Mutual Aid Checkpoint Roundup 20/05/2026
This mutual aid checkpoint roundup gathers urgent requests from the week, including direct appeals and Palestinian campaign spotlights. Support what is possible, contribute where able, and circulate the original requests so help can move beyond exhausted circles.
UPDATE 12-May-2026 07:45 UTC+7.
355/560 — 205 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 4 days 🥹 I appreciate all kinds of distribution, really. I do really need help.
UPDATE 11-May-2026 11:30 UTC+7.
353/560 — 207 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 5 days. Monthly pledges help ease the instability that comes with disability and having no fixed income or healthcare, though one-off support also helps immensely. Small contributions add up toward the essentials that keep me afloat: food, bills, and internet access. If...
Update 2026-05-07 16:40 UTC+7
No movement so far. I still need $212 to cover the total of $560 for this month. The deadline is fast approaching :') I'm disabled without a fixed income or healthcare. Support helps me stay connected and continue my work in mutual aid, political writing, and advocacy. If you have the capacity, I appreciate any support. If not, please help amplify this far and wide. Thank you, thank you https://wrzky.com/links
It’s been a minute…
After losing multiple Threads accounts, WRZKY began rebuilding through the Fediverse, federating the website via ActivityPub, and developing independent mutual aid infrastructure beyond Meta’s corporate control and algorithmic suppression—while preparing the return of Mutual Aid Checkpoint through decentralised platforms and newsletter-based community organising.
Update 05-05-2026
348/560 — $212 left to cover May essentials. Thank you to everyone who’s contributed so far I’m disabled with no healthcare or fixed income, and I need ongoing support to stay afloat. If you can spare at least $5/month, it would make a real difference. If you prefer one-off support, that helps just as much....

"Bowie: Una Biografía" by María Hesse
For most of us, David Bowie is a collection of icons: the lightning bolt, the space suit, the mismatched eyes. We know the skin of the legend, but María Hesse’s illustrated biography manages to peel that back. While it isn’t an exhaustive, it is something much more evocative. It’s a sensory journey through the life of a man who was constantly reinventing what it meant to be human. The book flows chronologically but feels like a series of reincarnations. Here is how the journey breaks down: As a ...

Introducing my big blue suitcase
Five years ago when I moved across the country, I stuffed all of my zines into this big suitcase and there they have lived ever since. It’s powder blue, with a disgusting soiled fabric lined interior, except on the bottom where I once hot glued a bunch of electronics- back when I used it to house an instrument I built to make noise. I got it from the Salvation Army in Hadley MA. Since moving to LA the suitcase lived mostly in my van, and then when my van died it lived in the warehouse at the lab...
Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon (2012)
At its core, Steal Like an Artist is a manifesto for the modern creator. Kleon’s main premise is liberating: nothing is completely original. Instead of the crushing pressure to create something from a blank slate, Kleon argues that all creative work is a remix of what came before. The book is structured around ten simple lessons that demystify the tortured genius trope. It teaches you how to collect influences, build a creative lineage, and—most importantly—how to fake it until you make it by em...
"De cero a uno: Cómo inventar el futuro" (2014)
Zero to One is a powerful reminder that evolution isn't enough; true innovation requires a leap into the unknown. Thiel’s core message is that vertical progress comes from creating something entirely new—moving from 0 to 1—rather than simply competing in an existing market.It feels a bit like a time capsule now. While the mindset is still essential, some examples haven't aged perfectly, and the total lack of AI mentions feels like a glaring omission in today's landscape. However, the book's chal...
"Acontece que no es poco" (2023)
The book offers a quick overview of many historical events and includes a substantial bibliography.I would have preferred a slightly more formal style, although I enjoyed reading it.If you've ever heard the author speak on the radio, the book is written in a similar style.
The Lessons of History (1997)
If you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of the modern world, this 100-page masterpiece is the ultimate macro perspective. After spending 40 years writing the history of the world, the Durants distilled everything they learned into this concise brief. It is not a book about dates and wars; it is a book about how the world actually works. The Durants argue that history is a branch of biology. Our technology changes, but our instincts—to compete, to protect our kin, and to accumulate—remain ident...
There Is No Antimemetics Division audiobook
I just finished up listening to the audiobook version of There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm. Can safely say that I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend. That said, I loved This Is How You Lose The Time War, loaned it to a few people and don't think any of them finished it....
