What can you buy with your SNAP EBT on Amazon?

Hello everybody, welcome to my blog, and today, we've got a very special link for those of you in need, you will find it at the bottom of the post. This post is for people who live on SNAP, EBT aka Food Stamps.

Please read the guidelines for buying food with your SNAP benefits below:

What can you buy with your

SNAP EBT on Amazon?

Fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products
Breads, cereals, canned vegetables, and pantry staples
Other foods such as snacks, seeds, and non-alcoholic beverages
Look for items labeled SNAP EBT Eligible

Now that you've read the rules of the program, let's get started with the rest of this post, shall we?

Delivery or service fees (if applicable), tips, and items sold by third-party sellers require other forms of payment

During this pandemic, work has been hard to find in certain areas. Some of us were put out of work because of the covid-19 pandemic, some of us are disabled, some of us happen to live on food stamps. It is alright to rely on food stamps and it it doesn't make you a bad person, in fact, Amazon is trying to lower the risk to exposure of covid-19 for people as much as possible, and yes, they deliver groceries!

I've relied on benefits like SSI and Food Stamps my entire life. Does that mean I've never worked? No, in fact, I have worked part-time in the past, and I am a mentally and physically disabled person who lives on benefits among many other Americans. If you're able to get benefits like Welfare from the state or SSI/SSDI from the government, then you must need it so long you've been honest throughout your application process. I'm sick of people bashing one another for taking what they call “handouts” in my community as if I'm not good enough just because I am mentally and physically disabled. Let this post alone be the middle finger to those who judge those in need for all of us together who do receive benefits from the system aka the government.

People can be so cruel for no reason. I grew up in a very democratic area known as Worcester, Massachusetts. All of Massachusetts is mainly liberal, but my area I grew up in back in my days of growing up was VERY progressive. In fact, I'm a progressive democrat.

Also, I don't give a f*ck about what people have to say about me or people like me being in need, and neither should you!

Thank you for reading this, have a great day, and I'll see you next time, bye!

P.S.

Stay fabulous!

Quotes & Reactions About Pride Month 5

Quote: “Each year LGBTQ+ Pride Month events draw millions of participants from nationwide (via National Geographic). The festivities and in-person gatherings typically include Pride parades, marches, picnics, parties, concerts, symposiums, and workshops. LGBTQ+ Pride has a long and complex history worldwide with many disregarded or unknown facts. From the origins of the Pride Parade to the meanings behind each rainbow flag color, here are vital facts about the history of Pride Month.”

Reaction: Well, my birthday is during pride month and I always celebrated pride month. Every pride month, my mom and I would watch the LOGO channel, listen to Adam Lambert or Uh Huh Her. I also attended QSAs or GSAs all throughout there year to try to help my community come to terms with accepting people like myself who are LGBTQ+. I spend my days reading LGBTQ+ nonfiction stories about the history of our community of queer people, the progression throughout the ages, the way that we were treated throughout history, etc. If it was in history, I probably have read it, but I also know there's tons more things I need to learn about LGBTQ+ genre of history.

Quote: “On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn — a gay club in New York City — for operating without a liquor license. During those years, New York refused to give out permits to bars that served gay people, and that night cops entered Stonewall with a warrant and arrested at least 13 people. Titus Montalvo, a hairdresser and makeup artist in the 1960s, told USA Today that the majority of those people at the Stonewall Inn "were either drag queens or gay men of color."

Reaction: Please see the first post of this series for more on my reactions about the Stonewall Inn, a well known gay club in NYC, NY when they arrested 13 people. This started a huge coalition within our community to help outsiders become allies and change the hearts and lives of people who would otherwise wouldn't have a change of heart without this turning point in history.

Quote: “Raids and harassment were common for gay bars and nightclubs across the country during this time, but on this night, members of the LGBTQ+ community stood up for themselves and fought back. This routine police raid triggered nights of intense rebellion and protests. The Stonewall Inn uprising has long been considered to have fundamentally changed the dialogue surrounding the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement and why many cities hold Pride events in June (via JSTOR Daily).”

