It's evil to train people to fall for scams, even if you happen to not be scamming anyone.
Scams work by using urgency (act now before it's too late!). This overrides your skepticism with regards to how the money will actually help someone.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.
She missed these trials by a few months.
One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

ps thank you!
ah! then I might be okay! I sometimes buy primed canvases from Michael's when they're on sale.
I did not know any of this, and i paint in oil (along with watercolor)!! what about if I used a board with gesso as the primer?
Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...
This is harder than it sounds. The little piranhas are 5 weeks now, and don't want to hold still
Okay, we have 4 of 6 here: Jellybean (calico), Mochi (attacking mom), Dumpling (on scratcher), and Miso (murdering my leg, ow). A fifth, Cookie, is standing on my chest trying to eat my phone
