Fuck no

That’s cop behavior

…Uh, hi, y’all, and if you haven’t been on Threads today, first of all, good on ya, and second of all, the libs are at it again: Crustian Daily (I’m not gonna link because frankly it’s not worth it) has been attacking posters, specifically one person who I feel lucky to consider a close acquaintance and comrade, because she DARES to post mutual aid links for families in Palestine.

The saga is long, dramatic, and simultaneously ridiculous and deeply dangerous, but if you’re a drama llama like me, or you just want to keep receipts for the future, you can find a large portion of the story over on my Threads page. The point of my bringing this up is, as many today have said, that mutual aid saves lives, and we’re not fucking cops.

So anyway first and foremost here are some mutual aid links for families in Palestine. Thank you to my good friend Lu for bringing these to my attention.

Trapped in Gaza: Support the Survival of Lulu and Aboud

I am Rewaa from Gaza, a mother of two children: Lulu, six-years old and Aboud, four-years old. We were used to a simple life, full of love, despite all the hardships--but the war destroyed everything. I lost my brother, and then my husband was martyred in one of the horrific attacks on civilians in the market place in Northern Gaza. He died hungry, with a heart full of love for his family, and dreams that remain unfulfilled--he left behind two orphaned children and their mother and a home reduced to rubble.

Today I live with my two children without shelter, without income, and without everything we had before including safety and hope. My children are hungry and afraid, and I am doing everything I can to keep them alive.

Donate to Help my friend Youssef Naim and his family, organized by Molly Clayton

Hi, my name is Molly, and I’m starting this fundraiser for my friend Youssef Naim, who lives in Gaza, along with his wife Iman and four beautiful children.

Youssef is one of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever known. Despite the unimaginable challenges he faces daily, he remains hopeful, generous, and devoted to humanity. During the famine he has worked very hard, digging through the rubble to find material to sell so that he can feed not only his family but as many people around him as he can. Even in the hardest situation any of us can imagine, he thinks of those around him. His compassion and selflessness is humbling.

Now, for this week’s MA round-up. Please, don’t for get to share these wherever you’re active. Of course give if you can, that’s the goal. But if you’re on Threads or BlueSky or whatever we’re doing now, a couple extra eyes on this stuff never, ever hurts.

Zee (@zeeraccoon) on Threads

Hey everyone! I figured I would just make a generic aid post to pin, since I always can use the help. My family and I are 3 adults and two children. All of us are neurodivergent and some flavor of disabled. The only one of us on any benefits is my partner, because she's a veteran but she's only at 30%. We are fighting for more and she can't work at all. I work part time because it's all I can stand to work and still be able to somewhat function to help with house chores and the kids.

The other adult works but it's just under full time so they don't have to give him benefits. Anyway we don't quite make ends meet and can always use money for gas or food.

If anyone is able to help at all, any time, it's always greatly appreciated. Here's my payment links.

We are in deep need of vet care funds. My girls both need to see a vet asap. The little one has belly worms and won't allow me to give her medicine. (Please, no advice) My older girl needs to be seen because she is showing aging signs rapidly and I need to make sure there isn't more to it.

Kristen Needs Immediate Help: Rent, Medical Bills & More

Kristen's battles with horrific trauma started at age three and, sadly, it's been one thing after another through her life. She lost her job last year and has been unable to secure work which means she has to face those battles without income, insurance, or transportation. She has chronic health issues, crippling PTSD, agoraphobia, and a host of other problems. Every day is a fight for food, medications, daily bills, even care for her cat, Stella. Kristen is facing eviction and badly needs funds to pay back rent and try and build a cushion for the future.

Ok I know this has been a lot lately. I honestly don’t think I’ll be able to make it to August rent deadline on my own . Without a roommate it just seems impossible to get everything covered. A roommates share is 800$. Plus I am now responsible for a cat that wasn’t mine.

A few final things before we go:

This Instagram post features a political cartoon by Kamal Sharaf, combining text and imagery to advocate for support for Palestinians in Gaza. The upper portion of the image contains large, bold text on a light blue background. The text reads: "Israel is starving Gaza. Support Palestinians on the ground who keep each other alive." The words "Gaza" and "Palestinians" are highlighted in green. Below this, a white box with a black border contains smaller text that says: "Eight initiatives to feed, clothe, and shelter Palestinians under siege." An arrow points to the right, suggesting more information or a swipe-through feature for the Instagram post. The lower half of the image depicts a pair of arms with light skin, extending upwards from the bottom of the frame, holding a large, empty, rectangular metal pan. The pan has "GAZA" written on its side in white letters. A single spoon rests inside the pan, emphasizing the theme of starvation. The artist's signature, "Kamal Sharaf," is visible in the bottom right corner. The overall tone of the post is urgent and calls for action, highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
This informational Instagram post, set against a textured light blue background, features a photo of a man next to a large block of text and a website address. The main text, in a dark, sans-serif font, reads: "Salah Shabat, brother of martyred journalist Hossam Shabat, is raising funds to provide displaced families in the north of Gaza with clean drinking water. Their goal of $2500/week ensures the project continues — with building irrigation systems alongside the delivery of food and water." To the right of the text is a portrait-oriented photograph. It shows a man, identified as Salah Shabat, from the waist up, smiling and holding a thick hose connected to a large tank, possibly a water tanker. He is wearing a light-colored vest over a t-shirt. The background appears to be an outdoor urban setting with buildings. Below the photo, in large, bold, black letters, is the URL: "tinyurl.com/northwateraid".

In the foreground, a white and yellow flyer with Arabic text is visible, which appears to be a label for the "Sameer Project." Some of the food servings also have smaller, round labels on them with Arabic text. The setting appears to be an outdoor or temporary food distribution area. The bottom portion of the post contains white text that reads: "The Sameer Project is a donations-based aid initiative in Gaza led by Palestinians.

This informational Instagram post is divided into two main sections: an image at the top and text at the bottom, all set against a textured, dark green background. The top portion features a photograph of two young children standing in the entrance of a large, light-colored tent. The child on the left, wearing a grey tank top and shorts, is waving.

Many individuals are holding or filling colorful plastic jerrycans (yellow, red, blue, white) with what appears to be water or other liquids. The truck's bed is elevated, and a banner or sign with Arabic writing is visible on the side of the truck. In the background, there are buildings under a clear sky.

And, of course, fuck Gavin Newsom.

Now Hear This:

Crumpet Corner:

A low-angle close-up shot shows Crumpet, a small black cat, lying on a light-colored wooden floor under a sofa. Crumpet's body is stretched out, facing slightly towards the left of the frame. The cat's head is resting on the floor, and a compressed, half-sphere of light brown, textured catnip is positioned directly in front of Crumpet's nose, almost touching it. Crumpet's big, round eyes, which are prominent due to the low light, reflect a light source. The fur on Crumpet's head and ears is visible, with the ears slightly perked. The area under the sofa is dimly lit, revealing the underside of the wooden frame of the sofa and some of its support legs in the background.

Crump says drugs are good, actually.
