HELP NEEDED TO SECURE SAFE HOUSING

My name is Ross, I'm a 24 year old artist and writer (though barely) here on Tumblr since 2014. I've spent most of time here within Bioware fandoms and have met a lot of good people both within those spaces and outside of them.

I've asked for financial help in the past for things such as bills and food for me and my family, but now I'm asking more than I ever have before. I'm asking for help in securing a safe house for me and my family to live in, replacing our 30+ year old, rotting mobile home that has served as our childhood home.

Since my dad died in 2021, it has been very hard for all of us to adjust to both the grief and the mountain of responsibilities that he previously tackled alone as the sole breadwinner. These past 3 years have been a struggle to keep bills paid and keep ourselves and our pets fed. The struggle is made so much worse with your only shelter disintegrating around you.

I've listed the financial details in the GoFundMe, but generally we need extra help in regards to prep work for replacing the house and expenses after the move (including extra payment, furniture, living expenses, etc.)

It would mean the world for me if we received the help we need to make this happen, genuinely I would be forever grateful to anyone who is able to contribute. I love my family so much and I only want what's best for us, what everyone human being deserves. I know that because of current housing costs we will be living together for the foreseeable future and I sure as shit don't have plans to buy or rent my own place anymore. This will be our home, our safest place, where I will raise my kids most likely. We so desperately need this that I can't stand to think about it not happening.

So, please, if you have the means, please consider donating even $5 to help us achieve this dream, this dream that we all thought impossible until now. Again, for every contribution, you will have my and my family's gratitude, forever.

Thank you 💖💖💖💖

There are people – some in my own Party – who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, he’ll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. I’ll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say — almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most — public praise on the Sunday news shows — in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work – just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I won’t be fooled twice.

I’ve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times I’ve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.

As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.

The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population – so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.

The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis – contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.

As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case – but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 – a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.

I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac – and suggests — without facts or findings — that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks – arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too “female” and “nonwhite.” The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.

I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next.

All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 – just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the “rally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.” It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair��� overcome us when our country needs us the most.

Ross' Gnarly Onion Soup

Cut half an onion into small pieces and crush two cloves of garlic. In a small, single serve pot cus you're the only sick one in the house, grease with a small amount of light tasting oil and fry the alliums until they're just softened slighty (you're sick you need the raw onion powers, remember this).

Add cold cuts of choice (chicken preferred) and fry that with the alliums until they crisp up, again not too much cus you need that raw onion magic.

Once the horrific sight of wet meat and onions comes together, fill the small pot halfway with water, add a small amount of soy sauce and a generous amount of bouillon and mix well together.

Once its steaming and all incorporated it's done. Top with saltines if you need more to digest. It'll look nasty, but it will taste fine, especially if you like onions. Pray that it helps kill the evil viruses in your body. 👍❤️
