She survived a storm. The house didn’t.
For 40 years, Malissa Whitehead called this place home. She fears it could collapse on her at any moment.

This Mississippi Delta Home Could Collapse Before Help Arrives
She works two jobs and can’t afford to pay for costly repairs. She’s called on congressional leaders and celebrities to no avail.

I'm starting to see multiple threads where bluesky folks are trying to raise money for their local food banks because of the shutdown of SNAP starting November 1... can we get a thread going for people to find each other? Drop your link and put your city in front, let's coordinate city by city!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

Y’all I really need help. I’m in so much pain that I haven’t been able to sleep for days but I don’t have insurance so I can’t afford another emergency room visit. I’ve already gone twice with no real solution. They’re suggesting an MRI which can get up to 10k. I need help so bad I’m begging.
Hey y’all. I had to set up a GFM for medical expenses and rent - basically to keep my head above water until I can go back to work.
The pain has been incredibly debilitating and so far nothing’s worked, and now I’ve been denied health insurance. I really, really need help.

Good morning! Visa is starting to hang up or refusing escalation when asked about censorship. If you get hung up on, call back to complain about it until you get an employee who will record your complaints.

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.
Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.
If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

I may not be a NSFW account, but this recent attack via payment processors should concern everyone, not just people who create/like adult content. I've RPed some ways to fight back, but also do yourself a favor and check out this thread. SO many incredible artists and they deserve love and support.
I have nothing to add to the discourse today that hasn't already been said more eloquently elsewhere, but if you're feelin' helpless I might suggest that this is an excellent time to toss a coin to your local smut peddler. ♥

Once again, there is an ACLU petition specifically made to stop Mastercard from unlawfully policing adult content. It’s getting pretty grim for us out there. Please sign and/or spread the word.
