Help a homeless LGBT couple in need ❣

Hello again everyone.

My partner and I have been homeless for close to 3 years now and it is having a huge toll on our physical and mental health. I found a job this year and my partner just started a work study program but these haven't been enough. Between work, school, and trying to keep sheltered/cover food and bills, things have been spiraling out of control and there is no rest. We are forced to upend ourselves very often because we can't always afford to stay in our motel and when we do have access to food, it is usually fast food so I have been getting chronically ill on a regular basis. I'm missing more work than I am comfortable with due to my health and when I am working, I'm struggling to focus from a lack of sleep or nutrition. If we don't find a solution soon, I don't think we're going to make it.

Right now, I'm trying my hardest to find a place that will house us long-term but between the cost of rent in the area, our credit, and the usual need for 2.5x rent in income, it has been slow going. I cannot save additional funds because covering a motel room costs most/all of the money I make depending on the month and that isn't including car bills, food, and gas to get to work. I feel like I'm slowly dying right now and I have never felt so low and lost in my life. Any help affording needs like shelter, food, gas, and bills would mean a lot to us both. I just can't keep this up.

Please, no hate and no unsolicited advice. It's been years of this and I am far too tired to deal with either, even if it's coming from a good(?) place. You will be blocked. Be safe, friends.

just saw someone call junji ito lovecraftian (loads shotgun)

you know aside from the fact that calling any freaky horror "lovecraftian" is stupid (along "kafkaesque" lines) junji ito's horror is by definition NOT lovecraftian. lovecraftian horror is like, cosmic horror that preys on your fear of the unknown. you KNOW what the horror is in a junji ito story. he shows you. it's the living person inside the armchair or the unbearable desire to force yourself through an increasingly not-you-shaped hole. the fact that he places what you're scared of directly in your line of sight and renders it in loving, incredible detail is what makes his work so good. a lot of horror fails when it tries to make the threat knowable; junji ito's does not. (empties shotgun and loads it again)

alright for the millionth time I'm seeing yet another author I admire talk about how they literally can barely afford to live & yet there are people openly admitting to pirating their books so, like

i guess it needs to be said again

pirating books is not the same as pirating your favourite Disney movie or whatever. book piracy kills author's incomes and can genuinely ruin someone's career

Textbooks and other research materials being paywalled by greedy fucking publishing houses who won't pay any of that money to the authors anyway? Pirate them.

Novel written by an author and published through a regular publishing house? BORROW FROM A LIBRARY or buy outright. Do not pirate. The sales/borrow numbers OUTRIGHT determines pay to the author, whether their next book gets greenlit or cancelled, etc.

Multi-volume series that you want to read the end of? BUY OR LIBRARY.

You can get ebooks and audiobooks through your library! Don’t pirate books!

I think the outlier “six figure” author advance payments really skew people’s perception of how much authors make... 

In 2022 the income of professional authors (people where writing is their primary income) averaged just £7,000 in the UK - and that figure is, unsurprisingly but still depressingly, even lower for marginalised authors.  

Pirating books is an ethical issue - and you can look at your circumstances and decide where you want to draw the line - but don’t kid yourself that authors are living it large and that the pirating of their work doesn’t have an impact.

Okay this is just getting funny now

in the bible in revelations i think or somewhere, it warns you that near the end times, false prophets will pop up claiming to be the messiah. do you ever think scholars from like 700 years ago studying the bible would have thought this would be one of them

do you think this is the kind of thing that will result

I reblogged this at like 4am and I’ve spent the whole day thinking about it and randomly laughing

Bunny is thinking outside the box

WHY DO MY NOTIFICATIONS LOOK LIKE THAT TUMBLR YOU CANT DO ANYTHING FUCKING RIGHT OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU STOP CHANGING MINOR ANNOYING THINGS ON YOUR SITE IM SO UPSET RN

I don’t want to scare anybody, but I know that there are a lot of teenagers on this site & I wish I had known this when I was a teen, so:

A lot of chronically ill people find that their health suddenly declines when they are in their early to mid twenties. Idk why, it just seems like your twenties is when it tends to happen. So if you are approaching your twenties, & you are starting to realize that you’re tired all the time, or that your joints are a little too bendy, or that for some reason you have a constant stomachache—please go to a doctor now. Don’t wait because “it’s not that bad” or you can “deal with it”. Because there’s a possibility that it will become bad in the next couple of years. I know that it can be difficult or impossible to get medical help when you’re a minor. But if at all possible, please see a doctor. Get a mobility aid, get a diagnosis, accommodations, therapy, medication, anything that could help. Please don’t put it off—if something would improve your quality of life now, do it now. You may end up saving yourself a lot of grief later on. It’s so much better to head into your twenties already prepared, just in case.

And again, I don’t want anybody to worry about your future. I want you to have the BEST future possible. Modern medicine is incredible & chances are, you will be perfectly healthy in your 20s. But just make sure that you are thinking about future-you while making decisions in the present <3
