Reminder to keep supporting @shahednhall !!
Her sisters are sick and in pain, but being turned away from medical facilities because others have worse conditions and there is no room.
Please help Shahd take care of her family and get them to safety!
Shahd reaches out to me almost daily even though she struggles to get good internet access. Her sisters are all she has. I just donated $10, through @journalsforpalestine but they need much more than that.
Please stand with me to support Shahd 💜

only ninja funding options i’ll accept
odd jobs and miscellaneous shenanigans that result in them ingratiating themselves with a handful of salesfolk around ninjago. e.g. the people of jamanakai having a fondness for lloyd after experiencing both Shitty Little Kid attacking them in s1 and The Green Ninjaâ„¢ saving them in s4
actual real life jobs between seasons (s2 and 4 ily)
pixal’s investments
residuals from licensing (the ninja video game from s1 and s4 <3. and the movies and the actual merch made by dareth from s6 lmao)
residuals from jay’s TV-Show-Which-Will-Not-Be-Named (now on streaming. it’s real-kid-now-unagami’s favorite show)
ideally all at once. but also? they do not need traditional funding. this is an urban fantasy. they are not paying rent (when living on the bounty/monastery). they can and do grow a significant amount of their own food when they do have a place to live. they have multiple times explicitly started businesses?? after they already were publicly known for saving people? when would the government have started funding them if not then. the ideal ninja state is not worrying about money unless it’s funny, and then they’re spider-man.
#THEY ARE NOT FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THATS NOT CANON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING#literally nothing has ever implied that why do people keep parroting it#that’s not even a superhero trope the vast majority of superheroes are normal guys struggling like the rest of us#text✨#not ninjago tagging i don’t want to fight about this bc the person talking about it is someone im mutuals with. sorry but#i vehemently disagree#there’s so much more fun to have with wondering how the ninjago economy works than#saying for no reason that they’re taxpayer funded. even fandom makes the superhero thing in s11 more of a thing than canon does#if you need them to make money for story bring back the odd jobs i think zane found his calling as a teppanyaki chef

im so glad that we never get a clear picture of sophie’s background in leverage & i hope we never do. however i also really like making up various, often conflicting backstories for her in my head. perhaps they’re all backstories for an alias of hers, ones she laid to rest back in season two.
#leverageposting#leverage#sophie devereaux#particularly that one of or both her parents had to move around a lot for work & so she would change herself to fit in at every new school#or new town etc etc. and that whatever original identity she had was dropped due to some kind of really awful event and her bio family think#she’s dead. eg she got into some kind of extreme legal trouble for the first time & she faked her death & everyone she knew as a kid thinks#she’s dead too. like. astrid wasn’t the first person she left to miss/mourn her.#but also that she was a teen runaway at like age ~16 and pretended to be an adult (like. 18/19) cause theres not much you can do by yourself#as a minor like booking flights or renting an apartment. and so began her first proper alias. and she was a pickpocket until she could fund#her life fully through grifting & cons.#or alternatively her parents died when she was a teen & she was old enough to become an emancipated minor (everyone in lev is an orphan)#and she kind of just fell into crime from there bc she had no one#or perhaps she got married at 17 and realised how fucked it all was and stashed money until she could run away & leave it all behind. that’s#bc of a single vague sentence on john rogers’ blog saying she was married at 17 and in context it was quite possibly a joke or random#hypothetical example but i was like what if???? What If???????#i also like the hc that she’s trans which i’ve seen a few times#in some versions in my mind her parents were okay and in some versions they were awful and in some versions it was so complicated.#i think tara has heard one story and parker or hardison have heard another and nate has never heard any story. he’s never asked.#she is here now and that’s all that needs knowing. and sophie devereaux is her real name in any way it matters.#eliot has also never asked and she asked if he was curious once and he just asked if she was curious about What He Did and that was answer#enough for the both of them. just a mutual agreement not to ask and it actually solidified their bond.#i think she struggled for a long time about whether to tell her new family The Real Story but in much the same way we never hear her birth#name bc it’s not Her anymore… she never gives The Real Story. bc it no longer defines who she is. she’s so much more than whatever happened.#lvg

