Does anyone else want a crack at this? I was getting paid $19/hour and paying child support.

This is our time to be the light in an ever darkening world. In the words of Sarah Williams, "I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."

Did you see this? It's not the boost they think it is. They just handed the race over to @fpwellman.bsky.social who already was likely on higher ground.

The president of Mexico.

THE PRESIDENT.

OF MEXICO.

This is why we will always choose the bear.
I'm not going to give too much detail here but a man is groping and kissing the president of fucking Mexico from behind.

This is the best message. My friend Christine and her family have been living in a tent and their car for months. It's getting cold here, so I invited them to stay here for a bit. I've had their kitties, so everyone is happy.

They are moving into their place today!

It goes on hamberders, not walls.
Screenshot from a platform I really don't know with an idyllic photo of a basic metal swingset in a lovely garden labeled summer 1998. The panel next to it is some sorcery called cooking -- a white and pink floral stock pot with some kind of reddish goo in it. I'm guessing it's a dessert or jam or God knows what Betty crocker concoction. Text on that panel reads when sweets were baked, not bought. There is a third panel on the bottom with text that reads loving this new TikTok trend of 14 year olds thinking 1998 was actually the 1800s. Panel is -- brace yourselves -- a bottle of purple Heinz easy squirt labeled where k e d c h u d (misspelled ketchup) o u r p l e (misspelled purple)

Move in day is almost here! Christine needs help with a few things. If you're in Kansas City and can help in person, fantastic! DM me. If you would like to help financially:

I'm so thrilled they are out of the car!

Screenshot of a message that reads 90 for the rest of the application fees 36 for an Amtrak ticket for my son And then a bed for my Mom. I posted on the buy nothing page. And then I'll figure out my bills by then most likely with my next check and I can go to pantries to get some food in the house and then I gotta figure a way to get a uhaul and help to move the stuff we do still have out of storage so we don't have to keep paying that

This is most of my day right now. Jerry goes home in a few days. Anyone wanna come and just follow me around the house all the time after that?

This month, I'm going to share mutual aid from my Facebook long COVID group, along with any crafts and other things they make and sell. I'll continue to add to this post in the comments. Please, if you have the means, these are people who really need the support. Thanks!

It's the final push! Christine & her fam will have a home this week! They are scrambling to get to the finish line. She's been working her tail off and feeling the weight of the world.

Can we get everyone who is able to send her $5? Let's help!

Christine's kitty, Jerry, who is gray with white chest and white paws, sitting on my bed, looking up at a plant hanger suspended from the rail going across the top of the foot of my bed. He's just making sure there is no plant on it to bother me. Thanks, Jerry.

In two weeks, @kcopera.bsky.social is doing Madame Butterfly. I'm taking Sam, who is now 12 (almost 13). This was the last time the Lyric did Butterfly -- and the last time I saw it.

Okay, okay -- how has this not gone viral yet? This is a friend's daughter, and I'm in love!

(Yes, they are okay with sharing and would love to talk with media -- in the Lawrenceburg, Indiana, area!).

Let's help them!

A lot of people are struggling right now, so we need to be strategic with how we help. If you are in the Kansas City area, let's start looking in Buy Nothing groups. They will be in Independence, and gas is expensive. They'll need 3 beds. Venmo is Christine-Hankins-5.

TYSM!!

They've been making the most of living in their car, taking photos of nature around them, but they're going home in time for the holidays. They move in next week -- but they have nothing.

These two goobers are going home! I'll miss Jerry's snuggles and watching Milkshake in the window (he's so pretty in the sunlight!).

But do you know what that means? Christine and her family are going home!!! I'm so thrilled for them.

This cat. It's Jerry. He's mostly gray with white socks and a white chest, and an itty bitty white tip on his tail. It's a close up shot of him curled up next to me on my bed Milkshake is a beautiful fluffy creamy colored cat with darker tan markings on his back and face. Pretty blue eyes. He's standing on my light blue dresser next to the TV, questioning my life choices. But he's so pretty in the morning sunlight filtering in that I frankly agree with him

And people won't have SNAP next month?
