I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Maher. Maher is from Gaza City and was displaced from his home and is now living with his wife, mother and brother in a tent. It is not properly secured for the winter and they are having a hard time finding enough food.

I assume @theonion.com is planning to write server redirection rules to make sure every existing infowars link in the wild goes somewhere absolutely hilarious?

I've gotten a handful of surprise discord friend requests by pretty cool people but never started any conversation.
It's not because I don't care. I'm simply just as socially awkward as you are.

Reaching out is scary.

I still have my other account because I’m really reluctant to abandon those networks of aid. I still quietly help whenever I can afford it ..which isn’t much these days.. but I don’t want to leave people behind.

🦋 is pretty decent.

The only feature I miss are bookmarks. Both very helpful and very enabling for my ADHD/million tabs of content situation.

I need people to understand this. Far too many folks think that if healthcare workers aren’t masking - it means the threat has passed.

No - it means they’re resistant to change.

It took decades to get them to adopt handwashing - and the person who advocated for it was written off as mentally ill
They would have declined hand washing back in the day. That's who they are.

There is nothing better than the simple pleasure of sipping tea and hanging out with your cat while they window watch.

It bothers me when people refuse to view disability as value neutral. Being disabled doesn't automatically make someone a better person, and I find people who try push the idea that it does DEEPLY offputting. Brought to you by some professional development shit my friend is having to complete.

The people running this place must feel like teenagers hosting a house party where word has suddenly got around and someone has to make an emergency run to the Spar.

And if you ask for help, genuinely and unapologetically, it gives everyone around you 'permission' to do the same. Best bit of advice as a chronic independent I've ever been given.
Another way to put this is that, when you say you're embarrassed/ashamed to ask for help, the implication about everyone else asking for help is not good, no matter if it's that you think you're better than them or you think they should be embarrassed/ashamed, too.
Suggestion for folks asking for mutual aid support (based on years of experience):

There's no need to say you're embarrassed or ashamed or hate to have to ask.

That's exactly how capitalism wants you to feel. And it wants you to reinforce the idea that asking for help is shameful.

Disability Bluesky, are you out there? I'm looking for my disability community. I know that when we are together we do an incredible job of sharing information, resources, & even saving each other with medical care, housing, etc.

Twitter was life-changing that way for me.

Where ya'll at? 🤗❤️♿

The thing about global warming and being #ChronicallyIll and #disabled is how impossible mass transit is when it’s “go outside and get heatstroke” levels of humidity and heat.
Many chronically ill people have problems regulating temperature, which makes it worse.

“If it were really THAT bad you would be getting help.”

No. There’s NO help available for the lions share of chronic illness & disabilities

Don’t punish us because you need you need to remain in denial about the frail nature of our bodies. About our crumbling healthcare systems. About disability.

So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.

If you're not getting why this is specifically so ghoulish: TANF is designed to provide resources so families can KEEP their children and take care of them, and these states are redirecting that funding to coerce these parents into choosing adoption. Even states like AZ, ME, and NH do this. 🥚
Since I've gained some new followers, let's keep going with #NAAM facts. Did you know that ten states use TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) money for "Alternatives to Abortion" programs, including campaigns to promote adoption, rather than food and housing for families in poverty? 🥚

some synonyms: wild, ridiculous, nonsensical, incoherent, foolish, ignorant, bullshit, chaotic, gleefully destructive, reckless, feckless, corrupt, failed-atate.
Listen, I know the struggle is real when it comes to finding suitable vocabulary to describe the foolish absurdity that surrounds us right now.

I would still gently and with love remind folks that language like "d*mb" and *st*pid" and "ins*ne" are rooted in a eugenic history that informs our today.
