I don't think any of us are ready for how high the death count will get. In 30 minutes, the genocidal army of Israel killed over 100 civilians. Imagine weeks of bombing

Dad's Medical Fund

In short, my dad has developed an infection in his blood and was getting treatment - today (2-1-24) he called me and said their giving him trouble after settling him in the facility they transferred to last night, that his insurance is supposedly no good to cover it.

I've started a fund to hopefully help this, as I don't want him to step away from potentially good treatment (as understandable as the stupidity is and wanting to walk away). The amount is just a ballpark until I get an update on what else is going on.

Any and all help is appreciated

Finally finished this fun collabo with my bud

@maty12wasalreadytaken! He showed me Story of My Life by Millencolin and it was very much up Taliesin's alley, so we figured it'd be fun to draw a jam session

Okay, I don’t make original posts often, but this has annoyed me. People miss the point of A Christmas Carol so often.

A nice person who happens to dislike Christmas is not a Scrooge. 

A person with more money than they would ever need, who underpays their workers and thinks of people as a statistic and blames people for their own poverty and has the idea that people are choosing to revel in poverty so they can get money from others without working, however… THAT is a Scrooge.

Scrooge in the beginning of the novella was rich, and hated the idea of Christmas because he found it to be an excuse for people to be payed a full day’s wage (out of his own pocket no less) for a day of no work

He refused to donate to charity, because he didn’t want to pay to make ‘idle people merry’. He had the idea in his head, like so many modern people do, that those too poor to celebrate simply weren’t working hard enough. He also said that if they refused to go to the workhouses that ‘if they had rather die, then they should better do it, and decrease the surplus population’

He thought of people as statistics, and it’s implied that he thinks that they are wilfully denying help and shelter for themselves because they want to live off of other people’s money.

While this attitude is eventually changed, it’s not until he sees Tiny Tim. He was fine knowing that people would perish as an indirect result of his actions because it would decrease the population (and get rid of poor people, but…)

When he sees Tiny Tim, he realises that if the boy was to die, that would be his fault. He hadn’t payed Bob Cratchit (Tim’s father and Scrooges clerk) a liveable wage. Not only Tim though, he seems to realise that he would be responsible for the deaths of many, since he refused to help just about everyone. 

That’s when he starts seeing more than statistics. That’s when he becomes a sympathetic character who is trying to be better. He realises that it is pointless to hoard wealth he’d never spend, and started giving to charities and paying Bob Cratchit more.

He became a charitable man and thoroughly changed his ways for the benefit of the many. 

Charles Dickens was a social critic, and I’m sorry to tell you that he wasn’t criticising the hatred of Christmas

Michael Bublé's "Santa Buddy" is gay cowardice

I petition for the gay community to write "Santa Daddy" and get it to the top of the charts with verses about inviting Krampus and Jack Frost over as third and fourth.
