Please tend to your burnout. There's a lot of fight in each of us, but only one person inside. The communities we build, and mutual aid, are for you too. Capitalism influences a reactive resistance. Don't fall for self neglect. It's not on you to be everywhere. Sometimes you can just be elsewhere.

They are asking for $2300/month for a plan that has a deductible over $6000!!!!

For those who do not understand American healthcare (hahaha cry) you have to pay $27,600 per year and then on top of that you have to pay over $6000 out of pocket before it actually covers stuff.

There are people in your life who will always hold fast to a version of you that no longer exists.

I've made a Ko-fi goal for November since SNAP benefits are being withheld for the next month. I use that program to help feed myself, so not having those funds available will inevitably hurt.

Thank you all so much for your help and boosts!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ

A product photo showcasing an orange lanyard design with fall leaves amongst playful black cats. Clipped to the lanyard is a keychain of a retro black cat head with a little hat and big ruffle collar. The keychain says โ€œcreep it realโ€ underneath the cat.

Any interest in some of these again? (Same as treats, so I'll just use that page). Not sure if I can finish in time for Halloween, but I can try.

a black cat sticker design. The black cat is smiling with slit pupils looking off to the side. a yellow ribbon is tied around its neck and yellow leaves adorn its body in an abstract design. The yellow of the eyes, ribbon, and leaves all have shiny glitter.

I would strongly advise reading this entire thread

I spent most of my young adult life on the street. Judgemental loudmouths think they know whatโ€™s best for any given unhoused or struggling person and they get it wrong every time

Learn about your neighbours

Talk to them

Fucking help them

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air!

Letโ€™s do this!

Yes itโ€™s overdue, and no it doesnโ€™t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.

Welll, I do still have my surgery next month lol but really glad to be getting everything done before the end of the year, in case I lose my insurance (or get a shittier one that doesnโ€™t cover anything)

Markets are now full of all kinds of vegetables, fruits and chocolates

My kids are waiting their dad to bring them some while I stand desperately and being destroyed from the deepest as I can't afford to bleese them even with a slice of an apple.

Please, stand with usโค๏ธ

I'm going to use the zombie analogy again:

If you want us to survive the apocalypse -

1) we can't let people in the safe house who WANT to open the door to the zombies

2) the person who arbitrarily says we need to give up some of us to save the others also can't stay in the safehouse.

Oh my god right? I have a trans therapist as well and itโ€™s so damn nice. So much that you donโ€™t have waste time and energy explaining because they get it. I am glad we both have this ๐Ÿ’œ

Thereโ€™s many reasons I no longer attend large demonstrations. But the complete and total lack of masking is hands down the number one reason. Itโ€™s never too late to start masking again. It protects you and your community. Bonus, itโ€™s good opsec. Wear.a.mask.

That Kamala sign perfectly sums up libs.When I was active in FL w trans rights, we got 0 support from the Biden admin. No one was out marching for our rights. We were on our ownโ€ฆwhile everyone else was having brunch. Please consider why u chose now to resist and how u will grow from here.

No therapy this week. But I see my psychiatrist tomorrow to catch up. I am pretty stable but still have some things to chat about. Hopefully I can get things figured out with my CPAP this week. Colonoscopy is next week ๐Ÿ˜ญAll the health things this month.

โ€œTo every โ€˜peaceful protesterโ€™ today: if you insist that violent protest is always counter-productive, queer history is not on your sideโ€ฆ

Rioting can work where peaceful protest doesnโ€™t.โ€

the folks who are like โ€œartists should never use the money until theyโ€™re completed with the workโ€ do not live in the same reality that a lot of others live in I fear.

no amount of โ€œprofessionalโ€ is going to help you out of a financial hole caused by unexpected circumstances.

This is absolutely how I manage a self regulating audience/community with my own work. Wearing your values on your sleeve attracts like minds and repels the rest. Iโ€™ve never felt safer or more supported in all my life.

WinCo staff won't do shit, they won't ask them to leave even. I got my cart rammed by aggressive anti maskers and the manager just let them keep shopping after the employee got on my case even though I was the one they came up to and started threatening because I'd told them to fuck off earlier

Some folks tell me that, as the joint owner of a public service, I shouldn't express joy at the sight of fascists receiving consequences for their hateful actions...

I would argue, however, if you don't feel some sense of comfort WRT fascists receiving justice, you're not who were here to serve.

Hay #disabilitysky I need some advice. Been having a rough time, more brain fog and stuff, and my family is really struggling for cash. Do any of you know any assistance programs for those who can't work but are supposedly "not disabled enough" for disability income? #chronicillness #spooniesky #usa
