TransButterflyQueen (She/They)<p><span>So I did the math. I am about $10,000 dollars short of my tution. If I qualify for work-study, I can probably get that down to about half. Due to some serious mental health struggles earlier this year, I missed the deadlines for a lot of scholarships.<br><br>I had 14 people boost the original post, and that's awesome! However, I didn't get a single donation. Let's say all of the 14 boosters had 20 followers. If even 1 of those twenty followers gave a small amount, even $5, that would pretty much double what I already had. Please, any small amount is appreciated. If you're going through crisis rn, I completely understand. But if not, could you spare even a dollar or two? I'm trying to building momentum so more people will see the campaign, and hopefully I can get the money I need.<br><br><br></span><a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/lgbtqia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqia</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/lgbtq" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/lgbtqmutualaid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtqmutualaid</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/transmultualaid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transmultualaid</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mutualaid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualaid</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mutualaidrequest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualaidrequest</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mulualaidrequests" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mulualaidrequests</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/college" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#college</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/uni" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uni</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/university" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#university</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mutualaid@a.gup.pe</a> <a href="https://bird.makeup/users/mutualaidboost" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mutualaidboost@bird.makeup</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mutualaid@kolektiva.social</a><span> <br></span><a href="https://mastodon.social/@MutualAidNet" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@MutualAidNet@mastodon.social</a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>In the latest in Academic complicity with Israel's Genocide against the Palestinian people, New York University School of Law has just barred 31 pro-Palestine law school students from campus facilities and demanded that they sign away their right to protest in exchange for being allowed to return. If the students don’t renounce their right to protest on campus, they will be unable to sit for final exams.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreePalestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeechMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSpeechMatters</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/students" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>students</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protest</span></a></p><p><a href="https://theintercept.com/2025/05/03/nyu-law-students-protests-gaza-palestine-israel/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theintercept.com/2025/05/03/ny</span><span class="invisible">u-law-students-protests-gaza-palestine-israel/</span></a></p>
TransButterflyQueen (She/They)<p><span>Alright, it looks like I've had a few donations to my gofundme!! right now my goal is about 3,000,,, although I'm probably going to need more than that tbh. <br><br>Uni is really my only chance to get out from my transphobic family atm, so any small donation is appreciated. If you can't donate, could you please boost it?<br><br>The gofundme has my deadname on it, so I don't really feel comfortable openly sharing it,,, if you wanna support me, please dm me or comment on this post, and I'll send you the link!<br><br></span><a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/trans" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trans</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mutualaid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualaid</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mutualaidrequest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mutualaidrequest</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/mulualaidrequest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mulualaidrequest</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/college" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#college</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/uni" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#uni</a> <a href="https://kitsunes.club/tags/university" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#university</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/mutualaid" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mutualaid@a.gup.pe</a></p>
