The Original Sin of politics was the invention of the passive voice, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Vague Unaccountability. Wild how all those violent ICE agents just … got hired … and deployed … somehow. Who can possibly say how? It’s all a mystery.

Anyone can damage anyone else. But the patterns we see among men--I'm so tired of people that some men harm having to strip-mine their own souls to get noticed. To get anyone to care. I've done it. No shame to any survivor who has. But I'm fucking tired of survivors having to carry this fight.

coming out is the biggest “crap, i guess i could maybe change that with a little effort" thing i ever did because you have to at least *try* for the sake of your self from time to time. agency is pretty amazing if you can get up the chutzpah to exercise it (sometimes that may take 20 years).

so i guess all the way down here in post 15 my point is maybe: if you’re trans you should come out. yes, even now. you should give transition a try for the sake of your self. and if you already came out, despite ways it’s made life harder (not your fault!) ask yourself: what else am i capable of?

$85/$855 💕💸 raised so far!! Thank you for making the thread Funds urgently needed to start moving out. I needed to use more of the rent allotment for hygiene products I couldn't go without. Pls read the note for an explanation. My links are ko-fi.com/twme8 PayPal.me/thirdworldmiss1 💕💸 #HelpSky
Hi, I'm Bonolo. I'm an unemployed single mom who would still like to make videos and more media about South African history and politics to share.
Right now, I need to see to the care of my child who's experienced many destabilising things because of the abuse I went through and decided to leave. 
We need to move closer to school and hopefully some work opportunities for myself.  Neither the school nor his father communicates about my son's progress and wellbeing, and I desperately want to provide this but I'm prohibited by distance+transport costs. Social services and amenities are also in walking distance of the school. 
We've survived this far with the help of generous friends and donors for which I am ETERNALLY grateful 💜🫶🏾✨
I have a goal of ±$855 for moving and normal expenses between now and October/November, broken down like this:
🔸Sept. Rent - $70 needed
🔸Security deposit+rent - ±$400
🔸Electricity - $35
🔸Groceries - $200
🔸Moving Transport - $100
🔸Moving Supplies - $50
I'm asking for help to raise the necessary amount and move ASAP. If you want to  make a donation to help reach the goal you can leave a message of encouragement or some spare cash here:
💠Ko-fi.com/twme8
💠PayPal.me/thirdworldmiss1 

Sharing to those who also want to contribute and reposting also helps a lot! Thanks so much for your time reading this and your support ❤️

It’s so cute to see everyone having fun with this,you might enjoy the other story about Covid this morning, about a young mom with long covid who killed herself, possibly partially because her husband describes it as her being “obsessed” with her health and “refusing” to get out of bed.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:
Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

Dolly Partons IMAGINATION LIBRARY

Dear Imagination Library Graduate,

My, how time flies. It seems it was only yesterday when your family and friends read you your first story. You were just a baby. Now you're five years old and about to go to school. How exciting!
This may be your last book from my Imagination Library but you have to promise me you will keep on reading. If you go to your local public library you will find a great number of books just for kids your age. Every book is a treasure and every time you open one up you will meet new friends and take wonderful journeys to magical places.
I hope you have a great time in school. I bet your school will even have a library where you can check out books. You and all of your friends are very special. There is no limit to what you can do or how far you can go.

Just remember the lessons my family taught me - dream big dreams; learn everything you can learn; and care for all those who care for you. You do all of these things and you can be anyone you want to be.

You are terrific, and remember...
I Will Always Love You,
Dolly
