  1. The Return of Kozeshi @[email protected] ·

    How can we ask for currency when we have already asked so much so many times?

    Why don't we "just get a job"?

    We believe firmly and resolutely that the work we are doing to survive will beget the ability to thrive. And in turn, the work we do to thrive will beget the ability to function. And when we have a functioning home, we can build a functioning lab. And with a functioning lab, we can build a functioning gene editing system.

    Being forced to move out into an unready school bus two years ago was not just a challenge, it was a hammer blow that could have spelled the end of our efforts. It could have been easy for us to throw in the towel and return to whence we came. But we aren't like that. And freedom of any kind is not what you should just give up on, let alone freedom of form.

    Although we have tried on a few occasions to find employment to supplement income and raise funds for more than just the bare minimum, we have repeatedly found that the job market is an uncaring disastrous mess that takes away more than unemployment does, because when you account for commutes, taxes and payroll fuckery, not to mention bureaucracy and sheer low wages, and the instability of gig roles, and of course AI, it becomes far more favourable to use our precious time on improving our situation directly than gamble it on that shitfest.

    Do we feel any guilt asking for help with money? Only insomuch as those who are sending it might be putting yourselves into financial problems by doing so (please only send what you can afford to send). Because we know we are using it for the most honest purposes we can, unlike so many other possible places that money could have gone. And one day our work may help you.

    And one day maybe we will see the end of capitalism and not need arbitrary tokens of exchange for basic goods and services.

    But, for now, we are thousands of dollars behind where The System needs us to be, so if any of you have encountered a windfall of late and wouldn't mind splitting some of it in our direction, or if you have some pocket change amount left over in your Paypal or Cashapp, please feel free to help us along a little more.
