Coming back from the dead to scream about this Edelgard I am OBSESSED!
a few things to keep in mind today:
- election results won’t be coming in immediately. we won’t have a conclusive answer tonight, or tomorrow, or for a few days. it could take a week or more to count all mail-in ballots. don’t believe anyone calling a state tonight.
- the initial results will likely have a republican lean, because republicans are more likely to vote in-person, but it doesn’t mean it’s conclusive. again, don’t believe anyone calling states tonight.
- consider tagging election-related posts - it’s a very stressful time for people here in the states, and i’m sure those outside of it are sick of hearing about it.
- find something to do today and do it. seriously, learn how to bake or cook something, or find a new game to get invested in, or get caught up on schoolwork, or listen to that podcast you’ve been meaning to try out, or watch some movies. if you can, spend time with friends and family. stay updated, but supergluing yourself to the news all day won’t help you.
- if you can’t vote for whatever reason - suppression measures didn’t allow you, you were too busy, or you were too young, any reason - please don’t feel guilty. take a deep breath and know there are other ways to create positive change.
overall, take care of yourself and your friends, and don’t panic
everybody gangsta til that which was once prophesized comes to pass
i really hate to be doing this again but
hey!! this is vinn. let me highlight exactly what’s going on.
a) i’m no longer a college student, for a multitude of reasons that i refuse to elaborate on in a public post anyway.
b) i recently left my family in order to flourish and grow in a less oppressive environment.
c) if i don’t find a place by the end of september (today is 9/26/20 by the way), i’m most likely going to be homeless.
in essence, i’m asking for your help with multiple things. my bank account is draining (i have ~700 but i currently am in the los angeles area, where rent is absolutely horrid) and i have no idea where to start with finding somewhere affordable when my bank account is more than likely half of what an average month of rent is.
so i’m
a) looking for a new place to stay: i’m already doing my own looking, but if any of you know a person, i’d love to know!
b) trying to save up because i know that even if i do find a place, i’ll probably only be able to barely pay for a month, let alone food and groceries and utilities and the such
please consider donating to my ko-fi!: link here
I’ll also do writing commissions: link here
i also have venmo and paypal, so message me directly for those:)
please, please spread this! anything helps, really. especially because of everything happening in the world right now, it’s incredibly difficult for me. finding a job is impossible and there’s nothing i can do at the moment but pray that i stay afloat. i’m trying to find a permanent place to stay because i’ve moved three times in the past five months or so and it’s wearing me down. i know i’m resorting to begging on the internet for help but i legitimately do not know what more i can do. please don’t guilt-trip yourself either though.
well. peace, everyone. i hope that everyone reading this is in a good situation. thanks for reading this.
love, vinn
So... things just got 100x worse...
Tldr: I’m homeless, my life is fucked, I need money
To start things off. I’m a diabetic, (black) biracial, nb woman who is now homeless.
I was living with my mom and dad in the beginning of 2020. My mom died on April 5th and after that everything just kept getting worse and worse. But then it got better and now I just want to crawl in a hole and die.
I moved in with my uncle and cousin. My cousin and I were going to move in together but that failed. Then my uncle told us we had to be out by September 1st. Then her (ex) girlfriend was going to chip in and get a house with us but now my cousin has completely dropped me (and her now, ex) and now I have absolutely nothing. No where to go. No way to work. I have nothing.
I’m so tired of ebegging but I don’t have another choice. I have to start all over and find a one bedroom or studio apartment now.

hey i just wanted to put a quick post up for people that may not know, cuz i certainly didnt until a couple years ago, but the whole prescription glasses industry is a massive racket, and i wanted to let people know about the more affordable options for buying or replacing glasses
when you go to an optometrist to get your eyes tested, they take a lot of measurements and will give you a prescription that lists things like how near or farsighted each eye is, spherical and cylindrical measurements for astigmatism, etc, but one measure they almost always leave out of the portion they give you is your interpupillary distance, that is, the distance between your pupils, measured in millimeters
the reason they leave that out is because if you have your full prescription, including the interpupillary distance, you can just go online and buy glasses from a place like zenni optical for less than $20 USD. and if you go and buy them online, thats ~$200 they dont get to bilk from you
so, you have two options, you can either request your interpupillary distance number when you get your eyes tested, which they cant legally withhold from you because its medical information
This Is Specifically Enforced By The Federal Trade Commission!
they dont get to withhold this! a lot of them will lie to you, or try to skirt around it, because they want your money. raise a fucking stink. this is an argument you can win.
the other option is to measure your interpupillary distance at home, using either a ruler and a mirror, or a phone app which is made for this purpose
once you have your full prescription information, you can buy glasses online, made to your specific prescription, for well under a TENTH the cost of ones you would buy at a brick and mortar store
