i think fundraising for politicians on fedi is a bit gauche when there are so many people in the #MutualAid hashtag who really need help
political parties full of billionaires with massive corporate donors don't need your contributions and a quarter million dollars is still absolutely nothing to them
trust me, that $20 is gonna mean more in the hands of the family struggling to put food on the table than it is for the presidential campaign of who-the-fuck-ever
The image doesn't portray how the USA backed and funded ultra conservative religious groups in Afghanistan when it was occupied by CCCP.
In fact, there's a *pattern* of the west, USA in particular, funding fascist or ultra religious groups to overthrow governments that don't cooperate economically with the interests of the US.

Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.
@adhdjesse I have been working on kindnesses for my future self.
Anything, even small things. Grinding the coffee, prepping the coffee maker the night before so it's one less thing I have to scramble to do in the morning,etc.
I don't always remember to, but I'm getting better at it. When I remember that my past self did something kind for me in the now, I stop and pat myself on the back and give myself a warm, kind feeling.
I imagine this is what being NT is like on the regular.
