My mutual aid group collects food once a month to stock the little free pantries in town. I think we all know why we're gonna have to step it up. If you want to throw some bucks my way, I'll be making a costco trip before our next one on Nov 4. #snap #shutdown #mutualaid ko-fi.com/elliottjunky...

Today I have an appointment with QMUNITY's pro bono legal clinic. But I'm still looking for recs cos it's not guaranteed they have the capacity to take on my case. Please share!

Need just $30 to get to $100.

Hey Alabama friends!!! Good place to donate, or volunteer!

Mini thread. For those wanting to help fill the gap for people they may know who won't get SNAP benefits for November.

Also, #3DPrinting crowd! Thanks to @moryan.bsky.social I have a link where you can sign up to send whistles to Chicago. They're trying to get up to 5,000 a week, so plenty are needed. There are two links to STLs on here (including the micro whistles I've been doing!) and a spreadsheet sign-up!

Hey friends: I'm going to be $100 short on rent on Saturday thanks to that car bill last week. Can you help me out? V3nmo @ dexanderson.

TL cleanse (for me) so I don't have to think abt racists & racism for 3 seconds. Look at this sparkly skein of "Peacock Balthazar" with a hint of a rainbow in the background. 🧶 And the gods and goddesses said "it is good." #indieyarndyer #yarnsky #yarnlove

So excited to share the cover of my next romcom (Not Quite) Done With Dating! It’s out in ebook, paperback and audiobook on 29th January 2026. #CoverReveal #RomanceBook #BookSky Preorder a copy here - mybook.to/NotQuite

Mini thread. Some parents of transgender children get it. Way to go "Bob"!

I firmly believe, with every single atom of my being, that instead of amplifying unreliable information that discourages helping, our focus as 42 million Americans face hunger must be on providing factual information that enables people to help. www.patreon.com/posts/142285...

Mask up! 😷 Measles is airborne and can be caught in an empty room. Even fully vaccinated people are at risk since we lack herd immunity due to lowered vaccination rates.

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners. Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

Bobina’s in the Halloween spirit 👻 This happy girl is still seeking her family. This shelter is also now offering 1 year free vet services, in case you know of anyone able to welcome a disabled kitteh… she is truly the loviest girl. @darthbluesky.bsky.social animalhumanenm.org/adopt/adopta...

I had my nose broken badly in an assault. Worked for Starbucks at the time and the Cup Fund paid all my expenses. 18 years later it still triggers my PTSD seeing these pictures. 18 years later, I'm paying it forward and donating. I hope she is ok. Please consider donating.

Today's pick for you from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social are these hairpins by @shivaniswriting.bsky.social. They're even prettier in person, with little sparkly centers & they hold really, really well. My hair tends to slip out of a bun, but not with these. www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

Hide your wallets, it’s that time again! #TBQsBookDeals Your Tuesday thread of #romancedeals is ready, FREE to $2.99. Happy shopping! 📚❤

Food relief orgs can do a LOT with a little. $50 to the Atlanta Food Bank provides 150 meals. $100 to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank provides 250 meals. Anything you can share will go a long way. Never feel like your efforts are too small to make a difference.

This:

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

Small upload today of things we discovered unlisted during inventory. Oops. www.peculiarityshop.com LGBTQIA+ staffed, artist named takes 70%. TY!

@emmanem311.bsky.social To you & Salem! 🥰

Can anyone share recs?

I have had these sitting on my desk to be uploaded for about 5 weeks, but I FINALLY DID IT! A bundle of six super popular colors of small hex fidgets, and 25% cheaper than buying six on their own! thebrokencircle.etsy.com/listing/4394...

Pet friends - maybe you have kibble you bought before your dog needed a special diet, maybe you have cans of cat food your cat refuses to touch. Less $ for groceries means less to spend on pets. See if your animal shelter or other community org can take pet donations to keep pets & fam together.

Really happy to see folks in the SF/F community here stepping up and donating to food banks and organizations that feed people. This is @adapalmer.bsky.social's doing, and it's making a difference. You can donate too, even if you're not on the Bluesky SF/F community. Need is everywhere.

The witch took her hands off the patient's body. "First of all," she said with absolute conviction, "there's nothing wrong with you." "The doctor-" "Said you must be either man or woman?" "That it's black or white, no grey." "Nonsense. Every colour in the rainbow is between black and white."

We go now live to BREAKING CAT NEWS! www.gocomics.com/breaking-cat...

I bet we can get this to $5k

She's trying to keep her job in midterms, and it's frustrating that jokes like "Y'all are making me agree with MTG/Why is MTG making sense?" are helping her. Her PR is deliberately doing this, but people need to remember she's still *her.* She hasn't changed.

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

Need something to read today? There are a ton of romances on sale still, hurry before they expire! 🤓📚

I finally figured out what’s wrong with my brain. On the left side, there is nothing right! On the right side, there is nothing left!

@romantic-heretic.bsky.social Happy Birthday, "Old Man!" 😁😱 🍺

Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare. I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛 #NoHunger

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments. #medievalsky www.landesgeschichte.uni-goettingen.de/handelsstras...

How it all goes...

I have a GoFundMe going to get a full electric hospital bed. I'm disabled, and having a total electric bed would greatly improve my quality of life. Unfortunately, for the past year, I haven't had much help with Medicare or Medicaid. bsky.app/profile/pers...

I know I've shared about this before but as the shutdown goes on, it continues to leave Pez in a VERY uncertain position. If you can spare, any help is greatly appreciated - and if you can't, even just a share helps. Cute cat photos included with every update. gofund.me/50a9b0fa1

If you travel around your city using public transit, why not print out copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE" in your city and hand those out? It's a simple way to inform people. drive.google.com/drive/folder... - I distributed some to folks on the bus today and they were all grateful to receive them
