Hey everyone, As I continue a long, painful, emotional, and physical healing journey, I'll need help to pay for housing to keep me safe. I've raised $170/$1260 so far with only 4 days to go. Lateness is not tolerated and evictions are quick. 🧵 linktr.ee/khernandez #helpsky #mutualaid 💕💸

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

Hey everyone! We are still on the search for a landlord-tenant law attorney, but your help has put some new wind in our sails as we do have options now (and have some leads that we are sitting down with). Please continue to repost/donate if you can. Thank you again 🧡

Welp it’s gotten real real if you can please help. If you can’t it’s really hard out here so share gofund.me/a5ee0064

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

Finished re-reading Beverly Jenkins Blessing series. Sad the last one will be published later this year 🥺🥺🥺 Is there a comparable series authored by a BW? I especially love the humor and joy of the series. #blackbooksky #diversebooksky #romancelandia #booksky

For fans of true-crime, memoirs of Diamond Doris by Doris Payne and Never Saw Me Coming by Tanya Smith both read like crime thrillers. #blackbooksky #diversebooks #booksky

OH also there's no amount of nice you can be to make someone treat you well if treating you like shit really works for them

They need like, an emergency injunction to shut down DOGE and get those hackers out of the government’s sensitive data systems + an immediate forensic investigation to ascertain what the FUCK they did and who they shared the data with. The national and global security implications are unthinkable.

No, the president does not in fact have the authority to turn over the treasury and government infrastructure to an unelected billionaire and his digital mercenaries! This would be the headline of every major news outlet if they weren’t owned by corrupt oligarchs who put this criminal in office!
