I..... I just found out that I'm likely about to be homeless soon......

My landlord MASSIVELY jacked up the rent out of nowhere

Please, stop ignoring this goal, help me complete it before the end of the month, I'm terrified......

Realized I undershot how much I should've set the moving goal to, I've bumped it up

Being disabled and having to move countries comes with a lot of fees I didn't consider

So here's the updated goal to flee my old country to move in with @sophiecapefox.bsky.social

hey everyone!! I'm starting a new dayjob after nearly 6 months of unemployment. I'm lucky to be in a position where I can get back on my feet but my savings are totally drained and this month is going to be tight. it's hard to ask but any little bit you could give would be a massive help.

I’m behind on spectrum bills and they just cut our internet service.

Since this wouldn’t go towards the moving fund, I’m posting my ko-fi and not the gofundme. Anything helps.

Washington State residents: they’re trying to pull online age verification bullshittery here too. This bill would require people to upload their ID/credit card to view online adult content. You can complain to your reps here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

Screenshot of the long text of my donation post which reads "Help a trans couple in the new year

So back on December 19th, of 2025 my partner and I were displaced from out apartment due to threats of violence by our new neighbor in the building we live in. He hurled transphobic and just general bigoted threats at us and others as well as having and openly carrying a firearm he said he would kill whomever called the police on him. We spent 2 days in a hotel costing us over $400, after that we managed to have a place to stay but we had left with nothing on us when we fled. We had to gut all of the money we had and even with donation help we are struggling as we were before this entire incident. Rent, Bills, and food are all things we need money for now and unfortunately due to laws in our area the tenant in question is only on "Final Notice" this is against both our wishes and the landlords but its local law. We feel unsafe and our holidays have been wrought with financial burden, fear, and family death and medical problems. Any and all help you can spare to help a struggling queer couple recover and survive would be greatly appreciated.

Calling is better if you can swing it, but if you're phone shy here's a slightly augmented script I made for faxing/emailing/etc (feel free to steal in alt text).

Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...

As one of your constituents, I’m calling on you to demand you condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and you must speak out about this.

I am also calling on you to:  1. Speak plainly about this to your constituents. You can acknowledge the Maduro regime’s abuses AND recognize this as an unlawful extraterritorial detention,

2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration,   3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation,

4. Demand an immediate classified briefing for the Gang of Eight.   What happened tonight will have ramifications across the world in the days, weeks and months to come, and we need answers and action taken.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.

You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.

You do nothing? You get nothing.

Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.
