Made my Friday goal. Thank you all so much again. I think I’m going to take care of these bills and then not worry about my end of year goal until the weekend’s over. This has been a tremendous help—once again, thank you!

The Mutual Aid Community on these apps and irl ignore Black and Indigenous people and we're tired of it

They see our struggles and automatically normalize them in their heads

They say ''what are they doing to correct this problem?'' Rather than ''What can I do to help them?''

I tried all day yesterday to get anything to come in for them and it hasn’t I’ve tried for a week they are now late and at danger of disconnection by Dec 19th with late fees it’s now $244 plus car in danger of repossession.

Donate $50+ send receipt I’ll send nudes in dm’s.
I am trying to crowdfund for someone else who owes $129 for WiFi, their unemployment hasn’t come in, it’s been completely cut off, their utilities are in danger.

Write “For C” so I know this isn’t for me (I have my own posts up).

Still TBA but a head start would be great. Especially since I’m still trying to catch us up on needs.

Recommended for your Bandcamp Friday perusal...or anytime really
NEW TAPE!

The first in a two-part release, CHORUS is a set of seven dreamlike instrumentals, which I made up to perform at the Amour Foo Summer Party, and recorded while I was rehearsing for that performance.

Thanks for listening!

Completely unrelated, but this is an example of a particular aesthetic among white southern men that I call the perpetual 9-year-old haircut. Put this guy in a golf polo of an SEC school and he's interchangeable with the ruling class of many southern cities.

Been 7 hours since anything's come in. Am at $195/$2000. My current main concern is to pay my rent and utilities which are $760. I may have to pull out $25 of the $195 to run an errand today because it needs to be handled very soon. Please help. I don't want to sound ungrateful but this is scary! 💕💸
