#I double dog dare you to go into my inbox and say Armenians are the terrorists in this situation I fucking dare you

my laptop has hit its date of planned obsolescence it seems, I have a problem with the mouse where it goes all over my screen and clicks on things on its own. i have tried for over a month to fix it, I've tried updating drivers, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse, I tried turning the touchpad off and using an external mouse, I fucking reinstalled windows. nothing has helped.

i've run out of ways to fix this save replacing the touchpad entirely and that's not even guaranteed to work and could be almost as expensive as a brand new laptop, and ngl this is not the only problem I have a 2in1 tablet and the touch screen hasn't worked in about a year. i think i'm just going to have to buy a new laptop. it's one thing rn while I'm on a gap year and only using my laptop for silly things, but come January I'm going back to school and it's going to be a nightmare; as it is, I keep finding bits of my fics that have random segments deleted or words/phrases pasted in place of the text i'd originally written, if that happens to my essays or school notes I could be screwed, bc I don't always notice the errors caused by my haunted mouse. i have a little bit of income, I'll be able to save $140 per month for a replacement if I dedicate my entire patreon income per month and $15 out of my weekly grocery budget to saving up, but the replacement I'm looking at (lenovo ideapad 5i bc I have a lenovo ideapad 3i or something) is about $450 and it'll take me 3 months and change to reach that number. and there's no guarantee that price won't increase before I'm able to purchase a new laptop, since the price for the model I want has fluctuated from between $600 and $425 in the last six months (amazon price tracker).

if you've ever wanted me to write a particular story, pretty please reach out. $30 gets you 1k, $45 gets you 2k, etc. plus sometimes I go over the word count predicted and just give the extra bits for free instead of chopping it down. i also have ko-fi and patreon, which I mentioned, also under the name moonythejedi.

and if you'd rather not give your money to my new laptop fund, but you do have some spare cash, consider donating to Armenians displaced by the genocide in Artsahk. recently every single fucking Armenian in Artsakh had to flee their homes due to Azerbaijani aggression.

commissions

i am going through a tough time financially so i just wanna put out there that I'm available to be commissioned. it's $3 per hundred words for the first 1k, then $1.50 for every hundred words after that
