Hey tumblr looks like we need help

We are a household of 3 disabled queer adults and 3 cats and we are in a bit of a financial pickle atm

A couple months ago, we all caught COVID and had to stay home from work for a couple weeks and that severely impacted our finances. Now we also have had to pay off some debts and one of us had to have emergency dental surgery and was out of work for over a week to recover. We have burned through all of our savings and have very little money left and our food stamps expired a month ago. We’ve reapplied for food stamps and are waiting to get approved, but in the meantime we need to buy groceries and we have very little money to do that. Plus we need to be able to save up for paying rent and utilities.

for this month’s groceries and gas, we’ll need:

$500

And we would also appreciate it if y’all could help us raise money for this month’s rent and utilities, which would be about:

$1,700

If y’all could throw some money our way to help us get through this rough patch, it would be greatly appreciated! Even a little goes a long way towards helping us, and if a lot of people are able to give a little that will help a lot!

If you want to give, you can give at all of the places listed below:

Venmo: @SarahPillbug

Yeah sorry I crossed your boyfriend with jellyfish dna so he's fluorescent now. Mhm yeah I'm studying his cells by shooting him with a laser. You can still read about him in my dissertation in 4-5 years though

"It was such a relief to be pretty."

Remember to love yourself as much as Nona loves her own reflection.

actually no one is allowed to make fun of transmasc names anymore. i dont care if it's a 13 year old trans boy named after his favorite cartoon or whatever you're not allowed to make fun of trans guys' names

I'm begging, on my knees, crying sobbing throwing up, WHERE did you get that thylacine skull cuz my bone clones one looks so fake by comparison 😭😭😭

It's a 3D print that I painted/modified to look like some of the skulls in museum collections! Here's the before and after :>

I don't think I ever talked about the replica in detail but it was sanded, hot wired, and sealed with a combination of matte and gloss sealant to match how light reflects off of bones that color. It was a filiment print so it took a ton of sanding ;-;! All the sutures were carved with a hotwire and filled in or drawn with pencil to match the natural cracks/fusions. The paint was hand done with acrylics. They were wiped and sanded and stained to match the colors/textures of the ones I saw in museums. I used darker colors in the nasals and orbits to create the illusion of depth even in low light. And I used some uncleaned coyote skulls as references to match the colors/textures as accurately as I could!

Holy SHIT.

Sometimes in adulthood you just gotta desperately focus on any little joy you can if you're grumpy. Like I've had a stressful day, so I'm just going if I want a second London Nog, then I am going to have that, goddammit!

And then also sometimes you remember that you own an instrument, so you go and play that

i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE ‘HACKED’ MANA DRAIN

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘DRINK SOME JUICE’

WHAT IS ‘LOW BLOOD SUGAR’

WHY IS THIS WORKING

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

Okay but other direction can ALSO be a lot of fun

“What do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”

“Why can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is ‘quantum displacement awareness’???”

“You know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean ‘my spell book’?”

“Ooooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

When Professor Quigglenote arrived in the Weather Dome, Talmee Winnowpath was sitting on the floor, notes and talismans arranged around her. 

            “I can’t even see the sky in here!” Tal exclaimed. Her Mountain-dweller’s accent was thick; you would expect that a mountain dweller like her wouldn’t know much magic, but she was one of the most talented wizards Quigglenote had taught in a long time. “I did it earlier, just last night, out in the field behind my dorm.” 

            “You see, you know what you’re doing,” said Quigglenote. “You just have to relax. You’re doing very well in my class. This grade doesn’t matter in the long run.” 

            “How am I supposed to cast weather spells if I can’t see the sky or feel the wind?” Tal said. She knocked over the water bottle behind her, which appeared to be the last straw; she slammed the water bottle back upright, then snarled at the the birch-bark she’d been scratching glyphs on, crumpled it, and engulfed it in a ball of blue fire with a snap of her fingers. It flared up and was cold ashes in seconds. 

            “Maybe there’s something else going on,” Quigglenote suggested. “Have you checked the room’s humidity?”

            “Huh?” said Tal. 

            “The humidity,” said Quigglenote. “It’s the first thing you should check before preparing to cast a weather spell. It’s in the textbook.”