Updating my donation post as it's been a few months. I'm still struggling with being homeless and I recently lost my health insurance (yayy turning 26!)
I've applied for section 8 at a local large city but that can take time. I'm also in the months long process of applying for SNAP/medicaid. I've also applied for financial assistance through my work to help me as well but I'm unsure of the turn around time or how much they can assist me.
Currently with the cost of rent in my local area the best option might be for me to renovate a free mobile home. However I need to move it to a lot/mobile home park with hookups and that can cost alot of money. The current estimate I got is around $8,000.
This doesn't include the lot rent per month or the cost of fixing the mobile home. But I do get to own the trailer after and can sell it once I have my feet under me again and ready to move.
I've been looking into so many different options but I'm struggling with finding something in my budget. Current income restricted housing is at a 1 to 2 year wait list. Others require a $48 per person application before you get to even see the apartment (for a one bedroom no less)
I've already made so many sacrifices during this year including not perusing fighting to get my cat back. Unfortunately with the way I can't find housing there wasn't a hope I could find housing and have it allow pets.
I've anyone has suggestions for finding roomates (that's not Facebook) or housing please feel free to message me
I'm also doing donation doodles for any donation over $10, give me a suggestion or prompt when you donate otherwise you get a bug art lol
#star's art#artist on tumblr#my art#mutual fund#Homeless#fundraising#Donation doodles#Kofi#artist on kofi#Housing help#Currently homeless and disabled and I don't have insurance so Im missing my doctor appointment and running out of my ptsd medicine#I'm working two jobs right now as best as I can#But I'm so tired and I just want to finally have a home#I miss my craftroom#I miss having my own personal space#I miss my garden#My cat#Oh ginger I miss you so much#You don't know why I left and never came back#I'm sorry I can't get you#I'm sorry he won#I didn't even get to go to pride this year cause it was fucking sold out and I was hoping to connect with the booths that would help me#I'm so so tired#I've been struggling for so long now#Average rent here is $800 for a one bedroom and over a $1000 for anything else#I've been priced out of where I've been living for over 13 years#And it's not like I can just get random roommates im fucking transgender like that's literally dangerous#I'm disabled and transgender and homeless with ptsd and I'm so tired#Universal basic income when

hey guys, this isn’t my usual post and yada yada but a very kind man from Gaza has been reaching out to me for the past month or so asking for help for his family. previously he has needed money for a surgical operation on his brother’s hand, which has thankfully been met, but now he and his family are faced with displacement from Khan Yunis.
not only will this further disrupt their lives, it also prevents them from being able to begin operating on his brother, and risks amputation if he cannot get the surgery in time. they are unable to simply walk with all of their belongings, food and water, and being able to find transportation will help immensely.
I’ve set up a GoFundMe for their evacuation. The goal is only $500 *to rent a car. Please donate as much as you can or share with as many people. Thank you
** edit:
I’m also going to include the PayPal belonging to his friend, to be more direct. I’m sorry if this appears like a scam, I’m kind of new to everything about this, but I promise it’s real.

Do you want to support fundraising efforts but feel overwhelmed?
As a white auDHD* person engaged in mutual aid efforts, I have some advice. Take what works for you, leave the rest. These strategies have been effective for me, and while not perfect, they can be beneficial. The important part is to *do* something.
See posts at a time that doesn't work for you? Save them somewhere for later and set a dedicated time each day/week/month to work through your list and move funds around.
Overwhelmed because of the sheer volume of asks? Create a system that works for you - give to the next one you see, prioritize the ones that are the closest or furthest from making their goal, etc. The only bad system is one that doesn't get people funds.
Worried that you're sending too little? It all adds up! 100 people sending $5 is $500. Consider finding a match to double your impact! That said, don't sit too comfy with your contributions, especially if you're financially privileged. If $5 is comfortable for you, bump up to $10 and so on.
Worried about sending too much? Set a budget. Stick to it. I will say, from experience, that this is highly unlikely and most of us have more than we think. You may find you can sacrifice some luxuries to help others in need.
Person you want to support is in a different country/currency/use a pay app/website you can't? The easy answer to this is to find someone else to support. But there are ways to work around this. Use your friends and networks to move money around. Paypal from Canada to the US and forward via Venmo. Use Wise to transfer from the UK to Canada and forward via etransfer. Etc etc etc.
Genuinely cannot afford to part with any funds? Share directly with your networks and include a call to action. It can be overwhelming and counteractive to reblog/forward every fundraiser. Instead, create a system with clear and appropriate boundaries.
Concerned about scams? Examine your suspicions of scams - these often arise from biases. Check resources for validity. When in doubt, help someone else. No need to report suspected scammers - just say no and move on.
*IMPORTANT NOTE* always always always send as friends and family. This lessens fees and taxes for the recipient.
Make fund redistribution a core aspect of your life. Incorporate it into your budget. Send funds at regular intervals based on how your income works. Dedicating 5-10% of your income is a really great place to start.
Feel free to add other tips and advice in the tags. Friendly reminders that shame is not an effective motivator and sustainable action is imperative.
*I specify this because a lot of flavours of neurodivergence deal with black and white thinking and/or perfectionism and it impacts our ability to *do* things. These are also tenets of white supremacy and do require us to actively work against them, even when it's uncomfortable/distressing.
massive massive thank you to @bbreaddog for proofing this for me <3
#mutual aid#collective care#community care#reparations#fund redistribution#donations#god i'm absolutely terrified to let this out into the wild but i know that people get stuck and sometimes all we need is a gentle push#or some guidance#it would be great if people just knew things and took action accordingly but the world doesn't work that way#and i wish i'd had this information years ago when i was just figuring things out myself

