Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Week of Dec 21:
Progress: $350/$340
(Thank you again, folks, for helping out a couple of weeks ago with the bills we had to pay.)

dziś mogę oficjalnie powiedzieć, że odzyskałem w pełni wzrok. po wielu miesiącach męczarni, nareszcie WIDZĘ.
ogromny szacun dla całego personelu, pielęgniarek, asystentek i lekarzy z okulistyki w Wojewódzkim Szpitalu w Bielsku-Białej! profesjonalizm i troska, z jaką traktują tam pacjentów są po prostu wzorcowe!

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.
He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.
Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.
I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.
We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.
This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.
Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

The R Slur Must Never be Normalized
Last week Trump called Walz the 'R slur', and now his base is using it regularly. We must all speak out against this. It's a term that pushes a eugenicist agenda and feeds directly into fascism.Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)

Adamie, widziałam zwierzęta pełne Twoich imion,
połykały je i tonęły, upadały na czerwoną ziemię,
kiedy mówiłeś, potem jedliśmy ich mięso,
przytulałeś mnie (myślałam o nich),
czas się wymykał między naszymi ciałami
i znikał w pyle. Kości schły w ognisku.
Jesteś ode mnie silniejszy. Dzięki temu
nikt mnie nie zjadł, nic
mnie nie zjadło. byłabym mięso.
Jak było przedtem?
Coś się stanie, jak sobie nie przypomnę.
Coś złego.

In a world full of people who no longer trust each other, sometimes a small thing happens that just makes everything better.
A week or so ago I asked for German sci-fi books for my middle kid, who is struggling with his German grammar.
He's dyslexic and loves reading *my scifi books* in English, to the detriment of his German.
I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from @lk108 who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.
So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.
The box arrived today! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.
Anyway thanks @lk108 for the lovely offer, and I'm sure Theo will be delighted.
Please give this post a round of boosts because a nice thing happened and we don't hear enough about that.

Do you accept crypto?

in reply to Aaron • •In the USA now crypto are pretty much promoted, so there should not be many obstacles.
You need a wallet (Metamask is not bad) to receive and send crypto, like any other currency.
You can generate a link for donations via trocador.app and publish it. They only offer prepaid cards and selling options.
Not terribly efficient, but workable.

in reply to Aaron • • •We also habe another issue: Our car insurance has lapsed, and so has our vehicle registration. We need the vehicle in order to get the kids to school, since we are outside the bus routes, and in Texas, they impound your vehicle if you're caught driving without insurance. The registration being out makes it *way* more likely to be pulled over, so my wife is a nervous wreck (pardon the pun) every time she has to drive.
We need ~$300 total in order to get the insurance reinstated and cover the registration.
Right now we are subsisting on just enough money to eat and feed the dogs. Utility bills will be coming due soon, too, but they are less urgent right now.
Can anybody help us keep from falling deeper in the hole while I search for a job?

I have a job interview tomorrow at 10:30am. It would help a lot if I could afford something decent for breakfast tomorrow. $12 won't be enough to even afford dinner for the kids tonight.
If you wouldn't mind, please unboost/reboost the original post so this gets seen. I really appreciate it!

in reply to Aaron • •Essentially it is just your preference, whichever device you feel more comfortable with.
Once you have your wallet securely set up, you can just publish its address for people to start sending a specific crypto you chose as your base.
Next step is to create a multicurrency donation link via trocador, where you put your wallet address as the receiving address, but people can send many different currencies, being exchanged on the fly.
For spending the money, the crypto card seems to be the easiest way.

in reply to Aaron • • •@8petros I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea whatsoever what I'm doing. lol The user interface for trocador is really confusing and unintuitive. I finally figured out how to create an account and log in, at least.
Is it a bad idea to just share a public wallet link from MetaMask, and skip trocador altogether?
Aaron
in reply to 8Petros [$ rm -rv /capitalism/*] • • •@8petros Thanks. Sorry for spamming you.
I think I finally figured out trocador. Testing it out now:
