mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers
a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.
after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.
we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.
here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:
Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.
this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else
as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery
Please put on your N95s. The same ones used for covid will filter particulate pollution. I lived in a city with yearly winter pollution levels like this. If you can pay for it, you might as well get an indoor air filter to sleep in.
Can anyone help a black transfem with tech and stability for my teaching job? I only owe 250 in rent and need help with procuring a good computer. If I had to set a goal myself it would 750 for other bills and tech by August, when my class starts.
Please please consider helping me out financially to get my best foot forward as a small time educator. Thank you.
Current Goal: 0/750

I'll try to keep this as short as possible since the other post got so long (lots of shit going on at once I'm sorry)
Original post
- I'm a disabled parent making $826/mo on SSDI, but I only got $217 of my monthly payment this month due to a Medicare premium that will also take $200 next month – I signed up for a medicare savings program that is supposed to pay it back, but I haven't heard from them yet and I have bills due next week
- I just got hit with an extra $260/mo expense to benefit the man who has spent years harassing and stalking me after physically and sexually abusing the fuck out of me during our relationship; who ran out of his kid's life and never paid child support – $50/week in gas + $15/week visitation fee. (btw for everyone who saw my last donation post – I found out that my ex does in fact pay for $15 of the $30 fee, but i was only able to raise enough for gas last week so today I owe $30 for visitation). *It is literally impossible for me to pay for this.*
- I went through a traumatic situation a couple of months ago; details in the original post but long story short two police officers attempted to murder me in the middle of the highway with oncoming traffic. I have two tickets and I'm trying to fight them in court but they made a loophole where I can't get a public defender so if I can't find a lawyer pro bono I'm SOL if I can't raise the money for one — haven't found one yet, next court date is July 9
- my bf was illegally fired, he got his job back but he lost a week of pay and either way he can't take care of these extra expenses for me due to all the help he's already given me without me being able to pay him back
- my suv still needs the transmission replaced and my partner's family's car I'm borrowing is falling apart; we were able to fix one thing that was causing the borrowed car to break down over and over (still breaks down just not as often) thanks to donations but I have to get my suv from the place it's parked at soon or I'll lose it completely. At this point, it's looking like all I can do for now is get it towed because I've been trying to raise the money to fix it for about 5 months now and every time I'm ready to fix it another expense pops up.
- On top of having to drive down to my hometown every week now, I also have appointments in town, such as a dentist appointment on Tuesday and an appointment to meet with my court appointed GAL the week after that. It costs $50 in gas every time.
- I've been trying to doordash but I'm barely having any luck at all. My earnings average out to $5/hr. I worked 16 hours last week and only got paid for 3 of them. I can't work that much due to chronic pain.
I need as much help as I can get. Please share & donate if possible
.....welp. the thing is expected to happen happened. Lolololol
(Other updates in the notes)
I no longer have an extra $260/mo expense!
.....thanks to my dumbass ex violently threatening the visitation staff after they told him that it was inappropriate to talk to my 11 year old about drugs and ask him questions about my personal life :)))))))
I still need help with everything else, including $160 owed to cashapp. I still have not received that $800 back. I still have to save up for a lawyer as well.
Details under the cut:
I've explained on here a bit about how violent he is. It's why I've had at least 5 restraining orders filed on the dude. He wasn't just physically abusive towards me, he is towards EVERYONE – he has assaulted his friends, his family members, my family members, his BOSS, and even complete strangers, like how he went to prison for two years for "nearly beating a guy to death with a skateboard on the sidewalk" 🙃 the amount of people he's threatened is even more! He can't rent a place because he's tried to threaten landlords into decreasing the rent 🙃🙃🙃🙃
I've had 4 (now 3) ongoing court case against him since he got out of prison in October – a restraining order for me, a petition for a name change for my kid (why did I give him his dad's last name when I only dated him for a few months in high school??), and a restraining order for my kid, which the court decided to turn into a paternity case, because it turns out I didn't have full legal custody like I thought (i was granted full legal custody for a restraining order i filed in 2015; i did not know it was temporary and only lasted for the length of the restraining order.) This court case will allow me permanent full custody and remove ALL legal rights from his father, which will then allow me to change my son's last name without any argument from his sperm donor.
