It has been 4 months. This really sucks. Please help me survive this. I am still homeless and landlord is refusing to test the house for mold or clean which means I will have to pay for it since I can't find anywhere else to live.
I don't understand why when I ask for help with something, I am told how to do the thing.
I am not asking for help because I don't know how the task works. I am asking for help because I need help. If I asked "how do I do this thing", then sure, tell me how to do the thing. But if I ask for assistance with the task, it means exactly that. I'm not stupid. I'm overwhelmed, sick, and cannot manage all of this alone.
The only people that have gone "masks off" are the "left". Over the past 2 weeks I have seen the egregious use and defense of "retarded" (but only at Nazis so it's okay!), a call to start calling disabled people "cripples" and "God's mistake" (but only at nazis so it's okay!), and a rapid increase of body shaming and general assholery.
It's happening here, and your favorites are fucking giddy at the idea of being able to say the naughty words for a thrill.
The truth is that most people regardless of politics don't give a shit about you no matter what, no matter how you have put yourself in danger to help them, no matter how you do everything right, they Do Not Care. Everything is a game, nothing is real, and you are a funny football they can kick to score points. It's why all our mutual aid goes unfunded.
Anyone have a lead on Bluesky mutual aid networks? How are they working, what hashtags are being used, best practices? Of course asking on Bluesky is impossible as I know no one doing mutual aid over there that isn't wealthy people with their 200% gofundmes after 24 hours.
I have no way to express how bad things are for me right now. I refuse to divulge it all, as it's simply not worth it. It's been months and I just haven't gotten any impactful amount of help, and most of it is from just one person. Please someone with lots of money notice me.
Don't be a victim of climate disaster, kids. No one fuckin cares.
You are not overreacting to fascism. I don't even know how you would overreact to fascism. Like, spontaneously combusting? Still feels reasonable to me. I'm not saying do that somehow, but it's very normal to freak the fuck out as long as you freaking the fuck out isn't hurting any innocents including yourself.
Does anyone have any good reading on the paralysed response by Americans to what is now full swing happening?
Multiple people I know are not even thinking straight, and seems like they are refusing to properly accept reality. Not that they don't intellectually know what is happening, but there is some disconnect where they aren't even thinking about how to be safe.
Like, properly targeted minority antifascist people acting like they can just continue as normal.
And just general advice: Do not freely give information about yourself to anyone you don't know very well. You have no idea who is secretly or not so secretly happy to make you disappear.
I am fairly certain the way nazis doxxed my address in Los Angeles was my next door neighbor in my building who was doing things like kicking our landlady's dog and got himself and his mother evicted.
You have to be more careful than you are being right now.
As someone currently homeless due to climate disaster and hasn't gotten much help, I want to remind y'all to pay special attention to the single and especially the single disabled who are being displaced now.
Everyone wants to help "families". Please remember the people that don't have those.
Disasters aren't solved in a week. You don't get evacuated and then handed a new place to live. For many it can take years to recover from, some may never recover. Don't think your friends will only need help this week or this month. Keep checking in with them. People are very quick to forget.
I'm still homeless from the flood with only 2 weeks left in my airbnb and nowhere else to go. I need funds to cover it along with food for myself and pets.
I have been to hospital 4 times since the flood. I am in near constant either pain or panic and am alone with no family or anyone nearby.
I need to make that kofi goal, like, yesterday. I would very much not like to be on the street for Christmas. And what's more Christmasy than giving to orphans?
okay, first, who the heck is saying "oh no my amazon packages" in response to a strike, that sounds made up or you just hang out with fascists
but SECONDLY
shut the absolute fuck up about "shop locally" as if there are not disabled people who rely on this type of service for basic necessities because they CAN'T SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE
I am beyond tired of y'all shaming disabled people when zero people here are offering to drive me to the store
