*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST**
Wednesday, September 1st: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, and I've had to remake this post as my cooker broke at the weekend, and I'm still struggling to get a new one.
As most of you are already aware from my previous post, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefit (Universal Credit) being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as my application for Disability (PIP) was declined and I am currently awaiting for an appointment for a WCA (Work Capability Asessment) from the DWP to assess my mental and physical health, and my debt from overdue bills is piling up to an amount that I'm really struggling with, so affording a new appliance isn't going to be easy.
I know this is a huge ask, and I'm completely heartbroken to be asking for aid again, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to help, and I'm in serious need to be able to replace my broken cooker ASAP. And due to having to use some money to pay my overdue rent/utilities, I'm still struggling to reach my goal which is now at £365!!
If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
Poska literally just succumbed to the Charm Person spell of a 2nd level druid and they think they’re strong enough to “exploit some weakness” of Shaun Motherf*cking Gilmore???
I hope that the Nameless Ones get a clue that any significant attack committed on Gilmore would have dire consequences for their fate
Sorry, but the hilarity of Poska threatening Shaun “fought the Chroma Conclave and lived” “annihilated the Rakshasa’s assassins” “developed and sustained a magical barrier protecting an entire city from the Chroma Conclave for months” “survived Vecna” “beloved friend of Vox Machina” Gilmore cannot be overstated.
I have a lot of respect for both DMs. But, ngl I get salty when Matt denies a nat 20 depending on the type of check/save. Whereas Brennan goes above and beyond to reward nat 20s (which makes sense for short episodic campaigns that thrive on big swings) with the understanding that nat 1 will be just as devastating.
i've been listening to critical role and so far the main difference between that and d20 is that on a nat 20 matt will be like you succeed :) with some extra flavor whereas brennan will drop to his knees and slit his own throat if the player asked
i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much
Hi all!
My friend is Ojibwe and a dedicated Indigenous researcher and activist. She recently has discovered a number of Ojibwe ponies (also known as the Lac La Croix pony) for sale by a white-owned farm.
This is really important because these ponies are very important to the Ojibwe – these ponies are also the only known Indigenous-developed breed of horse in Canada, and there are only 200 left in the world.

The fact that there are 200 left at all is incredible at all, because in 1977, Canada took the last known four ponies away to be destroyed, and they were rescued by an Ojibwe man living in Minnesota.
Read more about the history here.
My friend is arranging to have five of these horses brought back home to the Ojibwe, and her elders are already planning a welcome ceremony for these horses. If anyone has anything to spare, it would be a huge help to bring them home.
Donate here!
Alternately, you can get the horses a gift from their wishlist!
