Re: the Patreon fiasco...
Half joke: Well, I have been looking for something new to do with my web skills.
In seriousness: I think we got alot of coders in fandom (s) that can come up with another idea for Patreon-type recurring $$ structure. The big thing is that it always comes down to the payment processor. Even outside if my adult work exp... the cc companies are the challenge.
People who use Patreon are looking for alternatives. Sadly, Libera Pay's lack of pay exclusive content is the big thing Patreon users need. https://mastodon.rocks/@Liberapay/98890540440886249
Gotta keep lookin'
tw: heteronormative "traditions"
I really dont wanna shit where I eat, but I cant stand the heteronormative stuff that comes up in my workplace.
See, they sell wedding and party favors.... Well, some of those things are themed toward "gender reveal" parties and things like " Its a boy/girl!" favors.
This is something I hope I live long enough to see die off. Gender reveal is the first opportunity to instill binary gender in your soon-to-be family. Dont do it.
Hmmmm.... if true, this opens up possibilities. https://vulpine.club/@rachel/99114012939692855
UnAmerican thoughts
You wont be funding education programs and roads. You will be funding your selfishness. You spoiled brats are actually lower class than the drunkest wino that hurls insults at 3am.
Be gone from my prescense. I can be selfish too. My money for taking care of my needs, funding what I want to fund (as in, helping people that are in this shithole too). You dont get one red cent.

Why should I pay my taxes?
I have felt against the idea since Trump was elected. He is funding the wall of hate on the Mexican border and I wanted no part of that. Than PR and US territories in the Atlantic got wrecked by Maria. No relief or help.
Than last night... they further sold us out and finally get thier victory against ACA. They will gut it from the inside. All for the hate hard on for a black man.
For my sake, I have to go back to this list. More times in 2017 than I care to remember.. https://awoo.space/media/PCZi2i6RhKAFOl1gnPY https://awoo.space/media/d545IuBwPmkPoNxwXQs
deep unedited thoughts (borderline negative)
I cannot apply this to everything in Life but .... like it or not ... thoughtful silence is my survival.
For that matter. thoughtful silence keeps my words from adding to a big noise. Sometimes I get answers in the timeline that I would normally be opening up to others in.
Maybe the misanthropy makes sense when I really think about that.
Hey Mastodon, might I recommend a thing to you? There is a really great thing going on right now and it's called Desert Bus for Hope, they are playing the worst game ever to collect money for children in hospitals, so please visit #desertbus.org and check it out!

Im all about only refunding when it's a reasonable scenario. a "no refunds allowed" statement on a artist TOS would be a red flag for me.
me personally? Even if the original payment method (that was used for payment) was shut down, id still refund. https://awoo.space/media/TdVMGizXbIPXvbftUBk