Reaction: Well, again. Read the first post to see about what I said about this tragic event in history. We do have a right to protest and not to become oppressed by our government. We also have the freedom of speech and expression. We also have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If you cannot tolerate me for who I am, then I'm not going to tolerate you for who you are because if you're a bigot, I'm going down fighting!

Sutton, Toni. “What You Didn’t Know about the History of Pride Month.” TheList.com, 31 May 2022, www.thelist.com/879964/what-you-didnt-know-about-the-history-of-pride-month/. Accessed 12 June 2022.

Quotes & Reactions About Pride Month 4

Quote: “Every summer in the United States, the LGBTQ+ community comes together for a month-long celebration of love, acceptance, diversity, and unashamed self-pride. During June, events for Pride Month in many cities around the world commemorate the progress made toward equality by LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, and supporters worldwide (via Library of Congress). Pride gatherings are embedded in the complex history of minority groups who, for decades, have had to fight to overcome bigotry and be accepted for who they are.”

Reaction: I deal with bigotry daily. When allies get treated with bigotry, they shrug it off. But, when an LGBTQ+ person gets bullied for being a queer person, they develop mental issues such as anxiety and depression for being ostracized. Queer people like me who have bipolar depression, borderline personality disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, etc. is because of the environment around me from when I was outside of my house. I dealt with homophobia growing up from the kids in my school daily. One kid, his first initial is J. and his second initial is C. bullied me daily. Well, one day J.C chased me into the Worcester Academy football field. He lived on the next street over from it, I lived 1 street over from his house. My uncle was friends with this kid for a short period of time. But, since the 6^th grade when I came out as a homosexual, kids like C.O and his brother M.O had bullied me for learning to crochet, making friendship bracelets, etc. because they labeled it all as “gay,” which they used to mean “stupid,” which I immediately took offense to. I also was told by the guy who had the initials J.C if I came out as gay, him and his friends would attack me relentlessly. I came out anyways in 2011 and When I was over at the Worcester Academy Football Field on Thanksgiving of 2011, they chased me out of the Football field, J.C and his 15 friends threatened to beat me with my own skateboard, and I skated away from the confrontation. When I called the police, him & his 15 friends were charged with gang related activity for the amount of people that followed me and chased me out of the football field over at Worcester Academy, and they got suspended from school. They got charged with bullying under the Massachusetts anti-bullying laws via the harassment policies and guidelines. Since then, I have had the inability to trust most people because I was bullied so bad. I also developed mental disorders based on trauma. Not only did that happen, but I also developed issues with my self-esteem and had refused to come back out of the closet for almost 11 years since that day in my life. Had I not called the P.D that day, I wouldn't have warded off the bigotry that I was about to endure from a Baptist boy and his friends from my neighborhood. I'm not saying all Baptists are like that, but this boy and his friends were all religious, which is why it took me a VERY long time to accept that I am also religious because of the boys who attacked me viciously on every level with the intent to drive me to do unspeakable things and I wouldn't be here today if I allowed them to make me not alive on the inside, because I wouldn't be here if I had let them win. And, now because I didn't let them win, more and more kids are able to feel safer about coming out because of the fight and the struggle my generation and my mom's generation went through.

Quotes & Reactions About Pride Month Part 3

Quote: “Wisconsin became the first state to pass a law preventing discrimination based on sexual orientation on February 25th, 1982. Although other states like Massachusetts would follow suit nearly a decade later, the state of Wisconsin was the first of today's total of 20 states that have passed laws to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.”

