@rat

That's good, actually. Congrats.

@unmind

I think I've said it before, but it's worth saying again.

I find it depressing, how most of us are coerced into working unfulfilling, dumb jobs and waste our talents - or not even discovering them in the first place because they are too busy slaving their lives away.

And yet, people doing said dumb jobs like garbage disposal, cleaning, security - aren't making enough to cover basic needs and in turn have to look elsewhere for job or become a "working poor".

There was a polish poet, I always forget his name. He used to ride the trans-Siberian railway and saw dozens of exhausted miners, too tired to even move.
He wrote something like "I wonder how many of these working men could have been brilliant musicians, poets, painters and inventors if they weren't too poor to even try".

We're creating an AI to replace our creativity as humanity, so we can do dumb labour without distractions on a boiling planet - one of a kind in the entirety of known space - a true paradise in the void - destroyed for the profits and comfort of the few.

It's just heartbreaking and depressing to think about. Such a waste all around.

How do I cope with that?

Hey, folks. As I was saying, I'm not disabled, POC or LGBTQIA+, so there are people needing support more than me, but if you feel I'm worthy of helping out, I'd appreciate it.

I had some really bad luck recently. Fucked up several times and I'm still paying for a loan I took for the rat treatment, because it was just too much to handle at once.

So if you can support me, I could use some funds to keep my poverty at bay and let me ease my mind a bit while I work on solutions and at work to earn some money. I don't really earn that much, though and a few bad months really got me into deep shit.
I just want this to be over, you know? It's like an axe hanging over my head to the point I'm afraid to spend money and look at my banking account.

All money donated will be spent on tending to basic needs like rent, bills and food for me and my pets. Thank you.

Boosts welcome.

@mutualaid #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #Fundraiser #HelpNeeded

I'm well aware that I'm not a large person like Harris nor a celebrity of sorts. I'm just a guy in Poland and I'm struggling. Your few bucks can really help me out and that's why I'm constantly reaching out. I hope for a time in which I don't need to anymore.

Thank you so much, again. You're all the best.

I am well aware that favourable politics are beneficial to millions and you can't help every single person. But this is not about that. I'm enraged because of your entitlement and playing down our struggles you obviously don't understand.

You don't really have to. Just don't equate us to scammers and show some fucking decency and much needed empathy.

@halva

Yeah, exactly that. They just don't fucking care about us, just their privilege.

I find it quite hilarious that folks from #MastodonForHarris are "oh so concerned with donating money to scammers" so they don't participate in #mutualaid posts, effectively sending a "fuck you" message to marginalised & down-on-their-luck people and choosing to support the millionaire avatars of the status quo instead.

Don't wanna spoil the fun, guys, but US politics is probably the biggest scam in human history. And you're voluntarily fueling it with your hard-earned money and depriving people of your support just so you can perpetuate the laughable gambling addiction you obviously have while also acting obnoxious about it, from your high horses.

It's laughable, truly laughable.
For some of you folks out there with the heart in the right place - please consider donating to people actually needing it. Thank you.

#OccupyMastodonForHarris

I also find it hilarious how when you put "Kamala Harris Net Worth" in a search engine, it just spews "rags to riches" stories about how she made her millions, including the story of her multi-million dollar mansion.

It also mentions a lot of corporate backing. Cool.

That's what we're up against, folks. Obviously your needs for a $25 donation that could decide whether you eat today or not are far more abstract than some campaign money.

Am I spiteful? Sure. Am I jealous? Perhaps I am. I just hate seeing priorities so fucked.

#MastodonForHarris #MutualAid

I don't want to shame you - well, most of you, anyway. But the #OccupyMastodonForHarris thing has a merit in pointing out the blatant classicism the true hashtag actually is.

If you have money to spare and want to actually help people out, you're free to donate it to the political party you believe in - despite the fact it doesn't really change anything and only perpetuates the shitty gambling that is a dual-party system in the US. It's not a democracy, it never was a democracy and if you're telling people asking for funds to live they don't care in democracy, you're just wrong and come off as an asshole.

Because when you write stuff like that:
"I don't care. Im not giving money to any aggressive randoms who do not appear to believe in democracy. Just donated a few more dollars. For us. Harris."
https://mastodon.social/@alcinoe/112856666903388250

It really shows, that you don't care about people actually needing funds for living and actively begging in order to stay alive. And I find that truly despicable.

The fraction of your donation that's smaller than a quarter of a tear in literal oceans is enough to help somebody turn their life around. And I mean it.

Please support #MutualAidRequest posters.

Look, I'm not trans or disabled, I'm not even a potential US president, but I do need some help right there. I'm just a guy. Possibly quite like yourself. Money's tight right now.

I won't get into details, but I've made a few bad decisions and had a long streak of bad luck and I now have to get out of some debt.

If you'd like to help me out, I'd appreciate that. I'm poor as shit lately. I'm trying to get hours at work and get all this straight, but I probably won't be able to do it without assistance. So please, if you can, support me. Even if it's a tiny bit.

I just can't afford to get into more debt, potentially risking my tiny flat. I don't own much and don't need much. I just need this financial anxiety to stop.

Please.

#MutualAidRequest #MutualAid @mutualaid

Thank you so much. Boosts welcome. I wouldn't post this if I wasn't in serious shit.

I'm in real financial shit right now and if you're feeling generous, I could use some help. Unfortunately, I have damaged a rented property. It wasn't really my fault - it just sort of happened on its own without my input. But I'm the one to pay for it.

You can support me on https://ko-fi.com/szczursky

I'm really sorry I have to ask for this, but it's getting more and more difficult.

