honestly, Paypal being a giant piece of poo poo stealing money is very very very on-brand and common. I've even had Paypal steal $$$$ from me and never got it back. In this case, this is the one, and maybe only, instance where Lowtax was the more believable and more trustworthy party in the matter. anyways 'tis best to drop it since it's not good to derail the thread over a dead guy, but with complete sincerity that paypal is well documented to be vastly worse

HELLO.

Do you like DUMB STUFF? Do you like to get dumb stuff in exchange for your donations?!

I have made more STICKERS featuring one of our oldest friends! Proceeds from the sticker sale will go right into the US Goon Fund as a donation. There are only so many stickers available, so the resulting donation will be fairly small, but I think this is a good trial run for any future efforts.

Etsy is the easiest way for me to handle the sticker sales since it easily tracks quantities and helps me with gathering shipping details. It also allows safe and easy returns in case you get the sticker and you decide you hate it!! It does take a small small cut from each sale, but only like ten cents or something.

Each 3" sticker is printed on shiny, waterproof vinyl, is backed with solid adhesive, and is guaranteed to last. Worried that someone will recognize the design and realize you're carrying a giant gaping anus on your stuff? It's pretty much not gonna happen. I've worn t-shirts in the wild with the design, and literally nobody has ever stopped me to ask if I know about goatse. It flies under the radar. If you know, you know. If you don't, why and how are you registered on these forums?

NOTE: I didn't ask for any gosh darn permission to do this little fundraiser from the fund operators, so if you really, truly hate this whole thing, please contact me and not them!! While I do hope this is an okay thing to do, I will take down the links if requested.

xoxoxo help your fellow goons

This is in reply to email I sent about 5 hours ago asking for an update after 2 weeks of silence on their end. I feel like an idiot for not following up with them sooner since its very clear they just forgot, but last time I contacted them they seemed to admonish me for not having patience with them. Whatever, this lifts a tremendous stress off us now. We currently have $2,300 sitting with stripe that we should have by Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. If you have a request pending with us and your deadline is before then, please let us know if it can wait a couple days since we are running on fumes right now. Some requests with deadlines before we get the funds may also only get partials with more money coming later in the week.

A massive shout out to the couple of people who donated about $3000 to us through venmo during August who basically kept us from having to pause all payments after Stripe cut us off.

Stickers that have been purchased thus far will be going into the mail tomorrow. Be on the lookout for a card with your name on it!

Thanks to your purchases, we've raised $76.11 as a donation to the US Goon Fund thus far.



Thank you to all -- 12 stickers remain available at the time of posting.

Is there a user portal for the stripe donations? Like to manage cards on file, amount, date, etc.

There is a portal we can use as Stripe admins to see and manage all of that. From a donor standpoint Stripe will email you receipts but you have to message one of us fund operator people if you want to get anything more detailed than that. We have talked about building a simple interface for donors to use to manage their donations directly and that would be nice to have, but it's not super critical right now because we have a small enough number of donors that we can operate it by simple requests atm.

Etsy paid out today, so I turned the sticker sales into a $100 donation to the fund. Thank you to those who purchased and have helped out!



Extra shout-outs to a few people who, on the side, received some different stickers from me in exchange for donations. The system works! You get dumb poo poo, goons get helped, hooray!

I still have 10 stickers in stock so please check my other posts in this thread for any links if you are interested.

I had to take my old lady cat (she's 10) to the vet today for a UTI and because Goon Fund helped me earlier this month with other expenses I was able to cover the bill (with a little help from local friends). Thanks for helping my fuzzy baby in a roundabout way!