Reaction: Well, I didn't know that that state I used to live in had passed those types of laws first. I am however from Massachusetts and as long as I have been alive (I'm 27 this year), there have been anti-discrimination laws in place for people in the state I was born and raised in (Massachusetts) ever since I can remember. I do not remember a time where being a lesbian or a gay male, bisexual person or transgender was considered a basis for discrimination where I grew up, especially in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. My parents, two women, yes, they're lesbians, may my mom P. Goff rest in peace. My moms were married in October of the year 2005 and I am VERY proud of their marriage and who my mother is as a person and who my other mom was as an individual when she was still with us.

Quote: “Before the enactment of this law, LGBT people were routinely denied jobs that were available for heterosexual people. Discrimination was commonplace, and LGBT community members were often put at risk of losing their jobs or homes if they decided to be open about their sexuality.”

This reminds me of “don't ask don't tell” when it was a thing in the military. Honestly, if it's such a big deal to you that LGBT people be open about who they are, how they identify, and what we like, you can fuck off like the little bitch that you are! We're here, we're queer, deal with us bitch! Homophobic people like you will be a thing of the past the more society progresses and your ways won't be missed!

“In the years leading up to the introduction of the country’s first anti-discrimination law, police across the country clashed with the LGBT community in numerous encounters. These riots made national news and as word spread, LGBT communities across the country were inspired to fight against the injustices they faced in their own communities.”

Yes, incidents like The Stonewall Inn on June 28^th, 1969 was a thing and it started a whole coalition and a movement for queer people such as myself. The police ran into the openly gay bar, raided it and shut it down so quickly that you couldn't get any words out. They arrested a ton of queer people to say the least, and honestly, I don't care for people who aren't at least allies to LGBTQ+ people like me.

Quote: “In Wisconsin, legislator Lloyd Barbee drew on the response to these clashes to gain support for a new bill that would protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation. When he retired, he passed the bill onto Representative David Clarenbach who worked on getting support to pass the bill. Assembly Bill 70 (AB70) was officially proposed by Representatives Clarenbach, Leopold, Coggs, Ulichny and Becker in 1981 and went on to be passed with bipartisan support and signed into law by a Republican governor, Lee S. Dreyfus.”

Reaction: The fact that protections were starting to come into effect by then is a great thing for us as a society to say the least. The fact that only 20 states have enacted this type of support for the queer communities across the nation and not all 50 is kinda ridiculous. We need all 50 states to enact such policies, because “nobody is free until we all are free!” Thank you to Martin Luther King for that quote by the way.

Quote: “The anti-discrimination bill introduced in the Wisconsin legislature put an end to state-condoned anti-LGBT discrimination, explicitly stating that one cannot legally deny someone housing, public accommodations, or employment on the account of one's sexual orientation.”

Reaction: Since this was a Republican who passed the bill with bipartisan support, I am surprised that a Republican actually fought for our rights. However, I did just learn that they were some of the first people to get such laws passed here in the states.

Quote: “The bill also stated that one cannot be denied access or service in a public accommodation based on his or her sexual orientation. Any place, public or private, that served the public as whole in Wisconsin could no longer reject patrons based on their sexuality. Employers were held to similar standards and were prohibited from practicing of discriminatory hiring methods. It was now illegal for employers to refuse to hire someone or in any way harass employees due to their sexual orientation.”

Reaction: Did you know it's also illegal for employers to also ask your sexual orientation? In Massachusetts, they even omit gender from applications of any sort. They only ask your name and SSN on an employment application or a housing application. They can however only ask who you're married to if they find out that you've had a prior surname/maiden name but you do not have to disclose the sex of your partner, your sexual orientation or theirs. It's also none of their business.

Quote: “Although the bill did not protect discrimination against members of the trans* community, the enactment of the country’s first law to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation paved the way for continued advances for the LGBT community over the next three decades. Though many states have passed similar bills since 1982, sexual orientation discrimination is still not outlawed in many parts of the country and no federal law has yet to be enacted to protect LGBT people from discrimination.”

