Donate to Help a Single Mom and Baby Find Stability and Home, organized by Marie Booth

I am a newly single mother currently facing homelessness with my 8-mo… Marie Booth needs your support for Help a Single Mom and Baby Find

I am a newly single mother currently facing homelessness with my 8-month-old son. This has been an incredibly difficult chapter for us, and I am doing everything I can to rebuild our lives and create a safe, stable home for my child. I am determined to give my son the security and care he deserves. 

 

 The funds raised will help us get back on our feet in several crucial ways. Your support will go toward securing stable housing, so my son and I can have a place to call home. It will also help us obtain reliable transportation, which is essential for me to get to work, attend appointments, and arrange childcare. Additionally, donations will cover daily necessities for both of us, including diapers, wipes, clothing, food, and other essentials. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to stability and independence as I continue searching for work and building a better future for our family. 

 

 If you’re able to donate or even share our fundraiser, it would mean more to us than I can put into words. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps us move one step closer to stability and a fresh start. 

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting my son and me during this chapter of our lives. Your kindness and generosity truly make a difference.

I found this photo and blog post from 2013 by Alan Dryer

In this image I’ve tried to render the Milky Way in a view that simulates what you see with your unaided eyes. The result is a celestial portrait in subtle shades of black and white. This is a photo mosaic, but processed contrary to the usual methods – eliminating colour rather than enhancing it, and reducing contrast rather than boosting it. The result is a view that I think quite nicely matches what your eyes see, though certainly from a dark site.

I hope you get your favorite food this week and your favorite drink and your favorite 2k dollars

My first time operating CCTV cameras I was handed control over what was essentially 50 independently moving eyes that collectively covered an area about the size of a football field and from that experience I now know that

Suddenly having 50 moving eyes can make you disoriented and barfy and the adjustment period sucks ass

It takes both more and less time than you’d think to figure out what the structure as a whole looks like and where those eyes ARE

After you get used to it the entirety of the structure itself and all of the eyes you can see from feels like an extension of your nervous system in a very bizarre way. Like I have dreams now from the perspective of A Building and I’m not sure how to describe that.

Once you are aware of an unreachable blind spot it nags at you constantly and you can feel it like a hard little lump under your skin you need to poke and scratch at and it’s ardghgguychgghhbhhhbhhh

Humans (and several other primates) have remarkably flexible body maps and we have loads of studies on that but this is the first time I’ve considered that from the perspective of flexible sensory maps. I love these weird ass nervous systems we’ve got.

and to my only grandson, i bequeath the estate in aspen, under the strict stipulation that he dresses like a girl for a year. if he fails, then it shall be given to his evil cousin, whose name i never did catch

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.

me, unloading a fitted sheet from the dryer: *squinting* what's that you've got in your mouth

fitted sheet: nothing :)))))))

me, prying open its twisted jaws: na-ah!!! give it to me RIGHT now!!

fitted sheet: *resentfully spits out a wad of 3 very damp dishtowels, a pillowcase, and a pathetically sodden washcloth*

*blowing out my little bedside tealight, putting away my phone, and drifting off to sleep with one last dozzy thought of gratitude to blue light screen filters, only to jolt awake because wait shit did humans evolve that way because of candles???

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

pre-electric light sources (candles, oil lamps, fire) tend to warm/yellow tones—and have been used in one form or another for all of human existence. use of fire pre-dates humans; our hominid ancestors were using it for light and heat as early as 2 million years ago.

for a long, long time, yellow light (the open fire, the communal hearth, the candlelight, the burning lamp) has been an indicator that hey sweetheart, it's almost bedtime

and as for blue light, well. they called that daylight (and sometimes: dawn)
