Over on Whatever today, I've written a longish piece on billionaires and boycotts, how boycotts are effective (and are not), what to do when you don't feel you can boycott, and what to say when someone is telling you that you're not doing it right:

The Billionaire Boycott Conundrum

With all this Eastenders anniversary talk I suppose I should share my favourite fact about the show:
Dead Reg Cox, the body found in the very first scene of Eastenders, was played by Johnny Clayton who was the spiky faced Delegate in Doctor Who’s Mission to the Unknown.

The collection took a chunk out of the rental cost and really made it feel less hopeless.
The Monday plan was to start driving back to Portland, and when they got home then planning could start for how to get our booth to ECCC.

and a way to get home. It came out to $1750.
Adrian's friend went to get the rental after he got back from the police station.
Word had gone around the vendors and our booth neighbor took up a collection. We often say Gally is family, and this was absolute proof of that fact.

and could file the police report. There was also the fun of California not being able to access Oregon's DMV information.
Intermittently during the filing process Adrian was able to secure a rental van so that when the convention ended we had somewhere to put all our stock and displays,

They continued to run the booth while he went across town to the closest police station to file a police report (because you can't do it over the phone). Since the van was registered to Mikka he had to video call so the officer could confirm Adrian was allowed to have been driving it and

so Adrian immediately went into a panicked trauma spiral.
His amazing friends at the convention stepped in. His helper and another friend opened the booth while he talked to hotel security confirming the van was removed from the closed lot at about 3am.

This last weekend Adrian was in L.A. for Gallifrey One, and on the way to the show Sunday morning he and his helper planned on stopping by our van.
Only, our van, the Iris, wasn't there.
The Iris has been stolen twice before, during the 3 years she was also our home,

TL:DR - Our van was stolen again. She's been found, but we need financial help to get her fixed and home from California. Links to help in comments.

Hi friends.
We're sharing this because 2025 is making it clear that we need help.

Solvang, CA. wish it was a little warmer but when you’re from Arizona that’s basically the entire universe. 😂 Looking forward to another fun filled day!

I don’t talk about politics much because there is fuck all I can do but yeah, obviously, I’m not a monster.

I hold everyone who did not vote for Kamala personally responsible for all of this. We told you, warned you, begged you.

This is what you wanted. I hope you fucking choke on it.

I am just so fucking tired.

Work is good. Gally is next week. My life is fucking perfect except for *gestures to all of this*

We could have had Kamala and Tim, and if we did I wouldn’t be crying in my sleep and having constant headaches, eye twitches, and anxiety.
