As some of you may know I'm helping get @sheffieldmaskbloc up and running but handling funds is a potential challenge. Therefore I've decided to... #AskFedi of course! For those of you involved in #MaskBlocs or #MutualAid in general, particularly in the UK, how have you managed donations and funds? Personal accounts are not only individual responsibility rather than collective, but also not appropriate for people like me who are #SelfEmployed and/or on #UniversalCredit and other forms of social security! Any ideas? We don't want the mask bloc to be a formalised bureaucratic group! So it's a little difficult for it to have a bank account lolz #funds #funding #volunteering #donations

CW: Long Covid Awareness Day, family, mutual aid, radical collective care
Also, really wanted to say on #LongCovidAwarenessDay how grateful I am for my amazing partner who cares for me and supports me, unconditionally, so much on a day to day basis; I am not sure what I would do without them. I also am lucky to have a few close family members, some who have always been supportive and then others who seem to be responding positively to my change in approach of being a stronger advocate for myself and my illness. Again, I am really thankful for how much of a positive impact the online community has had on me with this. Importantly, this also relates into the need for radical intersectional praxis regarding Mutual Aid e.g. Mask Blocs, creating and sharing resources with each other, and building communal care collectives that foster new, healthier, solidarity framed relationships, resisting state violence collectively, rather than having to be 'lucky' enough to have people close to you, especially family, there for us.
