We have enough money to go see my grandparents, thank you so much everyone!

If we could get like 50€ or 80€ maximum it would be awesome for the groceries!

Thanks for any boost or donation, even if it's juste 1€ it's helpful!

PayPal link in the first post.

I'm still ok to help with French or fitness planning in exchange of any amount! Thanks!

@InternetEh the only grocery store within 30 minutes of where I live (and other locations to be fair but it's the only one near me) got bought by private equity and got saddled with the loans the private equity group took out to buy them. they declared bankruptcy just a few years later despite never not being in the black.

private equity is a plague.

Juneteenth (June 19th) is not a "holiday celebrating when news of the end of slavery finally reached Texas." No. Just no. Y'all make it sound like network latency! Like we were playing Fortnite, and all the Black players were lagging.🤡

Juneteenth is when the racist state of Texas took another very public L. Texas did everything it could to keep slavery going as long as possible. They gave up land to Oklahoma, so they could be below the slavery line. The Alamo was a victory for abolitionists.

My friend @pseudonymjones was drawing xenomorphs, and I couldn't resist trying to draw one from memory.

Senior management won't receive the bonus. #BusinessBeyondProfit #SomeGoodNews
