ive been having this epiphany lately about how DJing is sort of a life philosophy and it really comes down to knowing the rhythm & groove of your own body and soul. having a discerning ear for what taps into that energy, having a finger on that pulse--thats what really makes you a selector.

Hello, bsky... it hurts me to have to ask again, but *so* much has happened that has set me back, and I really need help.

i am Tobi, a queer, disabled asam person trying so hard to find independence. in the short span of a few weeks, i've lost both of my emotional support animals & my roommate.

Please donate if you're able to. This is an unthinkable amount of money for an unthinkably fucked up situation. Anything helps, trans sex workers deserve to have families

More Carta @morecarta.bsky.social · Oct 12

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW!

We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support.

Goal: $50,000

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser.

Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen.

Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

Sometimes you score a cool piece of old equipment but then you realize that they also hated repair technicians back then too

I'm in a pretty rough spot not being able to work (or apply for new work) with my carpal tunnel injury. Put together a Go Fund Me to make ends meet while I heal.

Shares are immensely appreciated ❤️‍🩹
