URGENT MUTUAL AID 15 NOVEMBER 2026
I'm urgently asking for help to secure another year of housing and cover my essential living expenses. My fundraiser has barely moved, and I'm running out of time.
I still need approximately $2,635 by 1 December.
I cannot cover this amount on my own. I've been struggling financially, and despite repeatedly asking for support, I'm still nowhere near meeting my goal.
I urgently need direct financial assistance to secure my housing before the deadline. This is not something I can postpone, and I genuinely cannot manage these expenses without community support.
Please contribute whatever is affordable, even if it's only a small amount. If contributing isn't possible, please share or boost this appeal. I particularly need it to reach people beyond my existing network.
wrzky.com/nov-dec-2026-emergency-crowdfund/
Thank you to everyone who has already contributed or shared my mutual aid request. I'm deeply grateful, but I still need considerably more support to reach my goal.

Let's talk a little bit about the grief that comes with becoming disabled, and the reminders that occur daily for many of us about how we used to be able to do things "better". This project would have taken me an hour at most, when I was healthier. Today, it took me almost four hours, interspersed with rests(5 of them, laying flat), talking myself through it, bargaining with myself, and willing myself to get it done, as well as almost crying at one point from the pain in my hands, and pushing through feelings of shame because it was impossible to get as perfect as I'd have been able to do before. This is the stuff you mostly don't see or hear about from your spouse, partner, family, friends and co-workers with disability-the massive physical *and* emotional struggle that goes on behind the scenes, to complete things that are simple for others, and were likely simple for us at one point too.

Today's project-covering a cosmetics case to use for witchy stuff. I bought it ages back for a dollar, second hand. The inside was great, but the white faux leather outside was peeling. Tape, book contact and some effort, and I have a witchy box I can use as part of my new chapter of witchcraft as a trans girl(I figured using an old cosmetics case was an appropriate nod to that too🥹). Perfect? No. Am I exhausted from the effort of sitting up to do this today and do my hands hurt? Yes. Did it take me ages, because disability? Also yes. I will need a big nap, but it was worth it. I'm proud of my effort☺️(Not looking for advice, thanks💖).

$126 IS STILL URGENTLY NEEDED to secure one year of VPS hosting for mutualaidspace.org and wrzky.com before my shared hosting renews on 30 October.
I’m running out of time. I can’t simply pay on the last day. I urgently need to get this funded NOW so I can begin the migration without further delays. Both sites still need to be migrated and tested before the renewal deadline, and without enough time to complete that process, mutualaidspace.org may have to go offline.

Pay attention to the ableism being thrown around with respect to Christina Applegate finding out she doesn’t have MS.
People acting like it’s a relief or a blessing.
Like she’s “better off now”.
She’s still sick.
She’s just sick without answers.
I guarantee it’s not a “relief” for her.
Seeing so many people talk about how “lucky” she is shows two things:
1) People are inherently ableist and can’t accept that disabled people aren’t “less than” just because they’re sick.
2) Having a misdiagnosis doesn’t make you well. It means you’re starting over from scratch.
In many ways having a firm diagnosis is better because it offers closure.
It provides validation.
It may open the door to treatment options.
It helps people “believe” that you’re sick.
When doctors say they “don’t know” what’s wrong… many folks will psychologize you.
They will decide it’s all in your head and you were never really “that sick” to begin with.
Listen to the patient, not the diagnosis.
Christina has said she’s getting worse.
It’s devastating to have to start over because your medical team got it wrong.
She deserves better. We all do.
