Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.

They say the war is over... but the pain inside me hasn’t ended.
The bombs may have stopped falling, but the struggle is far from over.
I'm Sakher — a young man who lost everything in this war.
My home… gone. My memories, my work, my future all destroyed

I’m Reem, from Gaza. The war may be over, but we still live in the middle of its ashes. I was a college student. I was studying, dreaming and planning a life of hope but I lost everything in my home. My family’s livelihood has been erased💔😭

VENUS (£10/175 for HRT related bills) 💖🤍💜🖤💙 @thevenussystem.bsky.social · 14h

Boosting this. I still need a lot of help with this. I've put in the order for the HRT, once I get the receipt I will adjust my goal to be more accurate, but in the mean time, any amount would go directly to paying for my HRT for the next 3 months!

VENUS (£10/175 for HRT related bills) 💖🤍💜🖤💙 @thevenussystem.bsky.social · 2d

I hate to ask for help, always makes me uncomfortable... But I've got big bills coming soon. HRT is approaching rapidly, and I know that'll be £100, plus GenderGP's subscription just came out.

I need to ask for £130. Please can anyone help?

So... bad news. I've recalculated my needs. The bill is through. The HRT ALONE is £130, plus the £30 for my GenderGP subscription and the £15 Referral...

I need £175 to cover this, I am so sorry... Please help if you can!

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻

I don't think anybody who is engaged with individuals and families is ready to party yet. When the peace is felt on the ground, then we can celebrate a little. Until then, let's keep the trophy in the display case. My friend Ahmad is still alive. Let's keep him alive together.

a glasses chain folded in half and then lay on a white surface in a spiral shape. the beads are all shapes and sizes and a variety of pink and purple shades. they do have an order which is a string of five different beads and then a much larger bead. the five beads stay the same each time but the large bead alternates between a large very dark pink/purple cube bead and a soft pink round bead. the five beads in between are a 6mm pink round bead, a 4mm clear bicone bead, a 4mm purple cube, a 4mm round pink bead and a 6mm dark violet rondelle bead.

these are just absolutely eye catching and so dreamy. truly gorgeous

Screenshot of text that says: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing

Screenshot of text that says: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love
