Hey Generous Folks -- I wanted to put a message up for 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. #16DaysAgainstGBV #16Days
Rather than an ask for donations, I want to encourage you to find your local spaces in your own community that help women and people of all genders who are fleeing gender based violence or intimate partner violence.
Maybe *you* can raise a few dollars, volunteer at a local space, or help out in other ways. Maybe you've never done that. It might seem scary! I guarantee you, you'll love it. Whether you raise $50 or $500, or nothing at all, by becoming part of it, you'll make a difference

Lots of shots of a beautiful European city, and brief interviews with the people there. Many at restaurants where meals are paid for with bitcoin.
I guess they have a circular economy there of some sort.
Conclusion seems to be that fixing the money is important but building community is even more importanter.

In a groundhog day loop of explaining why this hierarchical model cannot effectively be represented in the unified flat format they're trying to push. You can absolutely represent it in a flattened way, but it requires breaking out the child components into their own collection.
We end, once again, with the telling pause of disinterest and multitasking, followed by a distracted "mmm hmm" and promises to circle back on it later.
Collateral damage in Abbott’s war on rainbows.
