uhh fellow WERIDOS... I am in a Pickle.

Recently my landlord raised my rent by some $30+. Next month's electric bill is unexpectedly high, and I haven't had the chance yet to pay my car loan. While my situation is not dire, I am feeling veryy pressed for funds rn. My car loan is due by I think.... The 19th which, yes, is tmrw, but I have a period of several days to pay it so Im not worried about late fees.

I'm asking for some help to handle these bills if you're able! The car payment is going to be $233.82, and the electric bill is $141.95. Im mostly concerned abt that car payment though... I wasn't going to post abt any of this bc for all my commie ideals I feel so ashamed and like it's my own fault when I'm strapped for cash... Like it's something I did wrong somehow. Idk. But there's no shame in asking for help! I wish I could promise smth, a reward, idk but I dont want to make false promises and I simply dont have the time to provide anything like that... All I can gurantee is that with financial concerns off my back I have more time to be creative and create for the fan bases Im in!

Okay. Lemme see.

HERE is my kofi.

Thanks sm!💿🖤🪐

#SayHerName: why Kimberlé Crenshaw is fighting for forgotten women

More than 70 black women have died at the hands of the police in the past three years. Professor and activist Crenshaw, who coined the term ‘intersectionality’ in the 1980s, is determined they will not be forgotten

When she speaks at public meetings, Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw has a trick. She asks everyone to stand up until they hear an unfamiliar name. She then reads the names of unarmed black men and boys whose deaths ignited the Black Lives Matter movement; names such as Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Trayvon Martin. Her audience are informed and interested in civil rights so “virtually no one will sit down”, Crenshaw says approvingly. “Then I say the names of Natasha McKenna, Tanisha Anderson, Michelle Cusseaux, Aura Rosser, Maya Hall. By the time I get to the third name, almost everyone has sat down. By the fifth, the only people standing are those working on our campaign.”

The campaign, #SayHerName, was created to raise awareness about the number of women and girls that are killed by law enforcement officers. For Crenshaw – who coined the term “intersectionality” in the 1980s to describe the way different forms of discrimination overlap and compound each other – it is a brutal illustration of how racism and sexism play out on black women’s bodies.

I AM BEGGING YOU TO HELP SAVE DUSTIN HIGGS

Dustin Higgs is a Maryland based artist on Death Row for a crime he did not commit -

He was convicted and sentenced to the federal death penalty as an accomplice to the 1996 murders of Tanji Jackson, Tamika Black and Mishann Chinn. It was the first federal death sentence handed down in Maryland in the modern era.

Dustin was not the person who actually shot the three women. In fact, it was Willis Haynes who pulled the trigger, and he was sentenced to life in prison plus 45 years after a separate jury spared him the death penalty for the crime. With the resumption of federal executions in 2020, Dustin's life is at serious risk.

He is sentenced to be excecuted on Jan 15. 2021. 3 days before MLK Day and just 5 DAYS BEFORE THE NEW FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION IS PUT IN PLACE

Hope for the future

This is what anti-fascism looks like.

transcript of the screenshot:

A bright spot from a friend in Philly:

The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The "belly of the beast" rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means.

2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names.

No right-wing rally every coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time.

The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up.

Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you.

Don't know why you would follow me, but thanks.

halyna hutchins’s death was 100% preventable and is absolutely part of the same labor issues iatse has been fighting to rectify and making it about anything else or anyone else is disrespectful
