Mutual Aid + Call For Help

If anyone can help a Black queer, disabled trans person try survive, I'd appreciate the help. I manage the household and oversee many aspects, even on the worst days. The government support I receive is not enough to survive on and my mental illnesses make it even more difficult. The constant lack of respite since childhood is wearing. Please read, share and help if you can.

My family is still experiencing hardships. More details can be found in older posts, but they continue to be: Food insecurity, lack of transportation, household items, clothing, shoes. For these summer months, financial support for the cost of electricity is especially pressing. I have a allowance of electricity and water (I live in public housing) that gets covered. However, the electricity allowance does not increase during warmer months. These walls are cement blocks and temperatures can easily rise to 100F and over, regardless of whether all the windows are open are not, even without humidity.

My health continues to be in shambles. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. There are no days out that aren't specifically for purchasing some for the household or attending a necessary appointment. I am still struggling with making appointments, especially the constant misgendering, so I'm not feeling positive about my current appeal.

The social systems I have to depend on continue to fail me in various ways and make me anxious every time I get a moment to think. I never know when an error might occur that drives me further into debt or jeopardizes my family's food and shelter. Currently, I have Medicaid & SNAP. My brother has gotten his SNAP returned, though for how long, who knows. But we're still in limbo because he's not supposed to be with us. Yet, I have to help him find a job that he can conveniently walk to and won't exploit him.

CashApp: $acepeets Venmo/Paypal: Please send a DM

Giftcards for Lyft, Kroger, Food Lion, Target, and Walmart would be helpful. Lyft especially, seeing as if we leave the house, we need that transport.

y’know for me it straight up doesn’t even occur to me to unfollow someone when they stop posting whatever it is i followed them for. unless the thing they’re posting about now is somehow actually actively upsetting to me i just accept it as a part of my life now. i’ll just scroll past it like i’m driving a car and dodging an obstacle on the road. and that part of the road is my daily commute and the thing stays on the road forever and i swerve around it every day for months instead of ever taking the initiative to get it removed. it just adds flavor i guess

I already reblogged a post with links to abortion funds. But I would like to specifically mention the Yellowhammer Fund.

They serve the deep south, aka one of the regions that will be greatly fucked over by the Supreme Court’s ruling. Please consider donating to them if you have the means to do so.

Sick of so many people talking about this only in terms of womens rights. Not every woman has a uterus, not every person who has a uterus is a woman. This decision affects so many others that are being overlooked

don’t sign up for protests, don’t talk about going to protests on social media, don’t text people about going to protests, leave your phone at home. wear a mask. leave no personally identifiable information.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, I need to let people know how dangerous the healthcare privacy climate is now. As someone that works with PHI (protected health information) I want to stress that HIPAA (the law that prevents your health data from being shared) does not apply to healthcare apps. These are incredibly dangerous to use, not only because law enforcement can procure a subpoena to access this information, but because these apps can sell your health data to any third party—potentially anti-abortion activists. Anyone with a uterus should delete not only period trackers, but mental health apps, because if you have a miscarriage or seek an abortion in a state that outlaws it, your mental health history can be used against you.

I would also discourage people from using online therapy apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace. Though BetterHelp says they are HIPAA compliant, that is a lie. They have shared data with Facebook. Their most recent privacy policy update says “We may share your information in connection with an asset sale, merger, bankruptcy, or other business transaction.” Any data breach could put your information at risk. Any health app could suddenly decide to change their privacy policies without notice.

Most responsible clinicians put your health data under (many times literally) lock and key. PHI software like Epic or Cerner have numerous failsafes to prevent data leaks. This is not the case for apps. BetterHelp and healthcare apps in general do not care about this. They only care about money. Do not trust any healthcare provider or app that operates strictly online. And for your own sake, use a VPN if you’re searching for abortion providers or advice.
