Damn I forgot about that bit. Gotta re-read it soon. Thank you.

Idk, with how much weight I've gained this year it might be entryism lmao.

Wait I don't think I understand why Fanon is relevant

I was referring to Liv Agar as the kapo in my post. Now, thinking about it, the kapo comparison was tasteless in many ways, though. Thanks for drawing attention to one of them. I'll leave my post up, but I want to make clear that I am not blaming Robinson's girlfriend for doing the best she can in the situation she is. I will still criticize Agar and Co. for suggesting trans women be "model citizens" and throw everyone else under the bus in the name of 'the message' as a valid strategy to save themselves. It reeks of opportunism.

And if it lets them be a bit antisemitic as a treat? Even better.

But he’ll probably just end up storing more from his harvest this year and ride it out.

Then your buddy is better prepared than like 90% of farmers, who hsve overleveraged the hell out of their holdings and have debts they counted on selling this year's harvest to service. The (immediate) problem isn't so much that farmers have a glut of product to sell, it's that the farming sector, like almost every other productive sector in the global north is finsncialized to hell and back, getting strapped to the global financial system like a suicide vest that starves you to death instead of blowing you up.

Hell, even if you don't have large operational debt, the capacity for storage you need to ride out these kinds of things requires large capital investments: money most farmers don't have at hand, and get loans for. I'm sure it was a genius move to plug the food system to part of the economy that's been the cause the past 3 or 4 times there was a recession. No problems there.

She followed it up with "I'm not ironic at all this needs to be the message". I'm too autistic to figure out if this is doubling down on the irony or actually sincere.

I'm sure Kapos were worried about "the messaging" while throwing other jews under the bus. Wtf.

Me too, for sure. It was just bizarre that a discussion like that turned into what it became.

That's just plain bad taste. I was in a plurality of intersections of the communities it pandered to, and I thought it was shit, even as a stupid kid.

The rock stacking discourse was every bit as bizarre, too.

 

I got a "thank you for subscribing to American Prestige" in my feed and no new episodes. Anyone have another feed? ty

 

So yeah, after like 3 months of tests, including an IQ test for some reason, today I was given the "good news" that I'm not making it up, I actually have ADHD, and my struggles are valid in the eyes of the medical establishment.

I asked the doctor if they had seen something related to autism, and they said yes, so next week I'll know if they're moving forward with tests for that, too.

Yay? I don't feel much, other than relief that it's over. I'll have some fast food to celebrate and take a nap.

 

Tag yourself I want to be Sun Ra but I'm more of a Chet.

 

Again, thank you all so much for the help i've received so far. It's the first time I ask for help in the mutual aid comm, and everyone has been wonderful.

I spoke to the landlord about the three months rent I owe, and they are insisting on getting at least one month's rent before the end of the month to be satisfied. I'm planning on giving them as much as i've been able to receive this month, but i don't think it's going to be the full amount. Still waiting to get started on the job i'm supposed to start at the end of the month, so not many updates on that front.

If any of y'all can help, even a little, it will go towards showing my landlord i'm really trying to get the money to be square with them.

As on my previous posts, I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

Thank you for reading, and have a lovely sunday!

 

First, infinite thanks to the comrades who have contributed. You have no idea how at least having that bit of money set aside helped me motivate to not rot in executive dysfunction. You're all wonderful. penguin-love

Some good news, for a change! Found a job that should tide me over for a few months while I put things in order a bit. The job should start at the end of January, and pays monthly. But at least i'll be busy and getting money!

If anyone can chip in with whichever amount you can, you'd be providing precious help. Thank you in advance, and have a lovely weekend!

EDIT: i'm a dumbass, i didn't put the details to send the money. I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

 

My deepest thanks to whomever contributed, and to everyone reading. You have my gratitude!

I'm reposting my old post, because I still need your help with one month of rent for this month, any little bit will help me so much:

I've been using this handle since just about when the subreddit got nuked, and while I'm not a super prolific poster, some of you might know me for my posts on food history and philosophy.

some context to my situation, and a bit of my storyI have been incredibly lucky to have been able to do only food scholarship for a living recently after more than a decade working random jobs, which is awesome for me, since I'm super passionate about it, and I love the work.

However, I don't have a stable position, and I mostly do small writing work here and there, or work for small grants with universities, so my whole income situation is pretty precarious.

Last year was specially rough, some work fell through, I never got paid for work i spent 9 months doing (still fighting the people responsible for that), and started a new job that looked promising but eventually fell through, all the while struggling with very strong autistic burnout and depression, which almost sent me to the psych hospital several times.

A pretty bad year, income, physical and mental-health wise has led to me being three months late on rent. Things were pretty bad already, but I thought i could manage until my family back home (I'm an immigrant from the Global South) asked me for urgent help with money. I gathered whatever little money i had left and sent a remittance immediately. This, of course, left me with no money to even pay one month's rent.

Conveniently, the landlord has let me know that unless i pay at least one month's rent ASAP, i'm out on the streets. I am currently looking for any job that can tide me over while i get back on track, but things are kind of sedate in retail and other jobs around my area because of the new year. Some of my community around me have helped with groceries, but none of them could help me with the cash i need to keep a roof over my head, so i'm turning to you hexbears.

The place i live in is what keeps my fragile mental health still going, and I honestly don't know what I would do without it. If you can spare anything at all, I would appreciate it so much.

So, a very talented friend of mine is having an exhibition of her art at a small town close to where I live. Its a 30 minute drive, but 2 hours on public transport, with 2 buses, one train, and a long walk under the summer sun on the way. Whatever, I'll sleep/read on the way, right?

so I show up at the bus station 10 minutes before the bus takes off, the bus arrives, and the driver gets off and turns off the bus. I think he's just going to the bathroom, to take a break, smoke a cigarette, whatever. Nope. He never returns.

I've now been standing at the bus station for an hour after the scheduled departure time, staring at the switched off bus, and fuming about how I have just lost 20 bucks because I missed all the other buses and trai (i had to buy the tickets beforehand), how now I can't get to the exhibition without being late for work, how I will have let down my friend by not showing up and supporting her, and how this wouldn't have happened if I just had a fucking car and wasn't a depressed mess who can't find energy to do anything until the very last moment, letting down everyone around me.

I don't normally get angry, but this whole thing has made me very upset.
