Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

$25 would be enough to at least get this sweater which is on sale right now.

I would just like you to know that I bullied one of my partners into getting one of these. And I am considering bullying him into getting another one for broken rice.

I mean, that sounds like a great bagel order actually though. Also, I know it’s only like low to medium fancy but I really miss Florida caviar. which happens to be also extremely excellent on potato chips.

I mean I love @stealingfromwizards.com for being a great author of wizard school magic stories and a cool creator and cosplayer in general and a really cool human but also this

Ryan Consell @stealingfromwizards.com · 1d

Due to the actions of *other authors*, it is again necessary to reiterate that Stealing from Wizards is trans-inclusively queer friendly.

Shouldn't have to say it, but apparently we do.

I really should try to save up for these because then I could actually make that mango crisp. I’ve been threatening to make instead of just talking about experimenting with it.

$45 means I get to be warm and clean and not sick about it if anyone is able to help with that

D is tired, but there is coffee @grrlintersect.bsky.social · 15h

I need to buy a new sweater before it gets cold and also some of the unscented detergent that doesn’t give me migraines and $45 would be enough for both if anyone is able to help

I think they do not but also store brands seem to be better about this then name brands in my experience. It’s been a minute, but I remember the Winn-Dixie and Aldi ones being particularly good.

It was in an article about protests and whether/when to share information with organizers so I don’t think so. But really my response to reading that phrase was just to close that tab entirely.

I just saw the phrase,”people who identify as marginalized” and y’all I do not have patience for whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean today.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

A lot of this is what's being discussed by authors in my circle. Glad that, unlike so many other articles on the fandom to trad pub pipeline, it acknowledges that fandom is a deeply queer space but trad pub isn't interested in that part of it. at all.

I don't know what adult fantasy fiction you're reading, but over here in marginalized voices land, fantasy is doing incredible things. Stunning narrative styles and structures, intriguing characters, powerful themes. This feels like a you problem than anything indicative of the genre as a whole.

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

Something I mention in the newsletter that I’m going to pull out here:

In here, I mention a couple that I know locally here in the Denver area. They are both disabled artists; they have an RV at the moment, but the RV needs electrical repairs and does not have functioning heat.
