When your last parent dies, you are an orphan.
RIP, mom. You were a tragic, fucked up person who was a terrible mother and a worse wife, but god damn you were an amazing, creative, weird as hell person and I’m going to miss you until the end.
Now I step into an unknown country. Excelsior!

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

We will soon be launching our Alt Junior Ranger program, which will cost $1 to join. While we initially wanted to make it free, our past experience with free seed packs and cleanup kits showed that groups opposed to our movement signed up simply to waste resources. 1/3

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".
Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.
They just don't care about YOU.
