Obsession with moral + ideological purity is a poison to any group or movement.

Perfection is not a realistic human concept. There is no person on the planet who has never done anything wrong, who has never been wrong, who holds only ideals and opinions that everyone else would agree with. Constantly expecting people to be perfect (to have always been perfect) is then an exercise in complete futility—people will always fall short of that expectation.

Purity politics exist only to alienate people, prevent actual discourse, and stifle the flow of progress by focusing on a person or concept’s so-called moral purity rather than on actual empirical evidence and facts.

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

I have the opportunity to move, and this is something I desperately need to do for my health and well being, I will have better access to medical care and the services I require. To make this work I am going to need to be bringing more funds than my disability payment, I really need to get some art together and get more things on my redbubble, I would love to do something like a patreon but I don’t think I can put out timely content at this time. 

I have a scanner now, I am desperately in need of a new computer, I have been using a borrowed computer for the last few months and will have to give it back before I move, and it is not compatible with my scanner and I am unable to add editing software to it even if I could. 

I am trying to raise at least $1000 at this time, for moving expenses and a new laptop, I am trying to move forward but there is so much holding me back and I need help. 

I’m not even worried about the laptop at this point I just really need to move and I need help to do it, anything helps.

It’s Oct 1st, in just over a week I will be moving and I’m really hoping this works out. I figure I’m $400 short at this time.
