The future is mutual aid. ✨ 💪

One of my favorite things about Bluesky (or at least my little corner of it) is that people are always sharing resources for taking action.
So here's a pinned thread collecting those resources, some made by me and some made by others.

I remember when Howard Dean was portrayed as a maverick showing the power of the Dem grassroots in changing Dems from within. Then when Obama was. Then when Bernie was. Then when AOC was. Then when Katie Porter was. Now Zohran is.

I nagged Rook to post this request because I know how hard it is to pay groceries rn. Let's get Rook some safe food for bad pain days, y'all.
Food request! I need shelf stable diabetes-friendly food & medical supplies I cannot afford with my health issues. There aren't local food banks that can help me. All my food aid is from your kindness!
Here is my list if you'd like to help this disabled queer trans artist. Thank you!

there is no path to liberation through the state.
you don't have to cling to the fantasy that a dead-end road goes somewhere until you die from hitting the wall at its end.
you can, instead, learn from the many people who have been saying so, and working outside & against the state, for decades.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the hideous ubiquity of AI slop I strongly recommend looking at breathtaking art that predates the written word and crying at the enduring beauty of human creativity for a bit.
Plagues, wars and ice ages haven't stopped us, neither will robots who suck at painting.

Help Alex give cakes to kids and bring them joy! 🎂🍰🧁
Cakes for kids matters no matter what's going on in the world
Especially as we approach the holiday season
The resumption of benefits doesn't change inflation and tariffs and low wages
Holidays tighten everyone's budget, I think kids still deserve cake

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?

Resources like Scarleteen are under attack right now thanks to a hostile, censorious, puritan government. And, as illustrated last night, health care precarity in the US is a really big problem. Health educators deserve health care!
It's that time of year again: @scarleteen.com is holding their annual fundraiser to support inclusive, comprehensive, loving sex ed, and this year, they're raising money for health benefits for paid staff. I set a goal of $500 for my personal fundraiser, but please help me get way over the top!

tl;dr "trashy people eat this food, which makes this food trashy, and if I then eat that food, I will become trashy myself" is a social opinion (a shitty one), not a scientific opinion, but people will never stop trying to use nutritional terminology to legitimize their shitty social opinions

still fleshing out this theory (pun intended, I guess?) but there is so much magical and symbolic thinking going on when people talk about "nutrition"
people seem to food as a source of not just potential biological contagion, but social, and, even weirder, symbolic contagion via sympathetic magic
