HELP ME NOT BE HOMELESS!! (GOFUNDME)

Thought I should do a post for the GoFundMe itself so it isn't cluttered💦 I do apologize for all of that!!! I'm just trying to reach as much people as possible! So boost this instead!

GoFundMe page

-

"Hello, my name is Benji. I'm a disabled, mentally ill, Black trans man, and I've been homeless for quite some time. I've been hopping from place to place, but my family and I keep getting kicked out, or family members don't want to help house us.

We lost our car, so we can't go anywhere or make money. The hotel we were currently in kicked us out and gave us a restraining order, so we can't go back to the property. We have no way to carry our belongings that still remain in the hotel. Our clothes, food, dog food, electronics, and my medication are in our suitcases.

We need a way to get an Uber or something so we can get our belongings and have a way to rent a car so we can leave the streets. It's just me, my mom, and our three dogs, and we haven't eaten since our stuff is at the hotel.

So please, again, if you can help so me, my mom, and our dogs can survive. We are struggling hard, and no one will take us because we have three dogs. Hotels are expensive, and they can only take two dogs for free. We have to get rid of one of our dogs to survive out here.

I'm crying for help because I've been going through this for too long, and I've been having an unlucky time when family I thought would help me just take and turn a blind eye. I'm suicidal, but I don't want to leave my mom alone. I want us out in the open and to get some food and rest.

So please, please help! More info on my GoFundMe! It is very urgent so we don't have to sleep in the crazy Florida weather 😭

I want us to stay out in a hotel as much as possible until we are able to get a car, it is literally just me and my mom, noone else would help us and we are literally alone. We have to give away one of our dogs so we could survive as much as we don't want to. So please keep supporting me!"

[mugiwara-lucy]

Yeah I said something similar yesterday but we can NOT let what happened to Renee Good cloud what happened to everyone else at the hands of these SS Demons!!!

Because we can’t disregard one person if we’re for human rights!

Donate to Support for Keith’s Daughters After Tragedy, organized by Keith Porter

My 43-year-old son, Keith, was tragically killed on New Year's Eve in Northri… Keith Porter needs your support for Support for Keith’s Daugh

The above screenshot reads:

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. And like Renee Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y'all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims. (Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com)

The second screenshot above reads:

Renee Nicole Good wasn't the first killed by ICE... In 2025, ICE murdered: Silverio Villegas Gonzalez Carlos Roberto Montoya Valdez Genry Ruiz Guillén Serawit Gezahagn Dejane Maksym Chernyak Juan Alexis Tineo-Martinez Brayan Garzón-Rayo Nhon Ngoc Nguyen Marie Ange Blaise Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado Jesus Molina-Veya Johnny Noviello Isidro Pérez Tien Xuan Phan Chaofeng Ge Lorenzo Antonio Batrez Vargas Oscar Rascon Duarte Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Miguel Ángel García Medina Johnny Noviello Santos Banegas Reyes Ismael Ayala-Uribe Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Miguel Ángel García Medina Huabing Xie Leo Cruz-Silva Hasan Ali Moh’D Saleh Josué Castro Rivera Gabriel Garcia Aviles Kai Yin Wong Francisco Gaspar-Andrés Pete Sumalo Montejo Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani Jean Wilson Brutus Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir Delvin Francisco Rodriguez Nenko Stanev Gantchev In 2026, ICE has murdered 2 people: Keith Porter [New years eve 2025] Renee Nicole Good -From the ICE_Raids Community on Reddit

hey jsyk while hellofresh is dummy expensive and i wouldn’t reccomend it if you already know how to cook (if you’re a beginner like i was when i had it for 3 months, then it’s worth it), you should know that ALL OF THEIR RECIPES are free on their website and they all fuck hard

i will say that all the cooking instructions for veggies are pretty much the same (season with salt + pepper and roast on the top oven rack at 425F), but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

that being said, it also introduced me to methods i wasn’t at all expecting. i would have never thought to use cream cheese in my meat sauce, and now all my friends are constantly asking me to make my special rigatoni.

happy cheffin! :)

[bemusedlybespectacled]

I am a person who uses Hello Fresh for realsies because it is a bit cheaper than groceries here and definitely cheaper than takeout, but we also remake the recipes when we want a specific one and don't want to wait for it to come around in the rotation again, and therefore I know The Secret Translations of Proprietary Ingredients:

"Cream sauce base" = make a roux, add milk according to how much cream sauce base you're supposed to have (ex: 4 oz cream sauce base = 4 oz milk)

"1 packet stock concentrate" = either one tablespoon Better than Bullion or, if you want to be really accurate, Savory Choice Broth Concentrate packets are available on Amazon and allegedly that's what they use

"Italian Heat Spice"/"Blackening Spice"/"Fry Seasoning"/etc.: I promise you someone on Reddit has figured out what spices they use and in what proportions for each mix, if it's not just a straight up branded mix (like McCormick Grill Mates Brown Sugar Bourbon spice mix)

"Roasted Garlic Herb Butter" (and other compound butters, like truffle butter) = they're literally Epicurean branded butters, they do not hide this, you can buy them online

"Sweet Soy Glaze"/"Ponzu sauce"/"Hoisin sauce" = literally Kikkoman brand condiments: they don't hide that, either

"Sweet Thai chili sauce" = any sweet Thai chili sauce from the grocery store will do. We use Blue Dragon or Taste of Thai because that's what we can get in our grocery store.

[unpretty]

blue apron also has recipes on their website! i use it regularly to steal ideas when meal planning for the week.

