I want to make a variant for myself with questions/suggestions about dealing with the stresses of daily fascism-survival stuff (racism, transphobia, classism, capitalism/poverty/ableism) - I try to acknoweldge those influences to myself personally so that the massive increase in life-difficulty caused by oppressive systems/social structures don’t go submerged and unaddressed

I like GiveDirectly. It gives people resources in the most flexible possible form (cash) so that they can attend to their needs more efficiently than if they had to deal with contributions in more rigid forms. One downside is that this doesn’t directly address the oppressive institutions/policies that reproduce precarity and suffering, but it does give people a tiny bit more power within their lives while surviving under oppression

Hi everyone, feel free to call me by my username or EP (my actual initials). I’m a disabled queer Black 30-something from the eastern united states. I’m interested in plants, anti-colonial histories and futures, international and cross-diasporic solidarity, science, food, and trauma healing. I’m very happy to meet y’all
