happy pride!!!!! 🌈 are you hype in the pipe for the memoir i'm writing? do you enjoy the work i've done with FediPact? the rad instance i've set up? the cool clothes i DIY together? my pirate radio station, vantaradio? my awesome videos? my amazing selfies? my posting generally? wanna give a trans girl a nice gift during pride month?
well i'm unemployed, job searching, was recently kicked out of the place i'd been staying for years, and am surviving solely off donations for the moment so if you wanna support me anything helps me keep being able to do all those cool thingies!!!
I don't like on how this is the 3rd time I'm asking for help during this situation, but this is the only way I can do to help.
We have been in some progress since last time, we're currently working on gaining the ability to buy a house throughout the weeks up till now. And so far, we're waiting on a word from them telling on what're we suppose to do next.
While we're waiting for that, we do need help with keeping up with the hotel room, food and bills while also saving up for the house. Every bit helps!
A friend helped set up this project in Gaza to buy and set up solar panels (already in Gaza, not being used) to help young Palestinian Writers. For each $1k comes in they can buy equipment to transfer to a household.
Since October, Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza has destroyed over 50% of all infrastructure, rooftop solar and power stations. Fuel supplies have been cut and residents lack consistent access to food, water or electricity.
Families must walk long distances and wait in line, often for hours, for limited supplies of food and water or to charge a mobile phone (typically their only source of light at night, as well as connection to the outside world).
But a group of young Palestinian writers are fiercely determined to get their stories about Israel's genocide out to the world and are working to Repower Gaza, one light at a time.
We Are Not Numbers (WANN) has located the equipment and technicians inside Gaza necessary to produce a limited amount of solar power kits, enough to immediately restore power to the team of storytellers and their extended families (an estimated 50 households and around 1,000 people). Each kit will generate enough power to light five rooms and power up to 20 mobile phones daily. If more resources become available later, WANN will extend the effort to their broader communities. It will cost US$40,000 to purchase and install the kits.
Donate now and help provide light to Gaza.
The mission of We Are Not Numbers is to train and support a new generation of Palestinian writers, and share their powerful narratives and bring wider understanding to the Palestinian liberation cause.
Please support Repower Gaza and share this grassroots effort to give light, hope and voice to Palestinians resisting genocide with your network.

This project is an initiative of We Are Not Numbers, supported by the Middle East Children's Alliance, a registered US nonprofit organization. All funds raised will go directly to the purchase of solar kit componentry inside Gaza, to be deployed by trained solar technicians.

Hey y'all! so last year on #Juneteenth I started a lil #reparations thread. Some racist assholes took issue with that...
So this year I'll be making multiple threads throughout the month! It's now June where I am so I'm eager to get started.
Black folks, reply w/ your cashapp venmo ko-fi etc etc if you like.
Other folks, (especially if you're benefitting from the federal holiday) throw them coins if you got the means and boost replies in the thread for circulation
You can make someone's dream come true this month: join me in helping my dear friend Ravyn raise the funds they need for gender affirming care! https://gofund.me/382f7f3e :BlahajWavingTransFlag:
UPDATE: as of TODAY i have been kicked out by my roomie
so i'm here to ask for three things:
1. housing in seattle
this is the biggest one. i am now so desperate i'm looking for couches to crash on temporarily right away, but also i'd like to seek out something medium to long term so i have time to get my shit together. i'm currently broke and unemployed, with no family or anything to support me, so i can't really pay rent or anything like that yet (i am aware of how huge an ask this is). i will update this post if that changes. and hopefully it will, because...
2. job leads
i'm currently doing my best to job search. after having an utterly sanity-destroying time working in fast food pre-pandemic, that drove me to the brink of suicide, i am extremely wary of fast food or retail and have basically set the hard limit that i can't do anything public-facing for my own mental health's sake. my various mental illnesses further complicate matters, but i'm trying my best to find something that will work for me. my work portfolio is at https://vanta.work
3. donations to keep me going in the meantime
and finally, i'm requesting donations to help keep me afloat. no real goal here, i can tell i'm gonna need as much slack as possible cut to avoid things going south... so, seriously, anything helps give me a bit more breathing room. thank you so much 🖤

hey everyone, i’m unfortunately in a pretty difficult position right now; i’ve been dealing with a lot of health issues (specifically treatment-resistant migraines, nausea, and persistent fevers) which have been flaring up over the past several months and so i’ve been unable to work the same amount that i had been earlier this year, and so i’ve fallen behind on some credit card bills. i was able to set up some payment plans on my accounts and i need around $200 to catch up on these. there’s absolutely no pressure to donate or share or anything, but if you feel like it i’ll leave my ko-fi and liberapay links here:
