this has been stalled just shy of $1200 for three days can we get some $25 donations for Chris" license? #MutualAid #UrgentNeed #BlackCrowdFund 💸 💕
One of those $25 pledges of the 200 needed to get this done was Eb, who takes care of me in ways y'all never hear about because she knows my disability keeps me housebound. She gets me to and from the airport. That's my ride or die, just like paypal.me/ApolloMan $BlackGodSyrus or venmo @cejohnson077
Pay Christopher Johnson using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/ApolloMan and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Useful to note given the cries that AI is “inevitable” and “revolutionary” that maybe tech bros aren’t the best at understanding the future beyond their myopia.
Meanwhile, bikes still in use and even transformative as more cities adopt true bike paths.
Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

Loooook.
All right, tonight's inventory selections.

Today's feature is a masterwork, a necklace built around an extraordinary Sksytone with fabulous beads [shown below].

We have three other necklaces set solely with turquoise on turquoise strands.

TN05 in the general is even more potentially doable so tomorrow we get up and start working for Chaz Molder to win 335 days from now. We rest and we keep building. We hit up d7 backers to phone bank and stuff envelopes and even go knock doors since 5 is part of the same city. We do not quit.

Get a woman out of detention + reunited with her child with this neat trick – post her bond. Go Fund Me is halfway there. Kick in a few bucks if you have?

Happy Holidays!

[Don't worry that she's anonymous. Lydia Kiesling is rock solid re: local work in Portland. $ is being handled by her lawyers.]
A mom in Portland has been separated from her child since June bc ICE kidnapped her. The only thing standing between her & her baby right now is a $7,500 bond. There's 5k to go. PLEASE let's do this.

The best way to navigate this is to BUILD AN ACCESSIBLE WORLD. This kills me, and in many/most situations isn't that hard, it shifts the burden of effort where it belongs (on institutions, away from people), and THERE IS NOT CHEATING.
The world just works for more people.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

All right, we need sales for so-called Cyber Monday, but there a lot of local folks with much more urgent needs.

First, my friend, who still needs to raise $400 for car repairs; explanatory thread here: bsky.app/profile/wing....
Okay, another local emergency.

Disclosure: This is also a friend, and believe me, if I had $500 to spare, I'd just give it to her. Unfortunately, I don't.
