The best help I can ask for is more patreons. Right now I’m receiving about $450/mo from Patreon. This supplements the income I get from working at Taco Bell, about $1200/mo. More Patreon = less Taco Bell, more writing, more road trips, more life on my terms

DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season”

The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

I called my mom just now and she answered all flustered and said “Erin? Just a second right now Dad and I are screwing in the tree“ and it took me a very long pause to realize she meant they were putting the Christmas tree up.

Afternoon Update: Still stalled at needing $1390 by next Thursday, Christmas Day, in order to pay this month's rent. It's been three days since my last donation and I'd really like to make some progress on this. #MutualAidRequest

As has been apparent for a while, the whole goal is to intimidate employers to not hire minorities because if they do, any white guy they pass over may run to Trump and make things hard on them.
everything is so fucking stupid

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.

Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

Post office couldn’t deliver a package because postage was due, and I got a note to pick it up at the post office. Go to the post office, they lost it.

For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit.

The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.
There's no hard data, so it's impossible to know for sure, but I suspect the number of adult children cutting off their parents isn't significantly higher than it used to be, and what's actually new is that the children are now explaining it in therapy terms rather than simply ceasing contact.

One of my best Christmas Eve memories is 2013, when I was the only stripper working the whole day. I got to dance to Santa Baby and All I Want For Christmas Is You, in my floor length pink coat with black fake fur trim and matching Santa hat. I drank fake champagne and hung out with the DJ all day

At many shelters, if you donate your Christmas party leftovers, they’ll be eaten by staff and not homeless/unhoused people. Many shelters have rules about only accepting packaged food. It’s for “safety” but it’s also for cheapness and staff greed

Worst Christmas gifts you’ve ever received, go

Mine was second hand crotch less panties from my grandmother. She got them as a gag gift for her 50th wedding anniversary. She gave them to me and said “I think you’ll get more use out of these”

I want to send people cards but it feels weird to send Hanukkah cards to my non Jewish friends and it feels dishonest to send Christmas cards so I might just pick a set of animal post cards and write “holiday!” And be done with it

This was last year. This year my mom and sister are on an exclusive trip to New Zealand and Australia so I can’t wait to see what horrors lie in wait for me
Christmas took on a weird dimension this year as my mom took the opportunity to do show and tell with several expensive souvenirs she bought this year on her 3 international trips

My sister, who just returned from Patagonia, could not afford gifts this year

Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas movie because when I was escaping homelessness and sex trafficking in 2016, my fiancé Dave bought it for me to watch Christmas Eve in his house, even though he fell asleep in the first 5 minutes. It was a gift he gave me
