THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Real as a heart attack

Yep. They’re still at it. Some recent drops items: www.buzzricksons.jp/tag/william-...

My 10 yo son and some classmates visited the NYSE floor today and sounds like they chatted with @carlquintanilla.bsky.social and he was real mensch. Not surprisingly. Thanks Carl!

Reach is survival. 15 likes hits the Discover feed, but reposts put my needs in front of new eyes. That’s how a $5 donation or a meal actually happens. Without reach, I’m invisible and my needs go unmet. I’m not looking for fans; I’m looking for the visibility required to stay alive. Repost, please!

Markwayne Mullin Reportedly Fingered Nostrils of Colleagues and Their Spouses During Visit to Israel

what fresh hell

"The White House"

I beg all bumbling bees
Turn against their keepers and sting
All the honey that's running is blood due
The smoke's a joke I keep playing on you

A digital donation flyer titled "Support Malik" with the subtitle "Scan to donate via Venmo or Cash App". The background is a vibrant blue, pink, and purple gradient with a bokeh light effect and a thin gold border. In the center are two prominently displayed QR codes: - On the left, a blue Venmo card with a QR code featuring a small profile picture of Malik in the center, and the text "venmo: @tamilove21". - On the right, a bright green Cash App card with a QR code featuring the green Cash App dollar sign logo in the center, and the text "Cash App: $tamilove21". At the bottom center of the graphic is the Bluesky handle "maliktunde.bsky.social".

I'm unhoused, but I refuse to stop fighting. Every dollar sent here goes directly toward my immediate survival—keeping a roof over my head and staying out of the freezing cold. I’m doing the heavy lifting, but I can't do it alone.

Thank you for the support.

URGENT HOMELESSNESS

I'm out. On the curb with my bags. It’s freezing and the hostility in this town is real. If you can help with a motel just for tonight so I can figure out my next move, please. Every dollar is life-saving right now.

I know I’ve got followers with some $ to spare. Please help a real person in need. Mutual aid is one of the tools we have in the fight against fascism. Get in the fight.

EMERGENCY: Received a final notice and I'm being forced out by Monday. 🏳️‍⚧️ As a Black trans man, being homeless in this hostile town is a death sentence. I have nowhere to go and my meds are at risk. Please, I just need to survive the night. Any amount helps.

Sourdough is gross in most cases

Rude

Discomfort is my middle name

Replace trans with billionaire and you’ve got something.

I will never stopped being amazed that people don’t get this. We criticize who we can actually impact. And I’m pretty sure there’s enough anti-MAGA posts on Bluesky. What we need is a more muscular Democratic leadership. Not more anti GOP posts from Oliver Willis.

Ground control to major bum.

I tried to avoid sounding desperate on here, but I've lost 15 lb recently due to not being able to eat food at home. The testosterone makes me starving, and it's eating my own body which means I'm not making any gains. Please, any amount helps.

leftist infighting again (suggesting the Democrats do something beyond passing laws calling on the authoritarian to follow the laws)

Don’t know why you kept it. You know why. 😘

Older folks next to me on the train from Long Island to the city are filled with rage at ICE. At Suozzi for his vote. You love to see it.

And this is why. As much as I will work? As much as this directly impacts me ?

I understand why Black people are tired and if they don’t want to do this anymore

The reason we are here is because people don’t care, don’t listen, don’t repair and STILL haven’t changed
