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 I 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

Screenshot of text that reads: have no where else to turn. I'm doing 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

you are on bluesky because elon musk's daughter cut him off after she came out and he thought she caught the trans from twitter, so he bought twitter hoping to prevent trans people from existing. it's why you're here, it's why the site was here when you got here.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 14h

The scale of it is unimaginable. What they're spending, the sheer amount of effort being put into opposing trans people's human rights, it's a struggle to conceptualise the extent of it.

It's why Elon Musk bought twitter.

Howdy! @czamboni.bsky.social and I are looking to connect with TTRPG / LARP creators from outside of North America creating games that address oppression and resistance from a cultural perspective. We're putting together a list for potential guests for our podcast-in-progress!

I will defend like, 95% of TLJ 'til I die. My one really beef was that it was Yoda giving the "ehh, maybe the Jedi codes aren't all that" speech. Bitch please, you sound like an American politician wondering how we got Trump.

I have the visual dictionaries (I think that's what they're called) for the first two sequels and it's genuinely sad how much superb work was flushed down the drain.

That the murder of Brianna Ghey has been so completely co-opted by the "ban kids from using phones" brigade sickens me to my fucking core. Whatever her killers were looking at it's undeniable that the landslide of transphobic propaganda in the media played a crucial role in their choice of victim.

Sickening, ghoulish political theatre. Phones didn't kill Brianna, transphobes did. Transphobes who are nowsupported and empowered by the Labour government.

Joe Powell MP @joepowell.bsky.social · 19h

Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

I'm not sure it's common knowledge but there are literally thousands and thousands of people employed in India working 9-5 to train LLMs to be "smart" and "safe".

Tech bros laud it as a technological achievement but it's the same old story - just another way of hiding the real labor of people.
