While solid public health data's been difficult to come by the last few weeks, it's now clear that covid risks in the Asheville area have declined to SUBSTANTIAL, down from High.
We may be out of this wave entirely in a week or two, but we're not there yet. Risks remain very real. #avlnews

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

Yeah, anyone who lived through the Bush years a conscious person is celebrating right now. It is impossible to sum up how much evil Cheney did that we'll be dealing with for decades. Good goddamn riddance.
One of the most evil men who's ever lived, a man who is directly responsible for every evil we're experiencing now under this regime, a sickening and vile torturer and warmonger whose only positive act is that at least the blood on his hands will nourish the soil

Okay with all of my savings and donations across all of the platforms, I’m ready to talk purchase.
My budget is $3.5k now and an additional $2.5k for a total of $6k by the weekend before Thanksgiving. As things currently stand, part of this would be a loan. 🧵

Mutual aid is one of my core values. If I have a resource, I share that resource. Period. Know that when you are supporting me, you are supporting other impoverished locals (including trans femmes) as well!

Hey y'all Matilda is a dear friend, comrade and fellow @avlblade.bsky.social journalist. She really needs a vehicle, soon, to make it through the winter. Please share and support as you can.
On Monday I learned that my transmission died. This comes not even six months into pouring thousands of dollars into keeping my truck running (as no single repair exceeded its value). Considering its age it makes zero sense to pay for repairs. Here’s the link gofund.me/d18e5e1a8

Donations have stalled out a bit. Please keep sharing! When I reach $2,000 towards my goal, I’m going to make a post describing what kind of vehicle I am looking for. But I can’t even start thinking along those lines until I reach that mark. Link in the comments!

I’m nearly a quarter of the way to my goal, which is pretty good for a first week! But I don’t have an unlimited amount of time to meet this goal. If you can, please donate if you haven’t already and please share!

Capital projects update to start. Capital projects staff sucks up by quoting Debra Campbell at the start of the presentation.
Campbell, on the other hand, has staunchly refused to fund rental aid, instead prioritizing funds for big businesses and the tourism industry #avlgov

I’m making decent progress, but really need this vehicle before the holidays really kick up. As some of you know, I sometimes serve as many as four or five clients in a day. It’s the most transportation heavy job I’ve had since delivering pizzas.

After a good six and a half years, last week my truck bit the dust. This sadly came after this year alone pouring thousands of dollars into repairs. This isn’t unusual. 🧵
