🚨 LESS THAN 3 DAYS LEFT! PLEASE SUPPORT MUTUALAIDSPACE.ORG! 🚨
$126 IS STILL URGENTLY NEEDED to secure one year of VPS hosting for mutualaidspace.org and wrzky.com before my shared hosting renews on 30 October.
I’m running out of time. I can’t simply pay on the last day. I urgently need to get this funded NOW so I can begin the migration without further delays. Both sites still need to be migrated and tested before the renewal deadline, and without enough time to complete that process, mutualaidspace.org may have to go offline.

If there’s any amount within your capacity to redistribute, please consider supporting mutualaidspace.org. This project is very dear to me, and I want to keep it online and accessible to the people who rely on mutual aid networks.

Pay attention to the ableism being thrown around with respect to Christina Applegate finding out she doesn’t have MS.
People acting like it’s a relief or a blessing.
Like she’s “better off now”.
She’s still sick.
She’s just sick without answers.
I guarantee it’s not a “relief” for her.
Seeing so many people talk about how “lucky” she is shows two things:
1) People are inherently ableist and can’t accept that disabled people aren’t “less than” just because they’re sick.
2) Having a misdiagnosis doesn’t make you well. It means you’re starting over from scratch.
In many ways having a firm diagnosis is better because it offers closure.
It provides validation.
It may open the door to treatment options.
It helps people “believe” that you’re sick.
When doctors say they “don’t know” what’s wrong… many folks will psychologize you.
They will decide it’s all in your head and you were never really “that sick” to begin with.
Listen to the patient, not the diagnosis.
Christina has said she’s getting worse.
It’s devastating to have to start over because your medical team got it wrong.
She deserves better. We all do.

Open quoted postTwo people in Michigan have died from the Cyclosporiasis outbreak.
The media is already leading with the fact that they had pre-existing conditions.
They’re pacifying the public.
Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you.
It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly.
The expendable people.
Eugenics.

Too many people judge the disabled for what we do to survive.
The truth is you can’t fathom what it’s like to live in a body that’s betrayed you.
To exist in legislated poverty with no reliable help or care.
To be left by the wayside to die and abandoned by almost everyone.
People will claim to understand.
They will try and empathize.
But then they say things like “if it were really that bad you would have support”.
Or “you just have to try harder and get another doctor”.
They don’t actually listen to us.
They talk over us.
They’re utterly convinced that they know better about our suffering, and that if we really wanted to get better we could.
We simply don’t want it bad enough.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Disabled people are incredibly resourceful.
We’re surviving in a system doing its utmost to kill us.
If “wanting” to get better was all it took, no one would be chronically ill.
If support showed up whenever it was truly needed, no one would suffer.
If healthcare helped, we would be lined up at the hospital doors.
Please don’t judge what you can’t understand
Try and realize it’s your own fear and denial that makes you need to believe everything is “fixable”… because you can’t fathom getting sick and never getting better
Disability comes for almost everyone… help us build a better world

If you’re still masking… thank you!
It may feel lonely but you’re not alone
Many of us are still wearing masks and trying to break chains of transmission
As the world falls apart…protecting your health and the health of others is paramount
It’s resistance & community care.

Open quoted postURGENT. PLEASE BOOST FOR ME!
As many of you know I'm recovering from recent surgeries and complications, and and also still dealing with after effects of three day migraine and a fibro flare. I'm unable to cook for myself currently, and have run out of easy meals to keep me going. As a disabled, chronically ill person who lives under the poverty line it would be much appreciated if you could help me reach my $80 goal so I can get a few more nutritious meals for the next few days as I continue my recovery(this goal will get me two meals a day for 6 days). Thank you so much. I appreciate you all♥️
