You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

habitat for humanity is GREAT and if you're an able-bodied person without much disposable income to donate i HIGHLY recommend donating your time to habitat! you'll learn some awesome, useful skills and have a lot of fun, and at the end you'll have built a whole house! can't recommend enough 😊

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots.

Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great.

So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Fascist Dem Tracker @fascistdemtracker.bsky.social · 4d

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

I started reading comics in the early 90s largely because of Gambit, and i dropped my x-men books after uncanny x-men 350, also because of Gambit. so mission accomplished i guess (i never really got back in to the x-books, although I did keep reading comics. just not marvel comics) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

David J Prokopetz @prokopetz.bsky.social · 7d

Marvel deciding to push Gambit as a headliner in the 90s, only to backtrack and start shitting all over him once they realised the audience the character had attracted was mostly women was sadly predictable, but the question I have is this: exactly what audience did they THINK they were cultivating?
