My friend was preparing for shooting the lunar eclipse when a plane came by

Can’t wait to not sleep at all on September 11th

On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."

As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.

As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.

May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.

how supernaturally dense do you have to be to see a bunch of predominantly white people cracking wise about shit like "george droyd" and "rosa sparks" and come to the conclusion that anyone who takes umbrage with this is an idiot baby who thinks robots are real have feelings. dead serious I think most of you would fall hook line and sinker for the frenworld bullshit

God, okay, I really can't take commissions right now, but I need about $400 to make up rent right now.

Can you consider donating to me?

Rent's been really rough right now but I'm about to get a pay raise and I'm applying for a promotion. Just right now I need to get through this month and I would like to not drain what little savings I have, if I don't have to.

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).

When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".

When the boat is still being built, your say "it".

When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".

When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".

When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.

If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").

If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")

If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").

If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.

If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.

I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.

“go early, it’s hard to find parking” you want public transit. “don’t go on weekends, traffic is terrible” you want public transit. “once i parked i had to walk half a mile to the entrance” you want public transit. “it took me an hour to get out of the area after the concert” you want public transit. “ugh somebody needs to DD” you want public transit. “can you drive? my car won’t start” you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit.

Guys I opened my phone and this was there. what do I do

We are approaching the 2 year mark of the accelerated genocide and everything feels so preformative at this point. For instance, I ate in a diner with a group of friends. A person brought up Palestine because there was a TV across from us. It was showing us the news; the latest update on Ghazzah. 'Israel launched multiple airstrikes. Number of people had been killed'.

This person and I started to having a conversation about it. I began to go into the details since they are not aware about how catastrophic it was, but then another person had the gall to cut us off. We changed the subject. It was about Ukraine. And it was like I don't mind talking about Ukraine, but could we finish the conversation about Palestine first? Especially since they didn't know about the horror and terror Palestinians would go through every day.

This is why it is important to keep talking about Palestine! Boycott, donate, and protest! We need a permanent ceasefire ASAP! In the meantime, please consider helping my dear friend, Suad. She is a computer engineer who has given birth to a baby boy named Khaled last summer! He is a year old, learning how to walk and talk, but he suffers from allergies, along with intestinal and respiratory infections! She is also caring for her in-laws. Her mother-in-law needs knee replacement surgeries!

GFM has also terminated her fundraiser! If you have donated to her before, kindly request a refund and redirect to the one below! Chuffed is Pro Palestinian, and you can give as little as a dollar!
