@thoughtpunks Update: We've switched instances, since Hellspawn is apparently going to be no more soon (and the original post might not stay up for much longer), and having managed to sort some shelf-stable food, we are now asking for 250€ before the 10th, to pay bills that come due early.

We're currently at 25/250€, thanks to an anonymous donor on Ko-Fi; any overage puts us ahead into next month, and would be greatly appreciated!

(As for the rat-infested fridge situation, Mother did end up buying a new one, but is refusing to have it installed, and the old one thrown out.

Likewise, both she and Father are refusing to pay us what they owe us, so that we can pay our bills ourselves.)

If you can spare 5€ or more (Ko-Fi), or boost, please do!
(If anyone who sees this is in Sweden, you can PM us for Swish details.)

@thoughtpunks We need to raise at least 500€ to pay for our own food and bills, ideally before the end of next week.

Rats chewed a hole into our fridge (picture under spoiler, CW for gross old preserves and rat damage), since Mother first refused to clean out old food from the fridge (and would put it back in the fridge when we tried to clean it out), and then refused to hire an exterminator to deal with the rats; for some reason, she doesn’t see a problem with wild rats, potentially carrying harmful viruses, scurrying around in there, or the poor insulation making food go bad quicker.

We would spend money on getting our own fridge, if we could afford to, but right now, having something to eat is far, far more pressing.

If you can spare 5€ or more (Ko-Fi), or boost, please do.

#MutualAid Update:

Although all my major critical bills and utilities are covered for June, there are some minor bills that I do need to cover right now; plus I also need to purchase food & personal care items. So, I am asking for an initial goal of $300 for this, on top of the $400 I will need next week for my next rent. If you can help me out with this now so I can avoid last minute begposting, it would be highly appreciated.

We are Simon, Juno, Desmond & Nigel:

  • Unemployed & our only means of reliable transportation is a cargo bike (public transit is inaccessible, due to few local departures to the nearest town, where the bus depot that can take us everywhere else is)
  • Neurodivergent & Dealing With Shit™ (plural system with AuDHD, collectively dealing with PTSD, dissociation, depersonalization/derealization, stress, depression, chronic fatigue, GI issues, and more…)
  • Non-binary trans (no legal recognition in Sweden)
  • Queer

What we need:

  • The means to pay our own cost-of-living expenses (food, bills, medication), and once those are covered,
  • The means to replace parts of our old, bottle-necked, and intermittently unstable stationary PC (most everything, including the chassis, could stand to be replaced), or replace it outright with a portable option, such as a decent ThinkPad, or a Steam Deck (since, when docked, it can fulfill the function of a perfectly serviceable Linux-based workstation for our needs)

And here’s how you can help us:

  • Ko-Fi
  • Swish, if you’re in Sweden (send us a PM about this)
  • Boosting ThoughtPunks’ post at the top of this #MutualAidMonday thread (which also helps everyone else in it!)
