In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.

As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.

Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.

I know I'm showing my whole age here but remember that thrill of getting a mixtape from someone? A mix of music that they made just for you?

If you missed out on the limited edition hardcover of A MAN FOR MRS CLAUS, Cover Snob was nice enough to send to some copies to The Ripped Bodice LA for me to sign. You can buy your copy here while supplies last! 🎄❤️

This Thursday marks one year since my life was irrevocably changed. It marks one year since my brother was murdered. I’m currently trying to get enough money together for the upcoming trial but with the holidays and everything else I could use some help. Thank you so much 💜

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???
