      Mutual Aid Requests Roundup 10/06/2026

      Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

      Hello

      Some weeks it feels like we’ve done something significant with ourselves, like nothing big enough can change our resolve. Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. Like the roundup goes out, the requests sit there, and the world continues producing the same conditions that made the requests necessary in the first place. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended.

      We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. The isolation is manufactured. Nation-state governments, imperial powers did not just create material deprivation; they created the feeling that nobody is coming, that we are each alone in it. We are not.

      Below are the people who are not alone, as long as you are taking action accordingly after reading this.

      This week’s mutual aid roundup listed 12 requests, yes. This won’t happen often. Listing the first 10 direct requests under my weekly checkpoint is still the rule; it still applies. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something within my capacity, or maybe because this is the only thing I can do to help them.

      This roundup exists because I keep showing up to put it together. If this work has reached you or helped you find a way to make a difference from the safety of your home, I am asking you to spare me a little to cover the total of my monthly essentials. It’s been stuck at $4.48 of $375, with a deadline of 16 June.

      As a disabled multitalented cryptid gal™ whose birth month is this month, a $5 monthly support helps me and this work the most. One-off support through my ko-fi goal or my monthly support package also helps me greatly. Either way, any support is appreciated.

      If you can’t or won’t help me—help them. Support them.

      Support them within your capacity in the way that matters — materially, socially, however you can. If the past couple of days taught me anything, it is that it’s so easy to feel helpless, to feel like there is no end to this. But it is by design. It is engineered to isolate, corner, render you helpless, while the whole time gaslighting you into believing that your existence, your survival needs justification, normalising suspicions in the name of security and protection, when it is just surveillance and control in the language of care.

      And it isn’t you as a person or you and your hard earned income whose security and safety needs protection; it’s your paradigm, your worldview, it is the very thing shaped by systemic conditioning that is later called common sense—that makes poverty, unemployment, being unhoused, late paying rent, overdue debt and bills, seem like an individual failure, and a state of economic safety of an individual seem like evidence of meritocracy.

      After being stuck in a seemingly endless cycle of grieving, feeling helpless, enraged, one after another for the past few days and how it only got more intense within the last 24 hours, I realised that there is hope too. That anger, scathingly judging, holding grudge against the system and the obscenely rich, is a sign that apparently I have not abandoned hope. I have even devised a series of sick scenarios for revenge against the rich in my anger. Clearly, even in my helpless, grieving, enraged state, I still have a vision for the future, that I’m still planning to have a future.

      Hope.

                      I'm currently sorting through a thousand open tabs of research I never organized, that got put on the back-burner for three years.

                              Swedish work environment authority part of the ministry of employment has issued guidelines to suggest to employers the screening of employees with Autism or ADHD, to collect data about whether and how they are capable of dressing themselves and their body hygiene, along with their religious beliefs. The guideline misses to define scope and regulation of this data collection as of who is allowed to access this data and what it may be used for.

                                              Tää on sitä samaa kuin puhelin jääkaapissa, roskapussi mukana jossain vaikka piti laittaa jätteisiin, väärään aikaan väärässä paikassa, syntyneenä väärälle vuosisadalle..

                                              Liikaa pikku käytännön asioita, muuttujia, jatkuvaa muutosta.. Koko ajan jotain muuttelua..

                                              Kevään mittaan olen niitä ropannut, termostaatteja, montakin kertaa jo, mutta eilen oli hellepäivä ja ihan unohdin koko termarit.

                                              Parempi myöhään kuin ei milloinkaan.
                                              On vaan niin tragikoomisen naurettavaa ja surullista samaan aikaan tämä "olemisen sietämättömyys"..

                                              Sitä kun ihohuokoset tursuttaa hikeä, ihminen nääntymäisillään lämphalvausmoodissa hoksaamatta tsekata yksinkertaisia perusasioita..

                                              Vähän kuin autoimmuunista elämänhallintaongelmaa läpi elämän.

                                              Tahatonta, tietenkin!

                                              Laittelen muistilappusiakin usein, mutta totun niihin, en reagoi niihin.. *argh!*

                                              Aikoinaan lapsuusperheessäni oli kaksi aikuista ja aika paljon muitakin ihmisiä usein käymässä kylässä, piipahtamassa tai välillä sukulaisia olemassa pidempiäkin aikoja. Oli 5 perheenjäsentä ja tavallaan koutsattiin toinen toisiamme..

                                              Sitten 16v muutin omilleni ja alkoi elämä, jossa minun on pitänyt selviytyä y k s i n..

                                              Paljon ollut ongelmia, ihan helvetisti ollut ongelmia ja minut on ujutettu, pakotettukkin liikaan vastuuseen vaikka mistä.

                                              Nyt alkaa ikä painaa, en muista senkään vertaa mitä nuorena ja sekin oli vähän..

                                              Yksi ainoa lapsi joka painaa duunia tukka putkella ja usein satojen kilometrien päässä.

                                              Tragikoomista sekin miten ilonaiheena mm se että saan oveni lukkoon eikä tänne pääse hyväksikäyttäjät.

                                              Voihan viidakon lait ja hiipuvat humanismit..

                                              Joku kommuuni, itse perustettu, sekään ei käy.
                                              Kokeiltu on sekin.
                                              Joku toinen palelis kun minä hikoilen..

                                              Hohhoijjaa..
                                              Mutta näillä mennään..
                                              Nyt alkoi asunto viilentyä kun ollut läpiveto ja ulkona pilvistä.. Ja minä paistuin täällä kun termostaatti ikkunan alla plaaplaaplaaplaa..

                                              Tsemppiä kaikille vertaisille olemattomine työmuisteineen +

                                                  I done blogged again. Sorry.
                                                  This one's about masking. Specifically, why I think the discourse around it is a bit one-sided. Some of my masks are genuinely useful. Some of them I actively like. The entertainer one in particular has been putting in a shift lately.
