So a little over a month ago I was reached out to by @peterkats, a gay refugee currently living in a camp with a small group of other gay and trans refugees.
Peter has, to put it mildly, had a fucking time of it. In his home country, Uganda, his partner was murdered for being trans. He stayed for some time in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya with a group of gay and trans people (pictured above), but violence from police forced them to move, and they're currently in a refugee camp run by the UNHCR. (I've been asked not to explicitly name the country but you can probably figure it out.)
Unfortunately this has not in any way been a reprieve. They've managed to flee right into an impending famine, and if that's not enough, they're still facing violence from police and other refugees, and general indifference from the UNHCR medical staff - who are also facing supply shortages. But it's not completely hopeless. When Peter contacted me, he needed money for food - I sent him some via an intermediary and he was able to get quite a bit (the exchange rate seems to be favourable). With help, things can be quite different.
We've stayed in touch since then, talking about our respective lives, the lgbtq situation in different countries, even videogames and music. He's a really sweet guy, despite it all still trying to find a place he can live free. For real, I would not survive any of this shit.
Recently a couple of people in Peter's group have caught malaria. They are currently sleeping on bare mats without mosquito nets. There seems to be some confusion about the exchange rates but as far as I have been able to gather, about €150 (~20,000ssp) gets a mattress and €10(~1000ssp) a malaria net. The UNHCR have not been able to provide any medication except paracetamol, and it's raining which promotes mosquito activity, so this is kind of an emergency.
I would very much prefer if the new friend I've made doesn't die of starvation or malaria. Unfortunately, I do not have the money to support Peter and his group alone. I've sent him money for one mattress (via PayPal for expediency, it won't show up on GFM), and I would be immensely grateful if you would be able to contribute a bit to getting them another (which would be just about enough to keep six people safe from mosquitoes if sleeping three to a mattress).
Beyond that, these guys are prohibited from working so they would definitely benefit from food money. And if anyone has an idea for a long term plan to get them somewhere safer where they're less likely to get bashed, I am sure Peter would appreciate hearing about it. We talked a bit about the UK asylum process but getting everyone here would be very difficult (passports, flights etc.).
But still like, I can only do so much on my own, and I want to give these guys a fighting chance. So if you could pass this around and donate if you can spare a bit? I'd be insanely grateful.

Track Freedom Flotilla here:
Please keep Freedom Flotilla on your radar for the next few days!! I hope every activist that is aboard this ship is able to safely deliver aid into Gaza, and that Palestinian people/medical staff on the ground receive ALL this support from every person involved in making this happen.

hey, y'all. this month has been pretty rough for me financially, with a bunch of unexpected bills i had to pay and even having to deal with taking in another pet and the expenses that ensued. i asked for help with that before and got it, for which i am very grateful as i could not have taken her to the vet without it, but now i'm having to deal with food and medicine expenses that i ended up putting off because of that and that i have no way to handle right now.
so i ask, if you're able to help me out, to please consider donating to my ko-fi account! or if not, just sharing this post would be a huge help. thank you!! 💗💞💗💞

FULL ALERT MY DAD NEEDS HELP
Hi everyone! I'm trying to get to Wasilla, AK from Houston TX to rejoin my kid. I was an IT supervisor in a layoff for a corporation for 4 years. I'm diabetic, unemployment will not fulfill my needs, so I'm retiring at 64.5 years old. I don't have enough to make the 4,444 mile journey through the AlCan (Alaska-Canada highway) in my 2006 van. I will be documenting my journey through Facebook. If you can help this old man make it back to his family, you're an angel. My kid is Iñuit and I want to be back where they are. God bless and quyanaqpak!

Hey friends! I took the server from the Classic F1 Fest and transitioned it into a more general classic f1 server. Here's the little blurb I wrote about it: "Classic F1 Chaos is a space dedicated to celebrating the years of Formula 1 from 1950-2000.  There are channels for fandom shenanigans, specific drivers and ships, and sharing resources about The Lore.  There will also be regular race watches organized!  This is also a great space for people who haven't interacted with the older years of F1, but are interested to learn."
And here's the link!
