My friend is going back to school to be a paramedic! She's a single, disabled mom who has had a lot of struggles with unemployment. I'm really excited for her to take these next big steps, but she needs some help!

Hey remember me saying how great @nightlightpod.bsky.social is? The creator could use a little help going back to school for a more stable career. I think we all have friends who can testify how brutal tech burnout is, and how much difference even a little help while recovering can make.

Have y'all listened to NightLight? It's phenomenal. I like to recommend folks start with The Power by Linda Addison or Malaika Descending by Sheree Renee Thomas

I haven't logged into BlueSky in forever. Thanks for all the new follows! I'll get around to following the folks I know back, and after the new year I'll be posting here more often. I'm still taking a little mental health break, and hope you're all taking care of yourselves <3
November 22, 2024 at 3:42 PM
I'm slowly resurfacing into the world of social media. Is BlueSky threading stuff right so I can tell a story on here, or is that still a hot mess? 😂

Y'all. Crowdfunding is hard these days. Please give whatever you can to this fellow @fableandfolly.bsky.social show. And if money is tight, spread the word to anyone who will listen!
