The blog of a Dreamer

Last week I had a bigoted asshole be absolutely racist and vile in my dms and since then I've been terrified of losing my 12+ yo blog, here is a link to my archive in case you all need proof I've been here for more than a decade.

Our last post so you can back track and learn more about our situation.

I can't avoid asking for help anymore, if it were just me I would just let myself due but our kids, my partner, our cats and my in-laws do not deserve to go hungry.

We have kids and elderly, we have 4 diabetics at home, the insulin went bad after a blackout and the replacement we got is not enough.

We need help affording groceries, bills and my meds.

Our eldest son is still suicidal with dysphoria and we missed his second appointment at the trans clinic due to lack of money. We want to get back on track.

My healthcare renewal is this january 20th or I will lose it and I can't lose it.

$50/$950

Today, just before dawn we got back home, Calli needs time to rest. They couldn't find why they were dizzy and nauseated, surprisingly the source of sickness wasn't their liver, gallbladder or the tumor. They need further tests that we've postponed for the lack of money.

For the time being they have to stay in dim lighted or dark rooms, they need medication we only got provided enough for 2 days.

I'm in a tight spot trying to care for everyone in the house, there is no way I can leave them to fend off for themselves while I go job hunting until Calli can stand without fainting.

This is shameful but we request any bit of support you can give us so we can at least afford food, pads, other necessities.

We did make the healthcare payment renewal, but because I was out making the payment I was not here to care for Calli. There is no avoiding it, we need phones for this kind of emergency.

Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that's billion with a "b"). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back. As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.

Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:

Fascism is already here. The chill has settled into our major institutions. If it hadn’t, our news networks would be REPORTING ON THE PROTESTS HAPPENING OUTSIDE THEIR VERY HEADQUARTERS. The world should know that the American public is organizing, not doing NOTHING, and we have a high wall of apathy and outright cultism to scale. Please, help us!

For takes on how this all is faring from a legal perspective (because I work in municipal law and because so much of the battleground is in the courts system right now):

These are just a handful that are keeping me sane, I’m sure there are many more. Please, throw in anyone else doing good coverage that you may see. Subscribe to them, give them views, like their posts, share them as much as you can because we are up against billionaires who do not want this message to spread. The GOP and MAGA cult are taking the position that these protests are not growing and that they’re made up of “domestic terrorists,” whom they are certain to jail for literally any little perceived slip up. We need your help. Keep yourselves informed, my fellow Americans. Do not let dirty, fucking filthy Nazi scum take us and global stability and democracy down with them. Do not make Putin’s cronies’ jobs any easier!
