MARCH UPDATE: Falco's profile picture for some reason got removed, but it's the same old Falco. He needs $150 for groceries to survive, and a little extra for some treats -- both his parents died very recently within weeks of each other, and he could use something nice in his life. Please help!

Hot Take: Literary fiction can be just as self-indulgent as any other genre of fiction, if not more so. Oh it’s another book about a male writer blighted with ennui having an affair with a woman he kinda hates? Is everything ambiguous and rambling so no authorial decisions need to be made?

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

Also while I was fighting despair by sorting laundry and watering plants I want to say Happy International Women's Day to the women and especially the women who are in the closet about that It's your day! Even if it's a secret

Another $100 has just come in! Only a hundred away- with minutes left on the clock! This feels possible now, but it's a VERY close race. Please help ASAP if you can?

It is critical that Falco stay housed, and he only has a short time to get to rent this week. (Plus he needs food!) Please share and contribute if you can. paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=EL5EB7BDZ3GTW cash.app/$FalcoSkyWolf

A thing that’s shocking me about the lack of coverage is air safety info. Hi, Glasgow folk, from a Southern Californian transplant: ash from old buildings is super gnarly. Please wear a respirator if you need to be near the scene. Queen Street is still available, but it goes different places!

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

Under 3 hours left until this EXTENSION is over. Please help me out! Please! Any amount makes a difference, and I'm flipping desperate. If I had other options, I would have been pursuing them YEARS ago.

Happy International Women's Day! As an International Woman, I am currently accepting the requisite tributes in the form of soft French cheeses, Criterion Blu-Rays, and ancient grimoires. Thank you for your allyship.

Please help quickly if you can! Stalled at $355 of $700 rent, was due 11AM Pacific today. They're giving me until 5PM to catch up- very kind but still a short time. #PleaseShare, and chip in if able? My life is 100% dependent on safe housing. #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest #KeepFolksAlive

20 HOUR CRUNCH. $700 rent due 11AM tomorrow, time change means it's one hour closer than usual. I'm at $230 so far. Also badly need food, and am dealing with the second parent death in a single month. #PleaseShare, and help if able? #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest #KeepFolksAlive

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I had my titers checked for mumps, rubella, and measles. It’s an easy blood test, and I ended up needing a booster (mumps immunity has worn off). It’s a small hassle compared to getting sick or getting others sick!

26 HOURS to reach rent- this week is the time change so there's an hour less time between now and 11AM tomorrow. Please keep sharing? I've reached $180, and need $700 rent. Also badly need groceries, and grieving the second parent death in a month.

It's late but, better late than never! Here's the Fund Me Friday thread for this week. Post your mutual aid below and I'll do my best to repost throughout the weekend. Let's try to get some needs met this evening.

Eff it. I'm gonna ask for your help throwing myself a pity party. I found out today that my mom died, that's both parents within a single month, and I need more than just the bare minimum right now. I need a major pick-me-up in the form of chocolate and other treats on top of my usual groceries.

We should figure out how to have a dancing plague on BlueSky. Instead of sniping at each other we could dance in a frenzied manner without stopping for food or rest. Like getting into online arguments, it would feel good for like the first 20 minutes and then become increasingly worrisome.

I think of anti-vax messaging as a scam, and the thing is, no one is too smart, moral, or educated to be immune to scams. Now, what scam you fall for depends on your anxieties, hopes, and ignorance. Sometimes what those things are can be telling. /1

Please help our friend @falcoskywolf.bsky.social get some food and a headstart on staying sheltered! If you can't help please share! 💖🌺❤️🌸🍓

If you like books. If you hate censorship. If you love kids. Please do this one important thing to fight a national book ban. Right now, if you don’t mind. Yes, just stop scrolling for a second and make the call and then you can come right back. Thanks!

If anybody local in Britain can help, or knows someone who can…

Only a couple of days left to get my fiction for free or cheap!

The US army corps of engineers is considering, right now, what would be the largest destruction of coral reefs in US history. To make a port slightly bigger. People know this, right? www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... 🧪🦑🌎

Something I don’t think can be emphasized enough is how fast ICE is shipping the people they detain off to another state. “Move fast and break things” but for people in potentially life or death situations. nashvillebanner.com/2026/03/05/j...

Falco just lost both of xeir parents in a single month. The least we can all do is not have xem worry if xeir roof will be taken away from xem too, or let xem go hungry. And a couple treats in times of mourning can go a very long way.

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

the organizers and lud's family talked to @nbcwashington.com lud's lawyer spoke publicly about the case for the first time. you know the drill. spread the word to #FreeLud source: www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/h...

Admittedly this could be because the source for that peptide wasn't safe. But. Still. Just... be aware, people see "peptide" and they think "GLP-1 drug that has been tested" and no, some of these extremely are not.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Attention people who think Stella is funny and cool (that’s you, reading this) — With Stella’s blessing I am organizing a fundraiser event (probably a livestream) to try and raise as much money as we can to replace the $24k that was stolen from her! Please DM me if you’d like to be involved!

Falcon’s storage is safe this month! Can we get him some much-needed food, too? paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=EL5EB7BDZ3GTW cash.app/$FalcoSkyWolf

Falcon’s storage unit has critical mobility aids in it. Please donate if you can, and even sharing helps! We’re working against the clock.

And for those outside the wage system altogether, it's even worse. If you're disabled and rely on SSI, payments are currently capped at $994 a month nationwide. *Nowhere* in the country is that enough to afford even a modest one-bedroom apartment.

💸💕 $500 needed. 15 hours! Please chip in so Falco's things (including disability/medical equipment) don't get auctioned tomorrow! @/$FalcoSkyWolf

Abood is disabled, a 13-year-old boy with autism from Gaza, has a broken leg and needs surgery to have a metal plate inserted. The surgery costs €200. We appeal to your humanity to donate to him, even a small amount Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social Don@tion chuffed.org/project/1580...

At the bottom of the Substack settings page, under "Danger Zone," you can turn off all subscriptions at once. Apologies to all my friends on Substack. I'd gritted my teeth and supported you because I love your work. But Substack's partnership with Polymarket is the last straw for me.

ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and I’m scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help? V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Please share and give if you can! Thank you! 🌷

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

ty to the friend who sent $10! now at: 🚨🏠 $360 due TODAY to stay housed and $970 overdue total anything and everything helps ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

Boosting! Falco needs a Hail Mary for storage with late fees! Got important disability aids stowed inside and then there’s a need for groceries too #MutualAid #HelpSky
