I used to be americanapurana, then naranappa, uh…basavana,arunagirinathar,sigalaka then sivavakkiyar. He/Him. Born in 92. Tamil American. Marxist. Bi. Against the framework of Hinduism (you could say ex-Hindu, so guess) fundamentally. From an Iyer family. I'm still interested in a nāstika Shaivsm, but am primarily Buddhist (again, not Hindu). Musician.

Gaza is not okay. The bombing hasn’t stopped, and hunger comes before everything.

My family is like thousands of others: no electricity, no clean water, and no adequate medicine.

My mother needs a new heart device. My father survived a stroke and needs urgent treatment. My brother is injured. I’m fighting illness again.

We’re trying to survive that’s all. If you can’t donate, please reblog. 💳 Donate here ➡️ PayPalVerified fundraiser

My family is collapsing in real time. Illness and fear are destroying us.

I urgently need $300 on PayPal for my mother’s treatment. We are surviving minute by minute and even that is fading.

If you can’t donate, reblog. Don’t let us vanish into silence.

Tweet by Greg J Stoker reads:

If you ever wonder why a particular diaspora community is being targeted in the US, look to our foreign policy objectives.
The Somalis are on the chopping block right now in part because we need to expand our dominance over the Horn of Africa in response to Houthi disruption of Red Sea shipping.
This was precipitated by Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. If you cannot connect violence overseas to violence at home you are the most intellectually feeble and cowardly person on earth - a radical liberal.

Not as egregiously, but yes it would. It would be inoffensive enough to not disturb your brunch…

i'm a multiply disabled nb person living in chronic poverty with my senior cat 🐈♿

toast is 14 and has been my emotional support animal her whole life. i'm unable to work & on benefits which barely cover rent and water/hydro/internet bills. i'm always in need of aid for food, my out of pocket meds, toast's osteoarthritis treatments, hygiene supplies, my storage locker bill & other basic needs.

right now i REALLY need underwear, a winter jacket, and a shovel (it's consistently below -20C here). you can help me out here:

monthly supporters on ko-fi would help me so much, since my needs are ongoing.

my wishlist is mostly basic stuff; there are a couple big-ticket items but also many small things. i order sub-lists by urgency, so sort by default. anything helps!

thanks for reading!

Hey! Sorry to ask for help but I’ve been struggling for a while, just an autistic queer trying to raise money for some groceries and my psychiatric medications 0/65

Still at zero! Thank you to the few people that have reblogged, but a majority of them are from me.

you know I hate that the break in ‘carry on my wayward son’ is actually really good.

kinda like I hate I can always do ‘whipping post’ on demand

The end is in sight. Raising money for rent.

Ive started a new job in which I won't see the benefits of until 2 weeks from now, in the meantime its the beginning of the month and ive been straddled with the honor of paying both halves of a previously split rent. I need an extra $500 to keep the ship afloat. Im currently the only income in the house and money goes fast even for the small stuff.
