keep eyes on sudan

we've been in a dire situation for months, ever since my wife lost her job this past autumn.

we've finally been served a notice to vacate.

$3,138 due by JUNE 14 2026 or else it's the streets for us.

with no income or proof of employment, we have nowhere else to go. i'm unable to work because of worsening ME/CFS and other debilitating health issues that i can't afford treatment for. jobs are refusing to hire my trans wife. if we lose our housing, it will kill us, as even this city is becoming more and more openly hostile to immigrants and trans women.

it's aapi heritage month and me/cfs awareness month, and we're going to get evicted in pride month.

i don't know what else to say. we've been begging for months.

$2,804 / $4,136

i have to add our base rent of $998 to the goal amount since we still do not have any confirmation of being hired and even if that happens soon, it will take multiple paychecks to catch up on our own, thus starting this harrowing cycle all over again.

$2,894 / $4,136

$3,069 / $4,136

meaning $69 (lol nice) left to pay in full to avoid eviction!!

still jobless and incomeless, with phone and internet bills (~$150) and next month's rent ($998, included in overall goal amount) coming up soon too. it's been an enormously stressful time and i'm currently dealing with a PEM flare on top of everything. x_x

The Black Comic Alliance, the collective of content creators behind the viral #DCSoWhite campaign, has officially announced Stage 2 of its advocacy movement: DCBlackout, a coordinated protest calling on readers, supporters, and content creators to withhold financial support and pause content creation tied to DC Comics publishing initiatives until meaningful structural changes are made around…

There should be more opportunities for black creators at DC and there should be more stories for characters like Nubia, Steel, Vixen, The Signal, Mr Terrific, everyone from Milestone and more.

Even if you're not a comics buyer, you can still sign the petition and you can share your favorite independent comics from black creators. I'll start: Everyone should read Prince of Cats by Ronald Wimberly.

health tech, facial recognition, motion sensors, speech-to-text, anything that has ever tried to prevent crime, like.

it's extremely noticeable and usually the reaction from a room being told this is to shrug and say "that sucks" and not press the issue further. it's really fucking telling whenever a black person has to struggle with the soap and towel dispensers in a bathroom like wtf

like it's just always fucking fascism and not an "oops, we didnt have a black employee to try this on"
