It's a week until I'm paid again, and I've got a mandatory trip outside the EU to do tomorrow while I wait and see what's up with my work visa (fingers crossed). I would really like to buy a sack of dry cat food for Mac and some toiletries for myself before I go -- was hoping to maybe ask for about $50-75?

The good news is, looking at my budget, I shouldn't have to ask for help anymore. I'm staying in an inexpensive place that should help me finally save and get ahead. Everything else is all paid for, I'm just critically tight and running out of a few essential daily items.

It would be amazing to get a cheap hair trimmer, so I can keep cutting my own hair. There are some around here for like 15 euros. The last haircut I did literally with children's craft scissors and while it turned out ok somehow, that's pushing even my luck too far. :blob_dizzy_face:

As always, boosts and any dollars are immensely appreciated. Much love.

Coffee support - a new infographic from
:telegram: uawarinfographicschat

"A Danish citizen gives Ukraine the equivalent of 7 cups of coffee a month as aid (military, financial, and humanitarian aid combined). In New Zealand, each citizen provides Ukraine with 0.1 cups of coffee.

A fresh look at how burdensome it is for citizens of different countries to support Ukraine."

Continued thread

We need the #BCgovernment to get the message from concerned communities across B.C. that we must work together and with urgency to #protect #OldGrowthForests and #reform #forestry practices. To do so, the next steps are crucial:

#StopLogging in the most at-risk #OldGrowth #forests, and other #ecosystems identified by First Nations, by providing promised funding for #LoggingDeferrals.

Provide full #FinancialSupport to #FirstNations for long-term #IndigenousLed #conservation solutions, including #compensation for lost revenues and employment.

Move away from the “all or nothing” approach common in forestry practices across B.C. and most evident in #ClearcutLogging. In its place, work with First Nations, local residents, industry and other stakeholders to implement forestry practices that prioritize important values like #biodiversity, #habitat, #WaterRetention, #Indigenous #CulturalUse, and #tourism.

Hey friends and followers, @xtinadlr and I have been having a discussion about our Patreon support tiers - if we created a support tier at $1 USD / month, would that encourage people to sign up to support the podcast? Or is it just basically the same as the current $3USD tier? What do you think?

Since I'm located in Canada, the lowest support tier starts at $4.50 up here, which is kind of a lot, so I thought a tier below that might be more accessible for folks around the world who want to support us, but just can't justify the $4.50/month (or however much it translates to in their country's currency).

So, we decided to poll folks to get a sense of what people might like! What do you think about our adding a $1USD tier?

📆 Join us for our next CPC-CG Webinar taking place this Thursday 22 Feb.

Xing Zhang & Anna Hammersmith will discuss whether #marriage timing (never, early, on time, and late) is associated with adult children's #financialsupport to their #parents, accounting for variation across #gender, #race, and #ethnicity. Their findings suggest that #adultchildren who never #married were the largest group who gave financial support to their #parents.
