Your support has been incredible through this rough patch - if thereโ€™s anything anyone can offer to help in this final stretch, itโ€™s very appreciated. ๐Ÿ’–

Instead of accidentally blowing off a finger or two today and scaring dogs in the meantime, how about you let the Universe deliver some fireworks to you? I'll even explain the colors!

A lot of people are feeling defeated, terrified, and/or lost rn. In times like this, you NEED to find your community. Mutual aid, Community, caring- all of these things are going to be how we get through any of this; together.

I appreciate the idea of crowdfunding and think itโ€™s unfortunately necessary in this world, but GoFundMe in particular really perpetuates the idea that only the deserving should receive help I wish people didnโ€™t feel like they need to check someoneโ€™s CV when they are in crisis

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.