Thank you. #mutualaid @mutualaid

Boosts welcome.

@julieofthespirits @glencoe

I find it really funny, though. In a dark way, of course. NYT was fucking garbage always, it mostly sided with either conservatives or billionaires and recently openly called student protests stupid and dangerous and dangerously stupid.

But no, that was fine. Pointing out Biden is a shitty candidate, though? Nah, can't have that.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

That's like, democracy 101.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

What's truly fucking pathetic about the political system in the US is that people are endorsing and shaming others into voting for Biden in order not to get Trump. And I get it, out of these two shits Trump is much worse.

BUT it doesn't need regular folk are gotta be doing marketing for Biden instead of his PR team. The fact Trump is worse doesn't make whatever the fuck Biden is doing okay. And people telling others to vote for him no matter what are basically low-key saying "I don't care he's a genocidal maniac". If they're openly declaring their intent to vote for him in the next election, they're basically taking the only power they have - to shape the political plans for the future. To coerce the democratic party into meeting their voters demands if they intend to win.

This is very urgent. Boosts appreciated.
Yesterday I had a vet visit with my rat. After her eye removal it turns out the paralysis caused by the ear inflammation resulted in her teeth moving and blocking each other, basically making them useless. The only doctor who had time to see my rat was supposed to be the expert in rat teeth. Long story short, there's a lawsuit case in the waiting for the amount of incompetence that man presented. Basically, he decided to take the rat out back and clip the teeth with the clipper instead of gradually scratching it, as he should.

And now my rat is going to have it's front teeth removed, because the impact caused by the clipper basically damaged the gums so much, they're useless and don't hold teeth in place. I have spent 670 PLN these three days and I'm going to have another visit tomorrow morning, probably extracting teeth. It's gonna cost a lot. And I just can't fucking afford all that.

I really need your help. Thank you.

I shall explain the situation further in the comments, if asked. But please, help me.

#MutualAidRequest

Hey. Yes, it's yet another #MutualAidRequest post. I don't need that much this time, however.

So the story is my rat's teeth are scuffed, probably because of the paralysis she had because of the ear-and-eye inflammation. I'll need to pay another visit to the most expensive veterinary clinic in my city to see it treated and it'll cost more than I can afford. It's 23rd and my payday is on 7th next month. I've got like 250PLN left (because the surgery of my finger and the rat basically sucked me dry) and that's why I'm asking for support.

There was some development at work recently, I'll be transferred and I'll be able to make more money starting next month. I'd just lend the money from the bank, but my credit score isn't enough to cover anything. And my landlord needs an additional payment next month for year's worth of maintenance, which took me by surprise.

If you're feeling generous, you can support me here. Thank you, I really do appreciate it.

Hopefully, I won't be in need of any further support in the future, it's getting progressively better each month but it's still a glacial pace.

Boosts appreciated.

#MutualAid @mutualaid

I'm really fucking afraid I'll wake up tomorrow and she'll be dead.

I'm genuinely surprised. I'll have to schedule a veterinarian visit for tomorrow, because something strange happened.

So basically it seemed like things were getting better for Skye, the medicine clearly worked well and she started acting normally. The swollen eye she had was still suspicious and so I kept on changing the hammocks often in order to avoid infections of any kind.

I was giving her medicine right now and noticed, that the swollen eye - the one getting better - had died.

Yeah. It's dead. And she'll probably have to undergo a surgery to remove it. As fast as possible.

And you know, I'm more surprised than anything else. It just came out of the blue. Of course I'm scared but... Yeah. It's just so unexpected. I'm not sure how to even react, it wasn't like this in the morning and I know that for a fact, because she gets a lot of care lately and I used to watch her eyes closely.

If you want to support me and my rat, you can do it on ko-fi, I'm not that great on money and I don't want to be short on veterinary care.

https://ko-fi.com/szczursky

I'm not sure what else to do. I'll keep in touch. Boosts appreciated. This is kinda dire.

#MutualAid @mutualaid

@mutualaid

The strangest thing of all is she actually acts completely normal, as if nothing happened. As if her eye wasn't infecting the entirety of her head and body. Rats are really, really resilient it would seem.

There's something terribly bad with her jaw though, as if she wasn't able to grab food with it. Might be painful.

I gave her all the painkillers I had for her and some apple.

@HeavenlyPossum

Well, being Polish I kinda see where he comes from despite not agreeing with him. You never hear about anarchism in Poland. It doesn't exist. Even when anarchists do something, they're not anarchists to the mainstream. Only ancaps get some, a little time in media. And you know, it doesn't really serve anyone.

@AnarchoNinaWrites

Hey folks, I got my payday today. Paid my rent, put some money for other necessary bills that will eventually come later.

I will, hovewer, need some money for a surgery. So basically, long story short, a few months back I had a glass bottle full of liquid fall from the fridge and smash my toe. The nail slowly and painfully fell off and left a wound and then started to regrow. And it started to painfully rupture into my skin. I had some feet specialist therapy trying to save that, but it had failed. I now need to surgically remove it and undergo the same therapy. And it will cost. Right now I can walk, but it's really painful and the finger basically feels like... it's got a literal nail just piercing right through my finger. It aches a lot, not to mention the bleeding and swelling with pus. It's gross and painful is all I'm saying. There's also the rat thing going on, she's getting better but will still require some veterinary case including one more Roentgen scan and medications. And I'm not sure I can afford both of these this time. The rent is sucking me dry and I'm looking for a new flat after my contract terminates.

If you have anything to spare and feeling generous, you can support me:
