The reason for the GoFundMe is to buy a used mobile home (even those start at $85k in these 3counties!) & put it on land friends will rent to me until I die.
(Mobile home parks are too loud + are being bought up by #PrivateEquity jacking up the lot rent to unaffordable levels ‼️)

This comment is obtuse on so many levels 🤦🏻‍♀️

Donia 🖖 ♾️ ♿️ @ethyricalartist.bsky.social · 2d

I literally said “It’s not for everyone.”

I simply advocated for ppl to do some reading (or even watch vids from edu creators like Chill Polyamory if you don’t like reading) to see if it might be.

The ETHICAL part of it is that everyone involved is enthusiastically participating, not pressured. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Either that or if you still really love each other, read up on polyamory. Not enough ppl understand the ethical loving relationships that are possible if you stop believing the religious brainwashing that monogamy is the only way to live. It’s not for everyone, but it’s def for a lot of asexual ppl!

Reminder that if you are interacting with law enforcement in Illinois, this IS a stop and ID state. Also, aside from identifying yourself and asking if you're free to leave, the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement, state or federal, is:

My cat & I are now living in a loud motel where I have to keep the blinds shut for any privacy. Effectively a windowless box that’s not big enough for my wheelchair to maneuver & I have to crawl to the bathroom. 🆘

I OFFICIALLY CALL BLUESKY USERS TO DO A MUTUAL AID / DIRECT SUPPORT POSTER'S STRIKE.

No content except things that directly support marginalized people.

Flood the site with the people Jay would love to forget she is personally killing.

And nothing else.

Yes to ALL of this - ppl say they want community & to “resist” yet put things like “I block Mutual Aid accounts” etc in their profiles & regularly use ableist language to “rile” the fascists. All done w/o irony / self-awareness that they’re perpetuating the same norms they’re supposedly “resisting.”

People want someone else to fix all the problems at once and / or to tell them what to do. But we need to help each other in any way we can, even if it seems insignificant! 🖖

You could help a vulnerable person who lives on the edge have housing or food through mutual aid online. I'm not that impressed by our society's capacity to really meet this moment. We have to be willing to shift the culture that abets fascism too. Even unlearning whiteness.

Chantal James @chantalalive.blacksky.app · 5d

It comes down to people don't want to take part in small scale individual choices they can make to fight fascism. And I can't make people do that from where I sit or only on a small scale. You could avoid slurs for the disabled that justify the regime's brutality against us, you could wear a mask.

Like Elon claiming to have super-advanced autonomous robots at an investor event, when in fact they were just being controlled by humans 🙄

I’m really sick of these tech bros running scams at the literal expense of everyone around them, including our finite resources.

I have to keep the blinds closed all the time for any privacy (cars pull right up to my room in the parking lot), so I’m living in a dark box for the foreseeable future.

But at least it’s clean & warm.
