You need to be building up your mutual aid networks. You need to go out into your town and meet people and build up protections for each other.
If you dont know where to start, here are a few leads. Check out:
= Your library and see what groups meet there. Pick a couple and attend their meetings.
= Food pantries. Search for local food pantries and go volunteer. Talk to the other people volunteering.
= Your local NAACP group. Even if you're white, join. Meet people. They've gone through worse. Learn from them. Help out.
Once you meet people find out what other groups they are a part of. Most people join more than one group. Keep joining groups and meeting new people until you find the ones that you vibe the best with.
Make this your hobby for the next couple of months to the next couple of years.
You will need it to get through what's coming (and what's already here).
Hey. Today is the day and I really want to ensure my rat gets proper diagnosis before we decide whether we should euthanise her, or not. I guess it's probably inevitable, but still worth trying.
It will require blood samples, Roentgen and tomography, and if the rat lives probably also histopathology. And if it doesn't, euthanasia is also a thing vet does.
I really wanted money to not be a problem, but it's impossible. Since it all happened so fast at the end of the month and required so much veterinary care before finding out my rat is afflicted with cancer.
Needless to say, if you're feeling generous, you can make my life a lot easier. Thank you for all support you gave me already. I'll really try for this to be the end of this.
Ok, fuck this noise, it's Friday. I'm going to food distribution.
Not because I'm a good person.
Because I'm fucking angry.
I'm going to feed people for free without them proving to me that they deserve it because I fucking hate the price gouging at the grocery store. I fucking hate what SCOTUS is doing. I fucking hate our elected officials.
I feed others for free out of pure spite and malice.
90 short for a medical scan. Just an extra copay too much. Hoping to go for end of day walk-in. Help make it so.
UPDATE: Only 35 to go! They said they're open for walk-ins at the end of day. This is important for my health, as it determines what we're doing with meds. Almost end of day. Please boost. Anything helps!
Doctor sent me for a scan. Help me cover the copay, pick a reward!
I hate this but US healthcare is a copay for everything. I need this to determine if I need a med fix or urgent infusion. Appointments, other meds, etc covered. But this is 100 extra I don't have. Help a weirdo keep on, please.
