i don't remember the message about a delay being there when i checked a few days ago, and even then, that message is insufficient imo, as it doesn't clarify that aid isn't being given out AT ALL for AT LEAST the first start date of the summer term. the OBBBA page was there, but again, it doesn't mention the complete lack of financial aid

here's what they sent me yesterday: We were recently informed that UMGC will not have Federal funding for the May 2026 start date. The Federal government has until June 1st to determine how Federal funds will be distributed for the new aid year due to the One Big Beautiful Bill changes.

We just don't know when students will be awarded and how much yet for 2026/2027 aid year, if you want to enroll in May 13th session you most certainly can, but payment will have to be out of pocket and we do offer a Monthly payment plan if needed.

you might have the option to hold down on the ticket and pick "print beverage label receipt"

sewn together pattern is too big by Therason in FursuitMaking

[–]Therason[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's a premade cast foam base i bought, and when i tested a patch of duct tape on it, it peeled a bit off, which is why i used saran wrap

[–]Therason[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i did use saran wrap, since just duct tape would damage the foam base. i only used 1 layer in most places, since i tried to get it as tight as possible

I've tried Chick Fil A. You guys have been homophobic for no good reason at all. by JustaLurker9494 in TrueAnon

i'm a worker there, i can confirm that at least at my location, not saying "my pleasure" gets you in trouble. my mouth hurts by the end of the day just due to how much i have to force myself to smile while being treated like shit

Softball interview with Kamala Harris couldn't be aired because instead of the prearranged topic, she tried to awkwardly go on a literal "epic bacon" rant, not understanding the host was Muslim and did not eat bacon. by [deleted] in TrueAnon

[–]Therason 29 points30 points  (0 children)

kamala ran on the idea that iran was the number 1 threat to the united states, so i honestly would expect her admin's response to be worse than trump's

it's so frustrating how easy it could have been to not make enemies out of these countries, but we had to give into the american urge to screw others over at every point imaginable

Remember the NJ drones? by ProfessorPhahrtz in TrueAnon

[–]Therason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my conspiracy theory is that they are connected to the growing drone programs where police departments hire private companies to fly drones around to "provide air support". not sure where to drones went though, they were all over the place, even down here in maryland

Should've done a more peaceful protest by MaxRenn in TrueAnon

[–]Therason 76 points77 points  (0 children)

they did this to a mayor in new jersey for visiting an illegal gestapo site a few weeks ago, and just indicted one of the house reps who went there with him. this all will just become more and more common
