April rent has been completely covered! Looking ahead to May and June now. Every little bit will help. Please help?
There's still a lot of stuff that has to be set up, but, it's also on him. There are, currently, three days each week that he's going to be spending in dialysis. He has no return-to-work date set right now.
Any and all help, financially, is greatly appreciated. Currently about $100 short for April rent, and $1300 short on May rent.
Trying to manage all this, while being on the spectrum, and being unable to even entertain asking family for help, is overwhelming and then some.
The housemate is slated to come home on the 24th. I cannot just stop the fundraising when that happens, though. Please help?
Help?
The update on things is that the housemate is financially flat-lined. If 'thoughts and prayers' were actual currency then I'd be covered for a decade's worth of rent by this point.
For those who don't know: the housemate has become mobility disabled due to a life-altering injury, and then there's the other medical conditions that took the opportunity to go "hiiii, we're heeeere!" They're in a care facility at this point--they've been there since the beginning of December 2023.
I cannot cover the rent on my own, in its entirety, because I do not pull in enough income to do so. I've depleted my tiny buffer and have no other resources. Family is unable to help any more than they already do. Being Autistic, and trying to handle all my Things while dealing with this on my own is making it very difficult to maintain what little 'cool-headedness' I've had in my day to day. I am drowning under the pressure and therapy and meds can only get me so far.
#it's sad 'cause it's true#adulting is exhausting#want to curl up in a ball and scream or cry or just stare because omg the pressure is bonkers#rent control should be a thing EVERYWHERE#universal basic income would be a huge help right now...#Autistic#Actually Autistic#rent help#fundraising#disability#disability visability#rent

i’m a firm believer that leap day should be a free day no matter what. i don’t care if it’s a thursday everything is put on pause for everyone and we all get to hang out and enjoy the extra day that only comes once ever four years. peace and love on planet earth.

hi do y'all mind if i misuse this blog entirely for a second. idk why i'm asking i don't actually care they found a new snake it's a New Snake we didn't know about this snake before!!!!
NEW SNAKE HELL YEAH!!!!
hot damn this is so fucking great but the mild perturbation that snake expresses is deeply fucking funny
like you're moisturized, flourishing, in your lane, and this bastard noodly creature from Beyond shows up to flail it's many extraneous appendages around in sheer joy that you exist. and this is a little bit weird so you go to the next aisle over in the grocery store.
I love everything about this. The gorgeous incredibly beautiful and majestic snake. And Prof. Freek Vonk snorkeling past in what appears to be business casual clothing and sneakers.
More information here—the snake was documented after the scientists received an invitation from the indigenous Huaorani people to study the snakes, which are considered by them to be sacred.
It is 5.5% genetically different from the other green anaconda species, which makes it very special (humans and chimpanzees are only about 2% different according to the article)

I have a folder called Time is a Flat Circle in which I collect evidence of humanity. Here is most of them.
Okayokayokayokaybut "My hand will wear out but the inscription will remain" is kind of a power line BEFORE you factor in that it is, in fact, over a thousand years old.
It’s always good to spend a few moments, on a quiet day, looking through the Family album.

could you give a tutorial for the barbed wire stitching please? ^_^
Sure! I've never done a tutorial before, so I'm sorry if this is a little confusing 💀
The whole design is made of simple straight stitches, so it's pretty easy :)
1. Make a diagonal stitch, then make another one in the opposite direction to create an 'X', that is wider toward the end.
2. Make two more diagonal stitches to create another X attached to the end of the first one.
3. Make two more diagonal stitches that face outward, creating the 'barbs'
3. Create straight horizontal stitches between the barbs, I'd say about 3-5, depending on how far apart you make the stitches.
4. Create two diagonal stitches facing outward again, facing the opposite direction of the first two barbs, closing off the first shape.
5. Create another X between the barbs, and repeat the process again until you reach the end of whatever you're embroidering :)
I would suggest making the X's a bit longer and narrower than I did here, because I think it looks a bit better that way, but honestly it doesn't matter all that much :)

You would think that the God of Death has no respect for life. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, out of all the gods, it is the God of Death who has the most respect for life, for all too often have they been forced to watch mortals throw their lives away.
TW: Suicide
Where the bridge was…the name of the river. It didn’t matter. It could have been one of a thousand places in America alone. The moon was beautiful…and the starts were able to display their full wonder. You could even see nebula, for it was so far from any foreign light. Still even that wasn’t important. There was a bridge over a river in the dead of night…and on the edge of that river was a woman, and as she stood there she tapped weights to her feet with tears running down her cheek.

Well. Fuck.
Ok, yeah, obviously I'm posting this up to ask for help because holy fuck we need it, and the partials we'd been doing for previous months are not adding up enough.
So yeah, now would be a great time if you need to buy leatherworks for like late fall or gift season. Here's that link, to help out and get stuff at the same time: http://tormentedartifacts.com
Or if you're willing to just donate and help out, and keep a trans woman artist and her family housed, which would be even better, here's a donation link: http://paypal.me/tormentedartifacts
Right. New thread chain because that old one got LONG.
To answer the replies- we're in unincorporated territory and thehousing authority over here is strained past breaking- believe me, we've tried, but we don't have the same protections or services available as we would in K8ng County proper.
That said, we're still hovering just under 6k collected. It's been a slow week, and I've been trying to fill orders, deal with kids, and keep my own sanity intact, so I haven't had a lot of spoons left for bumping this.
So one last push, I hope. Please, spread the word. If you can donate or order, it's so appreciated. Just please, help.
5.9k/10k, 5.1k to go.

i love popular music that’s good enough that you both connect to it enjoyably and also popular enough for you to hear it playing in public at grocery stores or radios or cafes or bars or stores… it’s rare for that to happen but it does happen. sometimes songs justly deserve their popularity. when i heard zombie by the cranberries roaming a grocery store and a scottish girl next to me in the dairy aisle starting humming the lyrics… when i heard shake it off by florence and the machine at a pub and the girls next to me happily sat up and started singing along… when i heard with or without you by u2 on the radio in the car and was like wow I can’t believe this sounds good and my mother was like i used to love it at your age. the whole masterpiece that is hallelujah by leonard cohen

basically this quote is real:

Unpopular opinion: Being intelligent isn’t an excuse for being unkind.
Pretentious asshole is OUT! Pretentious Sweetheart is IN! Wearing dapper clothes and holding the door open for others makes you feel COOL AS H*CK! Glance up from your hefty books to give a stranger a smile!! Quote literature to inspire others! Be presumptuous in the way that you presume that everyone needs their day to be a little brighter!!!
