It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.

They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

Hey folks,

I just had to renew my health insurance and I’ve got to pay my car registration this month—all while I’ve finally got the big move to a permanent new home underway. I could use about $300 so I don’t get overdrawn in a few days. See the post below if you can help. Many thanks.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

One of the things we* learned from the genocide livestreamed from Palestine is that the obvious, indisputable starving of children is not enough to move the American political class. The brutal revocation of SNAP is no different. Been thinking about how far this says we are from the horizon.

Did I go to the bar and make a Lisa Frank-themed social media ask for an organ? Yes.

benefits to donating:
- temporary break from work and responsibilities as you convalesce
- badass scar
- you grow your own organ back, that’s kinda cool
- good karma
- you save my life

Ran into her yesterday morning and she had some BIG FEELINGS about the democrats cave. Her healthcare plan is doubling and she may lose her housing.
She kept repeating ‘What are they thinking?’
I really wish I knew.
Gave her $110 for the meds today, don’t know if her premiums went up or she had to cover the previous dose or what but things are very bad.
I just gave this lady on the street $60 for her medication and she followed up with 3 of the most well meaning compliments that landed on me as almost comically insulting.

...AND ANOTHER anonymous donor is matching overall fundraising donations up to the first $10,000. This means that every dollar up to my initial $1000 personal goal is actually THREE DOLLARS. So, a little challenge of my own: Anyone ELSE want to offer a donation match?

The woman on TikTok calling the mosques and asking if they’d help her with formula and 100% of them asking nothing but what kind do you want and where are you is the Muslim I am, the Muslim I know. And it really makes the hate that much more unmooring.
