Day 3 of this CF and STILL NO FUCKING DONATIONS!

Like, I honestly don't know if I'm getting ignored, or if things have really gotten tight for other people. Either way, it's been frustrating as hell going this long without a single donation. 💕💸

October 8th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.