#ive recently become serious about the thought of trying to start a community land trust im like daydreaming about community ownership of my#building#we’ll have a childcare co-op and a community kitchen….we’ll pay land rent to the manahatta project and have a mutual aid fund#for people who get in a bind#like I know all the details together are impossible without serious money behind it but life could be a dream…#personal#anyway I’m thinking through the steps and they’re like. step one get a job in housing operations (im fucking trying dude) while getting more#into mutual aid communities in my actual neighborhood#step two uh get good at finance. or find someone who is. work at a land trust maybe.#step three: ??

I'm feeling kind of desperate and mostly tired but if you want to lend me a hand or help some people in hard countries eat and do whatever else
You could totally maybe donate to my paypal
@ari387
Because I'm almost $400 in debt from just trying to help people and the debt being there makes it harder for my friend to make money because my paypal is often what we use to collect money he makes for jobs
Basically I need to get out of debt regardless, and getting out of debt would help him greatly too. If I get passed the debt from the donations, any extra will be used to help my friends.
I'm disabled and they live in country/s where things are rough so it's hard to make money
The people I love need to eat and take care of themselves and there's not much else to it
Anything helps.
I'm willing to take simplistic commissions for art or writing as long as you understand I'm not skilled and mostly make things for my own enjoyment.
Maybe I'll livestream some video games again soon but last time I tried it lagged so much that it wouldn't have been worth watching
If you have any odd jobs I can do through the internet, I'm willing
#I don't want to beg but I'm willing to. I'm willing to work too but nothing is really working rn#I'm tired and maybe I shouldn't make this post while I'm already upset about numerous other things but it's always worth another shot ig#painful writer#my post#mutual aid#crowd fund#queer#disabled#lgbtq+

Help my Trans Nonbinary Partner Finish their Opticianry Program
Hi folks! I'm not usually one to post these things, but my partner, Liam (they/he), is currently in the process of studying to be a licensed optician in the state of Massachusetts, and we've run into some trouble.
Liam's employer was ostensibly going to cover a significant portion of their tuition costs, but Warby Parker recently asked them to sign a new, highly predatory contract which would require much more than the contract they had initially signed. It also would put them in jeopardy of having to repay everything in a short period of time were they fired or laid off, which is concerning giving the company's attitude towards their chronic pain needs.
As such, after consulting others with experience regarding labor contracts, they have decided not to sign this new contract, which puts them in a tricky financial place. We could use a little help getting the money they need to keep their schooling going. I should note that their current work is contingent upon them being a student, since without that status their certification is invalid.
If you can spare anything to help a wonderful person and a vocal advocate for trans inclusion in their industry, we would be forever thankful!
#mutual aid#opticianry#trans#nonbinary#go fund them#i love my partner so very much and they shine their brightest doing this work#Warby Parker

