I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

Time sensitive ask: Could we come up with $150 to buy Donnie some dignity? The deadline had been extended to tomorrow. Post below if you are able to send anything. You send the money at Jpay and you find Donnie by entering Missouri in the search. His number is 514253.
There is a program here at this camp called Dynamo. Its for guys who have Life without parole and are never going home.

They have couches in the wing pet fish and single man cells and its for all guys who have been locked up 20+ years. They have incentives in the program like not having cops in their houses they get to go anywhere on the camp and get real clothes and also can wear them to their visits. They are doing a incentive for all the guys in the house to enable them to put in a order to a specific vendor for 150$ dollars in a outfit to wear at their visits and such.I have a friend named Donnie fuller and he is such an amazing guy. He is always helping people and he is teaching guys and he has such a huge heart for people who are on drugs and he does anything d everything to help them. He is an amazing artist and he has been teaching me so much stuff about painting and really just being patient with art. This guy made a mistake along time ago and it cost him his whole life to the prison system and he has dedicated his life in here to helping guys get out and not make the mistakes he made. He is my biggest role model.

I really want to help him get his special order of clothes because he has no one to send him any money like this. What I was wondering is if you could ask your tweeters to pitch in and make this a ty for him. He doesnt know Im ask or him and I just want to surprise him because how good of person he ishim, because how good of person he is. Their is a video on the internet about history of redemption and how his life truly changed.

Www.Jesuschriatstreetministry.com if you search his name on testimonies on there it will pop up a interview he did at Jefferson city correctional center.

If this is something they could help with just send it to his account the deadline for him putting the order in is 5th of September
