Here's where I’m at with the disability process. This is the tracker from the SSA website. I’m in the most difficult part of this process because I’m also close to extinguishing my unemployment benefits. And that’s not much to begin with, just a little under $225 a week. 🧵 #mutualaidrequest

Hey folks - I’m at the end of the month and need to ask for help with rent again. Still looking for work, and I’m on a razor’s edge with my landlord after being so far in the hole. If there’s any way you can help us out, I could really use the assistance.

Hello there! This is my face! I’m starting to feel a little more like myself again. However, I’m in a crappy situation since I haven’t gotten my unemployment benefits yet and my rent and car payments are still due. Right now I need about $1000 to get back above water. Link below. #mutualaid

Finished it. Loved it. Want to stay in that world for a whole series of books. Thanks for that literary equivalent of a cup of perfect hot chocolate! 🫶🏼

This is a couple months old but I'm one chapter in and want to keep this story around to reread again and again.

It's gotta be around there somewhere, right? Maybe under that one stack, or mixed in with all this...

Take one nervous newbie LT, one PO who's a master of her job, & one commander who has to wrangle both of them - mix in a grudge match of a sports competition and a dangerous drug mystery for the #NeoG adventure that's been called "queer AF" "competence porn" & "found family fun."

100% this! 🤣💛

I'm in a really bad place right now physically, mentally and financially. My rent is late, bills are due, and I'm barely able to sit upright today. Please share this post and help out if you can. gofund.me/e0640a1e

Unless the compromise is we get to live our damn lives and transphobes can fuck off I don't see what there is to discuss.

Morning neighbors!
In numbers that mean absolutely zip, zilch, zero in the grand scheme of the world I am 2 followers away from 6k. 😅

I write queer space operas, talk about politics, cats, video games, & whatever else my brain latches onto. Give me a follow (you can always change your mind later)

Drizzt has joined his siblings in the afterlife, and I am bereft.

Tomorrow is my last day at city hall! I've worked there since the end of 2015, so nearly a decade. I'm not sure what happens next, but I am absolutely sure I'm making the right move.

IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT THE SAVE ACT!

🧵

H.R. 22 “SAVE Act” | Amended & Passed U.S. House – April 10, 2025

H.R. 22 is a mass deportation bill masquerading as an election integrity bill.

I know that feeling! I looked like an electrocuted raccoon during that period.

IDGAF if they're "real" direwolves or not. They're something new in a world that's increasingly less full of animals of any kind. They're goddamn adorable squishy baby floofy howly bois and when they get big we'll teach them to hunt down and eat billionaires, the way Darwin intended. Let us love them. Let us train them. Let us get them all roly poly chubby on the blood of the oppressors. They are dire wolves if we teach them to be. 15/10, no notes.

The local election didn't go the way I hoped. This may be the beginning of the end for the things I do for this town.

When The Onion headlines sound like a good idea....

So have you figured it out yet? Hilary should have been locked up forever for using a private server, but Pete Hegseth doesn't need to be bothered with basic opsec. The stock market is very important when a Democrat is in office but not when it's Trump. Recessions under Democratic leadership deserve revolutions, but economic collapse under Trump is good, akshually. Black people should be executed for doing drugs but fentanyl-addled white kids are vulnerable and deserve a break. Every liberal is a pedo rapist but actual pedo rapists (who are mostly if not entirely right-wing) are simply never to be spoken of again. Abortion is evil unless it's your underage daughter knocked up by a black guy. Someone who advocates race war on campus is a free speech warrior; someone who advocates ending genocide on campus is a terrorist. Boycotting beer for having LGBTQ spokespeople is good; boycotting Tesla because Elon Musk is a Nazi fuck is terrorism. White Christians are good and everyone else is bad. Liberal Jews secretly control the banks, but Netanyahu is our good friend in Israel. Education is vital but only if it teaches white Christian children exactly what we want them to know and nothing else, and teaches other people's children to be obedient and work hard. Burning cars is evil but shooting schoolkids is the price of freedom. Feeding poor people is socialism, but subsidizing useless farms and corporations is good business. The working class is to be fetishized, but not if they organize. My immigrant ancestors were decent, hardworking folks; all immigrants who came here since are lazy criminals looking for a handout.

Guns are a sacred right for white straight Christian Republicans; everyone else with a gun is an unhinged leftist or a criminal. All black people are criminals, all brown people, and they all want to rape white women and put them in burkhas instead of modest denim dresses in the kitchen, the way God wants them to be. Do you understand? There's no hypocrisy here. Anything conservative white Christian Americans do and want is good and anything anyone else does or wants is evil. Equality is when conservative white Christian men are allowed to dictate terms to everyone else, and everyone else knows their place. They're not hypocrites. They're supremacists. You're the fool for believing you're as good as they are or that you have or deserve the same access to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness that they are. There's no debate because there's no logic. It's like debating a six year old over who won a playground game. They win because they win, right or wrong. If they lose, they win. You always lose. It's always a zero sum game. There's no compromise. They get what they want and you get what they want. Until you decide not to allow that, America will continue to be a failed state.

I posted an update on my GFM, because I still haven't gotten to my goal, but I was hoping I didn't need to. Well, turns out, I need to. Longer explanation in a post on the page. Please share, I'd appreciate it.

DOGE’s Cuts at the USDA Could Cause US Grocery Prices to Rise and Invasive Species to Spread Thousands of US Department of Agriculture employees, including food inspectors and disease-sniffing dog trainers, remain out of work, leaving food to rot in ports and pests to proliferate.
