uh guys we've been unable to pay for utilities this month so our power is getting shut off and our wifi is already gone. i had to make this post with the little mobile data i have left. uhm. bye ??
i hate asking for money but i can't start this second semester without any power :( and i know i already asked for money for vet fees but i really dont wanna have to spend the vet money on utilities since i care more about my cat than myself so uhm. i'll keep saving up and counting pennies to get him his treatment even if i have to live in the dark
you don't have to donate, but it'd help. i depend on welfare money that instantly goes into other bills and college tuition and my bedrotter neet mom has been jobless for a year and a half now.
all i really have for now is a phone, college wifi, and library computers so i can manage for now !! it'd be nice to have this dealt with asap holy shit 😭😭😭 okay bye until our power and wifi gets paid i guess?? 😭😭 idk how we're gonna cook

I'm not mad that some folks are having their ACAB awakening because of Renee Good.
If the murder of a nice queer white lady from Minneapolis is what convinces more people that ACAB because they are a boot of the state, great. Welcome, newbie.
But understand this: get up to speed quickly.
ICE/feds and cops are under the same problematic State Hammer umbrella. They have ALL been used against liberation movements and the people who live on the margins of hegemony.
And now, for this political moment, that hammer is going to begin coming down on white folks who decide to ally themselves with their neighbors vs the State.
So let's be clear:
Our struggle might be shared but they are not the same. Newbies need to learn that distinction.
US President Donald Trump’s abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3 has emboldened him to proceed with the annexation of Greenland, a Danish-owned, self-governed territory, spelling the effective end of NATO and furthering Russia’s war aims in Ukraine, experts tell Al Jazeera. ...
They could've taken over Venezuela and said it's about democracy. The media was poised to make that the story. Europe slid in with "well, he is a dictator...". They even had a Nobel peace prize recipient ready to jump in and take over. Hell, half the people on here were willing to go along with it. But for MAGA, doing evil isn't enough anymore, you have to rub it in, you have to gloat about it, you have to be mean. Giving Israel weapons isn't enough, you have to publicly tell them to kill everyone. It's not enough to twist other nations' arms in trade deals, you have to literally extort them. It's not enough to round up and deport brown people, you need to have camps and cages and then film it and put it on TV, and laugh at them. It's not enough to ignore protesters, or have them suicided, you have to murder them, and do so openly and proudly.
Dumping NATO, to Stephen Miller, is not a sacrifice but an unshackling. Now they don't even need to pretend anything they do is for some greater good, even if they weren't too crass and stupid to pull it off. They believe they're in the endgame, and they're just taking what they want.
Nigel Farage’s politics are a combination of British nationalism plus whatever the Yanks believe in. As a result, Farage will often come out with stuff that sounds bizarre to English ears — such as scrapping the NHS. The latest example of this is Farage speaking out against the Covid vaccinations: ...

up to the fact that the
US government can
literally murder you in
the street on live TV
and then call you a
terrorist and walk

