I know I've been pushing this GoFundMe for a while but I'm really going to need for everyone to try and push this one. The mother with the GoFundMe planned on burying her child this weekend, but the charity which promised to assist her said that they don't have anything for her at the moment and put her on a waiting list. Please give what you can and share.
Well, beloved, it’s real. You can preorder my book “Beyond Hope” as of now. If you suspect that #MutualAid, #municipalism or the example of #Rojava suggest strategies to survive a hot, dangerous future, if you want to learn from examples ranging from the Black Panther survival programs to the solidarity clinics of Greece, or if you’re interested in a concrete working-out of #solarpunk ideas in the form of the #Lifehouse community resilience hub, this is the book for you. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beyond-Hope-Collective-Mutual-Emergency/dp/1788738357
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 🖤
is anybody willing to house my friend and his mother anywhere around Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, or anywhere inside Wisconsin??
he is HIGHLY LIKELY to end up homeless and I am getting desperate
he is a disabled queer person and because of that he can't work
please
someone help
EDIT: WE CANNOT AFFORD HIM TO STAY AT THE MOTEL ANYMORE. WE NEED IMMEDIATE HELP TO FIND HIM STABLE HOUSING IN 2 WEEKS. HIS LIFE IS AT STAKE. WE NEED TO ACT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
Oh hey it's me, the white trans woman with curly brown hair. As it turns out, I just lost my job, which sucks. I'm a mom of two young kids, and am paying some really high rent in the SF Bay Area.
I'm really optimistic that I can bounce back from this soon, but in the mean time, things are going to be tight. If anyone has anything to offer, it would be a great kindness. Thank you. #mutualaid#trans
Kyle is a #trans man who is trying to get his trans daughter and the rest of his family of 5 out of #texas If he is not out by mid-September, then his abusive ex will find out his daughter is trans and may attempt to use the new laws to take custody of her.
This outcome cannot be countenanced. We won't let Governor Abbott break up his family. Let's get them out!
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? or just wanna give a trans gal a nice gift?
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

Bon. On récapitule. Je suis une personne non binaire en situation de handicap. J'attends de toucher l'AAH depuis treize mois à ce jour. Je fais très attention à mes dépenses mais la lente érosion de mes économies au fil des mois sans les aides de la CAF font que j'ai besoin d'aide aujourd'hui.
J'ai besoin de 810€.
Mon frigo est mort (entre 60€ si je prends d'occas, et 200€ si je le prends neuf)
Je dois rembourser ma thérapie (360€)
J'ai fini le mois à -250€ et vais finir celui-ci autant dans le rouge (250€)
J'ai pas grand chose à offrir en retour, si ce n'est des conseils personnalisés de lecture si vous le souhaitez.
I'm on the kidney transplant list since 2019. I'm listed at 1 hospital, & am working on getting listed at another. In the meantime, you can help! Kidneys from living donors are healthier and last longer on average than kidneys from deceased donors. Can you help me find one? I know it's a big ask for a stranger on the internet, but maybe you or someone you know could be the one to give the gift of a better life! Blood type O+. #MutualAid#MutualAidRequest#MutualAidRequest
We just passed the halfway point of our fundraising goal for Banned Books Back! Moms for Liberty, eat your hearts out! 😏
To recap, our collective received a serendipitous donation of children's books that had been removed from Florida schools as part of an ongoing effort to censor titles depicting queer joy, civil rights history, immigrant stories, and more. Right now, our collective is harboring dozens of boxes of these "dangerous" titles — but not for long. Later this month, we'll be calling on our local community to help package bundles and send these Banned Books... Back!
Thank you so much to the folks who have boosted this effort, including but not limited to Autostraddle, The Washington Post, LGBTQ Nation, so many rad bookseller buddies, and the 270+ folks who've donated. 💓
Oakland trans woman had to remain closeted for years to get work in taquerias. She managed to get gender affirming care, and then realized her dream and bought a taco truck. She opened two months ago. Now, her taco truck has been stolen, and apparently her insurance company won't cover the loss. If you have a few bucks to share to help a trans woman of color recover her business after this devastating loss, click this link to the GoFundMe her friend set up for her. https://www.gofundme.com/f/miss-chiles-enya-sandoval
I'm a disabled Indigenous queer person who exists on Jobseeker, which means almost 50% ($269/week) below the poverty line ($489/week).
After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I have to move because the people we rent from want to renovate.
It's going to cost $3990 just to move, not including the new bond and rent for the new place, cleaning costs for the old place, and all the other incidentals.
I hate asking, but please consider helping if you can - I'd be super grateful.
My disability benefits ended this month, my fiancee and I only live on it and the administration didn't answer for the renewal yet, so we'll lose our only income at least for February.
We estimate we'll need ~ 980€ for February.
I also have until May 5th to pay for my grandpa's inheritance fees, which are 4136€.
I lost touch with many of my #mutualaid#diabetic friends when I left the bad site, so please boost for me.
My wife’s Opa passed away this week, leaving behind ~7 vials of #Humalog#insulin and a number of #Dexcom#G7#CGM sensors (non-pump compatible). Everything is paid for and we don’t want it all to go to waste.
If you or someone you know could really use this stuff, please contact me at:
“mutualaid.abruptly295@ passmail.net”
Okay so I need to get a bit over $800 before Feb 5th. I couldn't get an advance on a contract and it's not expected to end until Feb 20th. This'll help cover the rest of rent and keep this phone on (at least).
I think I can get close and will try to haggle so I'll keep folks up to date.
hiya. I am a graphic designer, creative director, and illustrator with 15+ years of experience working in the tech industry. what i wanna do is try and start open sourcing the stuff i know how to do, so more people can know how to do them.

My son wants me to post this, he would like to get help for his BFFs (twins from his HS). They just need some food and household items for their family.
Their dad lost his job and the twins have been working every week to try to supplement mom's pay but they are short on basics like food and soap. (There are younger sibs too.)
They are such nice kiddos, and trying to support their family as teens!
