Hey fediverse,It has been one hell of a month for me. I went through several mental realizations and came out of the other end an even better person than I was.While in this process, I was harassed by racists for days on end for calling them out on their racist harassment of POC on the fediverse.All of this costs: time, money, energy. Y'all can help with one of these.I am doing a fundraiser to raise at least USD$1000/month as a monthly stipend for me to pay for self-care things like - haircuts, therapy, nice food and drinks. This money is also a minimal compensation for the work I do for Ten Forward and the fediverse every day and have since 2017. Additionally, I'll hopefully be starting therapy soon in October or November and that will cost me a lot over time and I ask for y'all help.If you want to truly be an ally and have money to give, please throw some my way. It goes a long way.You can do so here:Stripe (recurring, one time) - https://subscribe.packetcat.caPayPal (one-time) - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/staticsafePlease boost.#MutualAid @mutualaid
