Normalize telling people what they mean to you.

Big things or small. The person that helps you think about things differently or the pet posts that make you smile for a minute.

You won’t loose cool points for being sincere. I promise.

I should do a small business Black Friday Sale video. Anyone a small business having a sale or know people that are? No giving me product or anything required. I'd just like to support small businesses. 💜😺 Share if you know of any

Too often mutual aid requests stall while a person is alive, and then when they pass the goal is met quickly.

It’s hard to ask for help and as a community we need to commit to helping in life & in death.

We need to fund treatments, housing, food & caregivers… not just funerals.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

It was an honor to be alive and advocating for disability rights at the same time as Alice Wong. A titan who beckoned us all to use our voices and be brave

We had a little motion overnight, BUT we are still well short of what we need to accomplish this move!

A string of bad disability flares have really set us behind and ate up our reserves! Anything helps!

KS is $253 away from being able to cover this month’s rent. Any help (including shares) is appreciated.

💸💕
Deadline missed! This is now past due!

253 kneaded asap to remain avoid wasteful fees, and stay housed.

Every dime matters.

Tysm!

A year ago this month - it was dark, but there were animals and other nice things and we're still here.

Again, thank you again for sharing your nice moments. Here are some you shared in 2024.

A November thread.

I have $103 in outstanding hospital bills so please share 💗😊
The hospital wants some money. This is a way for me to raise it.

Even if you can't donate, a read and a share generate ad revenue that help me pay for the cancer I definitely didn't ask for.

I have a really important medical appointment on Monday in Phoenix (3+ hrs drive) and I need help with gas money, please!

My goal for gas is $60

Thank you!
My husband was laid off in June, his unemployment benefits have run out, & I am disabled & unable to work, which means we have zero income.

Please help us get through this tough financial time!

We are among the ~900k Arizonans & ~42m Americans not receiving SNAP for an undetermined amount of time. We relied very heavily on that to feed our family, especially because we have no income at all currently.

I will post a link to a food wish list in comments.

Donation links in OP.

Thanks!
