chuffed.org/project/crip... this is my regular reminder that we are still here and working to stay out of the red. Celebrate and honor Ramadan by considering spreading the word and donating to us. Let Gaza communications ring freely. You can't stop the signal.
hi! cookbook.miseryparty.org/miserymeals this is extremely wonderful and I got to write about my girlfiend aka frozen GF pizza with stuff on it, and the afterward. pre order dropped
Ramadan Kareem and happy Year of the Fire Horse! Let's charge into this year with discipline and freedom. I am once again asking you so send some monies so crips for e sims so we can keep things topped up and start sending new eSims again.
If you're disabled (broadly defined) and BIPOC or QTBIPOC and have a book coming out in the next year, please drop the link in the comments.
I am mostly offline but I'm just going to say, idk, watch or read Democracy Now today for captioned and voice/ video

Haymarket Books has made three of their eBooks free for download during this time of turmoil. You can get copies of:

"The Case for Open Borders" By John Washington.
A drawing in orange and purple tones of the two main characters from Heated Rivalry, Shain Hollander and Illya Rosenoff, sitting on a beach looking at the sunet, with the words "I looked up that word. Compatible."
Oh and hey- A Heated Rivalry print (an art commission by Tasha Kim (@ink_lings) on Instagram) + a poem from @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social with a donation to us: bit.ly/GayHockeyShow (unfortunately a google form and you have to sign in first... if anyone has suggestions for better forms LMK!)
PS WE ARE IN THE RED AGAIN AND WE KNOW EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING BUT WE ARE STILL HERE AND KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS, SO IF YOU WANNA DONATE, HIT THE CHUFFED chuffed.org/project/crip... we gotta reimb people particularly in the UK and Canada but any currency works.
Really appreciate the "let's do an oral history of Crips" of this.
Two barbies, one iwth giant turquoise curly hair, a bomber jacket, big sunglasses and yellow crocs next to two kittens with crowns on a skateboard, sis next to Autistic Barbie, a long brown haired neurodivergent femme with a loose lilac dress, an AAC device, pink fidget sinner and noise cancelling headphones, sittong on top of a sideboard. They are clearly friends. Small plants in pots and hand weights are seen in the background.
Also I got Autistic Barbie and I fucking wish @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was alive to see this.
@pipagaopoetry.bsky.social and me were on @reallandsend.bsky.social's Death Panel podcast to talk about Crips for eSims for Gaza, "how disabled people built and sustained an internationalist solidarity mutual aid project under siege, grief + death." on.soundcloud.com/utzFoAVtN4OK...

Two years ago today, the three of us began Crips for eSims for Gaza. Alice, are you reading this? (We know you are.)
Today, we’re launching something special we’ve been working on, & we’re grateful Alice was able to see before her passing: our official logo! #ConnectingGaza @thellpsx.bsky.social
a background of scalloped layers resembling a gradient in different shade of teal “Crips for eSims for Gaza Alice Wong, Forever” in bubbly fuzzy black text “Two-Year Anniversary Update 12/25/25 61,107 eSims + top ups purchased $3.2 million CAD ($2.34M USD) raised 20K+ eSims activated in total 5034 eSims currently active” in Knock Out Cruiserweight font Three orange-, blood-orange- grapefruit-coloured SIM cards, the second one upside down, both with green and white kufiya patterns inside where the SIM chip is. Inside the last SIM card is a green QR code.
