Y'all, I'm asking for help for a member of my community to not be on the street when they've got a job in hand, and need to stay housed so they can start and keep that job.

I've seen folks help people with a last minute save, and Briggsy needs one today.

Briggsy @briggsy.blacksky.app · 4d

I’m begging.

I only have until today. If I don’t pay $1880, I’m on the street. I have a job, Ii start soon, and I don’t want to be homeless on my birthday. 😞

Please. I’m almost out of this; I don’t want to lose everything.

Go to paypal.me/Briggsycakes and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Let's keep showing them how profoundly irritating we can be, because they have an easy out. It's right there!

Source familiar with MasterCard‘s internal workings: The company finds the censorship focus from consumers “profoundly irritating“ amid larger political issues — they want the controversy around paypros censorship to quietly disappear

i finally remade my cmm form (after accidentally deleting it in a very stupid way) so it's open for applications again~ forms.gle/gvG3WzFXQp4fSBNh7
however, I have a HUGE backlog after my long and busy trip (also still a bit sick) so the form is currently in a waitlist mode for early-mid November

Until SNAP is funded, here’s an ongoing list of Bay Area restaurants where SNAP recipients can receive free food. Just bring your EBT card!

COYOTE @coyotemedia.org · 7d

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients

Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

I started donating to my local food bank and I encourage yall, if you can spare it, to please do the same.

The next few months are going to be crucial. Our government is happily abdicating its responsibility to govern in order to force misery and a violent reaction.

This is all on the GOP.

Mikki Kendall @karnythia.bsky.social · 8d

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I would really love to be the kind of writer whose characters care deeply and passionately about things and make choices from that deep passion; unfortunately, I have somehow not yet figured out how to do that effectively

Characterization remains the weak link, but that's because characterization is always going to be the weak link in anything I write; at least the STORY is hanging together

I understand people who are wary of having their posts searched on and mobbed by people with an axe to grind, but it does mean that the acronyms and censored words and euphemisms turn my everyday scroll into a decryption puzzle

One of my favorite little roleplaying things is when our displaced early modern guys call hormones and neurotransmitters 'the new humors'--like, oh, it's a liquid in the body that affects your temperament, I know what that is, which star sign is associated with serotonin
