Mrs. Guides and I will be spending our Thanksgiving Day volunteering with Operation Turkey to distribute Thanksgiving meals to our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness or food insecurity. Millions of Americans already struggle to feed themselves and their families every day, and with SNAP funding in jeopardy, millions more are likely to find themselves without what they need this month. If you live in Texas, Pennsylvania, or North Carolina, consider volunteering with your local chapter of Operation Turkey!

Help us support Operation Turkey by donating to our Tiltify campaign during KHGuides Twitch streams - a $7 donation feeds two people and gets a Placid Plastic Duck™ named after you during DUCKcember! 👇

November 5, 2025 WCN and Friends of WCN, On Tuesday, November 4*, our church was targeted online. Someone who is not local called the church number and spoke with Julie. The person lied, saying she was a mother in need of formula for her baby. She played an audio clip of a baby crying. Julie told her that we give through Helping Hands. The lady said that Helping Hands said they would not help her. Julie knew she was lying because Helping Hands was closed at the time, and Helping Hands would not have turned her away. If Helping Hands was low on something like formula, we would know it. Julie ended the call. The lady posted a video of the call on Tik Tok. It was recorded and posted without Julie's knowledge or consent. She claims it is proof that we are insincere Christians. We learned that this lady has a pattern of doing the same thing with other churches. Since the call, the church office has received nasty phone calls, voice mails, emails, Facebook comments and Google reviews. All of them come from people who do not live here or know us. You know Julie as I know Julie. She serves with excellence and empathy. Julie is to be commended for her wisdom, discernment, and willingness to graciously assist people who have legitimate needs. In 1 Peter 4, the Apostle Peter addresses sufferings that the early church endured. Our situation is far from suffering. But we have been insulted and maligned. Peter says, If you are insulted/maligned for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the spirit of glory, which is the Spirit of God, is resting on you... if any of you suffers as a Christian, do not consider it a disgrace, but glorify God because you bear this name... Therefore, let those suffering in accordance with God's will entrust their lives to a faithful Creator, while continuing to do good. Allow me to provide the following four action steps: 1. Pray for the person who initiated this online attack. And pray for those who have followed suit by sending messages. Maybe…

here’s the letter one church sent to its congregation after this lady called them.“you’re bad christians because you correctly figured out that i was lying!” is not a coherent take.

I watched a few of these and i’m sorry, but this is stupid. the lady making these calls is not a good liar and the churches she’s talking to reasonably conclude that someone is trying to scam them. i’m not exactly the most vociferous defender of the american church but this is a dumb social stunt.

i don’t think the main problem with the american church is “too many of them refuse to be scammed by a lady who is obviously lying.”

in any case, if you want some real, non-tiktok stunt information about how churches are dealing with the SNAP gap, we at @sojo.net did some actual reporting on it last week.

Hey all!

Are you aware of any fan-run events like MC but for other fandoms? We'd love to get in touch with them, but the problem is: We don't know they exist! If anyone is aware of other fan-run events, let us know! Even if they're slightly different than what MC looks like.

Greetings, programs!

I think I really liked Tron: Ares. Like, really. I don't know what to do with myself right now. I'm feeling very conflicted and confused. #TronAres

Mystic Mansion is my favorite Sonic spooky stage and act music.

Mystic Cave from Sonic 2 comes a close second. Lots of mystic-y stuff.

A screenshot of the first video on the Aid1043 YT channel. It shows the release date of Oct 6, 2023.

Apparently, this Monday is the two-year anniversary of my channel! I never believed a simple V CAST video would grow into something like this.

I have a big project that ever-so-coincidentally wrapped up last month, so I guess we're having an anniversary special. Stay tuned for more info!

Also, it's so much more fun to say your social is "@keyspymaster@paopu.social", a visible Kingdom Hearts reference, vs. "@keyspymaster on <insert generic-sounding/boring platform name here>"

Could you imagine a community-owned server for KH artists? Or writers? Or websites?

The thing I've been most interested the most about Mastodon was that, theoretically, the community could own and run a server itself and the stuff would belong to us and not be at risk of being shut down or sold to some rich guy.

Surely, one of the biggest reasons we're in the mess we're in is because our mass communications platforms are still owned and controlled by a single entity. If we want to break out of these digital traps we're in, we need to stop using them.

Mastodon The fediverse home of the Kingdom Hearts Database, the ultimate resource for Kingdom Hearts news, information, and media from the Kingdom Hearts series!

I've been running paopu.social for about a year. I don't host it, it's hosted through masto.host and it's been pretty reliable and I still have control of what does and does not come through. I think if we were to move as a community to a community-owned and managed solution, we'd be better off.

I am once again asking everyone to consider moving to a community-owned social network and away from a platform owned and operated by a single entity. Even though one theoretically could have its own self-hosted Bsky version, in practice, almost no one does, and that means a single-point of pressure

Seeing a lot of lipservice from Bluesky about open source and decentralization. Don't get it twisted. It's a smokescreen, the moment Bluesky enshittifies, the way out will not be easy. A fork will not save you. dustycloud.org/blog/how-dec...

By the way, you can in fact run a media business where people give you money for goods and services. 56k+ people give The Onion ~$100 and we give them a year of newspapers. This business didn’t exist last year in this way. People will pay for good shit. Now’s the time to break glass and go for it.

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

I am unaware of any other product or service where people are this demanding that the provider receive no compensation. You don't go to McD's and refuse to pay for the food because you're poor. Or maybe you do, I don't know you. But so many people demand journalism be both free of cost and ad free.

Information is a product and you get what you pay for

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Bit of a warning from someone who has seen a lot of people turn into corpses: avoid it if you can. It doesn't make you "hard" or "wise" it just leaves you with more hollow places than you had before. Violent deaths, in particular, weigh heavier.

Yes, they always cost you, no matter the victim.

It’s ok to put the phone down.
