Ok, so I suck at intros & algos. Let’s try this again. Looking for my moots: those committed to disability justice, a free Palestine, liberatory struggle, those who are trans, nonbinary, aro, ace, fat, elder Millennials, chronically ill, immunocompromised, screaming into the never-ending void…

Rent is due in just 2 days & I’m terrified of not being able to keep this roof over my family heads.💔

We’ve already been through so much loss after the genocide & I just want them to feel safe, to wake up in the same place tomorrow.

Please, help us finish this, donate if you can or simply share.

Ruba has been volunteering this whole time and trying very hard to continue her studies- she just started this fundraiser because she didn’t see any other options

Friday morning, a radio host talked about going to an event sick & said he probably infected others & that some people may have died, without shame or apology. People know what they’re doing when they don’t mask. They know the consequences. And they simply don’t give a f*ck.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

So imagine how we feel.

Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 2d

It’d be great if you wouldn’t help them by extending the benefit of the doubt, following dubious health advice, treating their side as “reasonable concerns”, and particularly and especially refusing to get vaccinated, wear masks, and clean the air.

The NYT has been nothing but a complicit propaganda rag for a VERY long time, but in the last decade they have become increasingly unmasked.

Stop giving their bootlicking bullshit clicks.

Especially now.

Azza has had a campaign for a while and been able to raise no money on it- let’s help her rebuild ❤️

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 3d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Azza. Before this Azza worked in a kindergarten and her husband owned a small coffee shop. They lost their home in the first two weeks of the war. They are trying to survive with their children Nisreen, 16, Layan, 14 and Ibrahim, 11.

As the days pass, the worry of rent and food remains what weighs on me the most — just to keep my children safe and stable.😓
We’ve come this far thanks to your kind hearts.
Please, help me secure one more month of peace and stability for them.🙏

I ask you, from my heart — be part of this step. ❤️

Every father dreams of giving his children safety —
but for me, safety means a roof that won’t disappear tomorrow. 🏠💔

We’re short on this month’s rent — $500 needed before the 15th —and without it, my children will have nowhere to sleep in peace.

Your kindness can be our shelter this month. 🙏❤️

I made the mistake of getting scented laundry detergent this time. I literally had the thought while picking it out, maybe this time it won’t bother me. Friends, I was wrong. I was so wrong.

J 😷🇵🇸(they/them) @impossibleblossom.bsky.social · 4d

The last three books I’ve read have had pretty horrible fatphobia in them. One is a book beloved by many that was recommended to me. And no matter how good the rest of the book is, the fatphobia ruins it for me. More authors moved to my do-not-read list.

In the same way, every donation you give revives our days — it brings food, warmth, and a little peace to our small home.💔

We’ve known for years that many viruses are oncogenic in nature… there’s ample evidence to suggest Covid is as well.

Yet another reason to wear a good quality mask like an N95, get boosted, clean the air and keep fighting for paid time off & better mitigations!

Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · 5d

With every new variant
with every new wave
there are warnings
of which new symptoms
you need to watch for,
and yet
with every new variant
with every new wave
the main symptom
you need to watch for
is everyone around you
insisting that they
just have a weird cold.