Reaction: I fortunately live in Pennsylvania where anti-discrimination laws are practiced. Although not everywhere in Pennsylvania will respect the gender on your ID until you're signing out and you have to grit your teeth through the process because if your legal name is Jacob, and your ID says X, they're going to check the “M” and not the “X” box because of how stupid the system is here these days. If they were anything like Philly (the state's better ½), then they'd already know how to treat a transgender gender neutral person like me who is non-binary, gender fluid and agender (gender nonconforming).

Quote: “This post is part of a series of posts highlighting LGBT history in the workplace and in the government in celebration of LGBT History Month 2017”

Reaction: Well, nobody in my area unfortunately wants to practice the LGBT rights of my state, but if you lookup Lambda Legal's website, you'll find the laws for your area or any area you want to research there. If you're in distress and are LGBT, contact the Trevor Project @ 866.488.7386 or just need transgender resources or are transgender and in distress, you can call the Trans Lifeline @ (877) 565-8860. I found those numbers on a quick search on a search engine like Bing or Google.

Other Information Not Mentioned In Quotes & Reactions About Pride Month

“Who Were the Major Figures Involved?

Marsha P. Johnson is often credited with throwing the first punch at the Stonewall Inn (though there are many prominent figures who are also rumored to have done so). She was a Black trans woman celebrating her 25th birthday at the time of the riots and a tour de force in the gay community. She died in 1992 at just 46 years old after police found her body in the Hudson River — her death was initially ruled a suicide, despite friends and loved ones insisting that could not be the case.

Sylvia Rivera was an activist and self-professed drag queen who also played a part in the Stonewall Riots. She fought for transgender rights alongside Marsha P. Johnson, creating S.T.A.R. (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) to help house homeless LGBTQ youth. She advocated for transgender rights until her death in 2002.

Stormé DeLarverie was a gay rights activist and drag performer who was also at Stonewall when it was raided that night. Her friend, Lisa Cannistraci, told the New York Times upon her death in 2014,”

“Nobody knows who threw the first punch, but it’s rumored that she did, and she said she did. She told me she did.”

Here are some easy ways to celebrate:

March! Last year saw many Pride celebrations canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but this year many Pride marches are going forward in-person. Just make sure to check your state and local guidelines. This year's Pride theme is "The Fight Continues." Remember, Pride started as a protest!
Get involved. Whether it's working for a phone or text bank or attending town halls virtually, make your voice known!
Donate! A few organizations you can contribute to are: The Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, The Pride Fund to End Gun Violence, The National Center for Trans Equality, GLSEN, The National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network and so many more"
**The reason I separated this is because there's no reaction good enough from my P.O.V., so I would rather just repeat some information and give credit where credit is due.**

Quotes & Reactions About Pride Month Part 2

Quote: “What Is the Pride Symbol?

You probably knew that the rainbow flag — created by artist Gilbert Baker in 1978 — is used as a symbol of LGBTQ pride, but did you know that each color on the flag has its own meaning? In the widely known six-color flag, red is symbolic of life, orange is symbolic of healing, yellow is sunshine, green is nature, blue represents harmony and purple is spirit. In the original eight-color flag, hot pink was included to represent sex and turquoise to represent magic/art.

There have been many variations on the flag. In 2021, the flag has was altered in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests, including black to represent diversity, brown to represent inclusivity and light blue and pink, the colors of the trans pride flag.”

Reaction: Well, I learned something interesting today about the colors of the rainbow flag for us queer people.

Quote: “Why Do We Celebrate in June?

We celebrate in June to coincide with the catalyst of the Gay Liberation Movement that was the Stonewall Uprising. In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, police raided a popular gay bar in N.Y.C.'s West Village, The Stonewall Inn. This was commonplace for the time, but on this particular evening, the patrons of the bar fought back, starting the Stonewall Riots, which went on for days.

The Stonewall Inn was declared a historic landmark by the city of New York in 2015 and later named a national monument by President Barack Obama in 2016.

