Look at Lemon being a great role model for her baby sister. 😁 (I was making a sandwich)

A very distressing thing about the current world is all the constant, socially-approved #begging.
Everything I watch or read has routine begging. In a world of "the #internet is 'free'" the cost is reducing everyone who entertains or informs you into a beggar.
I have a #Patreon account, and I do support some people, but there is so much begging -- and so many hands out for cash! -- that it is overwhelming.
What is all of this saying about who we are? There has to be a way to do better.
