Everything's still a mess here. I'm by no means the person most in need in the world but if you can help, we have overdue bills and i'm scared about rent at the end of the month. I have solid hours this month but won't get paid for them until Feb 12th and EVERYTHING is behind at this point. https://paypal.me/utilitarienne

Update: it wasn't just the port, it wasn't repairable, fortunately they also had refurb phones for sale and we were able to get something reasonably cost-friendly, although jesus fucking christ i would like one week without unexpected expenses.

Folks, one of my oldest and dearest friends needs help so he doesn't lose everything he owns. He's got a GFM if you can help at all; he needs $520 by the 20th. https://www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-help-needed-to-save-belongings

on the one hand, my heart aches for everyone affected by the LA fires.
on the other hand, if you're in CA and voted against outlawing slave firefighting labor last November, i hope your house, specifically, burns down with everything in it.

Yet again, i've got a check that's coming but not until the 12th, and we have to pay car insurance and get our med refills. We need about $350 USD to do both those things, if anyone can help. I'm so tired of asking for help, i'm sorry. https://paypal.me/utilitarienne

fyi, everyone: if LB follows her usual pattern, there'll be a new account soon where she continues laundering her reputation. It may be under her actual name, or it may be under an alias. As ever, if you see a dubious account that you suspect of being either LB or a confederate, please DO NOT accuse that account publicly; that's how everyone ends up paranoid and running around badjacketing everyone. It's EXTREMELY destructive to the community, AND it ends up giving her cover. Just give me a quiet heads-up and i can put the OSINT team on it.

Like, it's not JUST tooth decay, although that is a big enough deal; ALL-CAUSE CHILD MORTALITY goes down in places with fluoridated water! Because S. mutans infections DO NOT ALWAYS STAY IN YOUR TEETH!

(Yes, overdoses of fluoride are a health risk, including if a water treatment plant goes haywire and it's not detected for weeks or months. But that is a pretty minor risk, and VASTLY less risky overall than the danger of children getting deadly respiratory and/or cardiac infections and being chronically undernourished!)

I am not kidding when i say that fluoridated water is up there with vaccines as one of the most important public health interventions developed in the 20th century.
People don't think of dental caries as a serious health risk, but tooth decay can cause deadly infections and raises the risk of stroke and heart attack, including in children. Tooth decay is also a MAJOR contributor to chronic malnutrition in both children and low-income adults.
And the thing is, it is a public health intervention that benefits the poor and marginalized disproportionately! (People living in poverty are the least likely to be able to regularly brush their teeth, among other things.) Which means it's DEFINITELY on the fucking chopping block for EVERYONE.
