non-emergency crowdfunding for a friend
Hey there y'all!
My one really close friend and art mentor, Ari, has been having a rough several months, and some other friends and myself have come together to try and cheer her up.
Specifically, we're gonna build her a computer. The problem is that quite a lot of us are broke.
So far we have a video card and a 1TB hard drive that should probably work, but if anyone wants to help out to get more parts, you can donate!
Fox (another close friend of Ari) is collecting donations here: https://www.paypal.me/Swirlyfox

and then once I have coffee... gamedev! Assuming I don't crash out again like I have the past three days. With how much I slept, I hope not
Hey pals remember when I mentioned Jail Support being overwhelmed?
Atl Jail Support is exhausted (I can speak for that as a member).
We are trying to hire an intern who will work for $15hr 20hrs a week to have someone who can coordinate efforts, help all of us out, and shoulder some of the responsibilities that we've all been taking on. Extra money will go to extending the internship and/or into the bail fund.

depression, aftereffects
uuuugh don't you hate it when you get through the worst and most emotionally rough parts of a depressive episode and want to do stuff again, but you're still exhausted from that depressive episode
You might be an Internet Ancient if you:
• remember Netscape Navigator
• ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower
• had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal
• witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB
• witnessed the rise and fall of Napster
• used the web before Google existed
• ever used a dialup BBS site
• remember Gopher
• ever downloaded music as .mod files
• remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them
• remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites
• know IRC commands
• have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"
• can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make
• have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one
