I have to ask if there's plans for a sequel to Everything She Needs? I NEED more Astrid and Tara!! I haven't felt this way about an audiobook or a set of lesfic characters since Those Who Wait!!!

So glad to hear you enjoyed it! (And sorry it took so long to see this - I'm not on tumblr much these days aside to get my occasional cat picture fix.)

At the moment there's no definite sequel planned, but they will certainly be showing up in other stories - including possible anthologies in the future! So no official full-length sequel, but possible short stories in the coming year!

hmmm. customer was asking me if id been to any protests lately. gave the general “how could i when im always at work” response. he keeps going asking about where protests are being held/how he’s having trouble locating them and “it’s been hundreds of years coming so im not suprised”. he buys a lotto ticket and opens his wallet, which surprise surprise also contained a police badge..

ways to help protestors if you are unable to protest

everybody has to do their part. as a reference, this was posted on 1 june 2020. if any links are broken or direct to a place they should not, please feel free to add on with corrections. if there is new information with better knowledge, please feel free to share. thank you.

1. donate

do not donate to shaun king. he has repeatedly collected money to “support” black people, but no one knows where the money is.

BAIL FUNDS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; NOT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST)

note: washington dc and new jersey have cashless bail systems.

bail fund google doc (also includes lawyers for protestors)

national bail fund network (directory of community bail funds)

community bail funds masterpost by @keplercryptids

resistance funds (google sheets; lists bail funds around the country)

nationwide bail funds (split a donation to the bail funds listed on the linked page with a single transaction)

atlanta bail fund

brooklyn bail fund

colorado freedom fund

columbus freedom fund

houston chapter of black lives matter

liberty fund (nyc based; focuses services on people from low-income communities)

los angeles freedom fund

louisville community fund

massachusetts bail fund

minnesota freedom fund (as of may 30, 2020, they are encouraging people to donate elsewhere since they have raised enough money; as of may 29, 2020, they do not have a venmo, as some fraudulent accounts have been claiming, source)

philadelphia bail out fund

richmond bail fund

MORE PLACES TO DONATE

note: more links are listed in the masterposts below.

northstar health collective (healthcare and medical aid for people on the front lines)

reclaim the block (aims to redistribute police funding to help the minneapolis community)

twin cities dsa (provides fresh groceries and hot meals to people in minneapolis)

2. educate yourself

it isn’t enough to sign petitions and reblog/retweet/etc. nonblack people, including people of color, owe it to black people to educate themselves and correct themselves and the people around them on anti-blackness.

note: more links are in the masterposts linked below.

resources and tools regarding racism and anti-blackness (google sheets compilation)

readings on society, racism, the prison system, etc. (twitter thread)

3. give out supplies to protestors

people need supplies to protest safely, and even if they bring supplies with them, they can often run out. if you’re able, stock up and hand them out to people protesting. for more supplies to donate, see the “george floyd action” google docs link in section 5.

water bottles (dehydration and heatstroke are not things people should have to deal with alongside bastard cops. if the police in your area are particularly violent or known to use tear gas, get the ones with the sports cap/suction-thing/etc so people can use them as emergency eye-flushes.)

snacks (make sure to take into account that people have allergies of all sorts. foods will have a little label that says “may contain” and then list any potential allergens. write the allergens on the ziploc (or any container you use) in permanent marker, or better yet, write the snacks included in the pack.)

masks (don’t forget there’s still a pandemic going on. also it will aid in deterring facial recognition when the police try to track down protestors,  also part two, if the cops use tear gas, wearing a mask (with the combination of a scarf or bandana) will lessen the adverse effects. lessen, not stop.)

bandanas, scarves, etc. and goggles (ski goggles, swimming goggles, etc.) (see above for explanation on the scarves. same goes for the goggles. anti–tear gas and anti–facial recognition.)

clean shirts (for people who are heavily gassed. also helps deter recognition through clothing.)

wound care supplies (band-aids, packets of neosporin packets or a similar antibiotic, alcohol wipes, etc.; if you can, decant bactine into those little travel bottles.)

a sharpie or another type of marker (for writing bail numbers or emergency contacts on arms, hands, etc. it’s not enough to have your city’s bail fund number stored on your phone; the police won’t give it to you to look it up. give people a marker so they can write it down, preferably not washable so it isn’t easily removed.)

