Many thanks to More2Life for helping us pay the bills at the end of this month. I also had a job interview today that seemed to go well and have an interview tomorrow morning, too. Praying God gets me working again soon.

What's hilarious is how very true this is.

to be a fan of both dracula and sherlock holmes is to have the widest experience possible on the question of “what would the author think of x” because bram stoker would be getting in months long twitter battles defending lucy while arthur conan doyle would come after anyone who asked him any question with a baseball bat

That was mean of the anon. Maybe disable anon messages so that the person can't hide behind anonymity?

Or I can just go about my day and keep looking for work as I planned.

Starting to look like this message was a hoax, so here's hoping a new job comes up VERY soon.

hey I got a spare $500 whats the best way to contact and send?

Oh my gosh, you're a lifesaver! That's literally what we need to pay our bills at the end of this month! Our PayPal is fractiouslemon@gmail.com and thank you so very much!

I've never been to war (thank God), but boy oh boy can every day life make this image relatable sometimes.

Well...because nobody bothered to train my husband on the part of the job they wanted, they decided to let him go. Hopefully this means he can collect unemployment. Prayers would be very much be appreciated.

Hi, im a follower from afar (that has given some suggestions relating to helping you with jobs/housing.. same anon) Wdym by burned social bridges? I see a lot of members were removed from the playstonkers cast D: You don't have to specify if you dont want to, just confused bc u guys seemed close

Let's just say things escalated very quickly. It's not something I'd like to publicly discuss.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

Thanks to more 4-8 hour work weeks and me burning more social bridges, we're going to be several hundred dollars behind at the end of this month again. I'd appreciate everyone's prayers and, if possible, what little financial support they can offer.

Kind of like my realization that I'll most likely never be able to afford a new diagnosis to replace the papers my family lost and have to keep struggling to find and keep jobs without any kind of financial assistance.

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.

So how 'bout that Elio vore scene, eh?

I haven't watched the movie and don't plan to. Apparently that's the opinion most people have about it. But I do wonder, as does my wife, did the people making the movie know what they were doing when they made THAT SCENE? You know which one I mean. The one at the end of the trailer. The one where the slug thing eats Elio and he's all like "It's kind of cozy in here" and he curls up wistfully as though he's returned to the womb.

They knew what they were doing. They had to know. There's no way they didn't. That scene and its icky implications both on and off screen still keep me awake at night in a state of dread. Why did you do this, Pixar? What did we ever do to you to deserve alien worm vore on the big screen when all we wanted to do was watch Porky Pig and Daffy Duck? Shame on you, Pixar. Shame on you.

But perhaps I'm being too cruel. At least you didn't make Sneaks.

Horrible atrocities and regrettable former friendships aside, I will never let the world forget about Bongespob Ersatz. Sometimes the world's greatest treasures can come from bad places.

I work as a character layout artist on Spongebob Squarepants Movie 2. I have to do a lot of careful on-model character drawing, so every now and then I draw Bongespob. Bongespob is a very strange toy I found at a thrift shop. My theory is that a carnival or crane machine toy company made him out of spare parts. I’ve been trying (and largely failing) to make him into the production mascot.

And you're surprised by this? I was more shocked that they were making a new Animal Farm movie at all!

They are 1984ing the Animal Farm movie

There's nothing I like more than being given a long list of completely arbitrary rules and being told that I won't be given more work if I can't follow them perfectly.

[fractiouslemonofficial]

By which do you mean they're censoring the story like something out of 1984 or they're making the story of Animal Farm similar to 1984?
