If a generous Christmas spirit is overtaking your body, I am always roughly one bad day from extreme crisis and will accept coins, stray tinsel, unwanted socks, bizarre stocking stuffers, and A Plate™️. In lieu of all that, the venmo is MirandaBrave & here's ko-fi.
I'm a queer disabled creative who lost their gig in September. I've experienced more time w/o work than with since COVID & the AI-pocalypse & analytics/algorithm shifts are killing my side hustles. Please consider supporting me monthly or once or here & there. It's the only way I can survive.

I’m trying out a new (old) retinol from my makeup store employee days and I don’t know if it’s supposed to burn or if it’s expired. Honestly could go either way.

There are people in Portland that thought the transformers blowing last night was lightning. “I saw these blue and green flashes right before the power went out what crazy lightning”. GIRL WHAT. Like I get that we don’t get thunderstorms so you can forget but there wasn’t any thunder.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I think I just saw three transformers blow (three green flashes that weren’t lightning) so I would be shocked if we have power in the morning. We are on a separate grid from the rest of the city so we will either be the only ones with it or the only ones without.

HI PLEASE SHARE AND IF YOU CAN GIVE YAY
I'm like $300 from rent and would like to get another $40 to make an Aldi trip really meaningful, being able to meal prep some vegetables would help me a ton. November and December have been so bad for streaming, ko-fi, and donations.
I lost my gig in September. It takes ~$150/wk for me to make food + shelter. I didn't make my goal the first week in December, and this week I've gotten NOTHING so far. PLEASE SHARE. You can give once or monthly on ko-fi, use your Amazon Prime free sub on my Twitch, or venmo: MirandaBrave.

It is actually scary how warm it is right now in Portland. We have been having high temps of 60 for the last week.

It's a new week. I'm now like $300 BEHIND on breaking even. I need to make rent. Right now, I only have $20 to eat on for the foreseeable future. Please, please, please share. Small amounts add up & could be very meaningful. If I had any other resources, I wouldn't be asking.

✨️MUTUAL AID NEEDED, PLS SHARE✨️

I'm at $90/300 goal to not fall behind on making food + shelter for the month (~150/wk) There's no work right now + streaming traffic is very low. I promise I'm trying, but until I catch a break I need consistent aid. Writing 🧵 is 📌, lmk if I can write for you!
In September, I lost my writing gig at Collider in yet another wave of the AIpocalypse. It takes ~150/wk to break even on rent+food & as a disabled creative, only mutual aid can get me there. PLEASE share/boost however you can. I only met $40/150 last week. 😩

“everyone has a novel in them" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes zero novels in their lifetime. Novels King, who lives in Maine & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Having a gorgeous panic attack as week one of December comes to an end and I'm only at $40/150 & already behind because I got sick twice in November which piled on unexpected costs. Please share. Please toss a coin if you can. I'd be so happy for work if you got any!
Help a queer + disabled creative survive the AIpocalypse! I'm at $40/150 weekly goal. I've unfortunately been sick twice in the last month, so things are rough. I have a new WIP chapter up for monthly donations & plenty of classics for one-off or monthly support! Shares appreciated! #mutualaid

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

I don’t know what I have but it’s definitely something because I’ve gotten sick the last two days and I barely made it home tonight before I got sick again. Calling out tomorrow. Praying my second test comes back negative (the first one being negative was the only reason I went in today).

It takes about $150/wk just to keep food + shelter. My health has taken a turn for the worse, I lost my writing gig in September, I'm out of my OTC pain/CPTSD management stuff, & badly need to replace some clothing staples. Please help or share. Venmo is MirandaBrave. #mutualaid

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it
