Some Compassion And Support Sure Would Be Nice,
I have so many unseen issues, most don’t realize the true difficulty I endure each day, first I don’t sleep well, for many reasons, from a brain that is constantly in overdrive, to relentless nightmares, to being in constant pain, to not having a decent supportive bed to sleep on, so my days start of painful, tired and overwhelmed before I even get going, Often I go hungry because living in #poverty I simply can not afford #food to eat, I typically only get around 600-800 calories a day when a man my size and age should be getting around 3000 calories a day, as a result despite my appearance I suffer from malnutrition, I have a great deal of difficulty cleaning my tiny cave, from not being able to afford the basics to have cleaning supplies to being physically limited in my ability to do so, I cant hardly bend over, nor can I very easily get up and down off the floor, taking a shower can simply become a serious challenge, and often leaves my exhausted not to mention I cant often afford the basics for personal hygiene, simply washing a dish or standing at the stove at times can be brutal on my back, then there are chores I need to tend to as part of my rent, and those absolutely can be a painful and exhaustive event for me, and those around often don’t even realize and expect more as a result, and if I say I have had enough today, I am questioned, because they assume I did what I did with ease, but they have no idea of the pain and struggle I had to endure to deal with to accomplish the tasks at hand, reading has become trouble some, as world become very blurry and melt together, writing is becoming increasingly difficult, as finding the words is getting harder and harder, being creative used to help but I have been in so much pain, and under so much stress that I often cant even muster up the energy to attempt to be creative, not to mention my camera is failing, my laptop is struggling, and again no money to obtain what I actually need, I have no #healthcare because the laws people pass have really messed that up, and after years fighting to get it resolved I have given up, so I fight through each day to just to suffer the next, I reach out constantly for financial support yet receive nearly nothing compared to what I actually need, this #disable man exists in #poverty, constant pain and my #anxiety exacerbates my #ptsd, my #bipolar cycles, and several other issues, my blood pressure has been all over the place and frankly in a rather obscenely high range for to long, my core body temp has been far lower than the average, while I often feel as though I am on fire, things get darker with my sight each day, and yet to bright, I hear and see so much that is not actually there, so very much wrong and no support nor help to be found, it would really truly help if people could and would help me #fundriase the money I need each day to live, and the money I need to set up a life where I can take care of myself and lessen the effects of poverty and disability on an aging body and mind.

As of Aug. 1, #Neuromotion will operate the gym. Many of the details of the transition still need to be worked out, like the previously #subsidized monthly rates for people on #LimitedIncomes or who aren’t covered by insurance.

To keep their doors open, the former #charity is now in their biggest donation push ever, forced to #fundraise on #GoFundMe for $50,000 to cover the cost of applying for bankruptcy, to pay past rent, and for the operating company to buy the equipment.

Move board members, clients and staff are all hoping that the extreme debt they find themselves in won’t stop this vital, one-of-a-kind service..

CHEK News · Accountant negligence forces specialized Victoria gym for people with disabilities to fold, seek donationsBy Kori Sidaway

"Militant groups like Palestine Action and Just Stop Oil are using criminal tactics to create mayhem and hold the public and workers to ransom without fear of consequence," Lord Walney said.

Um, #BigCorporations, especially #BigOilAndGas, have been holding THE PLANET and ALL LIFE FORMS to ransom without consequence! Why doesn't the UK (and all the other countries) criminalize ECOCIDE?!!

'Extreme' protest groups face ban under proposal

Harry Farley
May 11, 2024

"#Protest groups such as #JustStopOil and #PalestineAction could be banned in a similar way to #terrorist organisations, under a proposal from the government’s adviser on political violence.

"An upcoming report from Lord Walney, which BBC News has seen extracts of, will recommend a new category for proscribing '#ExtremeProtestGroups'.

"It defines these as those which routinely use criminal tactics to try to achieve their aims.

"The sanctions could restrict a group's ability to #fundraise and its #RightToAssembly in the #UK.

"The Home Office said ministers would consider the recommendations."

…Lawyers defending Lindell in several #defamation lawsuits this wk filed to withdraw…, citing “millions”…in unpaid fees. The withdrawal would leave #Lindell w/o a lawyer in #lawsuits where plaintiffs are seeking >$1B damages.

…In a filing…Fri, #Smartmatic… said it did not object to the lawyers withdrawal but expressed concern he was using the news “…to #fundraise for his election fraud campaign.”…Lindell had already sent out a fund-raising email seeking $200k…that invoked his lawyers’ motion.

Ten years ago, the typical Ukrainian would say, “It is the system, I cannot alter it”
Russia’s invasion has changed that, and I do not think it can be changed back.
My friends and compatriots are fighting and dying in a war of #national #survival. Vladimir Putin and his generals seek to erase Ukraine from the map, to make us a colony of the Moscow kleptocracy — people who are no better than common #criminals and behave in just that way
(look at the stolen grain shipped to help the regime in Syria, or the looted homes and museums of Ukraine.)  
#Ukraine fights for so many reasons, but one is to build a country without this thief mentality.
All of us — those who #defend the country on the frontline, or other fronts; #fundraise money for a drone; or #collect clothes for internally displaced people affected by the war — want to feel that everyone is working for a better future and #victory over the aggressor.
This victory is not possible if old schemes and #corruption prevail.
