mutual aid/moneyreq type post, help needed quickly, 
hiiii hello i could very much do with some help here with topping up my electricity meter before it runs out and also just some money in general for anything that comes up, mostly xmas gifts right now!
ive had some fairly large chunks taken out of my already meagre monthly budget that werent expected and as a result im running pretty tight on everything and need the help a lot ;; im thinking like £80-£100 or something?? £50 for the elecricity meter and then the rest for xmas gifts and anything else that crops up that i need (usually food tbh)
anything you can/want to give is a big help thank you 💜

@geoholms that movie had no right to have so many generation defining bangers
Ugh I would love to run an Exalted Game. But to do it right I would have to carefully know the details and finer points of all the combat mechanic rules
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
That all said I do think how we culturally and governmental policy discuss the topic of disease prevention (masks, vaccination, the important step of washing your hands) has been largely a feast of ashes and regret
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
I might be wrong in my way of thinking but *shrugs* there it is in general.
Hopefully all have noticed the very self involved way I have spoken on this matter.
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
So for wearing a mask is an act to avoid other people getting ill with things I might be carrying. Even if it only decreases infecting others by 5% or 10% that seems worthwhile as wearing a mask is not an imposition for me in daily life.
To be faie I tend to treat vaccination the same way: a way to decrease others getting ill and becoming less of a vector.
I will admit as a furry a chance to wear silly animal faces is also fun.
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
My general opinion is I am not a virologist or expert (though I dabble due to interest I doubt I could be considered a hobbyist)
My very general view is that masks CAN work depending on type, time, place. However, my general view is also poor protection against getting ill (for one thing our eyes are lovely vectors for viral infection).
Rather it is a tool to avoid others getting ill. As in by wearing one I might be able to stop infecting other people.

I secured this year's luminarias. 144 of them to spread over six (6) houses
I am sure there are a ton of misconceptions as well and no idea how to dig into it but: which cons started the traditon? Who picked it up? Etc
We are raising as a community a huge amount of money for very worthy causes . How did that begin and where?
You know I think it qould be fascinating to dig deep into the history of fur con charitable giving. How it got started, the traditions, the choices

donation request, trans youth
Every year my husband, partners and I make stockings for the LGBTQ+ youth homeless shelter. Over the next week we're collecting donations to buy more gift cards for them. We will be collecting until December 14th.
We are trying to hit $1600 to add $40 for each of the 40 gift bags we're making.
If you are able, please donate here: https://www.paypal.me/orlvolunteer
We are also collecting items for the stockings. Here is the Amazon Wishlist: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/5V3VVACK3CG4
