Let us not be afraid to help each other — let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and Government officials but the voters of this country.

Men are born unequal. The great benefit of society is to diminish this inequality as much as is possible, by procuring for all, security, property, education, and assistance.

I'm asking for US$1,250, which will be divided evenly for AC repair, new bedding, and new flooring. Every little bit helps.

140 out of 1250 raised!

TL;DR My house is fubared due to flood damage. So Thursday night we had this massive storm front come in, like hardcore thundering storm. I thought it wasn't too bad. I did some beading, went to bed. Two hours later I wake up to find my nephew yelling that the house was leaking. I investigated, and soon enough, the area where the foundation eroded due to Hurricane Dolly ('08) was seeping in water. And was slowly letting water in. Frantically we tried to dry up the leak but it didn't work - the water kept coming in. And soon after, the rest of the house was letting water in. I kept on praying it wouldn't get worse, but sadly, it did. We put most of the things that were on the floor on higher ground, so we're ok with that. Around four, five-ish we kind of gave up. We called 911 for an evacuation, packed up what we could, and tried getting the pets. I say tried, because when I tried to carry one of the cats, she clawed me and scampered back into the house. I told the two to leave and I stayed in the house making sure kitteh was safe. Meanwhile, I stayed in the bathroom informing FB of the situation and what could be done, etc. About 9, the storms slowed, and the waters started to recede. I spent the rest of the day cleaning the floors, making sure the house was ok. Garage was flooded, so I had to open the door to drain it. The kicker are the two guest bedrooms, including mine. The rooms were carpeted, meaning all that flooding got absorbed by the carpet. And with no idea how to get the money or the means to fix it now is giving me an anxiety I never felt before. I will keep y'all updated with this. I have already contacted Red Cross, and I'm awaiting Texas to declare the area as a disaster zone (though i'm not holding my breath with that) [UPDATE NO.1] niblings came over to help clean and have found cat - theyre currently cleaning out bedroom no. 1 (not mine) and using an industrial shopvac to get most of the water out

The Unfortunate Truth Jan 2, 2025

I'm making many different efforts to obtain what we need without money being required (to a surprising degree of success for many material items thanks to Freecycle and what gets abandoned at a truckstop and some very nice people).

However, some things just have to involve currency to solve them, such as bureaucracy fees, car loan, car insurance and internet bills.

I am making new efforts to find reliable income remotely, but while that remains uncertain, we seriously need #MutualAid help with covering our bills and obligations.

https://ko-fi.com/athakitsune which has a few nice goals on it too.

My partner and I are trans, non binary and various other flavours of queer, living in a bus we are trying to convert to a motorhome and lab for our @vulpinelabs work.

I just about can meet my rent this month, but that's it. If you have a few bucks you can spare, I'd sure appreciate a helping hand. Thank you so much.

Was man in nächster Zeit (neben den allgemeinen Empfehlungen) tun sollte:
✅ Sich mit seriösen Quellen über aktuelle Entwicklungen informieren und keinen ungeprüften Quatsch weitererzählen
✅ Nachbarn, die sich in Quarantäne befinden oder einer Risikogruppe angehören, beim Einkauf helfen
✅ Solidarische Strukturen im Kiez aufbauen/nutzen
