The Poster's Madness Mutual Aid Telethon
@posters-madness.bsky.social
to spare ourselves watching the State of the Union, we threw a 4-hour PowerPoint party for some of Bluesky's most unhinged posters to share their hot takes and raise over $21k for mutual aid. Watch the whole thing at https://postersmadness.wordpress.com
Happy Friday, everyone! What a way to end the week. We added a few donations that rolled in after the buzzer and the updated total we got from the folks at the Marsha P. Johnson Fund, which officially brings us over $25,000 raised. We're in awe of you all. BLUESKY STILL HAS THE JUICE
the telethon is over, but apparently the funds are still rolling in! we just heard from the Q Center in Portland, who run the Marsha P. Johnson Fund, that they've received $10,569 in donations in the last 3 days, with over 150 new donors from across the country. that's $4k more than we thought!
Incredibly honored and proud to have been one of the presenters in this telethon. HUGE HUGE HIGH FIVES to the organizers and MASSIVE THANKS to everyone who participated and donated!!!

This is absolutely incredible. You are all incredible. This is so moving and I am just so proud. I can’t believe we pulled this off in just the span of 24-ish hours. Considering the initial goal for this was just $5,000 my mind is blown. Thank you thank you thank you!

holy shit, y'all we were $419 shy of being able to cover March rent for 6 families through the Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund. a generous anonymous donor contributed $419, and then dozens more of you flooded us with donations. now we're $85 short of hitting 7 families. INCREDIBLE keep it coming!!!

The initial goal for this telethon was $5,000 so we are truly in awe of you all.
@swordsjew.bsky.social casually killing it on the stream
Last night we helped raise over $15k for Minnesota and Portland, and we did it just by goofing off. I woke up feeling a little less hopeless than usual. Feels good to just help to help, but especially just by having fun and talking about silly stuff. Let's do it more!
so instead of watching the SotU, a bunch of us spent last night doing silly presentations and raising fifteen thousand dollars (!!!) for a variety of good causes if you'd like to see me rant about star wars in person, I'm at about the 2:15 mark in the video, but the whole thing is phenomenal

Okay @andreagrimes.com’s Hot Possum presentation is killing me but as a Waffle House brand ambassador, I am WEEPING at the YouTube comment “hot possum starts the Waffle House fight, line cook energy finishes it”.
you sure will! just finished entering a huge slew of new donations that rolled in overnight and earlier today. We're currently at $17,910.13! HOLY CRAP YOU ARE ALL AMAZING Think we can get to $20,000 in the next 4(ish) hours by midnight EST??
Irma@eckslibris.northsky.social · 6mo ago@posters-madness.bsky.social can we get a final tally once 24 hours is up? 🙏
You can still donate (& watch the fun, wacky video) until midnight tonight! I think their original goal was $5,000 (for two aid programs in Minnesota & one in Portland) & they've already tripled that. Here's the link for information about the programs & where you should send proof of donations.

We watched this last night and seeing so many smart, funny, and lovely people speaking passionately on a range of topics while celebrating art, resistance, and queer joy genuinely lifted my spirits. I highly recommend checking out the video replay, and there's still 15 hours left to donate!
