It’s that time of the month….

Mid-Month Financial Goblin Ambush

OK, real talk for a minute.

The major bills are technically paid this month, so the lights are staying on and the servers are still humming… but now a bunch of the smaller “oh crap” expenses are suddenly swarming in from the shadows like raccoons breaking into a dumpster behind a vape shop.

Most critically: CAT FOOD.

Larry and Chewy appear increasingly convinced that if the food bowls remain empty long enough, my face legally becomes an acceptable substitute.

Meanwhile:

• Several domain and hosting bills showed up earlier than expected
• I need gas money for appointments and store runs this week
• The general cost of existing in America continues behaving like an unstable cryptocurrency

Also worth mentioning: a lot of the political actions, LGBTQ advocacy, awareness campaigns, protest support, local watchdog journalism, Pride work, scanner projects, and general anti-propaganda chaos I do gets funded directly out of my own pocket.

Despite decades of conservative mythology, George Soros has still not begun sending giant secret activist checks. I remain tragically self-funded.

So if you appreciate Dystopeka, Topeka Pride, Topeka Police Scanner, Chrometuna, the investigations, the satire, the political troublemaking, the local reporting, or simply want to help keep the mutant media fleet alive a little longer, support is deeply appreciated right now.

Current emergency priorities include cat food, gas, domain renewals, hosting bills, caffeine stabilization, LGBTQ advocacy, watchdog reporting, and preventing Larry and Chewy from escalating into full revolutionary cannibalism.
