please help a queer disabled Jew in need

I hate that I have to keep doing this, but rent is due soon, and I’m still behind trying to pay off last month’s utilities, while my main source of income has gotten really slow. If you have any money to spare, please consider helping me out.

Here are my links:

i have a random issue with a handful of pre-srar fall out boy songs where I LOVE the the start of the song or just generally everything but the chorus, but the chorus itself i find kind of underwhelming (eg: ilalwtwiattgyo, ttotbo, igatrimeanomf, cfmrfrpfmsr, gblogbd(dyptstsasgts)

Before COVID shut the library down, I was helping a little boy and his mom find books.

“What do you like to read about?” I asked. “Dinosaurs!” This is common request, but can mean different things, “Okay. Do you want a story about dinosaurs, or facts about dinosaurs?” “Facts.” I took him to the dinosaur section (567.9) of the juvenile nonfiction. He picked out a couple books, and I asked him if there was anything else he was looking for. “Do you have anything on DNA?” I had to think about that for a second. “I think so…but I’ll have to look it up.” The boy beamed, “I want to find out how DNA works, so I can bring them back!” “We just saw Jurassic Park,” his mom explained with a smile that did not waver when she added, “We didn’t learn anything.”

I just want to point out & state flatly what is implicit in all the above but not stated outright: one of the criteria of genocide is the intentional destruction of a group by forcibly transferring children of that group to another group. These policies of the Catholic church were aimed at destroying the Jews as a people, to replace & supersede them through forced conversion; they were an act of genocide.

Antisemitism is such a pervasive evil that even many of the people volunteering to help Jews who had just escaped Nazi extermination camps just turned around & extended the genocide even further by trying to prevent the return of Jewish children to Jewish homes.

This gets lost with how explicit & open & industrialized the Holocaust was, but this genocide had been going on long before the Shoah and continued even after it, including being perpetrated against Jews who were already Holocaust survivors—using safety from the Nazis as the excuse to do it.

Love seeing something from TikTok and going “girlie that is literally what led to the downfall of the Papal States”

every once in a while I am reminded that this mashup of Animals by Nickelback & Boogie Wonderland by Earth Wind & Fire (etc) exists and how hard it slaps

I’m not a Nickelback hater by any means but I can’t think of a single Nickelback song that couldn’t be improved by a Earth Wind & Fire-style disco remix like this

they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

yes, Bruce Wayne wears long thick wool coats (always black) because that’s what old money does, it’s what his parents wore (like that post about Martha’s coat being an inspiration for Batman’s cape) and I’m sure for other reasons.

but also? a ankle-length, thick, 100% wool coat can hide SO many things:

weapons (duh)

Kevlar vest / bulletproof vests (this is actually what a lot of politicians do on outdoor campaign stops)

recording devices or other gadgets (you could hide an infinite number in a large man’s coat)

secret pockets in the lining, sleeves, collar, etc

an actual cape (I hc Bruce has a prototype cape that doubles as an innocuous coat)

lead shielding (heavy but worth it, and not just for Superman reasons)

field grade insulation above what a typical wool coat already offers (which is a decent amount if you can find 100% wool)

a bulky coat conceals your shape easily so it can hide bandages or emphasize/de-emphasize musculature etc
