My dearest friend set up the weekly and monthly donation options so that we can stay alive after a tent was destroyed just 100 meters away from us last night. The sand covered our faces while we were still alive.
I’m deeply depressed and can’t keep begging one by one for help anymore.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Just for any academics, let me be clear, Hookland is anti-nostalgic. It's an exploration and exorcism of my childhood, not a celebration of falsely remembered sunshine. Nostalgia is a warping gravity.

I was a stripper for 10 years and a full service sex worker (whore) for 3 years. Where are all the men I entertained? Sex workers gave you laughter, arousal, companionship, education, where are you now???

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

So now I have a rat in a maternity cage (Cowen) AND a rat in a recovery cage (Cain, fresh from a mass removal) AND three rats in the big cage (Chandler II, Capote, and Collins) and I'm just like, fuck it, maybe I'll convert the entire floor space of the apartment to rat cages and become a rat.

I think we are due for another recontextualization where we recognize that Victor is no more pure monster than the Monster is.
Doing this without invoking a bunch of 'male loneliness epidemic' tropes will be hard but necessary.

It's why all of the Creature's more villainous and spiteful acts in Mary Shelley's book were either omitted, recontextualized or given to Victor instead.
It's why, I think, he can't do horror.
He loves monsters too much. The man is a dedicated romantic.

How many more lives will be ruined by bullshit forensic 'science'?
Prosecutors broke with tradition and didn’t fight to uphold the conviction.
In fact, the DA urged the court to overturn it: “Every single medical expert, using current science, confirms that Russell and Kaye Maze are actually innocent."

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.

I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!
