Lol ironically since I ditched the insta app I forgot my password, and instead of just being able to change it, Iām apparently subject to review and had to send them all this info about my account including a photo of myself with a handwritten code, my full name, and ig handle.
Seems a bit much to me, but such is life. I guess now theyāre probably combing through my stuff like omg you are about people and mutual aid š what a morning.
mutual aid request, homelessness, hunger, boosts appreciated
Hey y'all my friend and her mom are two homeless black women living in my friend's car with her cat and they're really struggling at the moment. If anyone could spare any money so they could get some food or get a hotel for a bit as it is quite cold out at the moment, it would be appreciated. @mutualaid
cw: rent insecurity (but w/ info for help)

this is a call in, not a call out- folks who are new to fedi: moving from platforms like instagram that do not prioritize accessibility to this platform requires some serious unlearning around convenience and comfort.
it may not be as easy or comfortable to post images or posts here as it is on corporate media, but this is a space where accessibility is prioritized.
take the time to learn how to cw and caption. itās a valuable skill and a valuable practice in mindfulness.
On December 19, a day before their new terms of service took effect, @instagram shut down our page without warning, explanation, or justification. Hereās our full statementāand how to continue following our efforts:
Please circulate this. Thank you.
In the interest of sharing and participating in #MastodonMonday, here are some digital, mixed media, and other artwork experiments Iāve done over the years. #photography #mixedmedia #experimentalphotos #creepy #occult #heavymetal
CW: racism/violence against Black people
The Kansas City Star is running a series about their publicationās history of blatant racism and exclusion of the Black community. Interesting read and the series is free to access. They are also taking open feedback on how they can continue to be more inclusive.

Hi there. Iām Sara, Iām an artist, photographer, and nap enthusiast, based in the Midwest. Iāve found my way to Mastodon partly because of the anti-Instagram boycott & also to see how this one goes. I also love animals & music.
Iāve been working on mutual aid, activism, preparedness for whatever the future brings in the so-called USA, and sharing those resources whenever possible. I believe a better world is absolutely possible, & that starts with community.
