devoid

why are the worst people taking up the most space. go away!!

I sold my living tomb today
and cried because I’ve missed you so, best friend
I’m sorry your life was not brighter or longer
I’m sorry you’re not coming with me back to the country
I’m sorry we ever moved here and I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you

everyone should be aware of the dangers of interacting with you and how you absolutely refused accountability for isolating community members for the sake of bad faith

no one with integrity gives a solitary fuck about making you feel respected. yr dissertation is an embarrassing yt savior ass joke and your entire existence revolves around reducing and disrespecting other peoples’ personhoods. you’re a fucking poser. you’re just a nonbinary liberal with pronouns.

and I cannot fucking stand you. your voice makes me tremble, your sentiments enrage me, your bullshit reduces me to glass shards and I can’t believe I ever trusted you. fuck you for ruining my summer, fuck your PHD, fuck your new house, fuck your privilege and attitude, and fuck your feelings.

I try very hard not to be petty and not to subskeet. I tried patience, I tried honesty, I tried tact. I’m not actually allowed to tell you the truth anymore, so here it is: you have no integrity or compassion. you are only interested in yourself and your resume. you are upholding yt supremacy

Get some space and get defended.

We see your maskless selfies at those "protests."

We see you spreading COVID.

We see you making it unsafe for immunocompromised folks (& everyone else).

We see you supporting fascists who ban masks.

We see you fighting for so-called justice while ignoring disabled people.

*NOTE* if we receive other public benefits, we may have asset limits that would affect them if we suddenly got more cash that we have to report (eg), so ask folks who are receiving other assistance what food delivery/access method will be safest/not put our benefits at risk.

You can also hand us cash, a gift card (including to grocery stores, restaurants/food delivery apps, or online retailers), or shop from our wishlists, to name a few options.

Most of all, we know what we can eat and how we can eat it.

Allow us to choose our own foods.

If you're taking us to the store, give us your budget for the trip & let us do our own shopping.

- we eat foods that are healthy, just like you
- we eat foods that are not healthy, just like you
- we eat foods that fit our dietary needs/desires, just like you
- some of us cook, some of us can't, just like you
- many of us can't access food banks whether physically or dietary

If you're helping out folks who aren't getting SNAP next month (and possibly beyond), remember:

🧵

Just did this today - SNAP benefits will be cut off Nov. 1st! People need food!

fuck scorpio szn, you lot are the absolute worst

let's help Ruaa and her family spend this winter in a room, not a tent. donate chuffed.org/project/help...

I still need 130 sign-ups to make rent and cover bills this month.

You get literally 1000s of posts, over 900 recipes for £5 and more added every day.

16% off if you sign up annually!

Please just give it a try. You improve my life and can cancel anytime.

we will bleed out before anyone in proximity dares to offer us care

I thought I found my people
I thought the gate reopened for me to continue my pursuit
I thought we could hold each other
every hiccup in our inability to care for each other is another rude mirror
meant to remind me why I’m here

the summer faded as I hustled to make ends meet, tossed and turned, and cried myself to sleep
I’ve held my own grief, and that of my ancestors, the same grief they refuse to face
I can’t put it down until I harness it

is this the punishment I’ve earned, relive who I’ve been when at my worst? so what then, do nothing for fear I’ll remember what I’ve been?

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

I actually would love to be participating in real action and resistance instead of barely leaving my bed due to disability and being iced out of community by ppl who said they were my friends bc of ableism and yt supremacy 🙂

things are weird right now. just wanted to remind you they’re going to get weirder

why can't I be a formless anonymous void AND make new friends there's gotta be a way to make this work

don’t wanna get sick? hate big pharma? avoid it all with this one tool!

😷

We're gonna need a bigger existential dread.
