Local man Jerry Whipple, a self-described red-blooded, god-fearing follower of Christ, was outraged when he noticed all of the parts of the Bible he deemed to be “woke” were highlighted in red.

    Eh, I would be shocked to find a single religious believer who doesn’t disregard overwhelming majority of their holy book/-s! If you guys get to ignore the parts about woman rights, brown folks, homosexuality, slavery… why doesn’t he get to disregard the parts he dislikes?

    I saw that and almost posted it this morning. I thought it may upset you and didn’t. I was thinking about a 501©(3), but with the current administration, maybe it’s not a great idea. What do you think about a mutual aid similar to hexbear? They don’t do any vetting, but GoFundMe does, and maybe too well. I’m not sure about chuffed, but givesendgo may or not present it’s own issues. I’ve been resting from a community project and minor injury, but if you think it’s a good idea, I’ll read the website terms.

      I think it would be great to have a way to help folks. Money stuff is always kind of a hassle cause of forms, paper work and making sure it actually goes where it’s saying and all that but I think it’s worth looking into with a good amount of review and oversight on the community’s part.

        Are you talking about nonprofit or mutual aid community? Because I don’t think with the current administration nonprofit would be so great. Mutual aid would kind of take care of itself through the agencies listed, with some decent moderation, but would require a separate magazine, and a discussion among active mods about what we can all find agreeable (and there will be criticism). Maybe we can set up a private moderator magazine, but I don’t know anything about how to do that. And I may need to get a new device with room to download an app so I have better mod tools, they are extremely limited on the web version of my device.

          It would be nice to have a place for mods to chat. I was thinking Matrix but it’s kinda hit and miss and needs a app. I use Tesseract for modding. I’m I don’t think it works on Kbin is the problem.

            I was thinking a community like this one but don’t know if it could be passworded. At any rate, I’ve been putting off a new device because of budgeting, but I can look around.

              I’ll ask around and see if there’s a way to set it for mods only to view and post and we can set up a community for that
