Dad’s cremation at the cheapest place we can find is going to cost more than rent. Which I just paid and so have no more rent-sized payments to share or contribute to costs.

Even being dead is expensive in this dumbass country.

My brother started a GoFundMe to help us out.

Cameos featuring detailed profiles of Black men and women in precious metals and jewels were popular in many European countries. The ones above date circa 1600-1800. Some art historians relate the style above to depictions of the goddess Diana, others relate them to the association of Blackness and wealth that came though trade in the Middle ages and Renaissance.

You can read more about cameos like these in Black Africans in Renaissance Europe By K. J. P. Lowe, p. 204-206, and Early Modern Visual Culture: Representation, Race, and Empire in Renaissance England By Peter Erickson & Clark Hulse, p. 193-198.

if you hate some type of animal because it “serves no purpose” or “doesn’t have the same emotional/mental capacity as humans/dogs/cats” i need you to set yourself on fire for me ok

there are folks in the replies who watched an episode of tierzoo or read a reddit copypasta or something and think koalas and mola mola are useless and hate them for that and that is awful and shitty. if they were ‘useless’ those species wouldn’t exist. by consuming and being consumed literally every species contributes to the ecosystem. and regardless, why does an animal have to have an apparent “use” for its existence to be valid??? why does an animal living miles and miles away from you deserve your hatred, just because it swims a little slow or eats poisonous leaves?? i find this a very awful mentality to have. please have more empathy for your fellow creature and do better.
