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!
The best help I can ask for is more patreons. Right now I’m receiving about $450/mo from Patreon. This supplements the income I get from working at Taco Bell, about $1200/mo. More Patreon = less Taco Bell, more writing, more road trips, more life on my terms

I updated the wishlist with some things we could use. I don't know what the future looks like but I know it's not likely to get easier. I'm anticipating more layoffs and workforce reductions, more increased costs. And of course getting terrible anxious about it all.

We've been hit with a sickness bug, nothing on the list is specifically related to being sick but I'm missing work unpaid now and anything helps.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I don't use a lot of gas these days but I need to go fill up soon and I am so scared to see what it's up to 😭
I intend to be absolutely unrelenting about this today.
Please chip in or share if you can! 🌻
I'm looking to raise $400 for new tires for my car and new shoes.
No donation too small to help!

Boosting this. Someone in the community is matching donations up to $3000 right now.
This is a hyper local fund for a suburb if the Twin Cities that will benefit families facing eviction due to unpaid rent. I know there is a lot of need, please donate if you can.
There used to be an old sign by the path, warning passers-by of the local sleeping willow, which would trap the unwary with fatigue, engulf them while they slept, and release them a hundred years later.
There was a new sign:
"This sleeping willow is full."
And a map of other locations to try.

I can attest that this program will overcome the MYRIAD technology problems we've had trying to move money digitally to get these rents paid. We are driven by care and spite.
I have 2 last rent portions to get over the finish line tonight.
I have a $300 need and then I have $275 left on a larger need.
Today is the last day of the grace period for rents being paid on time and I really would like to get these two finished.
Can you chip in?
I am going to be annoying and boost this gofundme until the funeral next week even though every time I do I am gutted because I have to see the only father I have ever known face and know that he is gone.

And how about this! If anyone from bluesky gets tickets to the fundraiser, you can make the final choice for what dress I wear to be the MC. I have some very fun options, and this will be a once in a lifetime chance to get Marf to do something she is told without arguing!
B is growing faster than I can keep up with and needs new clothes. If anyone would like to help, we'd really appreciate it!
Now that Amazon appears to be working again...
Everywhere we look, the U.S. is attacking somebody, killing somebody. And there's not one single bloody thing we can do to stop it. So do what's closest. You can't stop a bomb, but you can kick in something on rent or groceries for somebody. And that could quite literally save a life too.
Hi everyone I can't find the ongoing post I made but while I'm working again Lexi is still trying to find a job and we are not doing great financially. This week we could really use assistance paying water and electricity. All shares and help are very appreciated 💖!

March 5th. New month. #HelpFolksLive2026 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.
Urgent mutual aid ask from a friend:
Eviction notices go out March 5, and right now we have approximately 40 families that are at risk. We need to raise $50K in 48 hours to help keep people housed.
If you can, please donate right now to the Gethsemane Community Care Fund:
