Queer, disabled, Jewish, 30s. Anarcho-communist and anti-zionist. I do not have money. 2.4k "real followers" here. They/them ze/hir. Don't use my lists. | ko-fi.com/crippledcommie | kolektiva.social/@fallonturing

I occasionally get comments like this, but listen: commissions cause me toxic stress and I can't do it anymore. If I'm opening my comms ever again, I'm either more desperate than ever or cured of OCD. It doesn't help me to know what *doesn't* meet your needs. Tell me what you *would* buy! #BSNM

@fallonturing.bsky.social Hi! Nothing currently in your knit shop fits my needs, but I’d love to commission something fun from you if you ever have the energy to take custom knitting commissions again.

PLEAAASEEEE send money. I missed my goal last month and this month has been off to a way too slow start. I'm only halfway to where I should be trajectory-wise. 80/1250. Should be at $161~ by today. Should be at 200 tomorrow. Probably won't be anywhere close. #HelpSky 💸💕

AUGUST MUTUAL AID! 0/1250 Missed goal last month by $250 so that's being added. I'm disabled and rely on regular #MutualAid to live. Please help, I need a lot of movement this month! C: $fallonbinns V: fallon-binns ko-fi.com/crippledcomm... #StalledMA #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2026 #TransCrowdfund

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

When have we seen the media talking about how a ‘mild’ covid infection can lead to 3 years of risks? Be mindful of the articles saying ‘symptoms no more serious than before’ they are referring to the acute phase but not anything that might be a chronic post infection risk!

Cognitive dysfunction and fatigue remain prevalent at least 3 years post-infection, particularly affecting attention, processing speed, and working memory. Pts included both hospitalized and non-hospitalized.

0/$450 Hey guys. I haven’t made a mutual aid post in a while but now I have to make one for my friend Eli who is Black, disabled and whom I had to support in the past to keep housing and his car. He’s caring for himself, his mom & two dogs. If you can help in any way pls DM me. #BIPOCMA #emergency

I'm so sorry everyone but mom spent the ENTIRE $1,400 rent, not just her share, on her fucking gambling addiction and I can't keep doing this but I don't know another way out please if you can help the rent is due tomorrow Cashapp/Venmo AkiDoughNa PayPal comicartofmh@gmail.com

As a person who relies on regular, dead mutual aid to survive, I don't understand why people are arguing with this. If you're struggling to house and feed yourself and need to beg for money online, that just KILLS all engagement. You get added to classist lists.

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
