USAID and Media Funding: Is the Era of “Independent Journalism” Sponsored from Abroad Coming to an End?

A new investigation has shed light on the controversial role of USAID in funding media and journalism worldwide. This issue has gained even more attention following Donald Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid funds, including those intended to support media organizations. USAID: An Investor in “Independent” Journalism? Over the past years, USAID has funded: More than 6,000…

✌The OCCRP and U.S. State Department Funding: Investigative Journalism or Geopolitical Tool?

“Tracking OCCRP Financing: The influence of U.S. State Department funding on investigative journalism networks.” The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) is often celebrated for its investigative work uncovering corruption, organized crime, and financial scandals. However, its reliance on funding from the U.S. Department of State has raised significant questions about its…

In complete seriousness, they need to make laws about ads that say they can take no more than one, maybe two, clicks/taps to close/skip. No more "wait 10 seconds until you can skip the video, wait 10 seconds until you can skip the fake playable ad, wait 5 seconds until you can close the 'download now' overlay, puts up a half-screen in-app appstore pop-up (which at least you can close immediately)." This should literally be illegal to do.

Edit: this is blowing up so I just wanted to add (haha ad) that this was my "reasonable request" I also think there should be way more and way stricter laws around all advertising in general. I think most advertising as we know it today should be abolished.

For the humans that still have a heart, humans are burning and children are being beheaded from airstrikes in a sea of burning tents in Rafah. 40 fake beheaded babies got more sympathy and care then real Palestinian babies who have been beheaded for the past 8 months from brutual airstrikes. No words left.

The Green brothers are doing effective altruism better than maybe 95% of people who identify online as effective altruists.

Hello!

I'm opening large patch/crust clothing commissions to pay for top surgery because I can't use insurance for personal reasons. Ergo, I have to pay 10k out of pocket.

I'd negotiate the price with each individual person depending on the size and scale. I don't use stencils and every patch I've done is ooak. I could select clothing to patch for you if you give me sizing, or you could mail me a particular jacket.

I handsew the patches with embroidery floss, can be different colors too. The patches are usually hemmed with washable fabric glue, but I can also use a sewing machine if that's preferred . I also use heat-sealed fabric paint that can be washed gently in a washer and dryer for easy cleaning. I want these things to last.

For something with 30-40 patches I'd probably charge 400-500 USD, but depends on the complexities of each patch, etc. I accept paypal, please dm me or reblog.

Here are some examples of my personal work:

As a token of our appreciation, every donor will receive a special Martin and GSD postcard (if you feel comfortable sharing your address with me). Check out the donation link below —thank you for your generosity! ❤️

What's stopping the possibility of a ceasefire is pretty simple. Hamas is holding 239 Israeli civilians hostage including children and the elderly. What's happening in Palestine is a travesty and horrendous. But Israel can't initiate a ceasefire from the position they're in, so we need to be agitating for Hamas to release the hostages and call for a ceasefire instead.

NO GENOCIDE IS JUSTIFIABLE

HOW DOES THE KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE ON THIS EXTREME LEVEL FORCE HAMAS TO RETURN HOSTAGES??

ISRAEL'S BOMBARDMENT AND INDISCRIMINATE SHOOTING IN GAZA THREATEN EVERYONE THERE INCLUDING DOCTORS JOURNALISTS CHILDREN ENTIRE FAMILIES AND THE HOSTAGES

EVERYONE IS TARGETED

YOU HAVE HOSPITALS BOMBED HOW ANY OF THIS IS JUSTIFIED

Emergency Roof Repair and Storm Cleanup Commissions

As mentioned in previous posts and pinned @anotherdayforchaosfay , we have just been through a natural disaster. Please read the pinned post on that blog. Updates will be added once we get outside and photograph the damage for our insurance claim.

I have opened commissions three months earlier than planned because we need to raise money to cover our insurance deductible as well as hiring someone to remove the tree from our roof and yard. The tree is owned by a lazy landlordlord who owns the property next door. We have told him repeatedly it needs to be trimmed or there will be damage. His property got a quick install sunroof.

I have four slots available across the board and prices start at $150 USD.

I have made the option of commissioning me for a quilt available. Three finished quilt tops are listed as commissions because they're ready for handquilting. Several people have inquired about one of the tops, so now's your chance to have it done sooner than later.

If you can do only a partial payment right now, DM me. I'll write up a contract for payments, and will require 50% upfront and weekly/monthly installs after that. You will then receive an invoice.

Commissions will begin immediately because we now have power.

I will close commissions when all slots are filled or June 1st, 2024. Whichever happens first (hopefully the former). If slots are filled, I will reopen them again after I finish all the commissions. I work fast and may complete six quilts netween now and then.

Donations are accepted,and there are four listings available in my shop with the option to pay more than my asking price (if you add an extra zero, I may very well cry).
