I'm going live with a charity stream to celebrate my 4th streamiversary. We're going to be playing Doom with Hideous Destructor on the Going Down mapset, using a mod that I made that hooks charitable donations into in-game events!

The charity stream is going live right now! https://twitch.tv/KiriArtemisVT

The charity is Trans Lifeline!

Hours before thousands would exchange gifts and money and other resources for their "festivities" the upper half of the was distributing and advice to "protect" one another from we the dirty and disgusting marginalized poor

I don't understand how anyone can expect to change the that the so called EEUU is rooted in and think that anyone has a right to say who gets to live and who gets to die

These are your Holydays

During the year’s busiest season of charitable giving, donors may wonder whether the nonprofits they are considering donating to are going to be good stewards of their money.

Our Nonprofit Explorer can help you look into that: https://www.propublica.org/article/propublica-nonprofit-explorer-audits-financial-health-tools?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post

Sadly Martha Gill (behind Observer's paywall) makes the lame argument that the poor are failing to give enough to charity, citing the absolute donations made by the rich.

But, this ignores that the poorer in society has less actual money to give;

more importantly one should measure charity by the proportion of income/wealth donated not its monetary value.

As always on this measure the rich remain less charitable (giving a much smaller share than the poor)!

As the Trump administration ordered agencies to eradicate “illegal” diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, we identified more than 1,000 nonprofits that removed such language from the mission statements in their tax filings.

If you have the means, please consider a donation to your charity or non-profit of choice during this holiday season. I highly recommend local food banks (money gives them more spending power than food donations), The Internet Archive (https://archive.org/), EFF (https://supporters.eff.org/donate/tbc--db), or Wikipedia (https://www.wikipedia.org/) if you need/want ideas.

Also, please remember your local Mastodon instances, it’s not free to keep the lights on. Thanks @jerry !

As you may have heard this month the US Government isn't funding a variety of programs including SNAP, a low income food program allowing poor people to buy groceries.
I've been on snap for many years as a disabled woman as are many of my friends. I believe I'll be able to make it through this month, (though it will be tight) there are people I personally know who may struggle and I worry about.
As such I'm opening $20 commissions for profile pictures to provide for those I care about. Receipts for food bank donations are also appreciated! Food banks will be hit extra hard this month.
Example images are provided below
Boosts are appreciated!

I heard word that the elevator of this wretched building will be fixed today

My emotional support is not doing well after a lapse in pain meds

I'm stressed as once again after the weekend help ceases and were more and more behind

Being and not to the masses leaves my multiply family in danger

is our only hope

I stayed off here to avoid more yt violence against my Latina family but seeing my friends fighting for survival made me come back at least for now

I'm so tired of seeing being policed and treated like

The have a RIGHT to autonomy and having less of the little numbers that give false power doesn't make us criminals

s aren't just the thugs that once recaptured enslaved people they are also you who want to choose who gets to live
