I'm that Tinu. Yes her (her her her). Take a pic it’s me (me me me). ♥️ My name means Love.

My date of sign up says 2016 but I have been a lurker until the 2022 #TwitterMigration.

I've been a digital community organizer who specializes in coordinating #MutualAid for disabled people via group fundraising & events.

I attempted to exist outside capitalism after a 20 year career in digital marketing, which ended when I was hospitalized for #COVID19 & cancer. I never recovered.

“Just move to Instagram or threads”

Meanwhile this morning several people I followed had to keep reporting harassers

and fact checking people on slavery & the confederate flag,

COVID info is suppressed.

So that’s fine but what a typo needs a whole ass warning about context.

I'm so out of touch with the youth.

I just had to Google an emoji.

@majorlinux No me too. But being Google emoji old has its benefits 🤷🏾‍♀️

Seeing another wave of "people in red states should just move" from US folks and yet another round of "well akshully there was never anything good on twitter, why is anyone still there" at the same time really shows how these are fundamentally the same mindset. They think because they can afford (in more ways than financial but also very much financially) to be in places that are comfortable for them, that anyone who can't can just burn, while completely ignoring how everything is connected.

Tinu,
@Tinu@mastodon.social avatar

@Sharksonaplane Thank you 😭

People think it’s that I have a lot of followers on Twitter but when you take out all the bots

Abandoned accounts
Celebrity accounts that are now run by teams
Journalists who can’t both help and have me as a source
And brands?

It’s closer to 20, maybe 15k.

I’m sure you know but for others? I didn’t chose to live in Texas.

I’m STUCK here. Think I didn’t beg my caretakers to move to another blue state?

Your understanding is lifesaving.

Good morning fellow citizens of the crumbling dystopian empire.

I need your help yet again.

Monday they pumped me full of baby unicorn tears.

It’s so much more expensive.

Please help because this HAS to work. I must live.

How could this happen?

Haven’t I been trying for two year to fundraise enough to keep chemo pills in my body to avoid a harsher, more expensive cocktail?

Yes. And.

I failed. 😞

Thank you for all the light you shine in my life thus far. I’m convinced community is the only reason I’m not dead.

I have so much to live for. And I'm determined not to die.

I have served my whole life. I’ve had day jobs. I was even rich once. Not famous but I was respected in my field.

All I want is to get better and continue to be of service,

to be a community organizer again,

to lead my fellow disabled people again,

to make things better for Black Disabled people like me again.

So please. PLEASE help me if you can.

Fiqah was insightful and brilliant, with the sort of unbounded kindness that made me feel safe to do things like reach out to her when the turbulence on a flight got a little too bumpy. She taught me so much, and I’m still enraged that the world didn’t listen enough, and didn’t care for her as she cared for all of us. I grieve that I couldn’t amplify her wisdom enough. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/us/shafiqah-hudson-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ak0.rU3Y.uT22eR9vGZfm&smid=url-share

Please give if you can to @Tinu

Tinu, a devoted advocate and volunteer for Black women and disabled people, lives with cancer and asthma and is now hospitalized with COVID pneumonia. As a high-risk person, she and her family need our help: cancer is expensive, and without her income this month while she is in the hospital, she and her household need financial support. Hospital stays are expensive—please help her.

@rowlandm Thank you so much. I have been discharged but omg the hospital bill! Totally spaced on whether my last stay will be covered.

Thank you so very much. ♥️💙

Tinu,
@Tinu@mastodon.social avatar

@rowlandm These messages keep me going. I get so lonely and isolated sometimes and it really helps.

I believe I’ll make it. My mistake this time was not resting. But when I rest it’s harder to get a signal through the noise.

I’m hoping the IV infusions will be covered. I’d need so much less help.

Jerome is back home from hospital. His legs are still in a cast. Another few weeks until it comes off, but at least we are home.

convexer, to RSS

Is there a standard way to show on my website that I have an feed (other than just a direct link to it)? E.g. something in the <head> element that will integrate with browsers? Or is the link still the best practice?

I don't want to surprise leaders by dropping a link that goes to raw xml. Using if that matters.

@convexer there is something that goes in the head but I’d have to look it up.

You don’t know how hard it is
Not to be bitter

Until circumstance takes away what feels like you fulfilling your life’s purpose, mis-grasp.

It’s a miracle to even be free enough to live the way you want to, let alone being paid to do it.
