My friends, I'm asking for help and appealing to you, but the response is very slow. I need to buy medicine for my son. Please help me; you are my only hope. My son Ali coughs frequently and has a high fever. I hope you will stand by me so I can buy medicine for my child Ali.

Bean just walked into the bathroom while I was peeing and sat beside me and started purring. Lol
So I'm like, "Oh I guess you want some mama Rayne time?"
So I go to sit on the couch and call her over, so she just looks at me and then loafs in the opposite direction
They seem to have a way with names, the Aussies. This is the bark of the scribbly bark tree, which is found in the coastal areas of New South Wales. The brown marks are caused by the larvae of the scribbly bark moth, which live between the outer bark and the inner. When the trees shed their outer bark, the scribbles are revealed - new ones every year.

in reply to Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing • • •I think readers and people generally may have a very difficult time with the proposition, something that I regard as practically self-evident from the current state of #technology and the things that get vaunted and marketed the most in the tech sector, that technology executives and elite #SoftwareDevelopment have business aims that are explicitly hostile to their own userbase. But I think it's true.
The leadership and prime movers of tech firms and #software corporations are almost openly* contemptuous of the average person, and that contempt informs their extreme right-wing politics. These people are authoritarians and they all believe they're specially gifted geniuses, the people who really matter, the winners of the genetic lottery. The rest of us are supposed to shut up and be grateful for their grifts. I mean, their gifts.

in reply to Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing • • •The #technology kings do not mean well. They must for the sake of maintaining a friendly public façade go on pretending that they mean well, of course. They must continue to pose as champions of humanity, fighting to change the world for the better, empowering each and every person with some share of the magical abilities of high tech, which they assert is always whizzing upwards in capability and quality, getting better and better all the time. They still talk in superlatives. They still pretend that their technology is somehow a democratizing force.
How much do you think any of those people actually believe in that gas? Marc Andreessen and Elon Musk and Sam Altman and Peter Thiel and the rest of them are already used to leading double lives. They love publicity, but they loathe public scrutiny, laugh gleefully at the murder of journalists (e.g. by the #IDF) and their only real society is with each other and with their political allies. The "techno-optimism" is wearing extremely thin.
