would like to explain my situation a bit:

i have paid half my rent this month (6800/14000INR) because i had to incur personal expenses such as travelling, paying my brother's sem fees, and some other things. i was able to rent a fridge because it is impossible otherwise in this stuffy room (only a ceiling fan) and food was becoming a bigger expense if i was buying stuff to cook only immediately /eat immediately. so this is where i am at

i did try to give tuitions but the location is far from my office so i can't balance both everyday + the travelling back and forth would be an extra charge (i already cant afford transportation to my work, i only have enough for two days)

andi got some work on here, and then i sold one of my vintage record covers (i dont have a record player i just had a really good old hindi film poster that somebody offered to buy)

so this is where i am at, and it is a matter of urgency. i was able to stock up on food because somebody gave me a giftcard i added that to the goal money too) so i am not worried about my cats, at least for a week or so.

i dont really like explaining my situation in complete detail because i am... well... embarrassed/ashamed and also aaaah it feels bad but yeah!!!!

any and every help literally matters a lot right now. i am willing to do ur homework, write ur assignments, or any other service i can offer (if ur in india and need help with things i can help with that too!!!!) so that is all !!!

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

KeShaun Pearson (left) being taken into custody. Rep. Justin Pearson (right) showing his support of his brother.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

[icemankazansky]

UPDATE:

House Speaker Cameron Sexton has removed every member of the House Democratic Caucus from committees after after the protest! The lieutenant governor says he is looking for more ways to punish them.

Representative Justin Pearson adds, “Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on,” Pearson wrote on social media. “This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.”

The best source I can find not behind a paywall isn't an unbiased one, but here.

In light of the no.1 trending topic on this site, I'd like to inform youse that Kitty Kendall, one of the survivors who bravely spoke out against Neil Gaiman and accused him of rape in 2025, has said here and here that if you are looking to support her and other survivors, you can make a donation to OurVOICE (the counselling service Kendall herself used) or your local rape crisis centre. If you can't make a donation, you can help to ensure people do not forget what Kendall and other survivors have gone through and continue to go through as they pursue legal action, and that Gaiman has already spent a lot of money in the attempt to sue these women for speaking out.

Imagine what I'm going through right now. Put yourselves in my shoes and imagine what you would do. I'm currently in a hospital in Gaza, as you can see in the picture. I'm sitting in a hospital that's almost completely destroyed, just like everything beautiful that the occupation has destroyed for us.

[fadel-dani]

I can barely write this post. I'm suffering from severe anemia, intense nausea, and multiple fainting spells. Last week, I had several fainting spells and fell on my head. My health is deteriorating rapidly, and I urgently need to buy my medications and painkillers. Please stand by me and help me by donating.

[fadel-dani]

I desperately need your help. I have to pay for my hospital stay and I urgently need to buy my medication. Please don't leave me alone in this ordeal. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference and save my life.

[closet-keys]

Please continue to support my friend Fadel! He is very sick and has been hospitalized for well over a week at this point, which means medical bills for care. He needs medicine for pain relief and treatment. Imagine being near death in the hospital and then having the power go out from bombing and the supplies starting to run out from deliberate blocking of essential aid. This is what he is enduring. Please have compassion and support him.

19-Year-Old Transgender University of Washington Student Fatally Stabbed

The suspect remains at large.

i'm not really seeing anyone on here talking about it unfortunately, but a 19 year old trans woman was recently (may 10th 2026) stabbed to death in seattle. she has not been publicly identified by name yet.

please read the article: anyone with information should call 206-233-5000 & you can tip anonymously.

she was just doing her laundry.

[volfoss]

[ID: Text that reads "Police are asking anyone with information about the University of Washington case to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000, emphasizing that anonymous tips are accepted. This story has been updated with comment from the University of Washington. This story is still developing". /End ID]

[castlevaniadlc]

the university of washington is inviting a detransitioner from TPUSA (chloe cole) to speak at an event barely even days after this young woman was murdered on campus. walk-outs and protests are planned.

more information can be found here, apologies for the lack of description on the images. (i'd appreciate it if someone with the time & spoons could describe them for me)

Students Call Out UW for Hosting Turning Point USA Event Days After Killing of Trans Student

“A trans student was murdered last night, please cancel this event.”

this was already horrible but the university is very much complicit.

Please don't scroll past this message. It breaks my heart to think someone might see this post and ignore my plea without offering even a single word of support during this difficult time.

[save-the-child-qamar]

I am writing this with a heavy heart for my baby girl, who is only two months old. I recently took her to the doctor because her inner eyelids looked unusually pale, and I was absolutely devastated by the diagnosis: she is suffering from severe malnutrition.

[save-the-child-qamar]

My little girl is in grave danger. 💔

The doctor explained that the severe malnutrition I endured during my pregnancy due to the famine is the root cause, and she now desperately needs medication. As a heartbroken mother, I am pleading with the world: please donate. Your help could save her life. 🙏
