We can't wait for the end of the month to distribute supplies with this weather and a possible storm on the way, so we'll be putting together emergency bags to bring to the camps tomorrow. It's a great time to buy some stuff off the list! Humans can't survive in -12° without supplies!

The free store serves a community that is neglected by current city/state resources. More than 2/3 of the folks who attend don't have access to *any* government social services due to things like lack of an address & past drug felonies. The supplies y'all help buy are some of the only aid they get.

Alright. The post is fixed, with a working link to the updated items we need for the free store. Even if you can't buy anything off the list today, save it for when you have a few extra bucks & want to give back, & please share the wishlist link anywhere you can! We're out of basically everything 😬

It's 24° out and I just saw two people walk by wrapped in blankets that you sweet folks bought off my wishlist. Don't let the 24 hour news cycle make the world feel so big that you forget that you can make a very real difference, just by choosing to be kind.

I run a free store and harm reduction supply for my neighborhood, and this year for the holidays, I've made a wish list to restock our dwindling winter supplies. Spoil me by helping me keep my neighbors safe and warm this very cold winter 💖

A great way to do *something* is donating money. Please consider sacrificing the tax write-off from donating to formal charities, who spend a large amount of the money paying staff, and try donating instead to local mutual aid efforts, which are almost entirely volunteer run.

'he beat, choked and stomped her, then repeatedly raped her at the prison'

“He bragged that he was ‘divine’ and ‘untouchable. He told her that no one would believe her because she was a criminal and he was a ‘priest and a federal officer"

This is a common issue, unfortunately.

A big problem is that once you question some of these rescue orgs, you're immediately painted as being pro pedophile, pro sex trafficking, etc.

Shutting down criticism before it really gets started opens doors for misinformation & grifters.

Amazon workers worldwide are striking today through Monday. You don't need same day delivery on little plastic crap badly enough to cross the digital picket line, I promise. Workers of the world, unite!

As if my TBR list wasn’t long enough already! 😂 I mean, thank you but DANG IT!
