solidarity

A basketball coach with a roster, a front office, and a job to protect walked into the loudest night of the WNBA's season wearing four words: Trans Kids Belong.

Then she stood in a hallway and told reporters flat that the innuendo about trans women being predators is simply not what is happening. She named the framing itself as the problem.

I think, if there is one concept that I wish people would understand better, because it is quite literally the key to humanity's and human civilization's survival:

it is that the words "sympathy" (from Greek: sym- + pathos) and "compassion" (from Latin: com- + passio) do not mean to "feel for", they mean to "suffer with", to "suffer together".

#Sympathy and #compassion are not about charity or pity, they are about #solidarity (from Latin: solidus, "the whole"), about #fellowfeeling.

Deportations were happening before Trump and most Americans--most USians--were okay with them. Jennicet Gutierrez was hassled out of Barack Obama's White House bringing attention to this very issue and it didn't register a blip on the radar of most "progressives". Please don't situate this film in the context of Trump's escalation of tactics endorsed by previous administrations; don't perform outage for clicks or likes or validation for the fact that it helps you finally "see" the humanity of those regularly denied it.This film is great because it exists and because it shows the entirely untenable reality that many residents of this country are forced to make choices between financial stability and community uplift and empowerment. I applaud McKay for getting so much right without the film devolving into torture porn. We've had enough of that. It's time to recognize the magnitude and the history of the harms of yesterday and today--and act.

It's that time of year when I am in constant dread about the possibility of being unhoused.

My yearly apartment rent was about $2,000 at last year's exchange rate. Idk about this year. I haven't checked. I'm too scared to check.

In the meantime, in the spirit of procrastination and delaying the inevitable: 📣UPDATE!!📣

1. Thanks to many people who were willing to be inconvenienced by yours truly, I met my October goal almost twice over. Last month's goal was $280, and I ended up with $463, Alhamdulillah. My sleep-deprived brain was too slow to register what was going on.
May you and your loved ones always be protected from any harm, including becoming liberals, nationalists, colonial/imperial apologists, and trusting men more than women in our lifetimes 💜

2. After the VPS goal was met, I decided to allocate some of the extra funds towards my November monthly bills and grocery needs for the next two weeks, and the rest towards several mutual aid appeals that were stuck throughout October. It really wasn't much after I paid my bills, and I won't bother pretending I'm mentally stable enough to cosplay as a charity foundation posting financial reports showing how much goes where (to whom), as if the money has strings attached. Y'all support me and I support others. That is all.

3. mutualaidspace.org and wrzky.com are officially hosted on a VPS 😻 It was a long and arduous process, with my dumbass only crying once. PLS CLAP 👏🏻😻😭👏🏻

4. I found out that my father, the bullies from my previous workplace, my ex-fiancé, and the president of the Republic of Indonesia were all still alive and breathing normally, which is truly unfortunate.

I'll be back to my regular bullshit and ruining people's day soon.

You're all welcome to sponsor me or help me run mutualaidspace.org while I'm still stuck between running a platform and surviving my ordinary disabled cryptid life in the Global South, without enough capacity to even exhaust all avenues for officially registering mutualaidspace.org as a non-profit. https://wrzky.com/links

Mutual aid saves lives, btw.

New goal: stay alive
Where? TBA

Help me stay housed: https://ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal

Breakdown: $2,725
• Yearly rent: $2,100 at this year's exchange rate (d/l: 1 Dec)
• Maintenance fee: $250 (d/l: 1 Dec)
• Monthly bills + groceries: $375 (d/l: 1 Dec)

I'm too disabled for corporate employment, so I have been organising and building mutual aid infrastructure, all the while without a basic income. My writing, organising, and the infrastructure I maintain are sustained through reader and community support, which also covers my own basic needs. Right now, I'm trying to secure stable housing for another year while keeping up with everyday living expenses. I really can't cover all of this on my own.

If you have spare funds, please support me within your capacity. If not, sharing this also helps.

Thank you, thank you 🙂‍↕️💜

On 7th of October, we joined the Palestine solidarity demonstration arrranged by Solidaritetsnettverket in Oslo.

We wish to express our grief and sorrow with all those who experienced loss and pain on this day, without seperating the events of 7/10 from the larger context of Israels settler colonial project being enforced every day for the past 72 years.
