How is it already time for next month's power bill? I just paid the last one. It was about $90. I'm not overdrafted! Just starting at the bottom of the hill again. The rock always seems bigger
Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Alice's work at Teen Vogue:

Her last post was about being laid off from Teen Vogue. Terrible.
Heartbroken to hear of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social ‘s transition to be a crip anscestor AND feeling so honored to have been alive in the time as this brilliant human, and gotten to learn from her.
May her memory continue to always be a blessing.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Insomnia strikes again! If you, too, are awake at this ungodly hour, or maybe it's a perfectly reasonable time to be awake where you are, and you happen to see this, will you please share it?
We're $1493 short for November bills that are already overdue and anything helps 💜💜

I was just laid off for the second time this year. It's going to be a hard fall and winter. My safety net, as is the case for too many of us especially these days, is the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers. Anything helps.

We're almost two weeks into November rent/utilities overdue, if I got a job today I still wouldn't be paid for awhile then we're looking at Dec bills looming up on us. You know the cycle.
I'm so grateful for all your help. We just have to keep trying. Even a quick share can make a real difference 💜
