I CAN'T Donate

ChristelAdina @christeladina.bsky.social · Jan 10

DON'T put #MA posts in my mentions, replies, or DMs!

I have very limited energy & NO money!

*I* choose who I boost. Inundating me begging for money I don't have, especially when we don't follow each other/have never interacted, gets you blocked!

Please STOP!

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

gonna be live working on rig today if it kills me/trying to finish YCH cups. I truly need help w/ these bills until I get into this housing program where I'll be able to be self sufficient to a much higher degree. Just have to get thru Nov. $1 adds up, $5 is better. Any is good. #MAV #Helpsky 💸❤️

Also, for "ridiculous," "intense," "something that defies logic," and/or a myriad of other terms. There are far better words that are far less ableist.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media.

The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters.

They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters.

Israel is once again breaking international law

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Experimenting with a new concept using @queermedieval.bsky.social’s Portland Frog woodcut. Embracing goofiness as protest.

A poster in green ink on off white paper. In the center is a woodcut style illustration of a protester wearing an inflatable frog costume standing up against two ICE agents. The text above and below reads:

One of those days where I feel like I typed the wrong words to help. Mahmoud’s wife has a baby on the way and they have two small kids- they’ve lost literally everything- any help is appreciated

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud was a computer engineer doing web development before this. He’s lost his job and home (and many coworkers) and is in a tent with his family including his children Zeina, 6 and Zane, 2. His wife Malak is 7 months pregnant.

fascism is stealing my spoons & my sleep every second - even when I'm actively distracting from it - so my ever-escalating lack of function gets faster

Maybe dissociating while playing The Vampire Lestat trailer over & over on a loop all weekend will help?

We are at $644/$3000 (our first goal, to help James recoup most of the money they've already spent on his care). Thank you all so much!

I didn't know GFM has a $5 minimum - to send a smaller donation, hit up the link below & put "for James" in the note - I'll add it to the total.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
