At the Center for Biological Diversity, we just launched our first lawsuit against the new Trump administration, over its plans to sell out the wild.

“Since Election Day President Trump, Elon Musk and others have made clear their disdain for the bedrock laws and people that protect the natural world.

During the post-election transition Trump enlisted Musk and co. to lead the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. This new entity is already proclaiming its plans to gut protections for imperiled creatures. That’s why we went to court the moment Trump was sworn in.

So much is at stake, from the laws we use to defend imperiled wildlife — especially the Endangered Species Act — to the agencies charged with protecting plants, animals, public lands, and our air and water.

The Project 2025 blueprint calls for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, stripping away federal protection from gray wolves and grizzlies, gutting habitat protections for a wide range of animals and plants, and many other dangerous plans.

We know that if Trump, Musk and the DOGE team get their way, more species will be pushed to the brink and the climate crisis emergency will worsen.

Their aim is to destroy the safeguards that save the wild. Our aim is to protect every last species, great and small, and secure their future.”

Do you need help deciding what to donate to?

Link to mutual aid initiatives.

Recently I made some polls that would help me figure out who can afford to donate how much. I will base the following ‘categories’ based on the answers I received.

Preface: This is NOT a personal budgetting guide. This is just about telling you where you can donate what you’ve already decided you can afford to set aside for the month / week. Furthermore, if you have to struggle to scrape by, I strongly urge you to reconsider donating. There are others who can afford to donate and you should focus on urging them to do so and sharing fundraisers with them. You should also follow this guide on a dynamic basis. I.E. if you suddenly find yourself out of a job, don’t keep donating weekly just because you used to. Likewise if you suddenly score a six figures, please consider increasing the amount / frequency you donate.

If you don’t want to follow this guide, don’t!! If you prefer donating differently, do so. This guide is exclusively for people who aren’t sure what to do and need a little bit of a system but don’t know how to start making one.

PS: please do not share what category you belong to in my notes or whatever. I don’t need to know.

Those who can afford to donate daily:

According to the poll there’s about 9 of you who can afford to donate daily. If you can afford to donate daily, it matches up with the amount of fundraisers for individual families that I queue to post on my blog per day. Please prioritize families that are struggling with difficult healthcare issues, or families who have one or more disabled members who need expensive specialized care. You can find fundraisers to donate to on the lists linked in my pinned post. I personally think this would be helpful because it provides these families in need with that extra help they need. Look out for the fundraisers that I post daily on my blog, or alternatively if you can’t pick one you can consult gazafunds, which picks a fundraiser for you if you feel you can’t choose one yourself. The people who run the website vet every fundraiser listed there as well.

Those who can afford to donate weekly:

There’s far more of you who can donate weekly rather than daily ~ 40-50. I think most effectively it would be best to ask you to donate to mutual aid initiatives for 2 weeks in a row, and then to alternate on the 3rd week and donate to some of the individual fundraisers, prioritarily for people who are in need of medical aid. Having a large amount of people donating to mutual aid efforts every week helps make sure that people are fed through the week and allows for a steady stream of support over time. However it also helps to have people sustain the individual fundraisers with the little extra boost they need outside of the daily donators. This is why I think alternating between both would be most help.

Those who can afford to donate monthly & less often than monthly:

This is the largest donator group and for that reason I strongly urge you to donate to mutual aid groups. Because it consolidates a small amount of donations from hundreds of people and causes the most widespread positive effect. Mutual aid initiatives reach the people who cannot advocate for themselves online and who have no means to ask for donations themselves.

Here’s some links to mutual aid efforts for those who will be donating.

Updated December 19th 2025

So we’re finally back home now, but about seven hours ago as of this posting, we were in a pretty bad car accident. We were, ironically, on our way to my mom’s doctor to follow up on her discharge from the hospital earlier this week, and now she’ll have to be seen for two separate ER visits, plus i have to figure out how to see my doctor, too (bless the person who took my call and told me my medical clinic has a free ride program for patients in a 14 mile radius…I just now have to get up early on Monday and make an appointment, but I don’t need to wait two days for medical transport from my insurance at least)

My mom had neck pain and hip pain, and she’s currently got a huge bruise on her hip because her car door was pushed in about six to eight inches from the impact. They actually had to saw off the door to be able to get it towed; fortunately, she was able to crawl over and get out on my side.

The woman who hit us was an older woman complaining of chest pain who started having a panic attack in front of me as I was fielding calls about the accident from the sheriff’s office so they would know what to expect, but I was level-headed enough to try calling her son and daughter-in-law for her so they were aware of what happened. I got voicemails initially but the son did call back while the sheriffs were there, so he got details from them.

I was running on so much adrenaline I didn’t realize how badly injured I was until about two hours after the fact. I ended up not being around my mom the first hour and a half I was there and then finally went into the ER after filing a claim and updating my mom’s Facebook and informing my sister of what happened so they wouldn’t worry. Nothing is broken, but my knee is banged up, my hips/lower back/right shoulder all hurt, and I still had to come home and make two different dinners and I have to clean out the tub before I can go soak in it, so I am stressed and tried and fucking sore.

Our car is absolutely totaled. As I said, they had to saw it off because of how far in it was pushed. I managed to get them to unlock all the doors so i could get my mom’s walker out of the trunk, or else she’d be a complete shut-in because she has to use it when going outside our apartment. And the worst part is we just cut back on our insurance last month to save money, so we won’t be able to get a rental car, and we may not get a payout from the insurance of the woman who hit us on top of things. So, we’re really stressed right now.

