help me cover an unexpected gap in fixed income

so tl;dr, my last student loan payment was at the start of June. i’m too sick to continue with tertiary education, so there won’t be any more. my next regular, non-deducted UC payment (welfare benefits) is at the end of July.

this is a serious problem.

i’m disabled, long-term unemployable due to that, and estranged from birth family. my only regular income is from state benefits.

rent is covered, B”H, so i’m looking to raise £1200 to cover me for July, plus extra margin just in case.

£0/£1200

if you can’t afford to donate, please boost! thank you 💙

Obviously irish people can be crazy racist too but it's kind of grating every time northern irish loyalists do something heinously evil and then the finger somehow gets pointed at republicans in such a way that prevents understanding or action against either irish OR british fascism while the actual culprits continue to completely get off without any mass condemnation. the ballymena riots are sickening but listen to me, everyone, the people you're wanting to fight with regards to irish fascism are Not the ones waving union flags and screaming no surrender, I think that many of you are only pretending to know about the north of ireland,

And frankly I think another broader issue here is that people are increasingly unwilling to view loyalists as colonists, ime due to some idea of upholding "peace" by avoiding saying anything which could be construed as mild irritant to anyone, which kind of prevents any meaningful analysis of most things that happen in the north of ireland. I'm sure the uda is immensely grateful that so many people consider any criticism of them to be actually support of paramilitarism but everyone get meaner to loyalists NOW

on the 8th of may 1945 nazi germany capitulated and metropolitan france celebrated the end of fascism, the french settler-colonial authorities started a two month long period of massacres against indigenous algerians for daring to protest the colonial regime in favour of independence. known as the sétif, guelma, kherrata massacres, during that time french colonial forces and police, as well as white french settlers, bombed, shot and lynched thousands of algerian muslims and buried them in mass graves. many of them were then dug up and burned. today france claims up to 1000 algerian victims and 200 french ones in "retaliation". it's far more likely to be thousands more victims, some of whom were anticolonial activists but many more were uninvolved civilians who were massacred by settlers with the encouragement and involvement of french military and police. after this, near all algerian nationalist and anticolonial organizations were disbanded and their leaders imprisoned. the army also forced many muslim algerians to kneel in front of the french flag and repeat "we are dogs and ferhat abbas (a proeminent algerian independence activist) is a dog". very few french socialists and communists, some of whom were actively in a coalition with de gaulle in the new government, expressed solidarity with the algerian people or condemned the massacres.

this was eighty years ago today.

the british army will go to your country and commit unconscionable acts of near-indiscriminate slaughter against civilians and children and peaceful political activists, they'll deny committing a single war crime, insist that the babies and grannies and teenaged boys they murdered were all terrorists, and then a few decades later after years of denial they'll just come out and admit to all of it. i'm starting to think it's actually part of the cruelty, part of britain's international terror campaign. "yes, we did do that to you, we'll do it again. then we'll lie and come clean again. and there's nothing you can do about it." no justice, no recourse, and the british army have followed this pattern a hundred times before. there's never consequences, at least not the kind that would prevent the continuation of this cycle. britain never loses its credibility on the international stage, the army never loses fresh cadets after something like this comes out. this past month there's been union jacks up everywhere because of ve day, and an air of heavy expectation that we should all be feeling a deep and uncritical sense of 'british pride'. garish fake poppy displays fucking everywhere, pipe bands and parades and raf plane formations. why do we celebrate these murderers? why are the sas spoken and written about as if they're heroes? when it's perfectly easy to find out what they've always been up to?

Seeing people unaware of the unique neuroses of northern irish loyalists comment on northern irish politics wrt palestine in the aftermath of the whole kneecap kill your mp drama has been really interesting to me like hello concerned liberal zionist, I promise you that that protestant demagogue/politician who is a member of a church that lowkey still identifies its members with 'the israelites' due to a conflict in france 500 years ago which no one else has ever heard of and believes in a presbyterian ethnostate where all languages but their dialect of ulster-scots are illegal tweeting "yeah kneecap sucks we should ban them" is not actually the person you want to consider a stalwart ally against antisemitism,

[serialcomposer]

Has the adoption of the whole language approach really been as detrimental on reading ability in the US as people are making it out to be?

European recipes make me feel like Walter white

American recipes: [3 page story about how their mamaw used to make this for them during the depression] so you’re gonna smack a stick of butter in there and then put a cup or two of flour until you feel like it’s dry enough. Be generous with the sugar. You’ll know when. Get a healthy amount of molasses and an egg in there and then mix up with your hands until it’s nice and crumbly. If you’re feeling fruity you can add vanilla extract here if you’re tough like they are where I come from cornmeal will do. Add water to taste and texture. If you’ve struck big it can be milk. Put in cast iron skillet blow it a kiss and bake until golden brown. Let cool until you get tired of smacking a bunch of little hands away from having a taste.

European recipe for essentially the same thing: You. Worm. Get out your little scale. You need 147 grams of flour. no more no less. 133 milliliters of fresh milk. 27 grams of white granulated sugar. If an extra granule ends up in the mixing bowl someone from Brussels will be by to administer the proper regulatory fee in 48 hours. Whisk together for 139 seconds exactly and titrate 3ml extrait de vanille into the bowl using an eye dropper before baking at 231 Celsius for 26 minutes. If you deviate from this in any way the food will be inedible and your fine will double.

Today I went to mass to see what the vibe was with thots on the new pope in my area and immediately regretted it when the priest in the midst of his homily alluded to if I'm reading this right knowing about the gaylor, um, community

"tumblr's the only social media without algorithms!" "you can still be anonymous on tumblr!" "tumblr's so nice because you don't have to show your face!" WRONG tumblr is special because you can have 3000 followers and still get an average of seven likes a post. i'm doing stand up comedy at a packed venue and one person is laughing

Classic American Western films all sound like that bc they copied the musical style of a balet written by a Jewish composer who wrote in a French neoclassical style.

Also this 20 year old israeli girl refused to take off her shoes in a Thai restaurant and she was recorded saying "my money built your country" and when she was called out she said "I finished my service in the idf and I mispoke" like people do not realize israelis are so ridiculously racist on the regular and Palestinians are the ones who have to deal with it 24/7 even in literally their own homes when soldiers raid them.
