mental illness sucks, poverty sucks, disability sucks, societal institutions suck. but we all know we are in this together and thats what keeps us going. what makes life possible.
transphobia is something that hurts me deeply. but i say without hesitation that even more than transphobia, it's mental illness that is the greatedst source of hardship in my life. if my brain worked better, i could navigate the sea of capitalism and colonialism and hate much more fluently and meet more of the demands placed on me. even though those pressures are themselves evil oppression, by meeting them i would be less hurt and be able to contribute more to my community and do more anticapitalist work and live a more fulfilling life.
what gets me through it is the community around me. and i do my best to give back more than i get. helping with the instances, organizing and hosting fun events, spreading mutual aid posts, and just doing my best to be a friend, all of it i love and am so glad im able to do because of all of your effort and support and understanding and presence.
thank you, all of you, not just my closest friends or members of our instances and discords, but every voice in this community for doing your part to help us all thrive together. even if you think you just are simply here and dont contribute, you do. being part of a community and engaging in good faith is one of the most helpful things anyone can offer.
i love fedi so much, and i hope i can continue to contribute for a long, long time.
:anarchy_a_transgender: DAY 7 - $797/1600 MUTUAL AID - RENT! :anarchy_a_transgender:
hi there. im rachael, a trans nonbinary woman trapped in a red state, living with my disabled partner and two dogs. i was fired last year for being trans, and despite a constant effort to find employment, no one local wants to hire a trans, and i have not found success with finding a remote job.
since neither of us can work, i need to ask for help with rent, so that i can continue the job search and escape to seattle. $1600 should cover that plus the necessary utilities to keep the apartment warm this winter.
additionally, if your workplace is looking for a remote software developer and is willing to hire someone even if theyre trans, please, DM me.
i appreciate so deeply all that fedi has done for me, and i appreciate all that you can do now to keep me and my partner and dogs safe. once im employed im going to put so much of that income back into mutual aid. i want to help you all, too.
anyone outside the US or who doesnt want to use venmo, @vantablack will accept it and pass it on to me. they have several payment methods in their bio. thank you vanta <3

dot lol has recently hit 200 users!! and more than half of them active!
this is so cool. im so happy to be part of something like this, fostering community and connection in an anarchist space, something many of us desperately needed. im so much happier and more confident because of my time here and im excited for the long haul :cyber_heart_purple:
thank you to our wonderful users for being so kind and supportive of each other and to me as well, this is an incredibly easy to moderate instance compared to a lot of the horror stories i hear. and it's because you all rock. :heart_cyber:
we've also started more activity nights, including watching movies together under the name SyndicateCinema. these nights are always so fun, and doing them on more days of the week allows more participation for those with different schedules. anyone on any instance (or not on fedi at all) is welcome! :heart_cyber_pink:
we've had some issues with infrastructure for our other instances, dot gay and dot ???, but we expect to have it all sorted in the first half of february. thank you for being patient, and for sticking with dot gay through this mild instability. if anyone wants a dot gay account, for the Time Being just dm me or vanta and we'll create your account manually.
