Hello, I'm on Mastodon to encourage #mutualaid. I can help give visibility to your needs and offers. Message me for more information.
I can give you more visibility to your GoFundMe/PayPal link too.
If you like what I do, consider donating to my own Ko-fi helping me allows me to do this work.

⚠️ Unstable Home Life ⚠️
⚠️ Will soon be leaving to a personal account⚠️
$35/$1500
Thanks anyone who boosts/donates!
I'm going to be switching to a personal account. You're free to share my writing and ko-fi for donations since I'm still trying to move and I still will talk about mutual aid.
3) I seriously feel like social media platforms are suppressing mutual aid requests in general. Over on Twitter, seems like a lot of MA accounts were getting banned regularly.
And then on top of that, because a lot of mutual aid requests are often of various minorities/LGBT/you name it, of course fascists will report those requests or harass them into silence.
1/?
2) I've also seen a lot of mutual aid requests where I wished I was able to simply give that person the item they needed or spend a couple hours helping them. One of the things I love about mutual aid is not strictly about money, even though for a lot of us, money is required for our needs.
In general, I got frustrated how little I think I was able to help.
SOMEWHAT LONG POST
This post is for any followers, soon I'll be leaving this account and make a personal account. It's sad to say but trying to run a social media campaign for mutual aid has been utterly depressing for me.
1) It seems like at least for me, when you focus on solely on mutual aid trying to lift others up and little else, you only get followers who also need donations. And without followers who are able to give at least money, I felt like I was often screaming to the void.
Hey folks, so I'm posting because I've decided that I should focus on writing articles and change my strategy. I started MutualAidNet due to my lack of transportation hurting my ability to help IRL and I see that what I have been doing isn't working for me or helping other people.
I'll see how well simply focusing on articles works for me, but because of a lack of donations (tbh, I think that's on me, really) I'm going to have to also find freelance work to support myself and move out.
#MutualAidRequest to help a homeless disabled trans couple keep their phones on and stay fed
Goal:
$80/$150
Hello and hope everyone is having a good weekend. We are looking to raise $150 to help cover our phone bill, and get us a little bit of food for tomorrow and Monday.
My partner @LukeOrion and I are a homeless disabled couple with two cats currently living in a hotel. We are currently reliant on mutual aid for survival until we are able to secure more permanent housing and get back on our feet (and the process for getting disability assistance in motion).
Please boost, thank you!

I have no words for the lack of care
I have a new article in the works and trying to post more things about mutual aid in general. In the meantime, if you have friends or family who want to help in these difficult times, please share my articles with them. I write them to be accessible to everyone and join the cause!