of course, have
known this all along.
A federal grand jury indicted the leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in Oklahoma City over allegations that millions of dollars in grant funds were improperly spent on international trips, groceries and personal real estate, prosecutors announced Thursday.
Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, was indicted earlier this month on 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering
An excellent article from Dr. Scott Maclean, assistant clinical professor in the UofA Department of Emergency Medicine and practicing emergency department physician, Dr. Elaine Hyshka, associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Health Systems Innovation at the UofA’s School of Public Health, and Dr. Kathryn Dong, associate professor with the UofA’s Department of Emergency Medicine and an addiction medicine physician.
Edmonton leads the world in frostbite cases, not because our weather is special in any way, but because of our poor healthcare response and the way we (mis)treat our unhoused population.
40% of all frostbite cases in Edmonton and Calgary were due to homelessness, the first spikes occurring in milder temperatures (warmer than -20°C when cold weather response is not activated in Edmonton), and the second spike occurring in deep cold (colder than -35°C), corresponding to police encampment raids and the growth of people living unsheltered or in temporary shelters.
During the coldest months in winter, the Edmonton Police Service priority has been to confiscate tents, clothing, and other supplies needed for human survival, because unhoused (primarily Indigenous) people aren't allowed to own things. If you need to use a homeless shelter then you're allowed to own even less.
Our emergency response isn't funded to support a vulnerable population, not activating until we have -20°C windchill for 3 days (compare that to Vancouver which activates at 0°C). This is absolutely inadequate for people who cannot get in out of the cold whenever they want and can't afford expedition-level clothing, EVEN IF they were allowed to keep it.
Over 150 people were admitted last winter for immediate treatment of severe frostbite, which could involve surgery 6 months later for those who require amputations. If an unhoused person undergoes a permanently disabling amputation, it makes it so much harder for them to get off the street and find housing.
As a childhood frostbite survivor myself, I'll also note that getting frostbite makes you much more susceptible to it in the future. You will always be more sensitive to frostbite, and require greater care.
Edmonton's approach to the needs of unhoused residents is absolutely cruel and callous, and is driven by divisive politics, fear-mongering, and hate-mongering which we saw so much of during this recent municipal election, where a million-dollar developer-funded political party was campaigning in Edmonton suburbs on "cracking down" on downtown, which is code for removing Indigenous and unhoused populations whom they have painted as the cause of crime and the hindrance to "safe streets" and "open community".
And of course the one (remaining) member of said party who got elected (one lost the election after misplaced votes were found on recount, the other has since left party affiliation), was a former President of the Edmonton Police Union, who vehemently fought against community-based protests and efforts towards anti-racism (including #BLM) and police accountability, claiming to have been the "victim" of these "heinous" movements, for which he targeted journalists and city council (of which he is now a member of). Thankfully he is only one voice on council, but he represents all the hateful elements which this city needs to recover from.
We pride ourselves on being a "winter city", yet there is so much hate and animosity towards any who use the outdoors for basic needs, from living outdoors in homelessness, to commuting outdoors through active transportation. We will never be a real winter city unless we support people to get out of their heated homes and automobiles for more than just "quick recreation".

Guess I never posted or pinned an #introduction if I had one. I've been on Mastodon for a bit now, since 2019 if my profile is to be believed. I'm really bad at social media in general but am a fan of the vibes and federation of Mastodon and other AP offerings.

She threatens to kill and destroy anything i love. She threatens my pets until i'm so scared to keep them around that i give them away, she controls my life by ordering me to show her my bank account balance and if the amount isn't to her liking, she punishes me, she constantly belittles me, is an alchoholic gambler constantly begging me to buy her alchohol with the little Money i have, and i can't even save up money to move out because i'm paying for college out of pocket.

she has systematically isolated me from my neighbors by saying i'm extremely mentally disabled and unwell, saying she's an angel who will deal with me as a martyr or some shit. she does this shit on purpose. she hides what she does behind closed doors. she's a fucking maniac. she's sick.
please help me. i need to save up. for something. anything. my paypal is https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/evilbenny (@evilbenny) i just want to get away, even if the donations i get only end up being good for a month's stay in the shittiest apartment ever. i also have ko-fi ( ko-fi.com/lopstee)
she literally threatens to kill me. she's threatened to kill my cat. my 3 month old kitten i only got yesterday [as of september 24th, 2025] and if she does something to him i'll actually end it. i'm so serious. it's been 19 fucking years of this mental torture. at some point i even convinced myself it was all my fault and that maybe i was just really sick in the head. i hate her so much. help me. once again. my paypal is https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/evilbenny
If you like how my site's ( https://lopster.neocities.org/ ) designed, i have commissions open. (https://ko-fi.com/lopstee/commissions) I can make you one. PLEASE. My mom set a deadline for december and if she checks my bank account by then and is not satisfied with the number, she'll do something heinious. i don't even know what. god.
Okay, I'm occasionally dipping into the senate coverage today, and it's worth it to see Cory Booker chew this scenery even while exhausted. Booker is now on hour 20 or something of this "non-filibuster."
a) We just heard Senator Hirono from Hawaii say, "wtf comes to mind!" Priceless.
b) Today I learned that Cory Booker has a "favorite federalist paper." What a lovely nerd. #TIL#USPol#USPolitics#CoryBooker
Today I learned about Kalief Browder, a Black kid from The Bronx who was imprisoned for 3 years, mostly in solitary, for allegedly stealing a backpack. THREE YEARS waiting for a trial before the city dismissed the case due to lack of evidence and loss of prosecution's sole witness.
Kalief Browder committed suicide after his release, during the ensuing court case against the city. His mother also died of cardiac complications during the lawsuit.💔