IMPORTANT: KNOWING FIRST AID

tear gas: if you’re hit, get out as fast and as soon as you can. take anyone you can with you. the longer you’re in the gas, the harder it will be for you to see, and it can irritate your airways, making it hard to breathe. if you’re hit, don’t run; it’ll only make things worse on your lungs. when you leave the area, take a cold shower. don’t use hot water (it will only reactivate the agent); don’t bathe (it will only spread the CS around). (source 1) (source 2) (cdc fact sheet on tear gas)

move them to a clean and ventilated area where it’s as safe as possible.

ask them if they’re wearing contact lenses. have them remove it. if they’re wearing glasses, rinse it with water.

solution of half liquid antacid, half water. spray from the inside going out, with the head tilted back and slightly towards the side being rinsed. if they say it’s okay, open the eye slightly while doing this. (source)

bullet wounds: the most important thing is to stop the bleeding. be sure to check for an exit wound and cover that as well. treat both wounds, but treat the worse one first.

stop the bleed (youtube video by uc san diego health)

first aid in active shooting scenarios

making a tourniquet (a commercial tourniquet is best, but improvised ones can work as well if done properly; the most important things to remember is that tourniquets are for limb injuries and are not meant for the head or torso and that they have to be very tightly wound on the injury.)

how to apply pressure dressings

miscellaneous

adult cpr tutorial (youtube video by cincinnati children’s; think of “staying alive” by the beegees or “uptown funk”)

4. be a source of information

be responsible with this. people’s lives are at stake. that being said, the media is a fucking joke and the best way to get accurate information in a grassroots rebellion is amongst ourselves. record everything, but if you are going to share any information at all, be sure to blur people’s faces.

know your rights (by personachuu on twitter)

NUMBERS TO CALL FOR ARRESTED PROTESTORS (ALPHABETICAL ORDER; SOURCES LINKED TO THE NUMBER)

remember to keep phones OFF unless absolutely necessary. cell phone towers, stingrays, location notifs can all be used to track you and other protestors. don’t fuck around. if your phone must be on, keep it on airplane mode as often as possible and only communicate using encrypted methods. no, snapchat doesn’t count. (a twitter thread on stingrays, for those interested)

also, if you’re protesting, change your passcode. make it at least 11 characters long and don’t use facial/thumb recognition.

meanwhile my dumbass cat is the morality police who waltzes by and slams the bathroom door on you in your own home.

She doesn’t even stick around after making her WWE entrance, she just leaves, her work complete.

State of Jefferson is not “oregon” it is specifically SW Oregon (aka my home region god save me) and NW California. And they almost did it too, except a little thing called WWII happened to throw all that at the window.

Which is hilariously ironic in my life because JEfferson is my least favorite president and the thought of being born in the STATE OF JEFFERSON would summon alanis in an instance. 

Do non-americans realize that the United States is literally just a bunch of countries in a trench coat that agreed to be semi-nice to each other in order to sneak into the Big Boy Club? Because let’s be honest that’s just what the USA is

some of y’all on this hellsite are just really using this opportunity to shit on people with social lives and activities they like to do outside and it shows

there’s no fucking need for it. I’m sorry if some “extrovert” was mean to you about liking to stay inside and watch TV and read books (which, you know, are fair hobbies to have) but Im legit seeing shit about how extroverts~~~ should just be welded into their houses and nobody should care that there are people legit suffering because their lives, their routines have suddenly come to a screeching halt just as the sun is shining and everything they were looking forward to is gone. 

everyone, from those who are sick, are worried they might be sick, to going out even t hough they’re begging employers to let them stay home, to sitting by their window trying to hold back tears because they can’t see their friends (and no, video chat isn’t the same as a hug or the mere presence of another person, it’s just what we have atm) or loved ones. Families are split up for their own health. People are losing their whole livelihoods en masse. Our gov’t is proving how little it cares for us, though we been known.

Have some fucking empathy. People are allowed to be anxious and depressed., with or without a pandemic forcing them to stay inside for the greater good. 

stop making this an “introvert” vs. “extrovert” thing. Even those who claim “they’ve been preparing their whole lives for this!” are gonna be fucking depressed. The whole world is off balance. This isn’t just staying home for a long time because you feel like it or you have personal health reasons. This is a crisis that goes beyond ourselves. Many people are right now going against their very natures (that is, to go out and enjoy the sunshine and be social with their friends) for those who need to be protected and to help keep our medical systems from overloading. The fact we humans can override our natures like that is pretty amazing, but it doesn’t come without severe emotional and mental consequence if this goes on long enough. (and it probably will) 

just have some fucking empathy. your fellow people are scared, anxious, and grieving. This has nothing to do with something called Myers Briggs and to imply so just proves you’re no better than a hardcore astrologist telling you you should die for being a leo and wanting to get your tinder freak on right now. 

#the amount of shit i've seen #is mind blowing #also save your death wishes for the people at top who are fucking responsible for this hell #not johnny in 3b who can't get out of bed because he's depressed he can't go play pickup soccer every day