This June is the 52nd anniversary of the first Pride parade, which happened in 1970, one year after the uprising.”

Reaction: Thank you to former President Barrack Obama to making a popular gay bar that got raided on June 28^th 1969 a national monument! You must know how important this is for the people who identify as LGBTQ+ like me to know the history of queer individuals like myself. To have a national monument and a piece of paper to say I am married to the partner I so rightfully deserve the right to marry is a DAMN good place to start. I am non-binary (under T for trans and G for gender identities) and I myself am assigned male at birth and am a homosexual. My preferred name is Jaime or Jai and I myself am a homosexual by the means that I was assigned male at birth, I am gender neutral and I decide to identify as a homosexual under male standards, so I myself am gay by that very definition. I use all pronouns, I do not give a damn what anybody calls me. Those closest to me can call me “Jake,” “Jay,” “Jai,” Jae,” “Jacob,” “Levi,” or “Lee/Le.” This is an official shout-out to our former President Barrack Obama because as a Democrat, I am so proud of my party for protecting a gay pride monument as such to promote our need for more civil rights that cannot and should not EVER be infringed upon by any means!

Quotes and Reactions About Pride Month Part 1

Quote: “Starting with the Stonewall Uprising in June 1969, Pride Month both commemorates and celebrates LGBTQ activism and culture through the years.”

Reaction: It took this point in time to get transgender people like me, as a non-binary person to be able to select the gender I identify as on my State Identification Card here in the USA. This is the very movement that brought gay marriage into the equation by making it a question on the United States ballot for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts way back when, when I was a kid, both of my moms got married to one another as a lesbian couple back in October of 2005. Damn right I support it and that I am 100% proud of their marriage. May P. Goff rest in peace as of 03/2021. The date gay marriage became legal is on “May 17, 2004, the first legal gay marriage in the US was performed in Cambridge, MA between Tanya McCloskey, a massage therapist, and Marcia Kadish, an employment manager at an engineering firm. [ 26] Before 2004, four states had banned gay marriages.”This little bit of information has provided me such information from a website known as gaymarriage.procon.org/history-of-gay-marriage/ Thank you to whoever wrote this article, the portion that's in quotes from my reaction/response is from this link here: gaymarriage.procon.org/history-of-gay-marriage/ so be sure to go check out their cool information please and thank you!

Quote: “June is Pride Month, and though it continues to look different this year as the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, that does not mean that we shouldn't be celebrating the work of the LGBTQ activists who have changed the world.”

Reaction: During this pandemic, I concur with the stance that we should have people marching in parades with masks on with people watching the pride parade from a heavily populated area like for instance, I live in Pennsylvania, so I should have to watch the Harrisburg, Pittsburgh or Philadelphia LGBTQ+ pride parade from home to prevent the spread of the virus. We wanna prevent the spread as much as possible by social distancing and wearing masks, washing + sanitizing our hands, taking showers daily, brushing our teeth, just really paying attention to our hygiene and having a good hygiene regiment. We should be buying from pride stores to support such efforts to celebrate pride month, but we should be doing so in in-person stores that comply with the code of conduct of the CDC or online stores. Did you know I have pride stuff in my Cafepress store? Just go to cafepress.com/goffprintsshop please and thank you!

Quote: “Pride Month is an entire month dedicated to the uplifting of LGBTQ voices, celebration of LGBTQ culture and the support of LGBTQ rights. Throughout the month of June, nationwide, there have traditionally been parades, protests, drag performances, live theater and memorials and celebrations of life for members of the community who lost their lives to HIV/AIDS. It is part political activism, part celebration of all the LGBTQ community has achieved over the years.”

