*tries to organize my thoughts*

*remembers i'm not in school and therefore beholden to neither heaven nor hell nor any man's grading system*

*joyously shredding & tossing all my carefully arranged 3x5 mental notecards into the air like so much beige confetti. raising my arms in victory, cheering raucously until i accidentally inhale bits of homemade confetti*

(*coughing up itty bits of paper like a cat evicting a hairball with a firm understanding of tenants' rights*) wait wat happens next

It's really hard for me to ask this, but would anyone be able to help me financially get home from work and a doctor's appointment this week? I'm already taking the bus as often as I can, but there isn't one that runs by the time I get off work, and I won't be able to get home otherwise. My next paycheck is expected to drop on the 15th, and I currently only have $5.26 in my bank account. I would really, deeply appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

The fact that "broke college student" is a stereotype in the US is indicative that there's a problem.

its so weird seeing posts that mock uncle jim for worrying about li ming's queerness as though his dead boyfriend's parents (legally) stealing his entire life savings and leaving him to manage a restaurant business specifically because gay couples aren't legally recognized as couples wasn't what put him in a cycle of crushing debt and endless poverty in the first place

I love being told that the help I'm given means I owe something to the person who helped me 🙃 Like don't help me, then.

you have to go to uni otherwise your life will go nowhere why would you go to uni these days the trades are dying we need more people in the trades no no we don't want more women in the trades we need more doctors nurses teachers so you have to get a degree or multiple degrees why are you complaining about debt you chose to do this you have to get at LEAST a masters degree because bachelors are basically useless they're handing degrees out like sweets these days you shouldn't go to uni if you can't afford it you have to get good grades at a level to get anywhere wait you don't want to go to uni? then what the fuck do you expect from life? student loans are fine they're not like other debt the highest student loan debt is £230,000 you'll be repaying it for your whole life there are so many useless degrees they need to get rid of them STEM is the way to go why is art and literature and music so bad these days the top earners at unis are on six figure salaries your student loan interest will go up year on year and btw we are really looking for someone with a higher level of education for this entry level position

Getting fired on Yom Kippur while I’m on my period during my marathon taper there has to be a law against that I thought we cared about mental health in society now

fundraising for palestine!

if you feel pushed to help palestinians with donations after the ICJ ruling as well as the news that many western nations have paused funding for the UNRWA, i hope i can give you a little incentive.

send me a screenshot of a donation you made to a mutual aid fund or charity for palestine (here's a link to a tumblr post with a variety of different funds/charities), and i'll post a piece of cc for every $20 raised. i'll stack the amounts donated, so if four people donate $5 that'll count as one piece of cc!

if possible, please make sure that your receipt screenshot has a date in it. and if you made a donation earlier this week, feel free to submit anyway! i'll count everything back until 1/21/24.

(also, if you made a $10 donation to esims for gaza you can get a piece of art from the cartoonist cooperative)

thank you if you decide to make a donation!

Total: $62

it seems the general consensus is that no one will hunt me for sport if i use what's currently in my accounts to get the car repair out of the way (and hopefully pay down the last bit of that that'll have to go on my credit card) before i am even able to schedule the surgery

and then just put the surgery on the credit card after and hope for the best

I'm so proud of myself about finances in the past couple months. I still struggle with money but I did enough meditation and journaling and practicing about it to make myself able to actually face my loans and credit cards and savings and bills and start really truly organizing and addressing them for the first time in years instead of just flying by the seat of my pants.

Like. This is a huge deal for me. I've felt like I'm in deadly danger every time I've tried to think about money for years and years. I'm finally able to look it in the face and stare it down and start to organize and plan on purpose instead of just keeping up with the minimum to stay afloat. I'm so proud of myself.

It's still a refrain of "GUILT (funny link)" every time I think about money but I'm able to actually make spreadsheets and face the numbers and monthly tracking again, and even make a new full budget which I haven't been able to do in ages.

still feel guilt, overwhelm, and helplessness, but no longer feel as much deep elemental shame and terror. that's progress baby

So much music. So much music. After nine years of lost activity, I've been reinvesting in classical music. It's been great fun!! I'm wanting to do all the things that I slacked on even when I was doing a composition degree - score studies, performance opportunities, etc. I am trying to remind myself that returning for another music degree is a bad, bad, highly implausible idea.

✨ 🍼 💐

✨ Retired Bradley, Jake climbing Command

Can’t help feeling his mouth go dry at the still so broad shoulders, thick bare arms. But it’s the soft tummy, covered in a thin line of dark hair leading down to the low riding pink shorts that makes him damn near choke on his own tongue. Jesus fucking Christ.

“I know you don’t like me,” Bradley murmurs softly as he stares down at his cup, waiting for his tea to finish steeping.  “I didn’t,” Jake agrees as he drops down onto the stool opposite of the older man. “Not so much now though.” “That you’ve got my full, sad life story?” Bradley looks up, flashing him a grimacing smile that looks strained around the edges.

💐 serial killer Jake - hangster

“So,” Jake starts, lips quirking up into a smarmy smirk, as he lets his eyes drag up and down what he could see of Bradley’s body, “how about Friday night?” Eyes flickering up, Bradley shoots him a questioning look before dropping his eyes back down to where he’s cutting up limes for the bridal party that had ordered Tequila shots. “Friday?” “Me taking you out, honey.” “No,” Bradley cuts in, pausing as he takes a breath before tightening his grip on the knife as he gets back to carefully cutting. “No, Jake. You gotta stop asking me, man.” “Why?”

i might be short on my college payment

sorry for the big red text but it IS kind of important. hello gang, my job keeps cutting my hours and my college payment for the curriculum that i'm no longer enrolled in is due on the 19th, they won't refund me anything for my withdrawal, and unfortunately i am almost $250 short and i know i will not make that amount of money from my job alone in the 2 weeks between now and then. but. i do commissions!!!

↑ that's my art, by the way, just for reference. you can find my commission info in this carrd right here if you're interested. literally anything will help right now, i don't want to have to ask my family for money at the moment considering the fact that this is my financial responsibility. even just boosting this is greatly appreciated
