Pay Karrie Higgins using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/KarrieHiggins and type in the amount. Since itโ€™s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Donโ€™t have a PayPal account? No worries.

I am trying to raise $200 today for a local disabled friend who is losing #SNAP tomorrow (yes, the court decision is good; no it will not restore things immediately & they need aid anyway!).

If you can contribute, please send with a note that says (SNAP AID): www.paypal.com/paypalme/kar...

I wish help to cover catastrophic illness was never needed by a single soul, but of course it is. Are you able to help Karrie with this? If not, mind passing it along? Mille gracias.

I am $500 from a milestone on the Help Hope Live that would help with paying for the biopsy, the consult at the U, meds, RX sunscreen & EEG! This fundraiser is scam proof because I can't even access the $ w/out a receipt & it's tax deductible!

People were coming out and I was arguing with my very Catholic relatives about why being gay was okay. I mean I had to have the argument. And I was super naive about my points. But I was able to have it and they were engaged and willing to think about it and potentially adjust their views.

Before 9/11 felt like a time when things were going in the right direction. The Berlin Wall fell and the world opened up. I went to Eastern Europe in 1997 and the Americans had made everyone in Prague hate us. But the small towns were wonderful. I ran into Madeline Albright on the streets of one.

Yes; this. I worked on a historic farm and we had strainers (so much hair and gunk in the filters) and then an electric pasturizer. This was in the 1990s, but the equipment had probably been bought at farm auctions and was likely from the 1940s or 50s

As someone who grew up in the US, it seems a big difference in Canada is thereโ€™s just 1 or 2 choices here. Only two types of Girl Guide cookies. Only a few types of flavoured colas; most seasonal. And only one city that really feels like a big cosmopolitan North American city and that is Toronto.

And the PhD is astrophysics will just be rebranded as a PhD in physics. And physics isnโ€™t going anywhere. This is so ridiculous. I hope the languages just band together and offer joint majors to fight this ridiculous metric. The world language program at IU is world class and run on a shoestring.

And for Folklore few people get a BA in Folklore, but lots get an MA or PhD and it is a top internationally ranked program. Saying they wonโ€™t grant BAs in Folklore will not save any money, it will just deny the students who want that major as well as all those who take a class or two opportunities.

This law was clearly made by people who have ZERO idea how universities work. The IU Theatre department is wonderful. They only graduate a few PhDs a year (in Theatre History / Lit) because for many parts of the discipline (acting, etc) an MFA is the terminal degree. The PhD cohort is part of it all

Me too. When I take my kids back home to visit the Midwest chasing fireflies in their grandparentsโ€™ back yard was one of their favourite parts when they were tiny.

My politically active Iowa grandparents rented out rooms in the the house next door to Iowa legislators during the session because the reps donโ€™t make enough to afford 2 households. They were just 3 or 4 people working hard during the week who went back to
their districts on most weekends.

@karriehiggins.bsky.social is an amazing writer and artist who Iโ€™ve know since I was 14. They need support for essential medical costs and home repairs that are urgently needed to preserve health. Please donate if you can and share!
