Last night's urgent needs were met! Except one.
This one. This one's tough. This young mama is a DV survivor. She has to be anonymous. Her water bill is past due; with little ones, she can't afford to have it cut off.
DM/e-mail me if you can swing $140.64 for her.
LOL.
Same. I HATE this review-based culture. Just . . . make good on your work if it fails, treat your employees properly and well, and it's all good.
I literally want to scream every time a business sends me a survey or review request.
literally any purchase!
90% of the time without even a thin veneer of an incentive, like a “raffle entry for a gift card”.
The temerity of it; like RTJ said, I don’t work for free, I am barely giving a fuck away.
WELP
And another venture capitalist to replace her
But Girl Power!™
Correction:
they not "acting like." They ARE the Klan.
Never heard of him.
Oh, good grief. Just Googled. Catholic U, Marathon, and Hoover. FFS.
Also:
WHO WROTE IT?
Everybody, stop cropping out the author's name
I . . .
never mind
These people's brains are so willfully warped that there's no point
oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
LOL NO
Not even for white working class folks.
Pretty much never for working class Indigenous, Black, Hispanic/Latine/x, & Asian folks.
This is both projection and a tell: about his own privileged financial status, and about his lack of any kind of engagement with the ACTUAL working-class world.
"Of the 279 people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S. citizens, the Journal found. Close to half of those Americans were never charged with assault. None have been convicted at trial."

I think heat pumps are a far more important technology than AI.
Yep. You heard me.

Every day.
It's one big plus of mutual-aid work. It's distracting; I don't have time to wallow in fear and existential dread; and I get to hit back at the causes by making sure someone else makes it, at least one more day.
In my experience, the white folks who don't talk about politics are either conservatives or liberals who want to remain friends with conservatives. Lot of my fellow white liberals are not as progressive as they'd like to think. It's a big reason they stay quiet about their racist friends and family.
"Democrats should be taking heed of frontline organizers and activists who have long contested the everyday and extraordinary violence of immigration enforcement. … [T]here is no stopping the violence of ICE without a radical transformation of the U.S. approach to immigration."
SAMA IS COVERED!!!
THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!! ❤️
IKR?
❤️
Wanna help some locals make ends meet?
Thank you for this! ❤️
Once again - show me proof that you've helped these folks - or fuck, anyone! It's a cold world! - by at least $20 and I will create a ttrpg adventure, a short story, edit your novella, make you digital line form art. For $100, I will make you a piece of physical 8x10 wall art and ship it
Also, with Sama and Heather?
If you donate, let me know so we can track progress.
As I understand it, anyone can pay the water bill for her online, and I have the link, identifying info, account #, total, etc. The amount due is $140.64.
If you can help, DM me or e-mail me, and I'll get you the necessary info.
And third is a difficult one. I've got a local young single mama of little ones, fighting DV, and so needs to be anonymous.
Her water bill is past due [she needs kids' items, too, but she'll get me that info later].
Second is Heather, whose local "helper" business is suffering in this economy and who just had to make $2,500 in repairs to her car. She's trying everything to pick up new gigs, but I know she could use a hand and a little breathing room *now*. Again, Venmo only: Heather-Cleary-26
First is Sama. She's disabled, just had her work hours cut to 19 a week, and her heater went out, necessitating expensive space heater usage in that cold snap. She's still about $150 short. Venmo only: account.venmo.com/u/saturynn.
Okay, tonight's local urgent needs.
Eric is covered! Thank you to the kind friend who makde that happen.
But we still have some others that aren't.
Thank you; I'll tell him you said so!
FWIW, I agree with you. They're so lightweight, but so dangly, and they just shine.
