i find it intriguing tho how y’all hold black people to extremely high moral standards while leaving room for the people you’re ”defending” at their expense to be extremely flawed.

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.

Happy Friday all! Here’s our Mutual Aid 💸💞 thread for the week of Oct. 3
Post requests/updates here for a boost 🙂

Halloweeeen 🎃 🧙🏻‍♀️🧝🏾‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️🧟‍♀️🥷🏻🦸🏾🧑🏿‍🍳👻

When in doubt, ask yourself-
What would Geordi say 🖖🏾

Same 2 paneled Geordi/Drake meme

This time the No panel reads: “Reconciliation & Healing”

The Yes panel reads:
“Motherfucking Consequences”

Same Geordi/Drake meme:

The text for the No panel reads,
“Do not comply in advance" for 3 reasons:
"bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later."

The text for the Yes panel reads, "Fuck you, make me" and compares the 3 reasons:
"leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner."

Ah, didn't see someone else already took Link's role. Thank you!

I will try to repost everyone's direct aid asks in both threads as best I can.

Here's mine:

I am trying to save up as a deafblind woman to move from a small city with a poor bus system to a bigger city with a better transit system. I would like to regain my independence.

Anything helps.

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

We are meant to fall through these cracks by design. It's eugenicist. The cruelty is the point.

I'm raising my infant nephew after a long (+ expensive) court process & NICU stay. Already have custody of my sister's other kids.

I'm doing this solo, no family support or community irl. We depend on WIC, SNAP, & mutual aid to get by. Any little bit helps.

The emotional vibe completely shifts today when the Moon enters Gemini and conjuncts Uranus. We are up for something completely different and open to new possibilities. #astrology
