if you like my writing, this month is REALLY urgent, as I need to raise a TON of money to pay my tax bill, which the state is making me pay early because, I shit you not, I did my taxes. Apparently a change to the balance, like filing taxes/extensions is bad

paypal.me/stompsite would help a LOT
Pay Garrick Burford using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/stompsite and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"
Nothing made slavery’s toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. 129 With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers “learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter.” The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the “goodlooking” daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, “every private in the ranks” cursed “that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women,” according to one member of the regiment. 130 When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, “By G–d I’ll fight till hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on.” 131

I'm not an economist but it's good when a large part of the market hinges on unreliable and new technology that will likely face legal regulation right

Possible to run it windowed? I've had some trouble with fullscreen apps before.

Delighted to agree. Sure hope there's no context as to why you're saying this that I'll find out soon!
