Okay, I -HATE- asking for help, but here I am. I need financial help. Cats need cat food, and I've got to raise about $500 by Next Friday or I lose my phone and other bills. I'm willing to work for it. I'm going to focus on Gossamer's support patreon as well.

hitting the financial wall like a truck. I could really use help again. Most of my job hunt has been 80% "AI Wrangling" positions, and 10% what I'm qualified for, and 10% Manager

But I need to keep the lights on, and unemployment isn't going to even cover rent. I'm struggling to find work still.

Ok this rules: unstream.stream

Looking for a way to support a musician directly? Like a way to buy their music or kofi or patreon or anything other than streaming?

This app someone made shows places you can do that. Search for an artist, find their platforms, give them love.

Really dig this.

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher

And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS

The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

- A group of fully grown adults
collapsed into emotional rubble this week after encountering a teacher title that did not personally receive their approval. The incident triggered mass Facebook posts, legal threats, and a community-wide reminder that the people screaming "kids are too soft" cannot emotionally survive one new word.
Parents immediately announced they were pulling children from music class, threatening lawsuits, and demanding firings, all because children accepted something calmly, politely, and without a meltdown.
This response enraged adults, who had worked very hard to be upset.
Children processed the situation in under 30 seconds.
Adults have now entered day three of spiral posting.
Several parents described the issue as "dangerous" and "immoral," words they apparently reserve for situations involving tambourines and basic respect.
One adult warned that children might ask questions, confirming the real horror is not gender, but curiosity.
The fragility on display has been remarkable. These are the same adults who mock participation trophies, complain about snowflakes, and brag about "how we were raised." That upbringing, it turns out, produced people who short-circuit when reality fails to match their Facebook comfort zone.

Experts note that not one child reported confusion, distress, or identity crisis. However, dozens of adults reported being personally wounded, spiritually attacked, and victimized by the existence of a teacher who did not cater to their feelings.
At press time, children remained fine. Music class remained fine. The school remained fine. Only the adults were broken, trembling before the terrifying idea that the world does not freeze until they approve it.
Community Note: If you would like to counter the noise, the district needs supportive messages reminding them that calm, inclusive adults still exist and that children do not need to be rescued from basic human respect.
The
encourages these parents to locate
the nearest mirror and ask themselves why a second grader has more emotional stability than they do.
