The suffering is now doubled.
Your contributions will revive our hopes of enduring.

nothing yet today

just need 3 folks who have a spare $5 and I'd be set

more of course is extremely beneficial as I'll be back to not crowdfunding because it made me too sick assuming no more emergency med bills

was waiting to see if I'd need more serious dental work and thankfully I don't but that still doesn't change the exam being nearly double what I was quoted

making it a stretch to cover this month's $120 payment. Any help is greatly appreciated, shares also deeply helpful gofund.me/70f55768c

my partner is still eligible, and despite multiple immunocompromising conditions, this (because it is counted as immunosuppressing) appears to be the actual basis. so yeah, if this is you, check in.

something some trans woman pals might be interested to know, courtesy of someone on heart meds: spironolactone makes you eligible for an nhs covid jab.

Two large accounts have done fake alt text today, and I've muted them both.

C'mon, folks, it's bad enough to not use alt; it's worse to pretend you have so you get the original Bsky community to share.

It's ME(Jaime) @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · Nov 11

Muting/blocking larger accounts who don't use alt, unfortunately.

Fake alt, like "a picture" are really disappointing, too.

This morning we witnessed an ICE action on our block.

This afternoon I saw this woman standing where it happened.

She was still there this evening.

I took her a bottle of water and asked her if she was standing vigil.

She looked at me with pain on her eyes and said "It's all I can do"

A woman wearing a dark green hooded clock stands motionless on a sidewalk holding a candle. A candle burns at her feet.

literally can't even make a silly thread about some guy eating too much HARIBO without it becoming a national scandal because our state broadcaster decided not to include the fact this man is a racist media figure as if that's just no big deal.

trasgernder @gemma.transwrites.world · 1d

edit: turns out the guy in the story is a nasty horrible racist prick. Naturally the BBC did not feel this was important to disclose. But it absolutely is, he is not just "some guy" he's a racist media figure.
