Hi friends. I’m trying to get my bills current and eventually relocate, which I urgently need to do, but it’s been especially hard since my car was repossessed and I lost my SNAP benefits (due to an administrative screw-up). Anything you can send me would help a lot! 💕 Venmo/Cashapp: claymationary

I’d really appreciate any help—I lost both my car and my SNAP benefits not too long ago and making up the difference while looking for real work has been basically impossible. 🙏

All my college acquaintances are on LinkedIn posting shit like, “I’m thrilled to announce my new role as Director of Psychological Operations at Frito-Lay.”

For a limited time only, if you send me money, I’ll spend it. $50? I’ll spend it. $150? I’ll spend that, too. $150,000? You best believe I’d spend that shit.

Hey all. I’d really appreciate any help I can get escaping the financial black hole I’m stuck in. I’m trying to cover gas, groceries & bills while saving up for a move—the best/only shot I have at finding real work and perhaps even something called “happiness”? 💞 Venmo/CashApp: claymationary :)

I’m lucky in a lot of ways: I know exactly what I want to do, I have the skills and experience to do it well, and people who believe in the work. What I don’t have is an iota of stability or financial security not to spend every minute of every day chasing the same $20 that was spent the day before.

We’re at an inflection point: the ruling class is running a live, mass social experiment to see how much they can crush labor before the bottom falls out and the merry-go-round of flowing capital implodes because only 6 people have any money. They’re confident they don’t need us. Are they wrong?

Wealth needs to be understood as the power to direct human labor toward your own aims. Billionaires can put thousands of people to work doing almost anything they want whenever they want, and they do. That’s near dictatorial power over a population.

Learning about the past is always learning about the present. You discover how many facets of human life can be different than they are now, and how everything in our world became what it is. Otherwise you only see a snapshot instead of the movie, and so everything has less meaning.

What most people need more than therapy and medication is money. So much mental distress is caused just from being squeezed financially by capitalism.

Capitalist society would fall apart if people couldn’t be angry at an imagined group of freeloaders to feel morally righteous about their supposed work ethic instead of being pissed that they’re coerced into selling their labor under threat of death from exposure to the elements.

Please help Dounia and her family in Gaza to survive under unbelievably difficult circumstances and start to rebuild their lives! Read her words, donate what you can and share the link. Everything helps! 🇵🇸 chuffed.org/project/1544...
Dounia in GazaDounia’s daughter SalmaMy name is Donia Tanani.
A mother, a dreamer, a survivor amid the genocide in Gaza until this moment (I don't know, maybe will be the next victim of an Israeli missile).
As you know, I have endured unbelievable hardships for more than 2 years. My family and I have been evacuated more than 10 times, and we are still living in Gaza, where life has become tough. Despite the destruction and the relentless bloodshed, I am determined to rebuild my life and achieve my dreams like any normal human being who has the right to live as a human being.
My husband Ahmed, our daughter Salma, and I live under harsh living conditions that are almost unbearable or even beyond the capacity of the human mind to bear, including bombing, displacement, famine, high prices, and all kinds of psychological torture that almost strip us of our humanity. With the lack of all possible means to provide the necessary income to support our daughter and provide her with basic needs at this young age, we have resorted to creating a campaign again (to be honest, everything we provide is spent because the current situation is challenging).I want to heal from the trauma l've experienced and take back control of my life. Now that the war is nearing its end, there is hope that the Rafah border crossing may open soon. For families like mine, this could be our only chance to leave Gaza and rebuild our lives in safety. But traveling out of Gaza is extremely expensive — from exit fees and visas to transportation and resettlement costs. We have lost everything in the war, and without financial help, we cannot take this opportunity.
Your support could be the difference between remaining trapped in crisis and finally starting a new life in peace.
Every contribution will go directly toward covering my evacuation expenses and helping me start a new chapter. Your support can help me rise above these challenges and turn my dream into a reality.
Every expense depends on reaching this goal.
Your support will help me achieve my dream and cover these essential costs. Every contribution makes a difference and means the world to me!
<THANK YOU FOR YOUR SOLIDARITY AND LOVE>
Donia Tanani..

If you can send me anything I’d really appreciate it. I hope to be able to stop asking soon, I just don’t know how else I’ll ever be able to get out of this situation—I can’t find real work, can’t move to a city where I might have better luck, have no vehicle, and owe more money than I knew existed.

Our excuses and apologetics won’t survive long into the future, but our prisons will, our hostile architecture, our plastics pollution will. The fossil record will show our abuse of nature quite clearly, and there will be none of us left to object, “But you don’t understand…!”

The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary is a legendary zoophyte (an obsolete term for an animal-plant hybrid) believed to grow sheep as fruit, attached by an umbilical cord. It’s thought the legend came out of ignorance of the cotton plant (Gossypium), unknown in Northern Europe until around the 12th century.

The AMOC has reliably transported heat from the equator to the North Atlantic for the past 12,000 years, and sporadically for a lot longer than that. It’s the reason Europe is warmer than its latitude would suggest.

Mysterious 'cold blob' in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening
A patch of ocean south-east of Greenland is the only place on Earth that is cooling, and it could be a sign that the warm water "conveyor belt" in the Atlantic is slowing down

It’s okay to not be okay! There’s no shame in being mentally ill as long as it doesn’t cause you to miss work, lose productivity or act a little weird at any time.
