I urgently need $120, please. After dropping my housemate at work, on the off-ramp of the interstate, I ran over something and busted a hole in her car tire.I felt it but since the car seemed to drive fine, I just carefully rolled the last mile home. Now it's sitting in the driveway with one hell of a flat. It looks like half an Allen wrench is sticking out of it. I can get the donut on it, but it will need a new tire most likely. I called the nearest place and they said it would be about $120 if I could get it there.This is our only car, and I not only have to pick my housemate up from work in a bit, but I also have to go sign the paperwork for my new part time job this afternoon.We're broke as hell after paying rent and bills and setting up the hotel and cat sitter for my housemate's transgender bottom surgery in a couple weeks. Can you please help me cover a new tire? I'm sorry to come hat-in-hand again, but this is extremely urgent.Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordiaPaypal: https://paypal.me/tmvshekVenmo: @onychamazeBoosts are of course appreciated. Thank you all for anything you can do.#fundraising #mutualAid #transMutualAid #crowdfunding #actuallyAutistic@mutualaid@mutualaid@fedigoups.social

[Microblog] Hey all! (flickering.style)
 

Hey all!The GoFundMe for my cat Machendra's emergency dental surgery is 81% funded! I've set up transfers so as soon as the money hits my bank account, I can get him into the vet to get those teeth extracted. And get him out of pain!https://gofund.me/b47b9e984If anyone feels like they could contribute towards the last $200 or so that it would take to do this, it would mean a hell of a lot to me. The more help I can receive, the more things I can do to ensure his comfort around the surgery and recovery.I want to order him some special rich-calorie food to make up for the dramatic weight he's lost, almost 6 pounds. It hurts me to see him like this, I wanna get him fat and happy again. ​Please help us out if you are able.Also boosting the GoFundMe link on here, and sharing it on your other socials would make a big difference. I'm not really on anywhere but Mastodon, sadly.Thank you for what you've done. Y'all are amazing.#cats #catsofmastodon #blackCats #caturday #goFundMe #mutualAid #transMutualAid #mutualAidRequest #crowdfunding@mutualaid@mutualaid

Here's the GoFundMe for my beloved cat Machendra, an awesome little guy who's been with me for seven years now. He desperately needs dental surgery asap.https://gofund.me/33ec10c67He has stomatitis in his mouth, a painful autoimmune issue that causes inflammation and makes it impossible for him to eat comfortably. We've been treating it for a few months now, but it has gotten suddenly worse, and he is losing weight. He needs three problem teeth extracted as soon as possible.The vet has quoted me $1100 for his surgery and meds. I can get this surgery for him as soon as I have the money. I can put up receipts on the GFM page as soon as the surgery is done.If you could please donate to this fundraiser, it would help me get him relief from this pain more quickly. I want that for him more than anything in this world. 💔​You're welcome to boost this post. :boostRequest:​And I'd love it if you shared the GoFundMe link with anyone you know not on Mastodon who might be willing or able to help a sick kitty. He's my best friend.Thank you. Hug your furry friends for me.#cats #catsofmastodon #blackCats #caturday #goFundMe #mutualAid #transMutualAid #mutualAidRequest #crowdfunding@mutualaid@mutualaid

Does anyone feel like they could help me with this month's power bill? It's due tomorrow. And I'm really fried from trying to save up for my kitty's dental surgery.The power bill itself is $122. I'm sorry to have to ask for help, but I really don't want it to be late or shut off.If you could donate some money to helping me keep the lights on, that would be a weight off my mind while I try to get the $1k together for the vet asap. 😞​Here is my info:Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tmvshekVenmo: @onychamazeKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordiaBoosts are deeply appreciated, as is any money amount you can spare. :boostRequest:​:blobcattransheart:​#crowdfunding #mutualAid #transMutualAid #actuallyAutistic #transcrowdfunding #queerCrowdfund #lgbt@mutualaid

Even a few dollars helps.

Tomorrow morning first thing, we go get my adopted kitties, and bring them to the airport for paperwork to bring them safely home to the U.S.If you have any ability to help me out financially with this, I'd be forever grateful. I still can't believe I'm here, and have the chance to reunite my little family and bring them home. I'm really struggling with the pet fee for the flight, it's more than I expected, as well as for the last bit of their boarding costs. Both of which I have to pay first thing in the a.m. if I'm to get them safely back.I'm here, I came halfway around the world to rescue my darling friends, and if you could please just help me get them home I'll never ask for anything else.Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordiaPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/tmvshekVenmo: @onychamazeCashapp: $vshek78Boosts appreciated!#mutualAid #fundraiser #crowdfund #crowdfunding #transcrowdfund #TransMutualAid #catsofmastodon #cats@MutualAidVisibility @mutualaid @mutualaid @mutualaid

Two young cats sit upright on the wooden floor of a cat boarding hotel. One is gray-and-black striped with green eyes, and is looking off camera to the right. The other cat is Calico with a white throat and feet, and amber eyes, and she's looking up at the person taking the photo.
 

We're on the way to get my dear little friends and bring them home, but I still need help covering the $250 for one of the cat tickets. Can anybody help me please? It would mean the world to me.We're almost all reunited. 🥹✊Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordiaPayPal: https://www.paypal.me/tmvshekVenmo: @onychamazeCashapp: $vshek78Boosting for reach is deeply appreciated.#mutualAid #fundraiser #crowdfund #crowdfunding #transcrowdfund #TransMutualAid #catsofmastodon #cats@MutualAidVisibility @mutualaid @mutualaid @mutualaid

I wonder if I could ask you all for a last bit of cat help?I was hoping to raise 400. I know it's a lot, but I've run into a couple snags and I'm desperate, as I haven't got much time.As some of you already know, I'm going to be heading to Thailand on April 26 for a quick turnaround trip to retrieve my two beloved kittens, that I had to leave in boarding when I returned to the U.S. in December.I just learned the cat tickets are going to be $300 each instead of the $200 I'd budgeted for.Also, my U.S. cat Mac has had his dental surgery delayed until May 7, and he needs another set of $150 pain meds and antibiotic shots in the meantime. He's starting to have trouble eating. 😿​Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tmvshekKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/erosdiscordiaVenmo: @onychamazeI was wondering if you all would consider donating towards this effort to get my family together again, as well as get Mac some relief?Thank you for reading this, and I'd appreciate any dollars and boosts you could give me! :boostRequest:​Edit: cat tax attached! 💜#cats # catsofmastodon #Zele #Athina #Machendra #crowdfund #fundraising #mutualaidrequest #queercrowdfund #mutualaid #transmutualaid #transcrowdfund #helpfolkslive2026 #actuallyautistic@mutualaid@mutualaid

Two young cats inside a wooden cat boarding pen-room, with wooden climbing shelves and a sisal scratching column. One cat, a gray-and-black striped boy, is sitting proudly on the lower climbing perch, looking up at the overhead and squinting. The smaller cat, a Calico girl, is above him on a climbing shelf, looking for a place to jump down, but the boy is blocking it.

@AutistoMephisto @just_another_personThis, to me, is the most insidious effect of AI.Whether it's as complex as code or as simple as fact-checking a search result. People lose confidence in their judgment, and therefore their agency is eroded.
