A NHS nurse was told that this background image on a Teams call was “potentially antisemitic” and cause for disciplinary action.

NOPE . as your online auntie don’t you ever

You fight circumstances, fight misunderstandings, hell god and the elements but the minute you have to fight for love

DIP

That means there is a winner and a loser

And nobody who puts you in that situation intends to lose

So they want you to

Usually when you are asked to “fight” for a relationship ….

Someone wants to force a condition where they manufacture consent for you to be treated worse

NOPE

Some dork who's never had any training for water rescue

Drowning people are not "trying to drown you" they are panicking and they are in water. They are trying to climb you like a ladder. Lifeguards are trained to deal with this and will rescue you anyway!

Yup this is 100% where most of the real Gazan scams are

Oh hey, it’s the weekly new reason to not use substack

Toss it on the pile

(please stop using substack im begging you, I’m on my knees here [im not on my knees I’m actually sitting on a bedside])

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

CHRONICALLY ILL, MULTIPLY DISABLED, MOSTLY HOUSE- & BEDBOUND MAD, AUDHD, CRIP, QUEER, AGENDER, MALAYALEE MOTHER & STUDENT URGENTLY NEEDS ONGOING COMMUNITY CARE

HI! I'M DEVI AND I'M A QUEER. AGENDER. MULTIPLY DISABLED, CHRONICALLY ILL, MAD, AUDHD, CRIP MALAYALEE. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA, MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, DYSAUTONOMΙΑ, COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTIONING, LONG COVID, BIPOLAR DISORDER WITH CHRONIC DEPRESSION, COMPLEX PTSD, DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS, ADHD, AND I'M AUTISTIC. I USE A ROLLATOR WALKER, I'M A WHEELCHAIR USER, AND I'M RECEIVING CARE FROM A HOME HEALTH AIDE. I AM THE PRIMARY PARENT TO TWO CHILDREN - A TRANS SON WHO IS AUDHD, HAS DYSAUTONΟΜΙΑ, AND POSSIBLY MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYELITIS, AND A YOUNG ONE WHO IS AUDHD. MY NESTING PERSON HAS LONG COVID AND IS CHRONICALLY FATIGUED.

WE ARE SEEKING ONGOING COMMUNITY CARE AS WE NAVIGATE EMERGENCY AFTER EMERGENCY - NONE WHICH WE WERE PREPARED FOR AND HAVE BEEN BARELY GETTING BY SO FAR THANKS TO COMMUNITY. MY NESTING PARTNER AND I ARE GENERATIONAL CYCLEBREAKERS - WE ARE TRAUMA AND ABUSE SURVIVERS. I SURVIVED CHILD ABUSE, CSA, SA, NEGLECT, BULLYING, MEDICAL TRAUMA, PSYCHIATRIC TRAUMA, AND INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE. I WAS INITIALLY DISABLED DUE TO TRAUMATIC VIOLENCE AS A CHILD, AND THEN WAS FURTHER DISABLED DUE TO OTHER EXPERIENCES.

WITH ONGOING COMMUNITY CARE, IN ADDITION TO OUR CURRENT RESOURCES, CONTINUAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT WILL ALLOW US TO REMAIN IN OUR HOME, CATCH UP ON UTILITIES AND OTHER BILLS, COMPLETELY REPAIR OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND AFFORD NECESSITIES LIKE MEDICINE, APPOINTMENTS, GROCERIES, ETC. I CAME OUT TO SOME FAMILY AND I'VE BEEN DISOWNED, SO WE NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MATERIAL SUPPORT FROM THEM AND IF WE LOSE HOUSING WHICH WE ARE IN DANGER OF WE HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS TO KEEP US HOUSED. PLEASE AT THE VERY LEAST SHARE!

"We received notice that due to being behind two months, we're at risk of foreclosure if it's not paid by June 30th ... we've been able to pay off some past due bills and ordered the brakes and rotors for our only mode of transportation which is now too dangerous to drive"

They will just move the goal posts again, like they keep doing. They went from "come here legally" to arresting people who were trying to do that exact same thing real fast.

I repeat: One of the most fundamental lessons of intersectionality is that when competing alliances exist, so many will pick their empowered (Whiteness here) identity over any marginal identity they possess because choosing to stand with the disenfranchised requires sacrificing their privilege.

Gonna go ahead and say this for tomorrow:

1) so not sign up/RSVP for anything relating to or at a protest.

2) you absolutely so not have to hand it to Gavin Newsom, he’s just doing the basics, his past is trash and he’s trying to use this to become president.

Starve us

Please consider supporting a Korean & Indian family with ongoing community care so they don't have to return to an unsafe, abusive living situation with a homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc. person!

They are mostly house- and bedbound and presently working with their treatment team to get a wheelchair and a home health aide.

My paper art “Diwata vs The Machine”. Diwata in Philippine myth is a term for nature spirits on Earth. The vibrant, warm & breathing force of Diwata is juxtaposed against the homogeneous hegemony of fascism — cold, artificial, violent & empty.

R Aquarii in the background with a QR code to the website laying on top. A small anito statue lays in the bottom left corner gazing upon the star with the text "Happy Lunar New Year" in Baybayin lining the bottom of the image. The main text reads, "February commissions are open for tarot and art".

Slots for February are now open 🌑

YALL BETTER SHOW UP FOR THIS AND WISH BESTIE BUSH A HABBY BURDAY ((date and time provided in original post🌱))

You mean to tell me I’m a strategic liability???

Do you know the president had secrets in the bathroom of his house… By the toilet????

lol bye 🏃🏽🎒💨

An important life skill they should teach in schools is being able to stop doubling down. To learn what it feel like to think and then say "woah yeah you're right, what I said was fucked up"

A collage tinted green of photos from the 2024 Lunar New Year parade in Chinatown. With a QR code linking to my website and text, "January slots are open for tarot & art".

It's a bit late, but I'm open for January commissions 💌
