The future is mutual aid. ✨ 💪

Trying to build community at the intersections of art and justice movements, sometimes organizing mutual aid fundraisers and distributing zines. 🕎 for a free 🇵🇸.

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.

obviously this is bad, but it’s long been true of other countries we praise to the skies for their healthcare and a lot of progressive Americans don’t want to acknowledge that as a huge vector of oppression. there are a lot of places I couldn’t emigrate to even if I wanted bc they have BMI limits
Obesity's now on the list of considerations, as well as cancer, & mental health, that may result in denial of an immigrant visa.

"Those who suffer from these medical conditions could become a “public charge,” & drain the nation of its resources, the directive argued."

Good morning/afternoon!

As of 5 days ago, our Airalo partner account has started using $1000 of data a day in top ups.

We are going to quickly run out of funds to reimburse. With your steady support we can prevent that from happening!

The wild thing, looking back at electoral work, is you have to raise $250K+ to basically get someone a job

At best they do a mediocre job at that job

At worst they enact policy violence and kill your friends & comrades

On the democratic side

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

Anyway, the decision to suspend Sarah Kendzior’s account appears to have been intentional rather than a false positive moderation flag.

This is far from being the first instance of disturbing and seemingly inexplicable moderation decisions on this platform.

I doubt they will reinstate her account.
Moderation has always been the primary weakness of this platform.

In most relationships, the initially identified faultline eventually becomes the terminal one.

I hate to think that will be the case with Bluesky, but I suspect it will.

Hello @support.bsky.team

I heard from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that her account was suspended.

Can you please look into this and reinstate her account? She’s a published author and scholar on authoritarianism. Her presence here is valuable.

Sarah McBride is the platonic ideal of the politician as completely hollowed out husk, no solid ideals except for an orientation toward power at any given moment. Embarrassing but extremely predictable “first representation” moment
Calling bipartisanship, under the most fascist regime this country has ever faced, "bisexuality" is so revolting and crass that it disqualifies you not just from office but from the entire queer community.

There are so many cute salt & pepper sets at Quail Ceramics (quailceramics.co.uk), I bet I could assemble a DIY Advent calendar out of them. (While I’m fantasizing, I may as well fantasize an end to the tariffs so they’ll ship to the States again.)

Last year a friend gave us Advent calendars with dog toys every other day, such as ornament-looking squeaky balls & candy cane rope toys. They didn’t really need 12 new toys in one month, but it was adorable.
