yes this is somewhat a repost of an earlier today thread but i wanted to condense it and put it in the hashtags

Content warning: meta uspol context Click to open/close

people are posting mutual aid requests in the #MastodonForHarris tag because of me i'm so happy hell yeah

🥲

i support and encourage this behavior

while i'm at it i may as well chuck my own hat into the #MastodonForHarris #MutualAid ring

i'm currently unemployed and job searching and couch surfing. i'm an impoverished neurodivergent trans woman just trying to survive and find stability

if you enjoy seeing stuff about the memoir i'm writing, the work i've done with FediPact, the rad instances i've set up at cyberpunk.lol and cyberpunk.gay, the cool clothes i DIY together, my pirate radio station vantaradio, my awesome videos, my amazing selfies, or just my posting generally -- then know that your support helps me continue being able to exist and do all those things

i don't think kamala fucking harris needs your donations in order to feel invincible

given the scope of her backing by corporate donors no amount you could possibly raise will ever be anything more than a mere drop in the bucket

that money would do so much more good in the hands of someone from the #MutualAid or #TransCrowdFund hashtag struggling to afford the basic necessities of life

#MastodonForHarris

honestly it's just fucking depressing

someone who already has more money than she could ever need fundraising $300,000 on here practically overnight

that's enough to fulfill the needs of every single mutual aid crowdfunding post i've ever seen on here stretching back several years

and yet so many of those remain unfunded. because people largely don't give a shit about the poor

and whatever amount ends up being raised for kamala will still just be a drop in the bucket compared to her gargantuan corporate donors

#MastodonForHarris

well-to-do folks don't HAVE TO spend their money on helping the less fortunate, as much as i'd encourage it

but you have to understand that publicly donating to a major political party that gets enormous sums of money from corporations is essentially just burning it and then acting like you did us all a favor

of course we're gonna feel bad when our needs struggle to be met meanwhile half of fedi is having a huge pointless bonfire with money that could've saved our asses and acting like they're actually solving literally anything. you seriously can't expect us to not be annoyed as fuck with that

#MastodonForHarris

and the cherry on top is that the whole point of the #MastodonForHarris campaign was just... to get kamala to make a mastodon account??? y'all gotta understand how utterly pointless and "i hope senpai will notice me" that is

but yeah it really speaks volumes how many more fucks people give about #MastodonForHarris -- which was, and i cannot stress this enough, a campaign merely to get her to create an account on this platform -- than they do helping anyone in the #MutualAid or #TransCrowdFund tags, which are constantly inundated with dire urgent requests

i'm so happy i set the #MastodonForHarris hashtag on fire with mutual aid lmao

i think i've already said everything i wanted to say upthread. i'm just... appreciating the moment

⚠️ crowdfunding PSA ⚠️

FUN FACT: you can post your #MutualAid requests in the #MastodonForHarris hashtag to make sure they'll be seen by people who, apparently, have ludicrous oodles of money to burn. also it's praxis

boosts appreciated :boostRequest:

i think it's worth mentioning an example of how the average #MastodonForHarris user probably views mutual aid posts

like omg did you seriously just call it "TRAUMA PORN SLOP"

wow the post got deleted i think? that was quick lmao

indeed, that could cause quite a flap.

camping is in tents!

I still remember the scene in the "White Witch Doctor" where the Robert Mitchum character rushed into the tent where The Susan Hayward character was screaming. He repeatedly attacked a large spider placed in there by a witch doctor.

The vigor with which he repeatedly attacked the spider must mean that those African spiders are tough, I tell ya.

I am confident N. can do a little ingratiating as he did to Biden and get TFG right back. Or maybe could they both decide to run away together?

“Now I’m honored, come on in,” #Trump said to #Netanyahu upon the PM’s arrival at Mar-a-Lago, acc/to video that a Trump aide posted. They posed for photos before going inside.

On Thurs the PM addressed a joint meeting of #Congress & met w/President #Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris. The day was thick w/tension, including raucous #protests of his congressional address.

Disgusting that he'd meet with a candidate for President at all. Trump is Mr. Logan Act.
