We've barely been scraping by since Trump took office, but the shutdown took a desperately needed job with it and we're now scrambling to make next month's rent. It's a long shot but I have to at least try.
I'd love to repay bigger donations with art/body doubling/etc!

someone can only demand you be so small for them for so long before you just can't anymore. your brain no longer works that way. it's not real feelings they're expressing, it's justification to keep you small so they can feel big, or like they're in control. and so what? control your own life.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

look. call your senator. but don't forget that requiring you to do this every single time, even when it's something obviously and unambiguously evil being passed, is part of a system designed to wear us down and close off our ability to imagine a better world

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year.
The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices.
But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low.

Friends don't let friends follow Alt National Park Service. This is so weird and inappropriate!!!
AltNPS's post is full of the same lurid details and breathless dramatization as their previous attempt at ICE raid erotica from a few weeks ago.
Things that AltNPS could not possibly have witnessed, and which aren't reported anywhere else.

You there. I want you to say, aloud, at some point today "I'm really glad I'm good at..." And then you're gonna say something you think you do pretty well.
If you don't think you do anything pretty well, I want you to say "one little thing that makes me unique is..."
And if you can't do either?

Help me escape Taco Bell. Last night a customer threw sauce at me.
The best help I can ask for is more patreons. Right now I’m receiving about $450/mo from Patreon. This supplements the income I get from working at Taco Bell, about $1200/mo. More Patreon = less Taco Bell, more writing, more road trips, more life on my terms