The first judge i saw, for the restraining order, is the one who ordered visitation. He clearly had a father bias, and our guardian ad litem HATES him. Once we got a new judge, the GAL went OFF about how ridiculous it was of the old judge to grant him anything at all after all of the information provided and the situation that arose during our first court date.
Another woman had filed a restraining order on him at the same time as me, so for the first trial, the judge called both of our cases at the same time. Our ex was in jail for the day (idr why) and appeared by video call.
When the judge asked him questions, he would ignore the question and go on to say shit like "man, I was gonna look so hot today if I wasn't here in jail haha! This is sooooo embarrassing. I'm actually a really great person –" and the judge kept having to cut him off to say "Mr. [X]. Mr. [X]. Answer the question or I'll have to hang up on you." Our ex continued to spew nonsense anyway. I had never heard an entire court room laugh at someone before. Eventually, our ex got angry and started lashing out, so the judge had to hang up. He looked at both of us and said "I see why you guys filed these." The entire courtroom ERUPTED into laughter. It was crazy.
And then... during the next trial... he said, for SOME fuckin reason, "well, I don't wanna take a father away from his son, so... I think the last we can do is supervised visitation..."
Well, the court ordered visitation didn't happen for 9 months because my ex never contacted anyone, including the GAL. I thought it wasn't happening, especially since I asked for it NOT to happen. But now I'm living 2 hours away, and I got the phone call on June 11 to let me know it would start a week later, and I had no choice but to pay for the gas there AND the visitation fee.
I said "I give it at maximum 3 visits before his dad fucks it up." I was spot on. (We missed one visit, so the 3rd visit happened last week).
After the visit last week, my kid told me that his dad was acting "really weird and jumpy." Said he didn't make sense with his words at all and kept randomly jumping out of his seat. He asked my kid personal questions about my life, which my kid fortunately knew not to answer. And he randomly told my kid about a "group chat where his friends were bragging about selling drugs to his uncle."
Yesterday, I got a call from the supervisor, and she told me "I have decided to terminate visits." She said that since the visit went so bad last week, she called him yesterday to make sure he would be stable enough for a visit. She said he was hostile, wasn't making sense at all, and eventually tried to threaten her into getting his way, so she told him that they're going to have to stop doing visits. Apparently, he completely lost his shit right before hanging up on him. The supervisor told me that she didn't just think it was unsafe for my child to be around him, but the entire staff felt unsafe with him around.
I was like yeah, this is his normal, unfortunately.
This broke my kid's heart. I fucking told the judge this would happen.
Well, at least this will largely benefit me for all future court cases 🙃
OH YEAH I also finally got my car moved!!! Sorry I haven't been the best at updating where the donations have been going because there are just *waves arms around* SO MANY god damn expenses that I've fallen behind on PLUS now that I've lost my medicaid (probably should've mentioned that again but it's in a previous update in the notes) I owe money for past appointments and I can no longer access medical care without payment because Medicare (through UnitedHealth 🤢) either only partially covers expenses or doesn't cover them at all :)))))
I no longer have any kind of dental insurance at all and I had to cancel a dentist's appointment a day after breaking off part of a tooth :))) which now hurts a lotttt :)))))))))
The group chat officially deemed me an “eccentric” just because I’m doing an Argonian ichthyologist play-through of Skyrim rn where my character is writing a thesis on Cyrodilic Spadetails and I shared the character’s hypothetical research folder that I created to help with my immersion in the role.
Like sorry I take the RP in RPG seriously but how else would I get into the headspace of a character who is only slaying dragons to sell their bones and fund research that will hopefully be published in the Tamriel Journal of Limnetic Science??
anybody have $10 for a family of 7 (2 kids under 15) to eat now and later please help us get like anything? liu is out for the summer and will eat her meals here. We have no way to get to the store please help me a autistic disabled, lesbian and family survive this month also we're still overdrawn