[siegecraft]

i know it's hard. but i so firmly believe the strongest antidote to loneliness is reaching out first. and continuing to reach out. again and again and again. excise any scrap of shame you hold about being the person who texts first or pitches the plan or asks to get lunch. everyone is tired and busy and struggling. and afraid of feeling unwanted and unimportant. don't let the people you love feel that way. reach out first. don't be a ghost in your own life.

[bettedavisgf]

it really is deeply evil how tech companies are blatantly using their influence to manipulate politics for their own gain. eg the tiktok ban message referencing trump of course. the bc government here in canada passed a law forcing apps like doordash ubereats etc to pay their workers more and they retaliated by adding a “bc government regulatory response fee” to orders just before a tightly contested provincial election. so these american companies trying to directly sway electoral politics in another country. it’s actually very crazy

[antimanifesto1973]

hey! i'm val, i'm a trans woman, DJ, and a writer living in the UK and im reaching out bc i need to raise money to stock up on hormones!

i've been out of hormones for a few weeks now and i'm trying to raise £200 to buy 2 vials of estrogen and a blocker for emergencies

I currently can't afford to pay for it myself as i'm currently on benefits and haven't been getting much DJing work lately (though it should be picking up soon i hope!) anyways, if you could help out and/or share this i'd really really appreciate it, thank you for reading! ☣️ payp*l: paypal.me/vmclaren368 ☣️

i don't have much to exchange but if you like i can send you some of my writing (zine+poetry+weird stuff!) , you can also check out my DJ mixes here

London’s Biggest Eurovision Song Contest Screening Party Canceled Due to Israel’s Participation

A London screening party for the Eurovision Song Contest finals has been canceled, the organizers have said.

London’s biggest screening party for the Eurovision Song Contest finals has been canceled, the venue Rio Cinema and organizer Eurovision Party London have said. “Following discussion with the organizers of Eurovision Party London, we have collectively decided not to screen the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest this year while Israel remains in the competition,” the Rio Cinema said in a statement on X. “The Eurovision Party London has been a beloved partner of The Rio Cinema for many years, and we will continue to work with them in the future. We firmly believe that the Eurovision Song Contest has the power to bring people together across the world, and when its core values of inclusivity, equality and universality are upheld, it can be a genuine force for good. With its own slogan in mind, we hope that we can all be United By Music again soon. We will continue to organize fundraising events for the charities we support, including Doctors Without Borders and Medical Aid for Palestine.”

[heritageposts]

Reminder that Eurovision is an official BDS target this year. And one of the actions they recommend, which can be carried out on a local level, is to pressure venues and event organizers to drop their Eurovision screening parties.

If you're in a country that broadcasts Eurovision, consider whether there's anything you can do to pressure local venues to also drop their screening parties. Even getting a small venue to cancel their Eurovision screening can make a difference, especially if you're able to get them to organize a pro-Palestinian event in its place.

Hi everyone, I wanted to boost these two GoFundMes from people looking to evacuate Gaza. Please help them in whatever way you can, donate what you can, because this is a matter of life and death. Reblog and please spread the word, please help them get their families to safety.

Each of them has only reached about $1000 of their goal, far from the $45,000 needed by Khaled and the $20,000 needed by Shareef.

Khaled's fundraiser:

Urgent Call: Help My Family to Evacuate Gaza, organized by Khaled Albakri

To our beloved friends and community, I'm Khaled, extending my hand in… Khaled Albakri needs your support for Urgent Call: Help My Famil

Shareef's fundraiser:

Help my family evacuate from Gaza, organized by Shareef Mery

Dear friends My name is Sharif Abu Miri, and I am from Gaza, Palestine. I am writin… Shareef Mery needs your support for Help my family

(Please note: I am not Palestinian, both of these people reached out to me on Instagram to share or donate to their fundraisers. If any bloggers esp. Palestinian bloggers have verified these fundraisers or have an existing post to reblog for them, please let me know!)

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

This is a masterpost for the evacuation fundraisers I've vetted so far, a few other fundraisers I find trustworthy but have not been able to vet (inability to communicate with the organizer), and a few semi-completed fundraisers or fundraisers for a different purpose (like house rebuilding, or aid distribution).

On this year women's day, all we could think about are Palestinian women in Gaza.

Nearly 9,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks in five months. Another 2,100 are missing and presumed dead, while 23,000 have been wounded and over half a million are displaced.

“Palestinian women, especially in the Gaza Strip, are exposed to the worst humanitarian catastrophe,” Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesperson, said on Thursday.

Dozens of women and girls have also been detained and face harsh conditions in Israeli custody, including sexual abuse.

Women in Gaza also struggle to find menstruation products and access the necessary pregnancy and post-natal care. The consequences on reproductive health, including a rise in stress-induced miscarriages, stillbirths and premature births, have increased significantly.

Women in labour are undergoing caesarean procedures without anaesthetics, and a shortage of post-operative care such as medication, antibiotics and pain relief further exacerbates the situation.

According to the health ministry, 5,000 women give birth monthly in Gaza under “harsh, unsafe and unhealthy” conditions caused by Israeli bombing and displacement.

There are 60,000 pregnant women in Gaza suffering from “malnutrition, dehydration and lack of medical care.

There have also been repeated cases of Israeli soldiers mocking Palestinian women by posting videos and pictures of themselves rummaging through personal belongings in Gaza homes, making derogatory comments and posing with women’s underwear.

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

[anotherdayforchaosfay]

Seeing as Twitter is gonna legally steal your work now, please use glaze to protect what you make.

[chromatocloo]

Guys did you hear about Nightshade?

Using both Glaze and Nightshade would corrupt the generation of pictures mimicking artist AND mess with the AI's recognition of what everything is. Like it would generate a dog when you ask for a cat.

And it would be hell for AI bros to remove the cloaked pictures from their database ʕ 👀人ʔ
