Submitted by Yaakov Akiva (they/them) for the Pride Signs project. People who identify as Queer and disabled can submit signs they would have carried at pride events if these events were made accessible. All submissions must have a reference to f@lastine. Fundraisers will be included in every post.

Yaakov on their piece:

I’ve seen folks say in recent days that if their rescue would cost hundreds of people their lives, they don’t want it, and yet some of those same folks live without proper Covid precautions and risk costing countless people their health and lives through unmitigated spread every day.

If pride events or local protests were safe and accessible for me, this is the sign I wish I could be holding.

You can follow Yaakov on IG at yaakov.akiva

Please amplify and share the second and third slides, and donate if you can! I will be donating $10 and I want to see if anyone is able to match it or up to it by donating between $1-$10. any amount helps and it does add up.

When donating do not say what it's about. Either leave a thank you note or use a food emoji.

To follow this project along with other queer, disability, and anti-zionist Jewish advocacy, follow pqdj_archive on IG.

Hey Americans, it’s fall 2023 and the adult Covid vaccines are STILL FREE at certain pharmacies. Even if you have no health insurance. Even if you have health insurance but the insurance company likes to whine about CVS being “out of network” for vaccinations.

Find out more FAQ stuff from the CDC here:

And find your local locations with free vaccines below. Once you’ve put in your zip code and hit “go”, on the next page, make sure to click the checkbox that says “BRIDGE Access Participant” so you know these locations have the free shots.

Hello! My name is Haji. i am a black disabled writer with long Covid who needs help making it while I look for remote employment. I don’t really have many options and doing sex work is detrimental to my mental health and safety. GFM: gofund.me/26d7eb02 Pp: erosinplush@gmail.com and CApp: $lanymphenoire

Imagine if Kuukou did become a vtuber. We all know Ichiro would be a fan of vtubers. One day, Ichiro is looking around looking for a vtuber to watch, and he finds one who seems familiar? He clicks on it to hear Kuukou's voice and how Kuukou is trying to convince people to donate to him so he can create the metaverse temple. Of course, after that, Ichiro becomes his number one supporter (and some anonymous person who might or might not be Hitoya)

lol kuukou’s vtuber experience trying to get his metaverse hub world up and running will probably go like

‘chat, imma be real with y’all, i don’t know what the hell i’m supposed to do with this’

A lotta Libertarian-types are really obsessed with the same dollar never being taxed twice, but have no problem with workin'-class people bein' charged twice by corporations, once in taxes when they get public subsidies, an' once when they sell the products at full price.

We already paid fer it, it oughta be ours. The public should own everythin' publicly funded. If capitalists want private ownership, then they oughta fund it privately.

ID (also in Alt Text): clipboard holding a print out of a multi layer reusable mask pattern (with a pocket for adding more protection!) on top of the pattern is a patchwork mass of fabric covering the mask shape.

Craft posting pt two !! I'm making a reusable mask (w/ pocket to put in Better Masks and things that work to protect better than plain fabric (bc. You Know,,, That's Not Enough.) bc I'm running out of disposables and have no money to buy more :') and I go to a. College campus every day and them thangs is POPULATED

So yeah! I scavenged these fabric bits from around the school and I think I have enough to make two or three, which will be Extremely helpful for when I'm low on spoons or forget to wash them the night before (which is all the time, also I don't have a dryer so if I forget, washing in the morning isn't an option) :') but! It's worth it to me to keep masking! It makes me feel safe, I prefer to conceal my face, and I love knowing I'm doing my part the best I can to protect others and myself!

This is the pattern I'm using! If you're interested but don't have a printer hmu and send me a tip over $app or Ven (name in my bio) and I'll print it out for you and mail it :)

Hey.

Hey, Tumblr.

Research Aid Networks is trying to crowdsource funding for a Long Covid clinical trial.

https://gofund.me/f67950ae

The trial would research the hypothesis from the April 2023 paper in the journal Frontiers in Immunology: Hypothesis: inflammatory acid-base disruption underpins Long Covid.

This research would have implications for ME/CFS as well.

Tumblr, I know that you either have LC/ME/CFS yourself or you know someone with it. This shit is fucking awful.

This hypothesis needs to be researched.

If you can't donate, please reblog. And spread it to other platforms.

No-one helps us except us. Tumblr, I bet you we can get this shit funded.

i'm sick

[cookinguptales]

well, how about this, while I wait for the roofers to come fix the mess they made of my ceiling. just so I can feel like I'm doing something productive.

since my savings are now significantly smaller than they were a week and a half ago, I guess now's a good enough time as any to start talking about some half-decided plans I have for this upcoming story I've been writing, and perhaps other original stories as well if this goes well.

while I'm still going to be posting the bulk of my work on AO3 like I usually do, I think I'm also going to be launching a patreon!

here's the soft plan, though I'm still working out details:

serialize this story at a chapter each week, which will probably take a few months overall.

chapters will be posted to AO3 the same day every week, and a week early on patreon.

extra material will also be on patreon, from author commentary to essays on historical/mythological background that's going into the story to extra fics that will be a few thousand words each. (or... so.)

the main story will fully stand alone. extra scenes will be like... stuff happening from other POVs offscreen, flashbacks, a sappy post-story fic, etc.

after the story is fully done being posted, an ebook version of the story will be made available to patrons with thanks, etc. to everyone who supported the project.

??? repeat?? m/m minotaur story this time, f/f witch who owns a familiar animal shelter story next time. lmao

part of me is still like "no, no one will pay money to support your writing" but like. I've seen worse writers than me make money, I guess, so why not try? it's not like it can hurt, and it can be fun to experiment with new methods of distribution sometimes.

I'll probably post a survey once I've finished the rough draft of the fic so I can plan out the finer details, but that's my basic plan. I want to write the whole fic and edit it before I start posting anything, and at the rate I'm going... I'm aiming for the beginning of May? it's at about 70k rn, and I'm thinking it probably has about 10-20k to go.

so I guess we'll see!!!

in the meantime, if you are a person who is interested in any of this and you have feedback about the project, feel free to lmk! anon or logged in, either is fine. lemme know if there are any patreon perks you'd like to see or if you have ideas about pricing/tiers/etc.

I'm very new to this so I'm open to ideas and opinions!

fingers crossed. lmao

if you live in the USA and are feeling especially overwhelmed rn, remember we are living through both a modern day civil rights movement (like the 1960s) and a genocide that our govt is funding (like the Holocaust). keep fighting. if you need a break, rest up. take care of yourself. i believe that we will win.

[toytulini]

god im not starting shit on the post but "medical and pharmaceutical companies thank you for your long term patronage" really does not work as a thing to shame anti maskers. this is not a system i get to opt out of even by masking. unfortunately, i really dont think masking is pwning the predatorily priced healthcare system in the usa. especially considering how many of the ppl who are still doing it are unfortunately beholden to it anyway for some other fucking reason. fuck, even if i didnt have medications i take everyday anyway, the company i buy n95s from is a fucking medical /surgical supply company? its such a weird. just. no.

I’ve always had trouble justifying why the Fallout pre-war society would be so normal and why people wouldn’t be quarantining like crazy because of the New Plague/Blue Flu but in the “post” Covid era it makes perfect sense. The quarantine for the New Plague first went into effect in 2053 so by 2077 of course people would be back out and about acting normal even if the sickness was still largely uncured and problematic.
