Truth be told, you couldn’t pay me to be on threads from the jump. The entire platform gives me the feeling of fake parasocial celebrity gazes as well as work as well as being an overall foregone conclusion. One of those “play with fire and you get burned“ kind of things.

Lemme congratulate you on your excellent compensation for talking about our scam economy on your fake “public” radio show underwritten by giant corporations. Great job, Kai. Im sure you owe it all to your beverage discretion.

Y’all my day was decent, I had a great psych appointment that got a lot straight for me after involuntary commitment with the actual compassionate team that cares for me out here in real life & I took a walk up to Sankofa books to give them a book to mail to my conversation partner & can have ganja.

Hammam is my serious homie & he badly needs us, his life is so hard because he works an intense job only out of duty for his people for no pay treating the severely wounded as a nurse, while he’s homeless & supports a severely autistic & epileptic brother & asthmatic mother. They starve. Help.

On one digital banner that led to the

among the conference's "top

featured a faded portrait of Shirley
Chisholm, the first Black woman
elected to Congress, whose
campaign motto "unbought and

corporate influence

At the center there's an image of the progress pride flag. At the bottom, there's a small button in green saying 'Donate now!', with a link to the campaign (gofund.me/beam.task.toss), and a minute QR code at the bottom-right corner.

Promotional image for an LGBTQ group in Kakuma, Kenya. An image of LGBTQ+ kenyans standing together and holding a pride flag serves as the header. Below it, in italian, it shows the amount that's been achieved (€8,312 raised, or 83% of the goal), as well as messages inviting the viewer to donate now. The title–in bold black letters–is 'Help a group of LGBTQ community in Kakuma'. At the very bottom, circled in grey, there's a link to the campaign (gofund.me/giovanni-fill-23jan)
