Well yay, goons! I'm getting my SSI/SSDI again! As sketchy as things got these past few months, goon fund made all the difference. Without it I'd have had to abruptly stop my meds, my cats would have eaten only stolen lunchmeat, and I would have spent Thanksgiving and Christmas alone without heat or phone/Internet. So yeah I'm gonna donate as soon as I can and goon fund is good.

Ok. I find that response incredibly insincere. I guess you don't have any proof then? Other than anecdotes you personally deleted?

they're really mad about a charity thread to help feed poor goons and whine about it a lot and sound like complete lovely neocons

yo i can also attest to the goon food fund legitness. i have covid-19 and won’t get a paycheck until sometime after april 3rd, and i have exactly one (1) cup of easy mac that i’m about to eat bc it’s all i’ve eaten in the past four days and plinky came through to help.

if you can help, throw money at the patreon. when i get a steady paycheck again, i know i will. thank u for the pasta money.

Maybe people could just keep an eye out for posters that look like they're hurting and pm them or something.

I don't post much but SA has basically created my personality over the last 15 years for better or worse. I want you all obese and safe. Upped my contribution to $50/month

Plinkey posted:

money is almost out this month taking taxes into account

Dustcat posted:

also, it's the "food for goons" fund, you can't just suddenly start spending it on whatever random thing you decide

i believe you're trying to do good, plinkey, but for the love of god, get loving legal here or you're gonna end up in deep poo poo you don't deserve

I think the point is that you don't have to post your venmo or whatever, just ask plinkey.

how are you supposed to ask plink if you don’t have plat?

the account-privileged thinking only of themselves as always

Reene posted:

hey this was a few days ago but I added plat to your account

if anyone else needs plat to reach out to folks itt (or in the mental health thread) please lmk

I was proud of being platless, now I’m a plat-gouise dog

Don't feel bad about needing help.

Buddykins posted:

sent another email. For anyone who cares, this definitely helped me out the last time with my phone bill. I got this drat good new job and now I just need help for just two weeks for food until I get my first paycheck.


Thank you so much to all of you - I would've been loving lost without help that everyone contributed. I hope to be able to give back soon, and once covid is over, I will loving definitely be able to.

Wanted to publicly thank Plinkey (again) because he’s doing the lord’s work and everyone involved is an angel-goon. I got an email warning/bill from my power company (yay green paperless) saying they were gonna turn off my electricity because with everything happening all at once I have literally forgot because I’ve been scraping by on literal change the last few months. So I’m in the hospital (again), wife is at home recovering from a major surgery with just plain rice and running out of meds and we have literally $4 in cash that’s it and I don’t get paid until March. Plinkey saved our power not getting turned off (and my wife’s pain medication) and I literally started crying.

It was over such a small amount for two months of electricity.

Plinkey I don’t know how you manage to keep up the energy for all this but you’re saving lives and asses and in my humble opinion a literal hero. Thank you thank you, and thank you goons who donate.

If I can, I plan to dump some of my tax refund in as a Real Thank You for saving my rear end.

edit: i say “literal” a lot and i am sorry
