We haven't had movement on this in a week. With my birthday being in four days, maybe we could get some donations?

It would help out a lot. Our goal is currently at $864/1500

covid deniers continue burying their heads in the sand but what they should be doing is going to a graveyard to count the people buried under 60 yrs old who died between 2020-now. it's a lot, covid is still killing. do something about it and wear a respirator

The fall will be worse .

Gen AI has made many people committed to minimizing and harming others , if it fails in a large way

These people will have huge moral injuries/ collapses … who do you think they take those out on

Slurmsadako MacKenzie @slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 2d

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

Liberals clutching their pearls on this site when told that not masking to protect others in essential public spaces is ableist. Instead of getting angry, they should reflect on how they can do better

A gentle reminder: If this goal is not met, we will be homeless.

I am an Indigenous person that's been through utter hell in the last two years. I am disabled and queer. Despite being marginalized, I'm the one having to carry the burden of finances. It has been extremely difficult.

Anything helps.

Happy Indigenous People’s Day, I’m a Borikén Taíno creative who is the only income and trying to keep a roof over mine and my partner’s heads.

The last almost two years have been extremely difficult, and many Indigenous people like me live below the poverty line.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

the chances are high that it is covid related. it should alarm you that most people alive right now including you will have a covid related death.
it should alarm you that long covid is the most common chronic illness among children.
it should alarm you that the US is dismantling healthcare

We’re in the middle of a mass disabling event.

Covid isn’t over and Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine in South Carolina due to a measles outbreak. Measles disables more than it kills.

All the tear gas & pepper spray?

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
