Hey, This Has Absolutely No Urgency Whatsoever But If You're Enjoying My Blog And You Have Some Spare

hey, this has absolutely no urgency whatsoever but if you're enjoying my blog and you have some spare change lying about, it would absolutely make my day if you could throw it at my ko-fi! I'm looking to buy an app to animate on ipad, but my paypal balance is running low and our bank isn't conventioned to send money to it.

I'll make a doodle of your choice for all tips over 10$ :D. Thanks in advance to everyone who can help out!!!

This is Dominique. She’s one of my best friends of over 20 years. Please help me bring her home to her family.

Her bright orange Jeep should stick out like a sore thumb, so if you live anywhere in or near Washington/Oregon please be on the lookout and contact the police with any tips.

The Campaign for Southern Equality, in partnership with state and local organizations, is providing rapid response support to the families of youth who are impacted by anti-transgender healthcare bans that are passing across the South. We are providing grants, navigation support, and resources to impacted families as they ensure their children can access the care they need and deserve. We are currently providing support to impacted families in Mississippi, Tennessee and South Carolina, and we are preparing to work in other states.

Please join us by donating.

We are honored to work on this project in partnership with The TRANS Program, Mississippi Rising, Inclusion TN, and OUT Memphis.

(ID: text reads "Donate to support the Southern Trans Youth Emergency Fund. Fuel our work to provide direct support to trans youth and families impacted by anti-transgender healthcare bans across the south", below this the Campaign for Southern Equality logo and a link to the fund on their website.)

I almost always play as "Sole Survivor" For Shepard's backstory because it opens up a SHIT TON of dialogue in all 3 games, a lot of it plot important.

But it's also kind of fucked up to have the human characters all being "oh wow Commander Shepard! It's so cool you have all this survivor's guilt!" and have Shepard visibly cringe and go "HAHA YEAH. HEY I KNOW, LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

Anyway Scholarship boy does a Google.

So, you know all those bad laws I tell y'all to call your senators to kill? Well here's a good one for you to promote!

Basically, you know how payment processors freak the fuck out if even the slightest whiff of adult content shows up on a website, which has lead to the widespread sanitization of the internet?

Well, this bill, S.293; aims to prevent that crap!

And, it's currently in the Committee of Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, so if your Senator is one of the following, call them and tell them to vote yes on it:

Sherrod Brown, Ohio, Chairman

Jack Reed, Rhode Island

Bob Menendez, New Jersey

Jon Tester, Montana

Mark Warner, Virginia

Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts (Tell her it would be a start on apologizing for voting yes on FOSTA/SESTA)

Chris Van Hollen, Maryland

Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada

Tina Smith, Minnesota

Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona (ugh)

Raphael Warnock, Georgia

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania

Tim Scott, South Carolina, Ranking Member

Mike Crapo, Idaho

Mike Rounds, South Dakota

Thom Tillis, North Carolina (Probably not reaching this asshole)

John Kennedy, Louisiana

Bill Hagerty, Tennessee

Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming

J.D. Vance, Ohio (Ugh)

Katie Britt, Alabama

Kevin Cramer, North Dakota

Steve Daines, Montana

If they're one of those right-wing dipshits, tell them it would help them prevent "cancel culture" via socially-conscious payment processors. Because subterfugue towards conservatives is always cool and good! Always!

Also mention that, in a happy irony, this would actually make kids safer by allowing platforms to acknowlege that, yes, people make a living selling well-endowed monoecious horsegirl drawings on their platform, and actually put properly finetuned safeguards in place.

As opposed to now, where they have to dance around it and put it in a grey-area hell so that Peter "Dracula" Thiel doesn't get his seastead in a shoal and ban them, which nobody likes!

So, call 'em if you can, boost even if you can't!

I hear Virmire is lovely this time of year.

In the past I have been willing to discuss Ashley's racism with her and get her perspective. It is now 2023, I have grown old, and I am no longer willing to listen to her. I appreciate the option Bioware gives you to tell her to shut the fuck up when she starts going off.