my therapist on saturday: what happened to you is una putada (a shitty situation) so it's best to take it slow, and relax this week, don't do anything academia related, just chill.
me, today: receives my first positive answer from a foreign professor willing to supervise my phd proposal and writes them a wholeass essay as a reply email with around 10 attachements. and right after that i start looking for more phd options.
#tomorrow i'll be chill i promise!!!#(well i'll work on my ma dissertation but that's chilling for me)#also i'm kinda excited (i'm trying not to cause. you know. but still) cause it would be in cardiff#and given that i am currently enrolled in a welsh university i wanted to go to irl but in the end could only be online...#it's kinda like poetic justice you know?? like it was meant to be#and the professor is super sweet!!! and she's greek which <3333 southern european besties#she's honestly my best shot at this rn. but. and big but.#i need to know if i can apply to a scholarship or fund my phd before applying to the program#cause i can only do this with funding#and the website is very complicated and i'm getting a bit stressed#so if there's any uk mutual that knows stuff about phd funding and wants to help please do i'm begging on my knees rn

i'm so fucking sick of seeing horrific news with zero info on what's being done to help. stop showing us all these fucking bans on trans healthcare if we can't do anything about it. point us toward organizations that are helping. share mutual aid requests from people who need help moving out of unsafe states.
the journalism industry at large is irresponsible as fuck. we know this. but holy fuck, where is the news site that's about empowering people to make things better rather than just using horrific headlines to get views and offering NO hope whatsoever?
#i swear to fucking christ i'm about one Bad News headline away from starting something myself#and i don't know jack shit about journalism#but i swear to god... if anyone wants to partner in starting a News presence#that makes a point to only share headlines with resources of what people can do to help#please fuckin message me because i swear if i have people working with me i'll fucking do it#i'm fucking sick of this shit#do you know how many times i've seen anti-trans news articles#and gone looking for resources of like. organizations to support.#SOME semblance of hope and empowerment#and found jack shit??#google 'how to help the trans community in [conservative state]'#you won't find anything.#especially for emergency situations like what's going on in missouri#like. you can find the state's ACLU chapter.#and they'll say things like How To Be An Ally#but that's not fucking good enough#i want to see what organizations are helping people RIGHT THE FUCK NOW to relocate#i want to see what mutual aid funds are out there of trans people or families with trans kids#who desperately need to move somewhere safer#SHOW ME HOW TO HELP ACTUAL REAL LIVE PEOPLE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW OR DON'T SHOW ME THE NEWS

So. One of my teeth broke, a crown was deemed medically necessary, and my insurance approved it, only to turn around and say that they wouldn't cover it. Attempts to appeal the decision failed. Now I have a thousand dollar dental bill that I can't afford to pay.
If you enjoy my writing, please consider signal boosting or donating to my ko-fi. Otherwise, my PayPal is [email protected].
0/$1,075
#crowd funding#mutual aid#Dental#I'm really sorry about this#I know that this isn't what people follow me for#But I'm about to transfer to a four year university#And my school laptop is on the verge of dying#I have so many expenses coming up and just can't afford this#I may end up having to open commissions#But it would slow down my work on my existing projects so I'm hesitant#But if needs must

Today has thoroughly sucked
#personal;#vent post;#I forgot my meds last night so I woke up in So Much Pain this morning but dragged my ass to work anyway#only to hear from my current team lead (who has been trying to step down for MONTHS) that my last team lead AND my coach#are both actively telling her to not let me do any baking and only run freight when i was sent to the bakery/deli to //stop doing that//#So I'mma report it but it was never said to my face (bc they all know it's illegal I'll bet) so I doubt anything's gonna be done about it#I left work early and promptly dropped my phone face down thus making my case worthless as my screen fucking shattered#so I've bought a $20 replacement kit from god damn amazon bc I don't have the money to take it somewhere and I am STILL paying it off#I laid down for an hour and a half and didn't manage to nap#my head hurts#I'm exhausted#I'm angry#I want to cry#but instead i have to pull shit together and see about disability filing/lawyers AGAIN bc I missed the call from the last one by months#and it has since been months again so I doubt they're waiting on me#and It just gets more and more demoralizing when I see mutual aids going around and/or getting funded#bc i ain't ever gotten more than $20 and 10notes whenever I make posts which isn't anyone's FAULT#but man even fucking survival is a popularity contest and I've been losing from the moment I was fucking conceived
