Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
Miigwech (thank you) everyone. Working hard to at least get caught up and still coming up short, every little bit helps.
Latest update, really upset, everything keeps going wrong and it’s so hard to catch up, and now the electric / gas bill is higher than normal and close to being late. So thankful for the help I have received and continue to receive, miigwech ❤
UPDATED AND REPOSTED BECAUSE THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED. ORIGINAL POST DELETED BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER ACCURATE AND I DONT WANT IT CIRCULATING ANYMORE. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO BOOSTED IT AND DONATED. ❤️
My name is Almond, I am non binary and use they/he pronouns. I was recently kicked out of my mother’s home in Redding, CA because she is under a lot of stress and doesn’t want me living with her. She deals with mental illness and has a difficult time not taking it out on me. Over the past year she has continually kicked me out, then begged me to come home using manipulative tactics like threatening to get rid of my dog (who is my emotional support animal), only to kick me out again. There have been times that I’ve left to go out with my friends and she’s texted me telling me that I left my bedroom messy and to never come home again. My dog was abandoned and I rescued her, so it causes extreme stress and trauma for her when my mother constantly separates her and I. I need a living situation where I don’t have to be scared leaving that I might not be allowed home again and where my dog and I will not have to be separated. I was also recently r*ped by someone who is widely known and loved in Redding and I am scared to out him when everyone loves him and will side with him. What he did to me has scared me and disgusted me to the point that I can’t eat or sleep and I don’t even want to go out in public because I’m scared I’ll run into him. My dog and I are currently staying with my grandmother who will be moving to Iowa on February 12th. When my grandmother leaves I am not sure where I will go. The goal is to find a room to rent in Chico with my best friend, J (who is living in an abusive household and needs to escape) but neither of us has the money. J has a job in Chico but is given very few hours and makes very little, so they are searching for a second job and trying to sell things of theirs. I am currently trying to sell my car, and any other items I have that are of worth. I am working hard to find a job in Chico and have a few leads, but until I am working the truth is that I have absolutely no money to sustain myself or my dog. I need this money to help J and I get an apartment and support myself and my pup until I am on my feet. I feel terrible asking for help from people, but I am in a really difficult situation and I am stuck. If you would like to donate or even give words of encouragement it is extremely appreciated. Once again I am so sorry, I would not be asking for help if I didn’t truly need it. Thank you❤️
Dad kept hiding pine nuts in the pages of this magazine and letting Edgar root around for them.
(Edgar cannot be released to the wild due to an injury. He now works as an ambassador bird and general household nuisance.)
Edgar has added to his vocalizations since I last saw him! He used to only say “oh wow” in a really sarcastic voice and to mimic the trill of a screech owl. Now he also screams “WHAT?!” and mumbles “what a WHOPPER!”
It was hysterically funny discussing politics with him in the room. We’d mention some new scandal and he’d randomly interject with cries of astonishment.
Please let Edgar know that I love him
Edgar has graced my dash twice today and I learned something new each time. I too love him.
I love everything about this, most of all the fact that you named him Edgar because it makes me think of Poe’s “The Raven” immediately
His full name is Edgar Allen Crow.
I don’t know if I added this video to this post but here are some of Edgar’s vocalizations:
Edgar isn’t a pet, he’s an educational “ambassador bird” who lives as a rehab center with licensed professionals due to a permanent foot injury that prevents him from being released to the wild.
That awkward moment when the guy dressed as Bigfoot and Actual Literal Bigfoot meet in the woods and have an awkward standoff because neither of them expected to see each other.
When Allison Blixt’s wife was pregnant with their first child, Blixt bought a sonogram so she could listen to their son’s heartbeat. Her name is on his birth certificate in England, where they live, and he calls her “Mommy.”
But when Blixt tried to register her son as an American citizen at the U.S. consulate, officials refused because he was not her blood relative, and her wife, who conceived the baby with donor sperm, is not a U.S. citizen.
On Monday, Blixt and a California man who has twin boys with his Israeli husband, filed a pair of federal lawsuits alleging that the U.S. government is discriminating against them and illegally denying birthright citizenship to some of their children born abroad.
I’ve known Allison for 20 years. I’m furious for her and her family.
