#MutualAidRequest #BlackFedi

$0/200

I don’t belong to any one community and I’m not sure how mutual aid works online, but I’m grateful for help.

I’m easing back into freelancing as I come off of a three year medical hiatus and need support with a couple of things to get started.

$200 will cover my phone bill and the materials I need to open my books again.

Thank you for sharing resources with an artist resolved to stay alive, thrive, and create anew.

People had to die for freedom & to legally be seen as equal & as humans. If you think living in digital silos & blocking out everything you disagree with will make the world a better place, I have a planet to sell you. I find the #fediverse to be harmful to progress as people are encouraged to make homes in these siloed echo chambers. It’s also a space that discourages global search, full text search and quote posts : tools that are actively used by Black & Brown folks and activists. These spaces have long been harmful to Black and Brown folks yet the lot of you talk about how much “better, ethical and enjoyable it is. That often tells me a lot about who you all are. Many people in their first hour here have had worse experiences than in a decade plus on #BigSocial If you want this space to be some left-leaning white utopia then fine, but stop advertising it as a space for all and stop attacking spaces like #Bluesky that makes it easier for Black and Brown folks to have a digital experience they are comfortable with. #fediverse #Blackfedi #BlackTwitter #fedi #Twittermigration
