(Updated with the correct reason for the fundraiser.)
Fellow blogger Great American Satan is having a fundraiser to make cover lost wages during recovery. From the comments:
strictly speaking, the money isn’t for the procedure, it’s replacing lost wages from recovery time. don’t wanna sit upright 8 hrs a day, commute, and charge around on breaks with a stitched up gut.
I really like the stretch goal:
To make my bills less ouch, I’d like to fundraise. Here is the incentive: Donate at all, and you can choose a word I will rhyme in a rap. If five people choose orange, I’ll try to come up with five shitty sorta-rhymes for orange.
This will be strictly words on digital paper, maybe starting below and then compiled in a blog post, unless we reach goals. At $500, I will do an audio performance of the rap. At $600, I will do a video. These productions, if they happen, will be lo-fi as all hell, because I just don’t have the time for big effort.
Please consider helping out, if only to hear what rhymes with orange…
