An online friend encouraged me to make a GoFundMe. I've gotten $30 of the $4,000 I need by the end of the month. So I'm putting it in more places and keeping my expectations buried in a shallow grave.
Cat tax is the only tax I can readily afford.

I have a tax bill that's about to send my (paid for) house into foreclosure thanks to my mental health leading to long-term unemployment, and my partner's contract ending five months ago.
I have no social media reach, no audience, no network of friends, no support system.
Oh daaaaaaaang <3

Why is the first panel blue Solas?
Threads is a WILD RIDE
It's like all the cracked conspiracy theories of early 90s UseNet passed through a White Folks Using AAVE filter and laid over the most intense algorithmic exposure model yet created.
Still better than X.
Wait wait wait....people are legitimately going to bat for Eminem? Hates women, hates gay people, fell off hard as hell....eminem?
"The truth might make more people angry"
Barack Obama only pops up to remind people that yes, it's the WHOLE party that's useless.
I've been called an "n-word lover" enough times in my life to understand that white women who don't follow the script are not just disposable, but are a direct threat.
But that's never a reason to fall in line.
David Bowie was one of the musicians who slept with 13 year old groupies.
By any rational standard he was a creep,no matter how much you like his music.
Roman Polanski is a brilliant filmmaker whose work I really appreciate. And a complete creep.
Having grown up in Hampton Roads - thats an amazing turnout.
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
"The obvious and pervasive liars lied to us!"
What a useless political party.
Late 90s/early 2ks in my area there seemed to be just a huge number of young people in Jettas driving like they stole it. I don't think it was universal.
I have noticed that the "jackass driver who has no idea what they're doing" that has moved from various car archetypes in my life (Jettas, BMWs, Escalades, huge GMC trucks) has seemed to shift to Teslas lately.
(The fuckoff huge trucks are still a big issue though)
So the chick who is supportive of her rapist husband and her child-rapist brother is using a "supporting Trans kids is pedophilia and predatory" attack on a guy who notably doesn't support Trans kids.
We are the dumbest country and it's not even close.
Please please please stop making everything a musical.
Please.
Wanting better things / having policy goals = circular firing squad.
Got it.
Why develop anything meaningful - like policies or stances - when you believe your potential constituents are just gormless dorks with no values seeking a catchier slogan?
Dude, at least a statement of disagreement, as useless as that is, would be more than the complete silence on offer.
I voted "the right way" and stayed engaged with political minutia for a few decades, arguing very similarly to you regarding engagement with the process. Eventually a person who isn't delusional stops and evaluates the intractability of the situation.
Go be smug elsewhere.
If you paid money to see this in person... oof.
Eat shit, kiddo.
Actually, I'll expand. I've been a voter since December 1995. This is not a new issue. And volunteering for a party I'm not a member of while living in a deep blue dot in a wildly gerrymandered state is not going to fix the broken-ness of the US political system.
No.
I'm so so so tired of this scolding liberal shtick.
Not once in my life has there been a US candidate that aligned with even half of my opinions, yet I've dutifully avoided letting perfect be the enemy of good for over 30 years of voting.
If we never demand better we will never get it.
It's nearly impossible to compare the two so far.
Every sentence is the new most enbarassung sentence
Wade Barrett saying "Female" over and over is my only takeaway from this match so far. #survivorseries
You should stay lurking.
