Users cannot assume that any post has been vetted and must do their own investigation.
RULES:
- All mutual aid requests must go in this community.
- Mods do not vet individual mutual aid requests. Donate at your own risk.
- Do not request donations for funding anything explicitly illegal.
- Comments giving unsolicited advice will be removed. (See below)
- Comments or posts that are critical of any mutual aid post or user will be removed. (See below)
- Posts containing opsec leaks will be removed.
Additionally:
-
If you are open to non-monetary aid please indicate so in your post
-
If you wish to provide unsolicited advice/resources, then please make a separate post in this community

Other types of non-specific meta posts about other users may be made in the [email protected] community
-
If you have concrete evidence of something even remotely suspicious, do not hesitate to bring it to the attention of a moderator for review via direct message
-
We strongly advise you ask people to send you a direct message to obtain information regarding payment to prevent inadvertent opsec leaks.
-
Please consider posting once a day and editing the title of a mutual aid post to include [Covered] or [Need Met] when a request has been satisfied or goal met.
-
Consider not making comments about receiving large donations, or about what that money is spent on.
Moderator Pinning Rules:
-
Moderators are strictly prohibited from promoting/endorsing/pinning individual mutual aid requests (especially those of their own) as this creates unfair post visibility and could therefore benefit more from that than the standard user. Moderators caught engaging in this behavior will be swiftly removed from the moderator board with extreme prejudice.
-
Moderators are allowed to pin and crosspost donation requests for large scope issues such as natural disaster relief funds and bail funds ((Example)[https://hexbear.net/post/16574) along with other crowd or moderator-compiled informational resources pertaining to donating or volunteering (Example), so long as the utmost due diligence is done prior to endorsement, especially in the case of directing people to donate to non-profit organizations.
-
Financial documents of non-profit organizations available to the public must be heavily scrutinized before moderator endorsement, and links to those must also be included in the endorsement post to help the community make their own decision if they should donate.

Omg that cat is a mood. I’m sorry you’re also going through a painful medical condition. It’s so hard. I’ve been wailing like a baby from the pain all night since my dental block wore off.
Yeah, your post here really resonated with me, thank you for allowing me to hijack to unload.
Medical pain can be a nightmare, and I find I become a lot less understanding and forgiving when it gets really bad, which I really don't like to see come out of me. Like even if I know I'm unreasonable and nothing can be done but wait, as time goes on I feel an increasing desparation to trick my brain into thinking I'm trying.
I've also understood for a while that I overapologize way way too much but I am really feeling the effects right now because of how much that waters down my words when an apology is truly needed.
And yes, I miss that little asshole with all my heart.
I worked this past weekend (it’s the biggest holiday period in my industry) and I was such a dick from the pain and yet I still made good tips, enough to pay for the insanely expensive cost of dental care here in the US.
I’m so short with people when I’m hurting.
I too over apologize and feel like I’ve been a huge burden on friends especially this past year when life events triggered major PTSD problems. I even lost some friends out of it :(
Hope you are still hanging in there stranger, rooting for you.
Check-in, are you getting through your ten days okay?
Hey thanks for thinking of me. Ugh, I’m making it slowly but surely. Was in the ER 3 times and the dentist twice, tons of antibiotics and IV antibiotics. IV steroids and painkillers. Calling an oral surgeon tomorrow morning as soon as they open…. Also it’s confirmed now that I fractured my tooth, probably when I took a hit to the head.
Pain is still there but not so bad. My tooth erupted like mt st Helen’s lol. But at least the pressure isn’t on the nerve anymore. Multiple abscesses….
Nothing you can do but keep pushing. Sorry it's been so rough.
