financial difficulty / mutual aid request / boost OK
Hey y'all, we're gonna need some help. We're a couple hundred dollars short of our first rent payment at a new apartment, and it's due in two days. All three of us are short on money and just getting the money for the deposit alone was a huge challenge for us. I know times are tough, so it's okay if you can't afford to help, but please boost this post!
Seattle medical collective needs your help!
Pink Umbrella Medical Collective is a volunteer based non-profit focused on providing mobile and stationary teams for protests, educational classes, mental health and crisis support, protest injury follow-up in and around unceded Duwamish territory.
Unfortunately, over the weekend their storage unit was broken into and many of their supplies were lost. If you have the means, please consider donating. They appreciate the continued support of our community!

You do not have to be suicidal to use these. If you are having a large panic attack, that qualifies. If you cannot cope, that qualifies.
To be clear these are for Americans (I'm especially worried about panic attacks leading up to the election) but if you want to post helplines for other countries, please do so!
This one is my personal "favorite".

Today is #IntersexAwarenessDay. Even though society is taught that gender is binary, it far from is. Intersex people exist - and are discriminated against in big. 1/8

WA unemployment benefits warning, please boost
WARNING:
the state of washington can, and will, legally, suddenly revoke your unemployment benefits then retroactively charge you for them, leaving you not just without income, but also in SERIOUS debt
when it happened to my boyfriend i thought it was an isolated issue, but then it happened to a friend too, and it keeps happening, so please please be careful and try to have something to fall back on other than unemployment money
Seeing as it's #InternationalPronounsDay, I'd like to remind you that singular they/them are genderless pronouns by definition. These do not refer exclusively to any nonbinary gender identities, and do not belong to nonbinary people.
They/them can be used for anyone and everyone.
If you don't know what someone's preferred pronouns are, using they/them is always a gramatically correct choice, because these words refer simply to "this one person"
Donations Needed for Seattle Activist Bail Fund!
The Northwest Community Bail Fund has been covering bail for any demonstrators arrested while expressing their first amendment rights to speech and protest.
https://www.nwcombailfund.org/
The Seattle PD have started kettling and mass-arresting as a tactic to try to end the demonstrations- that and increasing bail costs have caused the fund to dwindle.
They need donations now more than ever!

Rare coastal dragoness, often found by sunny sea cliffs. Nonbinary but fairly femme-leaning. If you're under 18 don't follow.
