URGENT MUTUAL AID - $30/150
Hello all! It's your friendly neighborhood mod Glitch, and I am in need of some help.
I am a trans nonbinary disabled neurodivergent individual (ME/CFS) who is unable to work and I haven't been able to get disability.
I've been trying to get help for a few days now without any luck. Please read below why this is so urgent for me:
Have a sudden change of plans since I will be moving back into my apartment next week now that the remodel is finished.
We do have a heat wave coming this week, so I could use some help with groceries so I can get some cold food/shelf stable food to get through the week, cat food/cat litter, and some personal care/hygiene items. Any help is appreciated.

A Simple Fix for the Healthcare Crisis: Outlaw Insurance
Both sides in the health care debate have vested interests in screwing the pooch, so to speak, and little interest in solving the problem. Neither side ever asks, "What is the problem?"

ActivityPub is wrong, these are not emoji, not even "custom" ones.
We called them stickers even in the 1990s, so. Do.
Oh, yes, that could be true! 🤔
But I see, @mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.org means real-life objects that inspired them — makes sense, but for me it wasn't like that. This could also be country and language specific.
In any case — yes, for the sake of correctness, emojis are original Japanese characters, but I personally don't mind the term being used more broadly 😁

Challenge: Prove that an Epstein client list exists.
Over the last 4 years that I have been collecting and cataloging news and memes I have saved almost 60K images.
I read every charging document on Ghislaine Maxwell, and I saved every piece of evidence related to the case that I could find.
I have never seen proof that an "Epstein client list" even exists let alone that it would be trustworthy if it did.
Is there anyone that can prove it exists? I seriously doubt it.

So... I printed a pocket sized gas filter cartridge to mouth adapter. It fits and works! Great for all the other times when one doesn't want to carry a full face respirator around everywhere for the occasional less than lethal dog fart.
I found this has already been designed, "3M Filter Adapter for Snorkel Mask (dual or single filter)" and I chose the single filter and printed it, and here is the success. It will need an oring (which can be printed with TPU filament LOL.) The only change I would make is printing it slightly smaller at 98% for a better fit to the cartridge and 100% infill for strength, so just started another print.
And possibly another revision, to print the whole thing in TPU as this is held by the mouth and teeth 😁

I really appreciate The Nation as a publication. Their latest issue has analysis by a writer from 50 states, honing in on one issue in each state.
In this piece on Arizona, the writer looks at how our media environment creates a self -destructive performativity incompatible with a healthy democracy.

Hope can be a tricky thing.
We should all hold out hope that things will improve, that despite how bleak it may look, things have a way of getting better, or if they don’t that we ourselves can improve and be changed by circumstance into something more than we believed we could be.
However placing your hope IN some government, some country, some politician, some ideology or some policy is foolish.
We must all learn to draw this distinction, and stay on the right side of the line.
Well said.
There are those who look at 'saviors' in our politicans. Biden or Que Mala will save our democracy!
When Trump won, these same people claimed Trump supporters were a cult. Who knows, some may be.
However, intelligent people realized Trump had many good statements and was better than any alternative available.
Of course we are disappointed. We did not expect the yellow brick road.
However, we need to defend against the cultists who worship big gubmint sans Trump.
