Ghost could use some money for Paratransit! Because the thing about being required to show up places to get help as a disabled person is uhhhhh the whole reason you need help directly gets in the way of that
Idk man. Things are weird and I'm still another week out from learning what went wrong with my ssi. PayPal is easiest but technically anything welcome. Thanks so much.

I know I’m fixating, but “shooting down party balloons and using it as a pretext for war” is literally the “99 Luftballons” story arc. 🎈🤯 (Even “Miami 2017” didn’t map this closely.)
![Wikipedia entry describing the story arc of “99 Luftballons”:
The lyrics of the original German version tell a story:
99 balloons are mistaken for UFOs, causing a military general to send pilots to investigate. Finding nothing but balloons, the pilots put on a large show of firepower. The display of force worries the nations along the borders and the defence ministers on each side encourage conflict to grab power for themselves.
In the end, a cataclysmic war results from the otherwise harmless flight of balloons and causes devastation on all sides without a victor, as indicated in the denouement of the song: "99 Jahre Krieg ließen keinen Platz für Sieger," which means "99 years of war left no room for victors." The anti-war song finishes with the singer walking through the devastated ruins of the world and finding a single balloon. The description of what happens in the final line of the piece is the same in German and English:
'''Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen," or "Think of you and let it go."[11]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4dp4culto5csbqs5m6ge22fw/bafkreie4ga5vudhvz4e25t5oducxifde6sf2zgal7wugci2bv5ee2qfcoe@jpeg)

Alright. After the food bank and buying other household needs, can anybody help me get groceries? I need about $75. PayPal is best, as usual. I'm hoping this is the last month I need extra help but it doesn't change the fact that I need it.

The rest of the thread gets into it, but the violence is less visible—and that translates into fewer resources for growing need.
Minnesota is truly in an economic crisis. Every harm compounds every day that the ICE occupation continues. If you donated a month ago, it’s time to donate again.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.
There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

This is troubling for multiple reasons, but one big one is companies won’t want to invest in R&D and clinical trials if they don’t think they can get a fair regulatory review—which is at the end of a long and extremely expensive process.
