Placed on the “Pectoral Fitness” lot in Del Sol Valley

Lot Type: Lounge

Lot Traits: Party Place, Convivial, Up-And-Coming Hotspot

Lot Size: 30 x 30

Extra Info:

No CC

You can also find it on the gallery under ID: spookcy

Place with bb.moveobjects on

Tray Files: HERE (google drive) HERE (sfs)

Big thing I’ve got from my study of disability in the early modern period in Britain, including dissertation research?

Poor relief that gives money out to the poorest people is probably the most benefit per amount of money, but it’s *massively*, *massively* resented by wealthier people. Not only because it’s redistribution of wealth, given it was usually raised by local taxation, but because it takes both control and opportunities to benefit from them.

The big thing money gives is options, choice, and freedom. Wealthier people value having that and massively resent poorer people having it. They much prefer giving charity to paying their taxes because a) giving charity lets them keep control of the money, even at a remove, and b) they usually find a way to benefit more directly from it.

This is basically why we have the current social security systems we have, where so much more is spent on control and policing of the behaviour of poor and disabled people than actually helping. Universal benefits were popular when the systems were set up for a variety of reasons, including reducing resentment by wealthier people, but largely because means-testing is *more expensive* and *less efficient*than universal benefits.

Wealthier people screaming for more means-testing are doing so because they prefer to have more money spent on tormenting people who are struggling with the conditions that those wealthier people create and maintain because it benefits them than that money actually reaching them.

That’s not how they parse it in their heads, I’m sure, but it *is* the reality of the situation.

anyways. thinking always about mia never wearing a skirt or dress again after her first issue.

thinking about her almost always having her hair in a ponytail after her first issue. (and the few times she doesn't, its when shes at home and particularly stressed out. when ollie was lying to her about joanna, after her diagnosis, after red hood. this was all on purpose to ME)

thinking about her fingernails, painted black in her first issue, being painted pink or red every issue after

thinking about her in her crop tops and cargo pants. in pink shirts and jeans. in jackets and sneakers and too-big tees and pyjamas. in the safety of wearing clothes for no one but herself

Do you sell anything other than coffee? I can't handle caffeine

WE DO HAVE AMAZING DECAF. In addition to coffee, I sell the world's best soap, although we are currently sold out because we did not order enough. And I sell awesome socks, but we are currently sold out of those as well.

Also, I am currently and temporarily selling 16 different pride shirts with all the profits going to the ACLU of Montana's efforts to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

Hello! I’m opening up chibi/sketch requests for charitable donations to the people of North Carolina after Hurricane Helene. If you DM me a screenshot of a receipt of a charitable donation, I will happily draw your favorite character or professional wrestler.

I have seen the terrible devastation that hurricanes can cause first hand and was very nearly hit directly by Hurricane Helene myself. Please help me help the people of North Carolina.

I’ve linked below four charities that I have reviewed and judged to be legitimate as suggestions. That being said if the way you are able to donate is through material donations (food/supply drives, etc) or your own free time (volunteering) I will also accept these with some kind of proof of your effort.

Please DM if you have any questions.

Do you love The Amazing Devil? Handmade crafts? Saving the environment? If you answered yes to any of these, get yourself hyped! I will be selling 20 of my TAD inspired embroideries on Saturday April 15th. All profits will be donated with half going to The Amazing Devil and half going to One Tree Planted, a charity dedicated to reforestation efforts around the globe.  

Want to know more? Check out this google doc that details everything about the sale from how it got started, what I’ll have for inventory, and how you can go about claiming your own beautiful, unique piece!

Hello, all! ❤

My mother has spent the last few years compiling a scifi/fantasy benefit anthology for the Ukraine, with 100% of the proceeds going toward relief efforts for the cause.

Anyone who is interested in science fiction, fantasy, supporting humanitarian efforts, or helping out a local artist who spent a lot of sleepless nights on this particular labor of love, please consider giving it a look, requesting it at your local bookstore, or even just leaving a supportive review.

feeling very very resentful over the dollar as a currency and the way online payment processing systems cater to dollars while excluding everything else

look on the one hand the guy complaining about the amount of money raised by the Harris campaign does work for a genuine nonprofit in DC helping homeless people so he's not just a Brooklyn podcaster type but on the other, it's like. while there will I believe under almost any system in a large enough society there will always be people who need additional assistance, putting a big crack in the school to prison pipeline by decriminalizing marijuana, providing resources for people leaving domestic abuse, and tax cuts for the lowest brackets will all make it so that fewer people need your services. Like, your goal as a place serving a population that is underserved should be to live in a world where they are no longer underserved. I donate to charity very regularly (including local food banks and homeless shelters) and I must admit I've never been moved to do so by someone whining that money that went to one cause I believe in didn't go to them instead, especially when that other cause will absolutely improve outcomes for theirs.

And now at the end, at the end of all things. Well, it’s finally Bandcamp Friday, which can mean only one thing- donation day! Thanks to the efforts of all you Dear Hearts, we raised a stunning $1400 for The Amazing Devil and One Tree Planted. Each half of the proceeds have successfully been sent to both. Let us hope that someday in the future we can all dance to The Amazing Devil together among the trees we all helped to plant 💖
