can folks help me get indoors for a month? i have been living out of a car for months and i am falling apart.
i could manage with a time-limited scope, an end in sight.
but it is increasingly untenable to continue and maintain without something to work toward.
i need some stability, *indoors*.

For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

I've been thinking about this a lot because of all the talk about how Dolly Parton "didn't take sides" and I think she's proof that if you don't want to talk about politics you don't have to, but she took sides with her money & her actions and her side was pretty clear.
So is Sheeran's, I guess.

I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:
According to too many,
there is white and then there is political
there is male and then there is political
there is capitalism and then there is political
there is straight and then there is political
there is cis and then there is political
there is non-disabled and then there is political