On top of that, PayPal is fucking with both my mom’s bank account and her PayPal account. They initially charged her $150 in two transaction and her bank declined them, so PayPal took them out of her balance and charged her two more times for $30 worth of charge. Her bank rejected those as well, so my mom’s PayPal account is now $230 overdrawn for some weird reason. But on top of that, they pushed the $150 in charges again, so right now my mom is currently $451 for charges they’re already taking out of her PayPal balance. So now PayPal is fucking us over as badly as her bank. Plus, I need $87 in my account in the next week to cover my PayPal overdraft or they’ll send it to collections.

I’m just so tired of it all. I’m tired of things looking up a little and life kicking me while I’m down multiple times. I just…we need help. We need serious help. So please help if you can and reblog if you can’t?

So after about 9 PM PST tonight I’ll make a new post, but I think all of our major bills are going to get paid between the 3rd and the 5th (one of my late loan payments came out today so that loan is now completely paid off; a few other payments are coming out n the 3rd and two loan payments are coming out on the 5th, and a friend covered most of our rent so we have enough to pay the rest as well as some of our outstanding electric and internet payments and the last of our car insurance).

I did end up getting my replacement phone and paid my phone bill as well as my mom’s, but I’m utterly exhausted from chronic fatigue and just lack of sleep in general since I’m waiting for my daughter to check our mailbox to see if my med that helps regulate sleeping has been delivered yet. Any help to put towards Ubers for my daughter’s appointments and the repair of my laptop would be much appreciated.

I’m sure many knew this already, but James Ransone stopped a neighbour of his from being assaulted/r*ped in 2006 (he was interviewed about it, which you can see here) by chasing the attacker off with a pipe. Because he did that, the police were able to identify the attacker.

The woman who he saved has made a public statement now following his death that I thought some people might want to read 💔

I think some people who write “check on your friends” and that kind of shit wouldn’t be able to handle the reality of dealing with a mentally ill person for one single minute. Take a mental health first aid class, that gives you actual tools. I’m also having a hard time with the granular dissection of whether James Ransone was awful or sick. I once had an episode in a friend’s house and rather than trying in any way to help me, they kicked me out. I self harmed about an hour later. When my mental illness was active I did everything I could to hide it, often to my own detriment, because I was so afraid of exactly that; people hating me, saying I was an awful person, cutting me off. Then I read things like “oh, James Ransone is worth mourning now ?” and it is like being kicked in the fucking teeth.

No matter your answer, you have another opportunity right now.

We are a group of LGBTIQ+ refugees struggling to survive in Sudan. Every day, we face unimaginable persecution, violence, and rejection. On top of this, we are battling severe shortages of food, medical care, and shelter.

Hunger is a daily reality. Many of us go days without food, and medical assistance is nearly impossible to access. Our shelters are small and inadequate, leaving us exposed to harsh conditions. For lesbians, even basic sanitary products are out of reach.

With your help, we can change this. Your donation will go directly toward food, medication, and urgently needed tents to provide safe shelter. No amount is too small every dollar makes a difference in our survival.

🌍 Please donate today and be part of our fight for survival. Your kindness can help improve and even save our lives.

My sister has improved a little, but her recovery is painfully slow. She is still in the hospital, fragile and exhausted, and the doctors say she must remain under close observation for an entire week so her condition does not worsen again. Every small improvement feels like a miracle, but the fear has not left us.😔

I shared before that we needed help to pay for her treatment and hospital expenses, but we did not raise nearly enough. Now, the hospital requires $110 every single day for her medication and daily hospital fees. She must stay 7 more days, which means we urgently need to raise $770 within one week. Each day that passes comes with anxiety , how will we pay for tomorrow? 😭💔

I am begging you from the bottom of my heart , please don’t let her healing stop because of money. Watching my sister fight to get better while I worry about bills every day is breaking me. Any donation, no matter how small, can help carry us through this week. Together, we can do this. Together, we can help her heal.🙏😔💔

status-quo-hater:

depsidase:

Can we please fucking acknowledge that some of the things spoken about when you say “cis people getting gender affirming care” are actually coercive ‘normalizing’ treatments done on intersex people?

An intersex boy with boobs being pressured by everyone around him to get them reduced is not fucking gender-affirming. An intersex child put on puberty blockers to prevent an “incorrect” puberty is not fucking gender-affirming. An intersex girl being forced into dilations and feminising hormones is not fucking gender-affirming.

These treatments are imposed on intersex kids by their parents, doctors, and motivated by intersexism they experience from their peers. These decisions are made under the belief that intersexuality is a disorder. According to proper medical protocols, I should have been put on blockers and subjected to 'corrective’ genital surgery. This wouldn’t have been gender-affirming because I’m literally fucking fine with my body. It’s everyone else that has issues with it.

Yes, there are examples of cis people getting gender-affirming care. But PLEASE leave intersex people’s medical abuse OUT of that fucking point. If a “gender-affirming treatment for a cis person” is

1. Being done on a child or teenager
2. Is 'treating’ an 'abnormal variance’ in natal sex traits / “a sex disorder”

That’s more likely than not; coercive and is an example of intersexist medical abuse. Stop fucking using intersex pain to prop up perisex trans people. Give a shit about us, actually.
