mutual aid
Yeah, so, folks who've been following me a while know I've been dealing with some major medical shit?
Well things went to hell in extended family and now I'm taking care of 2 extra kids while dealing with major medical shit.
Also, no fucking sleep last night.
If anyone is able help out, $50-100 could make a huge difference in getting these kids what they need and still paying the bills this month.

Hey, if you've been trying out Mastodon/"The Fediverse" but aren't feeling all those columns, take a look at https://pinafore.social/.
It's not an instance-- it's an alternate UI that can connect to the instance you've already signed up at.
I've been using it for I don't even remember how long now, and sometimes I forget that by default Mastodon throws like three columns at you and none of those columns actually show your timeline until you click "Home" on the rightmost of them.
I'll shortly be attempting to migrate to another instance (theoretically all followers automatically get updated? Exciting times), so a brief #introduction while I'm still on this one - I'm a security developer, Linux contributor, and free software advocate focused on ensuring that people are able to make informed decisions about whether their computers are trustworthy and what software can run on them. I also reverse engineer weird IoT things and tend to find exceedingly strange bugs.
UPDATE: Tusky Nightly is now unblocked in Google Play and there's a new update up this morning! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky.test&hl=en_CA&gl=US
This means we are back on schedule toward a betatest and release of Tusky 20.0.
#introduction
I'm Artist Marcia X, photographer, film-maker, writer & scholar. My research/art is #Caribbean, #afro #Indigenous studies, #philosophy & more
I have my own content subscription, books & prints for sale. I have created many tags & practices on here like #fediblock #fedikitchen #finefemmefriday
I was a mod on the first Black ran instance that was shut down due to way too much harassment & racism
To my #firstnations #indigenous #black fedi users, wad up
Here's me as Kate Sharma
LB: Listen to Marcia. They know what they're talking about and they've seen SOME SHIT when it comes to how fedi has treated BIPoC. It's not all rainbow farts over here, and there's still plenty of ongoing work we need to be doing to make this space a good one for *everyone* (except the nazis, the nazis can choke)
for the #blacktwitter folks on here, there's a few of us og's that have a good knowledge of the history of this place (i have been here since 2017 and moderated the first black instance), let us know if you have questions
The Increasingly Less-Brief Guide to Mastodon has been updated:
Plus additional quality-of-life changes.
