LESS THAN 48 HOURS LEFT UNTIL EVICTION
My friend and her cat are running low on food and are about to lose their home if this crowdfund can't be met. If that happens, EVERYTHING she built for herself will be left behind.

🚨🚨 Bad update: I've been given notice. I have a hard deadline of 12/12.

Since I've received so little aid, I'm technically back at $0. Bills, cat care/food, groceries all depleting.

Goal $1,450, pls send to shockofthequeen16 💙

🚨URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST🚨

Goal: $1,450

Hiya all! I had expected to be out of this cycle by now but a payment I was counting on to cover my Dec bills & jump me forward on bills/income after being unable to work much of the year was 95% shorter than expected.

I learned this year that I suffer from several disabilities, and horrific flare ups resulted in me having to restructure how I live/work entirely from scratch, putting me in this financial hole now.

Please DONATE $ if you can and SHARE/RETWEET with words expressing urgency. It makes a world of difference.
Thank you!

In the spirit of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth and #IndigeNovember, I'm making a #MutualAid post.

If you are indigenous & need a financial boost, post your c4sh l1nks below! Outreach has not been great, but I want to help as best as I can!

Mine is also below if you so choose 🥺

The 4th year of #IndigeNovember starts this weekend! Here are rules and the prompts! If you have questions, feel free to message me! Indigenous peoples from all over (full or mixed) are welcome to join! Keep in mind all creatives are welcome; it doesn't HAVE to be drawings! 😊💖

A graphic explaining what Indigenovember entails. It reads:

"Inspired by #Blacktober, it is an event in the month of November
where Indigenous creators (by any medium) can express themselves.
They can either follow the prompt list or post anything they want
whenever they want! I only ask that if you post something NSFW or
disturbing in the tag, please tag/tw them accordingly!

I thought of this as the perfect time for an event like this because of
the fact November is Native Heritage Month! I wanted to create an
event that can allow fellow Natives (full or mixed) to have fun and be
creative all month long! With that, have fun and be nice to each other!

*NOT limited to indigenous peoples of the US*"

Rules for the event. They read:

"Rules:
*NSFW is allowed as long as it is tagged/censored.

*Unfortunately, because breasts are yet to be re-normalized,
it would be best to tag them as breasts or nudity.

PLEASE Absolutely No:
*Non-con/SA
*Pedophilia
*Incest
*Homophobia
*Transphobia
*Racism
*Colorism
*Xenophobia
*Ableism
*Any form of
"Problematic" Content"

A list of the weekly prompts
It reads:

"Week 1. Community:
What does community mean to you? Do you have one?
Or are you on your way to developing your own?

Week 2. Limited Color:
A small challenge where you're restricted to using 2 colors.
(Neutrals excluded from restriction)

Week 3. Tech:
What's a cool piece of tech that you like or want to know about?
It can be just the item, or someone presenting it!

Week 4. Treasure
Not only gold and jewels, but small treasures you may find in
your daily life. See a lost trinket? What interests you?

A list for the daily prompts. They are:

1. Native Headcanon
2. Favorite Color
3. Bug
4. Comfort
5. Rain
6. Moth
7. Love Language
8. Death
9. Chair
10. Pelt
11. Eyes
12. Tech
13. Fish
14. Moon
15. Native OCs
16. Show
17. Comb
18. Shadow
19. Light
20. Weapon
21. Limited Color
22. Nose
23. Meal
24. Shopping
25. Leather
26. Mirror
27. Pride

#blacktober The month's almost over but I'd like to give out a PSA

Go support the sister events that'll take place in November, as well as May next year!

Indigenovember is for all Indigenous creatives, and Maysia's for all Asian creatives. Both were influenced by Blacktober and deserve support too
