I URGENTLY need to get £245 together for a weeks rent and a small amount of money together for food and toiletries to last until I get paid next Wednesday, if anyone at all can help with any amount of a repost it would mean so much to me.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

OK, @arstechnica.com has made a statement, and I think it is fair to say they fucked up and they know it. Given the fact that there's so few AI-critical outlets left, I'll give them the benefit of doubt for now, but I don't really think I'll do it twice.

Just a reminder for folks not in Minnesota . . . we still need help. Also there are things you can do to prepare your community in case this fuckery comes where you are (or just because they're good things to do).
Want to help people in Minnesota? The best place to start is: www.standwithminnesota.com

You can donate money to people who need it, donate airline miles, send supportive messages, & read about other things to do to help or prepare your own community:

The death penalty is never, ever "awesome." And it is never, ever applied equally to all groups.

You really think the Epstein listers are who they will kill? Not queer and trans people who have done nothing but are accused of these evils constantly?

The highest paid government employee in most states is a football or basketball coach🤦🏿‍♂️

And yet the top athletes in the biggest revenue generating sports, who are mostly Black, and live in poverty, are restricted from earning?

They steal money from poor Black kids and put it into stadiums like this

I know things are hard for everyone and there are so many of us in need

But if everyone who sees this can kick in one to ten bucks, we can clear Bex's medical debt tonight
please contribute if you can 🙏🏽

i have to pay $1300 to my oncologist before my next appointment on friday. i owe $6322.

(this is the new oncologist- my previous oncologist got a warning for helping me beyond the scope of medical practice (he helped me to get funding & wrote off some of my bills))
as you know, i'm behind on so much & can only pay bills depending on how much i receive in the form of mutual aid

if you click on my ko-fi goal, there's a list of immediate needs that i need to cover & there's also a list of the medical debt that needs to be cleared ASAP.
