Sonia, a Black DV survivor, needs to get the storage, car and rent paid soon. Please help #MutualAid 💸 💕 #HelpSky #UrgentNeed #BlackCrowdfund

Sounds good sign me up

yes Josh they had to redact thousands of files for that reason

Always love a chance to repost Twain's words on the subject.

Tonight's crowdfund is for Eric, a disabled cancer patient. He's still short about $250 on rent and utilities that will start being deducted this weekend. He has a GFM, but PayPal will clear quicker, F&F only, please: paypal.me/gojibear77

Also, not a crowdfund, but urgent: My friend Jen, who runs Taos Hound Underground, a local dog rescue, is upgrading their kennel system. They're short about $1,850 for February's costs. You can donate here [tax-deductible!]: www.paypal.com/donate/?host.... Or here: venmo.com/u/TaosHoundU...

“…who died after lighting herself on fire last year.”

This a million times

I'm helping the Park Slope Women's Shelter rebuild their art and craft room pretty much from scratch, on zero budget. Can you help? Here's our wish list: www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

GOOD. GET THEIR ASSES.

This is so rude of them (companies).

They are incredibly well resourced and organized. They have unlimited money and they're convincing you that they're on the right side of AI with their people having brought us here (see OpenAI, Anthropic etc and who it was founded and funded by).

DAMMIT I meant to save the link to a video interviewing people who live near data centers and the way that filth is affecting them, but I can't find it now. Any chance my mutuals know what I'm talking about and have it on hand?

Where are the Riley Gaines and other conservative female athletes in this moment? They’re up in arms about trans athletes tarnishing women’s sports then probably just laugh along as their president mocks women’s sports.

Moms Mabley. Helluva funny comedian, but nobody talks about her anymore. They should. - Came out as lesbian at 27 in the 1920s - First female comic to perform at the Apollo - Used a toothless old grandma act to talk about racism, sexism, etc - Inspiration to future black comedians

Well the men's team can go to hell

Okay, this family is down to needing $670 total. 10 people, $67 each. Or 7 people to match our $100, and they have a few of the fees covered, too. Surgery's in 3 days; let's do this tonight, PLEASE: spot.fund/k7g9nj4sc.

it felt important to bear witness to a wider scope of deaths than just Good & Pretti, though of course both are here. but like yesterday’s was a Ukrainian refugee who helped get other civilians to safety when he fled, only to die in ICE custody after he had a bunch of seizures and no one called 911

shout out to The Guardian for their extremely detailed reporting on everyone who died in ICE custody last year and this year, which was my main source. sometimes there are links to further reporting or even photos. I wanted to know a little more about who they all were and how they died

Yep

Thought I lost one of my @wyrdingstudios.com danglies, figured it would turn up in a bit. It just fell out of my hair. 🤨

Got rent made but need to work on March, plus I'm sure my cardiologist is going to tell me something annoying and expensive on Wednesday. Onwards, tiny turtle!

On the one hand, I am grateful to have the house to myself. On the other hand, I have no one to send to get things I need while I'm in bed. Drat.

The kids have developed a thing they call magic pistachios and I don't even know. It does involve actual pistachios, though, I got that much.

Another thing I love about Alysa is that her embracing joy, whimsy, artistry, authenticity and prioritizing having a healthy body and mind over aesthetic conformity and optimization blows a massive hole in much of the cultural messaging being pushed on women, esp young women, right now

Our friends gave the kids kazoos that don't work and it's kind of genius because they still blow on them at top effort and enjoy it but I don't have to hear it.

$150 received with a long way to go....thank you all and please keep boosting

I will be donating. Will others join me?

Minnesota nice means showing up for your community and keeping ice out! Buttons are a great way to show solidarity with our fellow Minneostans. Link to button here: www.rlmartstudio.com/product/minn... or by visiting our website RlmArtStudio.com by searching "Minnesota No Ice".

Just your reminder that if you do not train an AI model, you just don't train an AI model, and if you do not feed a human, that's murder and you're evil.

the contrast with figure skating, where everyone was delighted and Kaori even helped Alysa secure her stuffie with the medal, is especially funny

This is SO CLOSE. If 11 people give $100 each, it's DONE. And it needs to be done, because his surgery is in < 4 days, and out of state, with 4-6 weeks inpatient recovery there. PLEASE, can we get this family covered today?

We're on our way to 5000. Let's keep going.

The decision by two Bay Area DAs to pursue felony conspiracy charges against student protesters has critics concerned about the growing push to suppress protest. “That’s really concerning for the health of our democracy.”

Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.

This was my aunt. She's completely fabricated and retconned her past to herself and is trying to make other people buy into her fantasy land. She's very ick.

I just had a talk with my kid about being honest with yourself and how that's both hard and so key to growth. Not sure they understood it but they will over time.

Can we meet this #UrgentNeed for $2500 by finding 100 people with 25 bucks to sponsor a Black DV victim who just keeps getting knocked down every time she finds her feet? paypal.me/MsSoniaD or cashapp $spunkylilminx, everything helps it along. #MutualAid #BlackMutualAid #ShowUpForWishes 💸 💕

only $50 received on this #UrgentNeed #BlackCrowdFund #MutualAidRequest

Fascism is here and yet we insist on continuing to make things. Keep creating. It's so important. Do not let the fascists colonize your imagination or curtail your creativity.

I'm just barely on the other side of the crushing fatigue and have to start tackling the to do list but slowly. Or else it'll be me and the crushing fatigue part deux and I don't know that I could another 6 weeks of that.

This is what I mean when I say I have no idea what to do, and no way to plan ahead. I need to get March's rent in now before they make international shipping illegal or something. If you want a shiny thing, jump in here: oishiny.etsy.com

Thread: I've sent Sonia what I can, can you join me with however much or little you can? Every dollar counts, I'm sure.

These people are rank garbage

nothing received, please help #UrgentNeed #MutualAid 💸 💕

Look at those colors

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

The originally posted need is now met! If you’re here reading this and want to support families in MN affected by ICE, please donate to a rent relief fund listed on standwithminnesota.com. I’ve been working to fundraise with them and I can vouch for the funds that are up there. We keep us safe 💛
