's 20 years his own senior

It’s day 88 of the ICE occupation of MSP. The world we are building together is beautiful. Thousands of our neighbors in hiding are having their rent paid by strangers. And many of our rent funds are powered mostly by small donations. Let’s keep our neighbors safe and housed.

Like these are absolutely the same kind of guys who think they could beat Serena Williams at tennis or who assume that their little four times a week 30 minute cardio routine and supplement stack means they could out dribble Angel Reese on the court.

This makes me so fucking happy. 🥰

can you chip in or share?

ICE detained two of my very close neighbors today for exercising their right to protest. February 2026

I feel like I shouldn't be asking again but people need what they need and housing is fundamental... She's still fighting pneumonia and job hunting and is down to needing $506 - cashapp $byrabeez and PayPal kkeezer21, lmk if you need a Venmo option and I'll have a friend run intermediary!

Seriously. What are we even doing right now?

After several hours of work (with some breaks, I am still disabled), I haven't so much *reduced* the mess, I've more *changed its shape* but it is actually quite a lot of progress.

like most of Minneapolis, and the reason the Cities are so overrepresented here, I got my invite from @lookitup.baby

Thanks to a very generous $200 donation, we're now up to $1285 / $2670!! That's only *fifty dollars* away from the halfway point! I am absolutely blown away by how much we've raised in five hours. Thank you for helping my dear friend. My heart is so full. 🥹

Attempting to dismantle and clean up the depression nest I've built over the last 5 months. Promised my golden-retriever-friend any of my furniture he wants if he can find me some Big Strapping Hockey Queers to help me with the heavy stuff in a couple weeks.

To the incredibly kind person who just donated $1000... I have no words. You have no idea how much this means to me, or how much this means to my friend. I don't think she realized how much strangers on the internet would rally together for her. Anyway, her adorable dogs say thank you! 🥹❤️

the cruelty is the point

Oh God I think I saw that one and I am also horrified. It's just like ad after ad after ad for these products like it's not completely normal to stay at home and rest when you are SICK. It makes me physically ill that we are so much still in the "grind til you die" mindset as a society.

This is tugging at my heartstrings. I grew up in a mobile home park, housing insecure. It was family & community that got us through those times. Without them, I wouldn't be here today. Still paycheck to paycheck & clinging to great housing, but really only just. Anyway... Help if you can. 💙🩵

This is why people are still trapped in their homes here, unable to go to their jobs (jobs which may not even exist anymore), sick with worry over how they’ll pay bills and remain housed. Rent is due on Sunday.

#signalboost please. The occupation is still on, and we still have families in need in Whittier. Please help, please boost, please don't let the world look away from Minnesota. www.gofundme.com/f/support-wh...

hi everyone. i'm pretty sure they met their short term goal to cover rent requests already submitted/approved but not yet funded. but surely there will be more requests, short term and long term. i'm going to keep sharing rent fundraisers until ICE is out of minnesota for real (they are NOT!!!)

So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools. Stay frosty, friends

My friends, I'm sorry to have to ask again, but Kyra is still fighting pneumonia and job hunting and really needs help with rent. She's got some and is down to needing $666 - cashapp $byrabeez and PayPal kkeezer21, lmk if you need a Venmo option and I'll have a friend run intermediary!

Have completed my favorite refurb to date! Green amethyst.

Whew, if anyone is looking for a NCAAW game to watch this week, can I suggest Michigan / Ohio State for your viewing pleasure?

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

Please help my dear friend El stay housed if you can. Every dollar and share matters more than you know.

Help close this gap

Like where are the stories that exist in the space in between this, and something like Monk & Robot where the tea monks serve as a kind of prophylactic against antisocial behavior?

Every little bit helps!

Sitting here trying to remember all the sci-fi books I've read in which there's some variation on the theme of "psychological reconditioning" being a required part of rejoining society when you've done harm. My brain is too foggy, what do y'all remember along these lines?
