i have a TON of toys from when i was a kid. i was the youngest in my extended family so i was kinda spoiled and also got every hand me down from my cousins. they're in good shape- i took very good care of them. i've been trying to donate them to groups that work with kids, but unfortunately most in my area won't accept used toys.

so fediverse. want some toys? for the kid in your life or for you! i'll send them for just the cost of postage, or for free if you're cash-strapped (& in the US).

Meanwhile Ted Cruz, of all people, is calling on Illinois Republicans to vote Democrat in November, because the Republican candidate is a literal Nazi: https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1012784418304471041

boosting this again because i'm still really proud of it: EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9h3DWSrtsk

is anybody in rl contact with @Penpen? seriously concerned for their safety

Does anyone know any organizations that directly materially aid sex workers in Seattle? The main one I found seems to be awareness-boosting-only.

My nostalgia has problems

i posted this BEFORE hearing about the State Dept. denying Danni Askini's passport renewal

fuck! i hope this isn't as bad as it looks

if you don't have a passport, start the process of getting one.

For folks wanting to support arrestees - ppl who threw down and risked federal charges while blocking Portland's ICE facility, here is a donation link:

I am very skeptical / security conscious; this came directly from #OccupyICEpdx via facebook and I have worked personally w/ Portland ABC (Anarchist Black Cross). They do jail support and prisoner support work.

As much as you trust this account, trust that link. Please donate what you can.

Hey all! It's Angle. I can't access anticapitalist.party, so here's a back up account. :/

Hey folks!

With the #ForkOffTogether meeting tomorrow, we haven't quite gotten a way to chat between IRC and Discord. I've found a github that covers that, but I don't know how to implement it. Anyone out there that can help?

Just a PSA, I don't remember who posted it or where I saw it but unless you are black, you cannot call people:

- coon
- uncle tom
- aunt jemima

or any other names of the like.

Trimet (an entity that is supposed to provide public transit for ppl) has jurisdiction over the area where demonstrators are curr camped.

This "public service" is now demanding protesters vacate, despite other agencies not wanting to carry this out. Spoke with their cust service line. Was not fun

This is no surprise from an agency more concerned with giving tickets and criminalizing poverty than providing transport

Call them if you can. Pressure matters:

I can’t believe Cookie Monster was behind GDPR all along

if the (discourse|pol) is ever too much for you, you can use this regex to remove posts mentioning them from your timeline: "discourse|pol"

you can add more terms to exclude by using another |, like "discourse|pol|jort"

it's ok to prioritize your health and safety when things are Too Much.

If you or someone you love lives in the US and needs help accessing government services, I just found the BEST WEBSITE

This site talks about how to get disability, food assistance, medical care, affordable housing, all sorts of programs you may or may not have heard of, and how to apply, and how to appeal, and how to everything! It's great!
