A Black Trans woman who’s the sole care-taker of her Autistic brother is asking for help with bills after losing her job. She’ll be able to bounce back but behind on water and electric bills. If we each give $1 she’ll reach her goal. We’ve helped 166 people so far let’s keep going.

like i'll listen to hours of his lectures and just feel overwhelmed not having the sources to fact check just a general sense of "yeah that tracks" instead. and that's not enough <\3 maybe i just yearn for university

wish i enjoyed professor jiang lectures so bad but without constantly citing specific studies or anything they just put my brain in "sure i guess" mode. even though 90% of what he says fits my worldview already, if it's not adding to my tbr, i'm not deeping anything being said fr

The Jamaican Government has set up a portal for people wanting to provide support supportjamaica.gov.jm

This is the situation at one of the private hospitals in Kingston, a location far less affected than other parts of the island. Many people and places are facing much more damage. #Melissa

Also I just wanna say if you are on other apps and white ppl are making it seem as if Jamaica will be wiped off the map, please ignore them..... yes it will be a damaging hurricane. Yes we will have a lot of work to do afterwards.

Most of these people are excited for an extinction event.

And remember both Haiti and Jamaica have relatively modest greenhouse gas emissions. They didn't cause this shit - we did - but they have to bear the consequences.

like summer sexyy and sza can go on and on romanticizing abusive men but it's not going to feed the rise of fascism the way taylor singing about having a street of white babies will it's like. more than just 'girls are allowed to be pathetic sometimes'

jia 🤍 @heartkiss.bsky.social · 5d

also to complete my thesis? summer walker and sexyy red and (unfortunately) sza (sorry girl you too) are in the same boat as taylor and sabrina and lana and them 😭 i just don't think women out here want to emulate their relationships so their art/message doesn't have the same ammo in the culture war

as a note, food banks need money, not canned goods

Sarah Tuttle @niais.bsky.social · 6d

In one week, food aid is going to run out if the federal government is still shutdown. 1 in 10 Americans will not get paid they rely on in November, like SNAP. Please give to local food banks now, if you are able. Look into local groups that are providing meals and things like diapers. This is bad.
