This incessant focus on employment, even for people who can potentially work, is ridiculous in my view.

The primary focus for any disabled person should be supporting them to maximise their quality of life before anything else is even considered.

I've received $25 towards a head start on next week! Appreciate it a lot!

If you'd like to chip in, great, but there are also some folks with more urgent mutual aid needs in my thread here.

My birthday is this weekend, and although I'm clear for next week, it would be great to get ahead for the week after. Can you chip in?

Still need $140. And I might need a more focused effort on boosting from everyone here because they're limiting my account on Twitter.

Still need $140!

14 people sending $10 each clears this, and I would be able to put a proper grocery order in.

If we can't do that today, can I at least get $40 for lunch and dinner for the day? 💕💸

Josh 💛⚪💜♠️ @blackice397.bsky.social · 5d

Well, the goal for the bill never got cleared, but I'm just deciding to focus on groceries for the week. Goal of $170, any help is greatly appreciated. 💸💕

October 10th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Here's an example of an update post.

It specifically thanks the person via their kofi handle or paypal initials. This tells the person that you did receive it!

It contains links should someone see the update and want to help they can immediately help.

And hashtags to get on various feeds.

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.
