I’m going to need to move by the end of October and have no real prospects or savings. I hate to ask but I have no idea what I’m even going to be able to do short-term until I have some resources saved up. Please, if you’re able, could you help with a donation?

(birthday in two days if matters 🤣)

While I have food now, I’m broke with no income and I am going to be hard pressed to come up with any money to put towards rent or anything else. I’ve just been treading water for a year.

Please, if anyone can help my payment links are in my bio. Uber credit also helps💕💸💸💕

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

People don’t get that the Salvation Army is an evangelical church. Not a religiously-affiliated organization, it is itself a right-wing evangelical church. They’re pieces of shit who love to discriminate and promote it.

When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

Absolutely. Everything they say about his good health is entirely and obviously falsified. Let’s not forget the letter he dictated to the doctor in term 1.

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

The entire political establishment is devoted to protecting Donald Trump from impeachment. It can’t EVER happen.

We need to reckon with how our culture is so pervasively right-wing that we aren’t even aware of all of our biases. Same for Christianity.
