As I grow a record collection, I might pin and start a thread of all of the records I’ve got/gotten…
A record player with a clear lid over the table adorned in tickers starting on the top right A teddy bear crying with a rainbow with the words “I’m Fucking Trying, Ok?” A green sticker with a purple horned monster with its tongue out. The purple words above and below the face read “Atomic Cotton”. It is shiny A red heart sticker with a white KC in the center A Michael Myer’s mask with a butcher knife through the eye. Half of the mask is torn off to reveal a skull jawbone. It is flanked by blood spatter A white tea cup with delicate blue patters has a white and blue flower coming out of it. A blue and white bird is perched on the flower Down The Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth holding its hands in front of its face where the eyes should be A round sticker with a pattern reminiscent of an indigenous blanket there is a white shape in the middle showing a Cormorant. It reads Waterford Coffee KCMO A yellow sticker showing a woman in green. In the center is her face looking angry with fangs. On either side of the face is shows the upper half of her body holding up the lid of a basket. The words below “The Lair of the White Worm” Bottom going left A colorful snail with a disco ball shell with a link for groupiecandles.com A round black sticker with colorful letters reading BFF. The B is turned on its side with a blue turtle sitting atop it A sticker with HATE in red capital letters with Has No Place written in blue cursive letters. In the front is a lotus and a lily pad.

The only reason these ghouls are expediting these hearings is similar what happened last year with Abrego Garcia— they royally fucked up, the general public saw just HOW royally they fucked up and then they speed things along so that they don’t have to acknowledge or fix what they royally fucked up.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Today is the start of LGBT+ History Month in the UK. I joined some cool people a while ago to reflect on why queer and trans histories are rich and powerful. Our histories can illuminate the possibilities of activism and politics, as we work to build a better world.

Keep the conversation going.

‼️ URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST ‼️

Please help me move out safely. I'm being kicked out of my current living space. I need to be out by April 1st. The details are in the post. I need a min.of 2000 CAD. Ko-fi link here:

ko-fi.com/themythicbun...

#mutualaid #trans #disabled #helpsky #disabledcrowdfund
Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words in large letters: HELP ME LEAVE MY ABUSIVE HOUSE! aka, my abusive mother is kicking me out. Please. HELP. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his request with some words emphasized: I'm making a mutual aid request. I need help. My mother has issued me an eviction notice. I have to leave by April 1st, or she will kick me out with police force. She has threatened to do this a couple times. This time, I know she means it. I will be moving in with @CryptAesthetics, who has been made aware of every step of her abuse since it began. We're aiming to move out by the end of March, and I need assistance raising money to pay for first & last month's rent, plus movers for myself since most of my friends do not drive, but can help pack. Whatever else we make will help me puchase house essentials & mobility assistance, and help pay part of @CryptAesthetics first/last, too. We are looking to raise a minimum of 2000 CAD. 1500 for first/last on my part, 300 for movers, & 200 for a new mattress for myself. If you can help, please donate to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/themythicbunny or my paypal, linked in the replies of this post. In the following image, I will be detailing the situation as it's unfolded, with the added notion that I do not have steady access to the kitchen, and thus haven't been able to keep or have food steadily since August, and must constantly order food, putting myself in debt to feed myself. I've saved up 200 the last two months by limiting food. Revon, a disabled man wearing his brace and using his cane, stands under a spotlight with the words detailing his situation, with some words emphasized with different colour: In December 2023, I re-connected with my abusive mother who claimed to have changed and was 'doing better'. After a couple of months, I thought this change was permanent, and she made the offer to move in with her in April 2024, in my childhood home. This was my mistake. I trusted her, and put faith in her, hoping that the change she displayed was permanent. It was not. For the past two years, her treatment towards me has worsened significantly, especially these last several months. It turns out, just because someone doesn't beat you anymore, doesn't mean they've stopped being abusive altogether. She has completely iced me out while removing access to essentials such as access to the bathroom on the same floor my room is (I am disabled. I can't be constantly going up and down stairs. She forces me to do this anyways by locking the door every night), removed toilet paper handles, taken away essentials I helped purchase with my own money, financially abused and harassed me, gaslit me, has weaponized, discriminated, and mocked my mental and physical disabilities, because they 'made her life worse', threatened to keep me hostage in her house until I paid her back money that I owed her, and turned every single one of these situations into her being the victim. Now, she's misgendering me and actively insulting me and my siblings loudly on the phone and to friends, slamming doors, cussing and cursing about me when I'm home, and doing everything she can to scare me. It's working. I'm scared. And I need out.

A deaf teen was violently detained by ICE for not “following orders”.

He couldn’t hear their orders.

They denied him an interpreter.

Denied him accommodations.

This is who they are.

They target the disabled because eugenics and fascism go hand in hand.

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.