Reaction: My mother used to work for AIDS Project Worcester (pronounce Wisster). Maybe I could do an interview with her for this blog eventually to get more compelling content for pride month because she is a lesbian who celebrates pride. Why not do a for us by us type interview? I love drag queens by the way. My favorite will always be Trixie! We have to keep fighting for our rights and the progression of our civil rights as people. We need a queer-friendly nation for us LGBTQ+ people so we aren't so marginalized. If this means we have to deliver the message through protests, then I'm either going to make a sign or grab a sign and protest the heck out of the government until we get a movement going for our fellow humans who celebrates pride month because they're here and queer just like me!

I'm Decent @ Asphalt 9: Legends

Hello everybody, and welcome to my blog! If this is your first time, please comment your thoughts on the first impression of my blog and give your first post a thumbs up or down (rating). After playing Fortnite all night last night before bed, I stumbled upon a never before uploaded video of mine I meant to publish to YouTube a while back. So, without further delay, please check out the link below and give my YouTube content on my channel a like and/or a comment plus I would really appreciate if you check out more than one video and subscribe to my YouTube channel! I am so far from my goal, I only have 14 subscribers on my YouTube channel. One day soon hopefully, I will have more than met the requirements for YouTube's monetization process.

Here's the embedded video I posted to YouTube:

So, after a bit of racing on Asphalt 9: Legends for the Xbox Series S aka one of two consoles the gme was optimized for since I got the new generation Xbox console from Walmart via my mom ordering it and I refunded her the money for ordering my Xbox Series S. I enjoy playing games like Halo: Infinite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Fortnite, but let's get into my favorite racing game; it's called Asphalt 9: Legends. It's on all consoles, phone operating system, etc. It is even available via the App Store (Apple) or the Google Play store if you have an Android device. I'll even share one of my fondest memories of the game with all of you fellow human beings here on Earth.

Fondest Memory:

My greatest fondest memory is with my one friend. He bet me that he would beat me in drifting on a regular race track in the game of Asphalt 9: Legends. Did he? No, however we ended up drifting in pretty fast cars up on our TV screens. My TV screen is a 24 inch Roku TV by the Onn TV brand .Right when I got my Xbox Series S, me and said friend had made wagered bets. He bet me the Master Chief skin in Fortnite that I wouldn't beat him drifting on the race track the entire time with him. Well, I bet him $10 that I would beat his behind at the race on said track, and I smoked him by leaving him in the dust. I lapped him 2 times, he ended up quitting as I lapped him the 3rd and final time. That in and of itself make him forfeit the match. As y'all could see in another post my Master Chief skin for Fortnite, well, I won him fair and square, I can assure you that! I didn't use the Touchdrive feature or the auto-steer feature. I literally defeated him by manually steering and controlling my braking plus my acceleration by having to press Right Trigger (RT) on my Xbox Series S and out of this situation, I won his silence from his arrogant behavior, Master Chief, an apology and I defeated him and his ego!

This is not by any means under the category of sponsored content, because none of this is sponsored. I had to announce that 1st & foremost before there were misconceptions about me sharing my blunt and honest opinion of the matter on the subject.

Thank you for reading my blog! Please comment on and rate (thumbs up or thumbs down) my video or my post here. Thank you again for reading this content, and have a wonderful rest of your day/night, wherever you are and where you're from no matter what time of day/night it is wherever you may be right now in this very exact moment!

Hello everybody, if you've ever played Fortnite, anybody and everybody knows how competitive the game gets. Today, I happened to play the No Build Solo mode. I grabbed a sniper rifle late in the game, I survived mostly off of a shotgun, SMG & an A.R. in the game of Fortnite. Not only am I a good shot in the game, I also tend to avoid conflict until the very end of the match, where the battles actually matter. I let all the other players duke it out for the 1st place spot and lose it prior to the end of the match by either camping, hiding, or sniping. That's right, the fighting from a distance method has never failed me... until it came to this match and I was rushed by a dude who knew what he was doing. He not only rushed me, he ran out of a clip in his assault rifle, he switched to a shotgun and ended my streak of wins and my conquest to reign over the leader boards against my friends, which by the way, if you ask me, I will always say I'm #1, LOL.

