Pork: Be Inspired

They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:

Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.

Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.

Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.

Here's what I said:

“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”

Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

My thyroid medication the thing that keeps me processing insulin, sugar, food, whatever costs 40$

The rest of my medications run in the tens of cents to a dollar and change each including my insomnia medication I need to sleep. Migraine medication I need to function

Plus otc pain meds

So yeah I do have to pay to breathe and eat and sleep and move just like a dystopia book isn’t it great ????

It's a win for habitat restoration. It's a win for marine life. It's a win for all of the people who helped make it happen.

It's a fucking win and it makes me happier than words can describe.

Happy Ides of March, folks!

This past week has been one of the worst in my life. A house fire started while I was asleep, and in the chaos, six cats were lost. It was a miracle I woke up in time to escape, but the trauma of this event keeps me up at night. In the time since, my abusive family has treated me like an emotionless maid. I'm currently expected to clean a hoarder's house with maggots and mice while I and my dog Trucy suffer. I am also an asthmatic and need emergency dental surgery, meaning every moment I spend in this current living situation is a genuine danger to my survival. Not a single person in my area has given me the space needed to recover.

My boyfriend has set up this GoFundMe since I can hardly handle thinking about things right now given my situation. We did the math together, and to get enough necessities to help him back on his feet, we will need $5,000. This will cover:

- travel

- groceries

- pet supplies

- electronic repair / replacements

- ID replacement

- clothes / new shoes / self care items as a whole

Once I move to live with my boyfriend & his family, we'll open a bank account under my name so all the money can go to me. Any extra donations past the goal will go towards dental surgery in case applying for Medicaid takes too long. Every donation, no matter what amount, means the world -- more than you can ever know.
