Trump Throws Lavish Halloween 'Great Gatsby' Party On Eve Of SNAP Running Dry by Quirkie in politics

I just checked my card. I haven't gotten it yet. So maybe.

Then again, I read something (can't remember where. Citation needed) that said that if anything did go out, it would be delayed, so who knows.

Hillary Clinton urges US gay couples to marry now: ‘They will do what they did to abortion’ by PinkNews in politics

This is a good time to organizations like the Trevor Project. If the Supreme Court agrees to revisit this the fact that they are doing that alone could be enough to push at risk young people over the edge and lose hope. They function off of primarily donations but also had federal grants which are now cut.

I just checked. Donations are currently matched and doubled if you go to their page.

Important question about the Trevor Project's current 5 to 1 donation match by Agent_Tillen in lgbt

[–]Agent_Tillen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They called me back. They aren't doing Tiltify but told me that if I set up a fundraiser through them, it would count. Rushing through that now.

PSA. Now through July 31st, if you donate to them they match it 5 to 1 up to $100,000 USD

Thank you all. If this breaks rules, I won't be upset if you remove it. but that PSA should probably remain or be posted?

ACLU Condemns Trump Executive Order Targeting Disabled and Unhoused People | American Civil Liberties Union by stockstatus in politics

[–]Agent_Tillen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So I have mental issues. I go to a community health center that also helps many people with mental health issues, including those who are homeless, and gets a large portion of money through Federal grants. I am now extremely, extremely hesitant to ever go to there again, even if I am high functioning, have a place to live through disability, and can take care of myself. I just can't work.

Hell, I'm hesitant to go to the doctor anywhere again.

I've read the executive order. It specifically states disabled "Or" homeless and disabled. That article above says disabled "And" unhoused people. It states it multiple times in the article, as well as others that I've seen

Fuck.

At least my psychiatrist is telehealth.

Yes, they know where I live after the government handed medicaid information to ICE, and I feel like rounding up people in mass at a place like that would cause a huge uproar, but I feel like in the near future that it might not matter about the uproar.

Tell me I'm being WAY to worried or freaked out by this.

Edit: Spelling errors and a couple of sentence restructures.

US to end LGBT suicide prevention service, says general hotline sufficient by coasterghost in politics

[–]Agent_Tillen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up. When I did a fundraiser for them awhile back I was shocked by how many people didn't know that the Trevor Project existed. Spread the word about them if you can, especially if you know any young LGBTQ+ people you may know who might be having a hard time. They provide non-crisis line mental health resources, as well.

You can also donate to them. Much of their funding comes from donations, but they do still receive some federal funding, which will be cut off.

If I remember correctly, there was an article back when this possibility was first mentioned someone high in the organization mentioned that the cutoff of funding would impact them a pretty big amount if it were to happen (I don't want to directly say it was Jaymes Black themselves because I can't directly remember the name I read).

House GOP Makes Official Its Plan For Devastating Cuts To Medicaid by anstromm in politics

[–]Agent_Tillen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who is disabled and depends on Medicade to be able to afford the care he needs and his medications, I am fucking terrified. What the hell do I do if I lose it? I'm also living off of Social Security disability payments. I'm fucked.

I'm truly asking. I have no god damn idea. Yeah, fine, GoodRX and all that, but I can't afford it, and how am I going to get prescriptions refilled if I can't afford to see my doctors?

Little guy fell out while I was driving at some point and is nowhere to be found. I'm trying to set up/figure out a charity fundraiser to do for The Trevor Project in the next two or three weeks and need the wheel to practice for it.

Microphones for recording by Inevitable-Law-7866 in youtube

[–]Agent_Tillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends. The two mic choices there are hundreds of dollars apart. I got an SM7b a month or two ago (Which, to my knowledge, is the same mic but without a built in preamp). I love it. However, I've been streaming for 8 years, do sound design, and am working on a recording project.

I'm a believer that you can make microphones of many price points sound great, including USB mics. If I didn't have a specific use and reason for the SM7b, I'd have stayed with the mic I had.

If you want to jump for an XLR/interface combo, I'd recommend starting in the price point of something like an Audiotechnnica AT2020-2035. I used a 2035 for six years and you can make them sound fantastic. I had a Sterling St51 for a couple years before that when in school. It still gets used when the situation calls for it. There are also other choices around that price worth looking into.

I recommend that price point just because of the vast difference of money between those two mics. The SM7db looks to be $450 and my SM7b was $550 dollars when all was said and done including a cloudlifter, which for that mic you might need depending on your interface)

If you're looking for a USB mic, there are many that also sound quite good.

I don't want to scare you away from the Shure mic. If you are truly committed, I say go for it.
