I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing.

Okay somewhat decent news.
I actually only owe 3.3k in total and they said they're going to let the courts know I've made payments and we will reach on some kind of payment plan.
So still urgent but slightly less urgent

Spirit Halloween Dani 🎃 @djamiempls.meatjacker.social · 5d

Well just when I was feeling okay, I got the court hearing notice that I have to pay $5.7k in order to keep my home (not including what I owe already and paid today).

Here's the proof and court is the 16th of October.

I need so much more help than I realized.

Well got back from vacation to be laid off in a cost cutting move. So if anyone has any job leads in the content writing/editing/online teaching worlds, would be grateful

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

Statistically Backed Stereotypes for Each 40k Faction. Astounding. Motion for Deathwatch to be renamed to Hotwifewatch.

www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/c...

Text tong to fit - it's a list of subreddit memberships for each of the 40k factions. Here's a sample...

r/AdeptusCustodes: gundam (19.71), airforce (19.20), daytrading (16.56), sandersforpresident (9.82), centrist (6.93). Conclusion: Ex-military guys with schizophrenic politics.

r/AdeptusMechanicus: pathfinder_rpg (14.05), adhdmeme (7.27), dankleft (6.07), theowlhouse (5.88), kerbalspaceprogram (5.39). Conclusion: Current stereotypes are pretty much correct.

r/BloodAngels: preppers (15.98), airforce (15.74), menslib (9.04), asktrp (9.01), asktrumpsupporters (8.45). Conclusion: Black Templars got nothing on these guys.

No, they gave a confused sounding "ok, uhh, well" and then hung up lol

This is fascinating to me as someone who has exclusively opposed any reopenings, and makes sense as to why the caller reacted confusedly when I said as much before hanging up

I can vouch for Dani and their sweet kiddos. They are working so hard, and this young family is in need to not be put out on the street. Can you help?

This bookstore is fucking awesome! Donate if you've got the money! (Also, postcard for only $5!)

Boneshaker Books @boneshakerbooks.bsky.social · 7d

The rumors are true: Boneshaker is headed to a new location! We need your help to dig up our bones and move on over to 26th and Lyndale. We're hoping to raise $15,000 total, $6k of that by 10/17. Learn more at bit.ly/boneshakermove and thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

Why move? While we love a lot about our current location, we’ve struggled with dwindling foot traffic, low sales, and expensive maintenance issues.

We believe our new space will offer resources that will allow us to exist more sustainably as a community organization for the long haul.

How can I help? Our goal is to raise $15,000 total to fund the move, make some improvements to the new space, and build out our inventory.

Ultimately, we need at least $6,000 by October 17th so we can reopen in our new space at 708 W 26th St. by around November 1st.

Donate and find out more about the move (and the cool perks you can get for donating!) via the QR code or URL below.
Thank you for helping Boneshaker thrive!

No I swear the reason I don't sort my mail is named Circe (definitely not ADHD haha whaaaat)

Circe, a light calico with tabby stripes, lays atop a small pile of mail and a closed laptop, centered on a messy desk.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

most effective way to monetize access to alternate timelines would probably be their cultural content. movies, books, etc. raw materials are hard to transport, bur content easy to get back to your timeline and it's not like copyright law applies across quantum probabilities.
