Good news! We’re only $25 away from being able to get a diagnostic on our computer and pay the last of our bills for this month. 💜 Any help, including sharing, is deeply appreciated. Thank you to everyone who’s helped so far! #MutualAid #TransMutualAid #Fundraising #Crowdfunding

Our computer died Sept 26th; we finally managed to get this account back. We’ve been trying hard but we just don’t have the funds needed to cover the repair.

We’re disabled. Our computer is our lifeline, and only reliable, non-painful access to socializing, distraction, and fundraising. #MutualAid

YEP. This thread.

1. If voting didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to keep people from voting.

2. There is no perfect candidate.

3. Oftentimes you’ll find yourself voting less “for a candidate”, and more “against the other candidate”.

hheistt (semi-hiatus) @hheistt.bsky.social · 17h

reminder as we approach early voting: vote for who you would rather fight against, not who "represents" you. no electoral candidate within this system will be as radical as we need them to be, but some will put up a bigger fight/disperse your organizing energy across a wider range of issues

Yes, that includes THAT ship. And that one. Even THAT ONE.

We don’t CARE.

There’s real world stuff to worry about! Do not harass people over the fictional stuff! It’s fucking weird behavior!

Anyways love y’all, stay safe, don’t share leaks, tag spoilers, don’t like? don’t read, be kind, byeeee.

As we rapidly approach the s2 release of a Popular Animated Series, I want to take a moment to remind folks that we’re 100% ship and let ship.

IDGAF what fictional critters you want to see kiss. Good for you. Just tag your fic/art so I don’t have to see it if I don’t wanna.

Have fun! Go feral!

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

It’s bitterly ironic that a president who hollers about how trans women are evil and destroying women’s spaces… bulldozes a space that is steeped in women’s power.

19thnews @19thnews.org · 1d

The East Wing is home to the Office of the First Lady and has played a key role in women’s visibility in the White House. This week, bulldozers began to tear it down to clear the way for President Donald Trump’s $250 million ballroom.

First ladies made history in the East Wing. It was razed for Trump's ballroom.

Just a reminder that Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre’s memoir is available to preorder ahead of its October 21st release.

It’s tragic that Giuffre is no longer living, but we can help make sure her story spreads everywhere.

I don’t consider myself patriotic, and if it was “the revolution” tearing it down I probably wouldn’t care so much— because if anyone’s gonna tear down the White House, it should be the people— but seeing this tangerine tyrant ripping it apart fills me with such rage.

So fucking proud of our state senator, Merkley.

Combat Wombats @thecombatwombats.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe it’s because I live in Portland, and I’ve seen the efforts at disrupting protest, and heard the jets and the helicopters flying over and all that shit, but… The idea that the administration is just sitting back and letting these protest happen, because it doesn’t matter, is so absurd to me .

Combat Wombats @thecombatwombats.bsky.social · 1d

I’m sorry, but if you seriously think that the Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the No Kings protests, and hasn’t tried to disrupt them, then you have not been paying attention.

In what universe are the protests not making any difference?

As scary as everything is, as scary as it is to lose food stamps, I hope the Democrats don’t back down. This is too important.

We’re one of those people losing our SNAP benefits— the only reliable income we have for food. 🙃 Please please check in on loved ones. It’s about to get so much worse for a LOT of people.

Portia @portianoir.com · 2d

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food.

If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed.

We are truly all we have.

Screenshot of my post from threads:

portia.noir • › Mutual Aid 2h
If you are in a position to do so, now is a fantastic time to donate some non perishables to your local food bank.
It's also a good time to check in with people around you to see if their needs are being met, and how you can help make sure that continues.
