I just want those who -do- have spare money in #mastodon4harris and #mastodonForHarris to take a step back from feeling big emotions at the poor crowding the tag seeking help and consider this one thing:

Those in the tag are either a) fellow voters who are going to vote harris over trump bc its our survival too Or b) international readers who also would support her but theyre too! Broke! To! Live!!

The poor are in the tag bc we belong there. We are part of it.

Fix your hearts or die, like the man said.

cuz like, here's the deal, okay

i actually sat down and caculated all mutual aid posts that i could find in the span of one hour of scrolling the hash

and the total number of money that would be needed to solve all of them would be around $100k, plus-minus 50k more.

that's less than half what was donated to harris. in mere DAYS.

this is what angers me the most - our pain is completely unnecessary, it's solvable, but it is manufactured by indifference, hubris and bigotry.

i need people to seriously understand that if you manage to raise 500,000 USD for a political donation, you will be doing massively more good in many ways if you just give that money away, in 1000 to 2000 usd blocks to people who are homeless and need to make a deposit on housing, there is no political donation that will ever do remotely as much good as helping one homeless person get a warm place to sleep #mastodon4harris

hi, i'm tillian. i am a 20-year old suicidal neurodivergent queer enby in almaty, kz. i have been trapped in an abusive queerphobic household for years. i'm collecting money to run away from them and be able to live on my own for at least a year while looking for a job.

in the past i had been able to collect more money but my college and medical expenses reduced it back to around $4000.

i need your help. please

hey, new day new post, normally i do one and then update that but with the #MastodonForHarris tag being as big as it is, it wont be seen.

you have all seen everyone's angry posts by now. i dont need to do another. i had some glib moments im proud of, and others have written far better takedowns than i ever could. so this is my update on my status as one of the trans people you could be helping directly.

i have done... three? four? posts so far, and received $230, more than i got from #mutualaid in the rest of this month combined, and i am so thankful to all who have helped. i appreciate you so much.

i am a trans woman in indiana who was fired eleven months ago for being trans. i have been job searching intensely for the entire time, but no one wants to hire a trans. my immediate need is to sustain my family, but once i am employed, all my focus will go toward saving to flee this red state. all i ask is for help to keep my job search going; i cant do it while homeless.

my family (disabled spouse and two dogs) cannot make our rent this month. we have a number of other expenses as well, but those payments can be late. if we wanted to pay everything, i would be asking for two thousand. but im not. i just want rent. i just want to stay here so i can keep trying to get a job and pay this myself.

i'm at 230/1200.

posting this again for the new hashtag #Mastodon4Harris (they moved, note the "4" instead of "for")

i'm currently unemployed and job searching and couch surfing. i'm an impoverished neurodivergent trans woman just trying to survive and find stability

hey all! while you have been doing this big bonfire, Reed Hastings personally donated $7million while she went to Comic Con to talk about the simpsons. when rich people and corporations can do that at the drop of a hat, your donations mean nothing to her and mean nothing in the fight for marginalized people. using your donations for direct action is the most effective thing you can do with your money to protect us from the far right, both now and in the future, even when she wins. #NoHashtagEdition #MastodonForHarris #Mastodon4Harris

hey anyone in the #uk want their #retro computer/console fixed? i need smth to do ​

I'm running out of hot sauce so let's talk about other spicy food products.

Takis Fuego

I don't like them! And not because of the spiciness, because there's actually very little of it in these. The problem is the amount of sour they add to the flavor to try to make it taste hotter than it actually is. In the end it just tastes like a damn lemon meringue.