Am I no. 1 against my friends? Maybe recently yes, but I haven't check yet. I will check after a week of actually trying to win in the game of Fortnite after a week of giving it my all at the end of next week (Friday, June 17th, 2022).

The Reason Why We Cut Our Shopify Store

The Reason Why we cut our Shopify Store:

Hello everyone, you're probably wondering why we cut out our Shopify Store. Well, we've got news: we gave it a chance for a few days, it wasn't making us any money, so we got rid of it. Instead, we are trying out a few free options like podcasting with anchor.fm and print-on-demand services that are free for upfront print-on-demand type of services they offer to us to provide you the goods that we put our designs on. If you haven't yet, please go check out cafepress.com/goffprintsshop and thank you for doing so!

Now, we're going to get into the reason we cut the Shopify Store. I went into it thinking $29/month plus tax wasn't that much for a poor person, well, even $9/month like the plan I dropped down to was too much a month, plus the card reader was $29.99 + tax, which wasn't really worth it at all, at that point, I may as well go with square! So, in the meantime, I am dealing with no Shopify, but I will be going to the Square company to go and get my biz taken care of and list my Cafepress items on there! No exceptions or excuses will be made there!

What do I mean by being a poor family? Well, without our government benefits, we'd be homeless and hungry, so we are very grateful we get those because they are much needed in this household. Between getting a Square website and then putting my domain on there once it is up for redemption after I purchased it from Shopify on August 2nd, I will be putting my blog as one domain, my Square as the 2nd domain I purchased. My Square will be http://goffprintsstore.com and my Blogger will be https://goffprintsshop.com because with my blogger as Goff Prints Shop, it has to remain that way but my Square site will be Goff Prints Store supplied by the Goff Prints Shop Cafepress store.

With free options and recent purchases for 2 domains as resources to me ($14 a domain by the way), I think I should use what I've already purchased and just roll with it. When it comes to renewal time next year, I won't hesitate to renew them both and to keep trying to push on with my current domains that I have purchased.

My original idea was to run a print-on-demand store anyways, I originally bought a printer and found it it doesn't work like that where I print as a print shop from home. So, the name Goff Prints Shop/Goff Prints Store came from the print-on-demand idea that I originally had combining my surname with the idea of a Prints or Print store, and the word Store/Shop added to the end. I make printing designs, so I thought I could call it “prints” instead of “print” so that I could sell printed goods and prints meant for printing to people as well as edit people's graphics that they're going to get printed or take custom ideas, slap it on some merchandise and then take it down once they buy the item or items that they originally wanted temporarily or privately posted and removed after they order the item and have received it. I will keep the person's print design on file with Cafepress just so if they want to order again, I can put the design back up for them to buy another copy or maybe a different item with their one-of-a-kind design on it.

If you haven't yet heard the true crime podcast that we make, here's the Anchor link to the podcast, or you can listen to it here on the Blogger blog on the sidebar to the left. It's https://anchor.fm/darkpassions by the way if you want to get a full list of links for the podcast. I will also drop the links below in this blog post.

Please meander through the links below and find the platform that you listen to your music/podcasts on and pick out the link that works best for you, we'd appreciate if you checked out and listened to some of the episodes if not all of our episodes on the podcast. The podcast's 1st season is over until September, where I will pick up the posting of the podcast again until December, and then in January I will post until May. There's 2 seasons per 12 month span and a break to write some more material. I make content for the viewers to enjoy that I enjoy creating for the viewers.

I will also edit your podcast without an issue, please contact me for pricing or look through my posts to get sense of what I charge per episode to edit your podcast as your audio engineer/producer for the podcast episode on a temporary or indefinite hiring basis. Please discuss how many episodes and how long you'd like to work with me and please indicate if I am temporarily working for you, filling in or if I am indefinitely part of your podcasting crew as your audio engineer/producer.
