I sent what I thought was a “no big deal” kind of message to my oncology team on Friday, didn’t hear back until today. The nurse: Bri. If you feel like that again, promise me that you’ll dial the on-call number and go to the ER. Me: oh… okay! Sorry! Nurse: say the words. “I promise”

Monday Morning Kitten

I am truly amazed and blown away by how many people have donated, including tons of people who don’t even know me. I’m beyond thankful for the support. 💓💓 Update: now we’re just $242 short for rent (I’m including the late fee that the office won’t waive 😭) Idk how to express how grateful I am. 💓

Hey friends! Just a little update: I’m still about $800 short on rent, and I’m facing my electricity possibly being shut off soon. Sharing or donating— anything is a huge, huge help to me.

Sharing again 💓💓 Hoping to hit $10k in the GFM to make it through July! I need $1150 by July 5th to at least cover rent and avoid late fees (they just increased my rent this month 😭 excellent timing 😭😭) gofund.me/4541e268f venmo.com/u/Brianna-Tr...

Any donations now would help pay for my internet, groceries, and cat food for June! I also have July coming up— hoping to get to $10k on GFM by then so I’m covered. gofund.me/4541e268f venmo.com/u/Brianna-Tr...

… a lil opossum munching away on my cliff bar in my pannier! 🤯😂 How did it get here?!

Me: its time to open up this pit! Construction Contractor: please, no

Having cancer *and* ADHD really has me living up to the “wow you people can’t do anything” meme

Chemical irritants were sprayed at protestors outside the federal courthouse in St. Paul Tuesday afternoon.

Outside of the St Paul courthouse, protesters are fighting with agents. The feds are now charging 15 people with impeding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis- under the guise of "antifa". As an aside- in LA they have failed to obtain guilty verdicts in most cases brought against protesters.

Should I put “fighting cancer” as a job title on my resume

My mom passed away 3 weeks ago after a 7-year battle with lung cancer. We’re trying to raise $8,536 for funeral expenses since we don’t have insurance and barely any income. Any support or even sharing this would mean the world to us right now. Please, I’m desperate. ko-fi.com/ellienoctis/...

Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me. My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. They can't win with the truth - so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better.

Sorry to keep sharing— June is here and I need to make sure I can pay rent 😅 any help (even just sharing this) is so appreciated!! 💓💓 gofund.me/78a22a68e

This GFM has already helped pay two months of rent, my phone bill, groceries, and medical expenses. I’m so, so grateful!! 💓💓 Rent is coming up soon, and I need to make sure my power doesn’t get shut off. If you can spare some change or just share this GFM, it would mean so much to me. Thank you! 💓

✨ My Commissions are Open ! ✨ Sharing would be a great help, thank you ;u; ♥

Fatphobia is wild because what do you mean my 100lb weight loss is a “silver lining” to having CANCER and “hey, at least [I] look good now!” Ma’am I was dying

Speaking of cancer… I’ve got a couple weeks of treatment left, and my doctors expect me to be experiencing some tough side effects for a while. I won’t know if I’m cancer-free for months. All that to say, if you would like to support me financially while I kick ass cancer’s ass, here you go 💓💓

They gave me a little certificate and I cried lol

Finishing chemo today!!

I’m having a really hard time with my cancer treatment this week, and next week I start chemo again. It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. Stupid cancer.

What’s up with me? Oh not much just sobbing with gratitude over how kind and thoughtful and helpful the people in my life are.

Minneapolis is pretty tonight.

Idk if you’ve heard, but I have cancer. (Stage 3 anal cancer! Please do not skip your colonoscopies!) Here’s a little update on how my first week of treatment has gone.

My dear friend Bri has stage 3 anal cancer. Her doctors are optimistic but intense treatment is needed. Please donate and boost.

this did kind of happen to me once in college I (44F, bike hater) called my housemates for a ride home from play practice and my friend Jesse rolled up on a tandem bicycle I did not know he had been secretly restoring in the shed apparently they could hear the screaming from like 5 blocks away

Oh no (click)

hey friends, trying to raise funds so my friend maha can pay rent and get medicine for baby hamoud—can you help out? sharing helps xo gofund.me/6aa13bbe7

When a doctor says they’ll get back to you in 1-2 days THEY SHOULD GET BACK TO YOU IN 1-2 DAYS.

My friend is so so lovely and doesn’t deserve to be going through all of this— please send some support their way if you can 💓💓

Happy last day of the month! Stand with Minnesota has a lot of rent needs and not enough donors. Can you help adopt a rent? Extra points if you have Zelle, because we have a lot of Zelle needs and are at our limits. If you can help: www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent

I’m getting an MRI on Sunday— do I need to remove my septum piercing? It’s rose gold and doesn’t react to magnets but idk— I think I need a piercer to take it out for me… 😔

My fear now is that people will get bored of the news story of what’s happening in Minnesota. It’s a very active situation. Remember 5yo Liam Ramos? More kids have been taken from his school and last I heard he’s still in Texas. If there’s been a drawdown, no one I know has noticed it.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

It feels bad to ask for any help (esp. in the midst of everything happening in Minnesota right now), but I’m still waiting for assistance to help me cover living expenses. If you might be able to help me with things like rent, food, WiFi, phone, laundry, medical supplies, etc., here’s my venmo.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

IS THERE NOT A SINGLE FUCKING PERSON IN THE GOVERNMENT OF THIS COUNTRY WITH AN OUNCE OF COURAGE

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple. From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

This is a whole thread of FUCK YEAH, MINNESOTA! Things are terrifying and awful, but the steel fucking cojones and resolve of Minnesotans will be written about in history books.

Yup. And we terrify ICE. As it should be. They cannot wrap their tiny little heads around the fact that we really do love our neighbors and hate them with the white hot passion of a thousand suns

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

Like for every Will Stancil chasing ICE around in his Honda Fit, there are grandmothers delivering groceries or giving vulnerable people rides. But you cannot switch from one to the other, and certainly not in the same car.

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

No hell hot enough
