It’s world mental health day and Indigenous peoples’ day on Monday. You know what helps with mental health? Making sure that basic needs are met, that we are protected and safe and that we have the tools we heed to thrive. Right now I have none of these things and I live in terror daily.

Multiply disabled heart patient in need of support!

$700 rent weekly, due 11AM Sundays
$300 monthly bills (phone, storage)

Please help if you can? I cannot survive the street AT ALL- need hygiene and privacy to eat and sleep.

Hey! I'm Falco! (He/him, xey/xem)

I'm a queer, Autistic heart patient struggling to stay housed. My disabilities mean I need careful hygiene to eat or sleep, so if I lose my room I cannot survive!

Hotel's summer rate is currently $700/week, and I owe about $250 monthly for storage and phone.

I'd be honored if you would sponsor me on Patreon for $3 - $20 per month, for sneak peeks at new art, requests, and exclusive coloring mandalas.

Or you can snag fun merch at FalcoSkyWolf.Redbubble.com! Over 200 of my designs on dozens of garments, accessories, and home and tech items. Undercover Dragons, Pride art, and a wide mix of mandalas!

But the fastest way to help is donating through PayPal or CashApp, and I also take commissions for mandalas and text art. DM if you'd like custom designs!

Please help if you can!

(Background- extremely dark purple, with some simplified coins on top and pale blue feathers on bottom.)

I'm a very pale transmasc with long brown hair, part in a braid over my right shoulder, the rest loose down my left. I'm in a black winter sleeveless vest and a black fedora with an orange flicker feather, with thin blue spectacles, a blue and purple heavy-duty respirator, a silver ankh necklace, a dog-tag style necklace with Captain America's shield, and a black chain bracelet with a metal TARDIS (resembles a British phone-booth-like police call box) and a safety pin that has rainbow and trans pride beads on it. Behind me is a fuzzy blue blanket.

I need to be safe, keep others safe and be able to evacuate quickly if necessary, which will already take nonexistent spoons and resources to be able to do.

I’m not safe online either. Cf shamers, some of whom used fake profiles to infiltrate my communities in order to cause mistrust and make false claims about me and others, further isolating me. Anxiety has been even more severe than usual, cptsd too. Am under daily stress & not safe.

Thanks to an invading force coming from…within the imaginary borders of the country I was born and raised in, all because many of my ancestors were born on the other side of said imaginary border and because I look like my mom and grandma, I know I’m not safe either from targeting.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

I have also been turned down for every WFH job I’ve applied for, once again, severely limiting my earning abilities. My only source of income is by selling my art, crafted items and music. Please consider supporting my small business or at least sharing it, even if you can’t buy something! Thanks!

Judge Sara Ellis' opinion in IL v. Trump is an absolute banger:

www.courtlistener.com/docket/71559...

The Court therefore must make a credibility assessment as to which version of the facts
should be believed. While the Court does not doubt that there have been acts of vandalism, civil
disobedience, and even assaults on federal agents, the Court cannot conclude that Defendants’
declarations are reliable. Two of Defendants’ declarations refer to arrests made on September 27,
2025 of individuals who were carrying weapons and assaulting federal agents. See Doc. 62-2 at
19; Doc. 62-4 at 5. But neither declaration discloses that federal grand juries have refused to
return an indictment against at least three of those individuals, which equates to a finding of a
lack of probable cause that any crime occurred. See United States v. Ray Collins and Jocelyne
Robledo, 25-cr-608, Doc. 26 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 7, 2025); United States v. Paul Ivery, 25-cr-609
(N.D. Ill.). In addition to demonstrating a potential lack of candor by these affiants, it also calls
into question their ability to accurately assess the facts. Similar declarations were provided by
these same individuals in Chicago Headline Club et. al. v. Noem, 25-cv-12173, Doc. 35-1, Doc.
35-9 (N.D. Ill.), a case which challenged the Constitutionality of ICE’s response to protestors at
the Broadview ICE Processing Center. In issuing its TRO against DHS Secretary Kristi Noem,
the court in that case found that the plaintiffs would likely be able to show that ICE’s actions
have violated protestors’ First Amendment right to be free from retaliation while engaged in
newsgathering, religious exercise, and protest, and Fourth Amendment rights to be free from
excessive force. Id. at Doc. 43. Although this Court was not asked to make any such finding, it
does note a troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of
appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning,
