Electric and my partner's phone are now late. By some stroke of luck neither of them got a late fee, but it does mean disconnects are now a possibility. It's also a possibility we still won't be able to pay late rent yet because Walmart screwed up my partner's paycheck again. Please help us.

Hello, I’m Liz! I’m a disabled autistic trans woman with cPTSD.

My partner is a working-disabled enby with ADHD, chronic pain, and mobility issues.

Together we live with our two #dogs, six inside #cats, and a colony of stray cats that we care for.

We don’t receive any benefits, and financial assistance of any kind has been difficult to secure. We live in an old, decaying mobile home and do not have a vehicle. A large chunk of my partner’s pay goes to an out-of-state storage unit whose rent is continually climbing and we cannot afford to retrieve the contents. We are almost constantly behind on our house rent and bills, partly due to the late fees and continually rising cost of living.

Mutual aid helps us keep going while we struggle to get caught up and improve our situation. Please help us by sharing my mutual aid requests, or donating direct financial assistance and items from our needs lists.

November 17th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

I want to stop asking for help with shelter this month lol. Contributions will let me focus on improving our lives—13 days can do a lot, but only if we have support.

a left pale hand holding up a pair of dangly earrings between the first two fingers. the earrings each hold a string of three bell shape flower glass beads that are a soft pink and yellow peachy gradient colour wise. they’re so stunning

a small black velvet jewellery bust against a white background holding a pale pink bracelet using 6mm bicone beads. the beads are almost translucent, they are such a soft shade of pink, slightly paler than the first bracelet and they are glistening from the light’s reflection.

three soft baby pink and white mix seed bead necklaces wrapped around a right white thumb with posters and books blurred in the background.

a pair of super bright and reflective pink and silver earrings held up in a white left hand inbetween the fingers. there is a teeny strand connecting from the ear hooks holding two 4mm beads, one rose pink and the other a suncatcher bead. dangling last is a large 8mm mixed pink iridescent and a tiny 2mm bead acting as a stopper

three orange, amber, and black mix seed bead necklaces held up in a white right hand with posters blurred in the back. the necklaces are very autumnal and warm

a close up of three purple, violet and white mix seed bead necklaces held up in a pale hand, they drape vertically in two lines, with posters and books blurred in the background. they remind me of parma violet sweeties. so so vibrant and pretty.

In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.

a big yellow and brown statement piece necklace displayed on a black velvet bust. this stunning piece features a mix of beads in various sizes from 3mm to about an inch, and in a variety of shades of brown and yellow.

three orange black and white mix seed bead necklaces wrapped around a right white thumb/hand with navy blue nails. posters and books are blurred in the background. they look like corn hehe.

stunning pair of earrings featuring clear amethyst. they’re on a black plastic stand with tom bombadil and the silmarillion books out of focus in the back. they are made using 0.6mm titanium wire which drops into a jump ring forward facing with three strands jumping off. the longest is a strand of clear amethyst beads, a stunning pale purple, and a purple/blue gradient leaf charm dangling last connected with a steel jump ring. the second longest is a steel chain with a frosted 8mm navy round bead. and lastly, the shortest strand is a blue goldstone crystal followed by an amethyst and then another goldstone. these are incredible

a matching blue and silver bracelet and necklace set displayed on two black velvet busts with the smaller bust and bracelet closer to the camera and in focus. the pieces alternate between 6mm bicone pale blue beads and 4mm rondelle metallic silver beads, made up with 0.8mm pure titanium wire and closed with stainless steel clasps and extension chains.

Am I . . . am I seeing people arguing that GenAI isn't losing workers jobs because it doesn't work well and thus it wouldn't make sense to replace human workers?

Have these people ever MET capitalism? There isn't a short-term gain in existence it's not willing to shoot itself in the foot for.

Cold weather is hitting, and the stray cats that we care for need better shelter than we can currently provide.

pls share 💕💸

it’s our baby girl’s 4th birthday🎈 fourth!!😺 she’s so fucking weird i love her so much. she snores and she’s crusty and she makes us laugh every day. cats are a gift.

there’s a few items that would help with cats on my wishlist if anyone wants to help thank you 🫶

www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

misty, the long hair, white and grey baby, hiding in long grass with her ears back and staring me out like i’m her prey. she has no fears! she’s maybe about 8 months old here.

misty playing through the bannister gaps. she’s blurred as she’s moving and her mouth is wide which makes it looks like she’s smiling when tbh she was probably out for blood. one paw is reaching up

misty being held for the photo with a pale left hand as she has soup marks all over her face from beating us to the bowl. she does not give a fuck, she wants soup! she stares deep into the distance thinking about her next move.

misty with her 2 babies! mama bear has two different eye colours, one blue one yellow which are bright as she stares off to the right (her left). she’s so proud of her babies. the two kittens are maybe 3-4 weeks old here, one grey and one black, both with white patches. they lay with their mam in a pink cat bed but both of them have their heads hanging over and looking at a blanket underneath the bed. unsure why they find it so interesting but both their heads lolling together is so cute. they have teeny tiny ears poking out.
