Fund Me Fridays is back!

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I will be reposting mutual aid links under this thread.

Drop your links and let’s meet some needs!

Even when you can name it, you can't call it a pattern because then people might have to account for it.

One of the reasons I believe in UBI and social housing ?

Is because aise it helps stop , scams , grift and emotional manipulation

…

You can’t work?

You should be safe !

You don’t want to work ? ….. it’s harder for you to use. Manipulation and abuse to decimate people

Started scorpio season with clear mammogram 🫶🏾

maybe an outlandish pair of glasses would fix me

America never wants to preserve what Black people build why should the White House be any different ?

It is forbidden for us but maybe I got McDonald's money after all 😂🤔

that nazi tattoo guy isn't even working class

his grandad was a famous architect

he went to private school

he was a military officer (who thought the troops he commanded were scum)

it's the performance of a stereotype that presents fascism as the only alternative to the status quo

Knowledge is Worth Your Time Folks who hang out on Bluesky/Twitter may have caught bits and pieces of the discussions amongst academics about what to do about today's university students...

😮‍💨 Not calling in a big order. You should tip regardless but tip extra because someone that should be assisting in the front is probably getting sent back to the kitchen to make more. They will be understaffed in the front and working double time in the back.

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

Hey so if you think other people should have less resources because YOU don’t need those resources, you suck.

I would need to really believe the 500K is locked in. Given the state of **waves hand at everything** my institutional trust is low so I'd likely take the $10 mil. I already mask in public, so I'd make do.

Saying to be against gen ai “is ableist” is actual ableism! You’re not only dismissing thousands of years of art and work done by disabled people, who have always been creating, but by supporting ai you also cutting off a big source of income for many disabled artists on top of stealing their work

Nobody ever believes us about anything

And now here we are

This the set of alumni that hate that Virginia went from red to blue.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Thomas Jefferson’s views about Black intellect governing his beloved university

My pet peeve is people saying they are zero tolerance on a type of harm but it's actually 3 to infinity and beyond strikes.

In the North non-Black people enact some 3-50 strike policy for harmful behavior cause people grow and change and the real bad stuff is over there or only happening to Black people. The protective responses to Platner doesn't surprise me.

When Blackface happens in the South more non-Black people seem to understand why I can't be friends with the offender.

Good ole boy network things.

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.

"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

BFFR 😂

You don't owe anybody anything if you stop claiming them. It's actually really tidy and elegant solution.

Been told I was an appropriator, entitled, taking up too much space so much I don't want to fuck with it anymore 👎🏾

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second:

Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

Tribal people been mean to be for not having lots living blood relatives too.

No your brother is a Nazi. Marine here and we never took any body's symbols

I don't like education reparations because it still puts me in a world where many of my relatives are deceased or incarcerated.

At this point so many people have gone out of their way to be really clear that credentials don't mean anything when they belong to me so there's that too.
