my grandmother just died, we spent more money than we have trying to take care of her too and for a number of years the only way my family has survived is pooling our resources.

please help.

if you can donate it would be much appreciated, if not if you can share this maybe someone else might.

really have to wonder what the breaking point will be at which revolution will finally occur in the US. things will definitely keep getting worse until then but many nations would and have had successful revolutions long before the point we're at.

This is urgent. We have no food in the fridge and freezer and have been living off of oatmeal and Pb and Js for 3 days now. Please help if you can or at the very least repost this so more people can see!

Juniper @coffinfairy.bsky.social · 13h

Screenshot of text that reads: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and l ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not

Screenshot of text that reads: everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

if you're not ready to go all in on Linux and you are able, often you can get a fairly bare bones refurbished computer for under $200 and some are pretty decent for what they are. get one with Linux or get one and install Linux on it to start adjusting to it without going all in.

there are some differences in Green parties from country to country, but the British Green party is overtaking the Labor party or their version of the Democrats. if it can happen in England then maybe it's not so unrealistic in America? though then again the Dems and GOP do use lots of dirty tricks.

More evidence that the #climate emergency affects *everything* - it should be front & centre of ALL government decisions. As well as serious adaptation (petition here petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7300…) Govt must urgently stop making things worse eg greenlighting high carbon airport expansion

UK must prepare buildings for 2C rise in global temperature, government told

Climate advisers warn that current plans to protect against extreme weather are inadequate

Day 15: CAVE 🦇🙂

#SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

SUPERBATOBER 15: CAVE -- Batgirl and Supergirl are in the Batcave! Along with Batman who is staring at his large computer screen with the words: "SMILE, BATMAN. STOP BEING SO GRUMPY." Batman is convinced this is Joker's doing. Supergirl is about to confess something else, at the franticness of Batgirl.

Who do YOU, my dear reader of this ALT tag, think is the culprit? Tune in next week! Same Bat channel. Same Bat website.

I canceled Office365 when they really started shoving AI into everything and it finally ran out a few weeks ago. Now Microsoft is giving my computer a hard reset and sending me to a "setup" screen that is basically just them begging my to subscribe to something, anything.

Best Linux ad ever.

The only way to "fight back" at this point is revolution. The Democrat Party isn't coming to save us. If they wanted us all to have healthcare they'd provide a single-payer system that covers everyone for everything from cradle to grave. They won't do that. Blue NY won't even pass the NY Health Act.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 1d

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.
