Is there more of that human au I want

I definitely have more ideas, but I go with the flow when I’m drawing fanart. So whatever ideas start to feel most fleshed out/fun to work on at the moment get prioritized

But yknow, we got a lot of time before the next season haha so I’m sure I’m gonna work on more human AU in the meantime

I hate to be in this position again but my job has been drastically reducing my hours more and more and at the current time don't really have any money to finish covering my half of rent or groceries.

I'm going to probably be looking for a new job but in the meantime if anyone would like to help out it would be greatly appreciated ;;

Hate to do this but had to bring my cat to the Emergency vet care clinic tonight. He had a ruptured abscess in one of his glands and because of the emergency it escalated the cost and so I am in need of some help. Spread the word and donate even a $1 or $3 (I think that’s the lowest for kofi can go I think if I remember)

I’m full on comms. Might take more but I just don’t want to get swamped or too stressed. Donations are just super helpful right now. I’m thinking I’ll try and do some adopts or ych’s instead first. So thank you. 🙏

I took off work today. I thought it might help my mood but I've only felt guilty. I'm feeling kind of down, not because of work, but a combination of returning there full time, the monotony of it all, my brother ill at home, I read this fic yesterday where the main character's watch got stuck as a symbolism for his life growing stagnant, and it really rubbed that old wound I'd thought I'd healed. I'm thirty one now, I didn't think I would still feel this way. And for a long time, I didn't. This year particularly had been going really well. But tragedy struck and I'm sitting here with an ache in my chest feeling pity for myself. If I could drink, today would have been a good day to.

Oh im FURIOUS.

My roomate has so much to say about the cost of “water/gas/electricity” blah blah blah.

And i just found out

HE DOESNT HELP PAY FOR ANY OF THEM.

Ya know who does? ME. MY COUSIN.

And when i griped she went

“Well he pays for streaming services….”

GIRL DONT YOU FUCKING DARE.

So NOT ONLY CAN HE NOT AFFORD HIS FULL RENT LIKE ALMOST EVER WHILE IM OVER HERE PAYING EXTRA MONEY FOR EVERYTHING

HE AINT EVEN HELPING WITH THE BILLS.

PAYING FOR FOOD YOU ALSO EAT, AND SERVICES YOU ALSO USE, DOES NOT NEGATE HELPING WITH THE FUCKING BILLS. NO WORKING AS MUCH AS YOU DO AS THE OTHER CAREGIVER WHILE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF OVERTIME DONT NEGATE THAT SHIT EITHER BECAUSE IF YOU WERENT HERE WORKING “AT HOME” YOUD BE WORKING A HARDER JOB AND PAYING YOUR STUDENT LOANS AND NOT LIVING IN A HOUSE.

STOP SPENDING ALL YOUR MONEY ON STUPID WEIRD SHIT AND START HELPING PAY FOR BILLS YOU FUCKING BUM, ARE YOU FOR REAL?!

Obviously I'm not one to play any Hoyoverse games but seeing the way a chunk of the HSR players were welcoming Chris fucking Niosi as one of the VAs with open arms AND continuing to defend him now that he's rightfully stepped down is sickening

Money, the lack of money, and the requirement to have money in order to survive are the sources of literally all of my deepest problems. I need America to burn, and I need capitalism to burn as well.

No thoughts, just Kaeya getting the equivalent of dunmeshi’s mana sickness when he starts training up his Abyssal abilities during his time with the Ragnvindrs and getting plagued with visions from the leylines near the Winery for a solid Week

And maybe you'll be like "but if you don't trust businesses, how can you trust welfare?"

I fucking don't. My mom trying to get on food stamps fucked me up because a lady I never met without my permission got my SSN from my mom and started editing my files. My heart still races to this very second whenever I think about it, it kinda messed me up bad and I'll never ever ever see any kind of recourse

And I'm terrified that I'm gonna lose my medicaid just cause I inherited some money from my grandpa

And I've never even applied for disability cause it kinda doesn't matter finding out if I'd qualify or not cause of my depression, when the rules are so restrictive I don't know if I've even be allowed to keep my house

I do not fucking trust these things on a personal level. I feel like out of a lot of people I have the most to fear from them cause I'm on the edge of having things work, and that gets you punished

...but I need medicaid in order to have insurance (and when you strip out the finance side of medicaid, I love medicaid... they're honestly incredible insurance... I just... I just... dental is like 90% of why medicaid is so important to me, ever since I found out this state pays for it I've actually been able to do cleanings which is important to me cause I can't always get myself to brush)

And I think things like disability and food stamps are pretty damn important on a personal level, and honestly are also good for the economy cause they get people spending... it's practically a free cash infusion into the economy, cause these are people who need to buy stuff

There's just so much important stuff welfare does that it's worth dealing with government

No, what I want is more accountability so if someone gets my SSN from a 3rd party like my mom they're held to HIPPA styles standards where that's not ok to access my files without my permission (She changed my fucking address and tried to get medicaid to investigate me for fraud! Never even met me)

Like have some accountability there and in every situation

Secondly I want less punitive focused rules. I'd frankly prefer bezos get on disability than smack down some poor sod cause they got $2000 in the bank or cause their friend lets them live with them for free

If there's gonna be a cut off on these programs, it needs to be a solid step above the poverty line, cause... by definition I assume poverty line denotes kinda the minimum expected income people can reasonably live off of, and if you take away benefits people are gonna lose a chunk of money to covering that stuff themself, so you need a buffer before you kick people off

I don't fucking trust the government for a second, I've actively been fucked by them and on a personal level I avoid everything but medicaid and only that cause everything but the money is pleasant to deal with and I kinda need it (honestly if I was rich I'm not even kidding that I'd rather give medicaid like $400 a month than some insurance company, I sincerely like them as insurance)

But I'd trust them a lot more if they were less punitive, less out to hunt me down and gut me cause someone handed me a fiver or cause I started to get on my feet, and if government employees had concrete rules they had to follow that were actually transparent and enforced

Like 90% of my problems with welfare go away if they're held accountable and there's less "catch the welfare cheats" mentality going around

I don't trust the government in the slightest, but sadly there some jobs it kinda has to do, so I'd just rather force it to be an open book where the public can keep an eye on it and if they step out of line there's consequences (sort of like I don't trust most mega corps but happen to sometimes need stuff from them... did you know literally every cell service provider has been illegally selling shit like your location data to random people like bounty hunters, and the FCC just slapped them with a fine that's 0.02% of their yearly incomes and debated even doing that? I even can offer a source on that)

...I don't trust much of any authority cause they constantly fail me and kinda screw me. Don't trust doctors either, but I still gotta go to them, you know? ...they're just... they're real bad at listening... so many systems need systemic change

(You know who I really don't trust is the cops. I could point to so many examples. My uncle doesn't trust cops either, and he's an ex Fire and SWAT paramedic, he worked with them and we still got into a long conversation where he basically tore into them far better than I can)

(I don't trust authority that's not accountable)
