help me move out of my tiny car and into a vehicle like this!

i'm disabled and homeless, and while i'm in the process of getting approved for disability, i need more safety and stability.

with a larger vehicle like these, i could have enough space to install a kitchen, bed, electricity, shower, etc, and essentially make a home out of it. if you've ever wanted to help house a homeless person, please consider donating to my fundraiser!

the goal is 10k, but vehicles like this sell for much cheaper! as soon as i can, i'll purchase a suitable vehicle and start the project immediately. i'll use whatever i don't spend buying the vehicle for maintenence it might need, the tools and materials i'll need to convert it, plus the legal stuff surrounding registration, first year of insurance, etc. anything still left after that will be used to just allow me to live longer and have a safety net while i get income.

this is something i've been dreaming of for a long time, and as the housing market gets crazier i've realized it's probably the only way i'll have a stable home. i've been researching this project for years and i'll have some helping hands, so your money will be used well to create a home for me.

we're on pace to get me into a van by the end of summer or early autumn, and i could finish the conversion before it starts snowing! this is way sooner than i ever expected. please consider donating, and/or boost this post to keep up the momentum!

The new dating feature... What to expect?

(Apart from disapointment, of course)

Disclaimer: I only bought this because I had a lot of Google Play points, so I could shave a looooooooooot of the total price, but my condolences to anyone who doesn't live in the US because it's a lot more expensive in another regions... Including mine, of course

Disclaimer 2: I'm not telling you what to do with your money, this Is my personal opinion. If you are planning in buying this, do whatever idc, but since a lot of people are having doubts, I felt that I might as well tell everyone what Is this about.

So yeah... Since they announced the new feature, I knew It either would cost real money, It just sounded too good to be true, but I didn't expect to cost $29.99? Almost $37 in my country currency, a total scam, really.

But to be fair to them, this Is a bundle that comes with 300 DP, and considering the price of 280 DP, it's almost like you get the ticket for "free", right?? At least that's how Solmare probably thought It would look like, but the reality Is that the common player will see this bundle and just think that this ticket cost 30 fucking dollars (just look at the comments of Twitter and the tag Right now). In my opinion, just separate the DP and the ticket, and have the bundle as an special offert If you want. Remember that selling stuff Is also about framing... Most players that were planning on buying this might not be planning on buying the DP (like myself, I don't buy DP unless it's on special offerts) so the only thing people like that will think Is that "why this ticket costs that much?"

But what you get in the actual event, you might ask? The trailer was vague as hell in my opinion, and that's an instant red flag in my radar, especially for that spicy art that came with it

For a ticket date you get:

A 1min call

A 10min storyline (not fully voiced, apart from certain lines in the las part of the storyline)

A Majolish background with the date art

The event starts with you calling you boy of preference (in this case, I choose Mammon) to invite him to a date, the call ends and you get a 10min storyline. The premise of the Mammon's date Is that MC has won tickets to Phantom Park, and then Mammon & MC get involved to a game of tag to win a price. Then couple shennigans happen, blah blah blah.

The Story Is... Not bad? I found It rather cute actually, it's romantic and at least they make It explicit that Mammon & MC aré actually dating, but again, this could very well have been in a Devilgram, it's not worth the 30 dollars Solmare expects you to pay tbh. Just tip your favorite fanfic author and call It a day

The last segment Is the one they show in the tráiler, with Mammon getting out of the shower

In this scene, some lines are voiced, and tbh, If the actual story was like this, It almost miiiight be worth It (not the full price, but at least something). But as now? Save your money people, I wouldn't really recommend It.

The only way I would recommend buying It it's If you're already planning on buying the 280 DP offert, or you have a lot of coupons/GPP so you don't pay full price lol, but If you like Lucifer (or Asmo) just do yourself a favor and buy the ASMR. At least, that's what I think

had a flare up start just before 3am and it’s still happening at just before 5am, slowly getting better but I’m still so uncomfortable and in quite a bit of pain. idek what caused this one. I guess I’m sleeping insanely late tomorrow and I’ll fix my sleep schedule next week. 🥴🤘🏻

anyway follow for more hot financial advice* that will always boil down to "any person or app that claims they can easily fix your entire financial situation is a scam artist, and they basically only work if you're already financially well-off enough to not need them"

*like maybe once every 10 years

Omg omg omg omg omg omg don’t mind me but I’m freaking out a little bittttttt 😱🤯

some wheelchair storytelling - or, why it matters that wheelchairs are properly custom fit to their humans

we've had our current wheelchair for 4.5 years (and the power assisted wheels on it for 3 years) - and a month ago we got measured up for our new wheelchair (we can't self-propel any more due to fatigue and slippy joints so the new one will have joystick driving)

and during the speccing process for the new chair, we noticed an option with this new brand for an extended frame for tall people*, where they make the front end stick out a bit further and the down tubes to the footplate a bit longer too

anyway this got us to noticing that our autistic brain had made the unilateral decision that the "correct" way to use a wheelchair was with your feet properly on the footplate, so until now we always have tucked our calves in so that our feet rest fully on the footplate (pic 1)

but now we were wondering what it's going to be like with the new, extended frame, so we've started putting our heels on the footplate instead of our whole foot (pic 2) - and not only is it way more comfortable for our knees not to be so scrunched up, but it turns out our entire body frame is more stable this way, and puts less stress on our lower and upper back too

and as you can see, the difference is maybe 10 cm/4" forward, and it really improves our experience of sitting long term (we do still need the new wheelchair or we'd feel really bad about this)

the point we're making here is that small differences in a mobility aid you're using all day can make huge difference to comfort vs fatigue, pain, and actual damage

this is for those people who say "why does your wheelchair have to be so expensive? red cross sell them for a few hundred" and sure, if you're only using it for 30 minutes at a time, that might do, but bodies have specific needs

*we are 189 cm/6'3", and more significantly our femurs are 20"/51 cm which is ludicrous

Apparently I'm a "bad leftist" because I won't kill all of the special needs animals I care for with a friend. Because I "won't make hard choices"

will you also be donating/selling your clothes? ( just curious, sorry if you answered already ! )

no prob, I haven't answered this one yet!! so, I'm probably going to try and get a lot of my Newly Loose clothes altered? before I consider hocking them. also, I was really STUFFING my tits into some of my clothes to start with, so they may fit me even better now, not worse! there are alsoooo definitely certain pieces that I wanna hold onto more tightly than others. but if I've got a pile of dresses/tops that are too big and I don't wanna deal with fixing them, I may make a post to sniff out if anyone wants them.

Anyone got recommendations for like relatively cheap forearm crutches that are also like made for daily use? Ideally ones with closed cuffs that swivel because my shitty collapsible cane is no longer cutting it (and also it's bowing real bad)

While there are things to criticise mash for and those conversations are important to have some of what I read can be explained very easily by reminding yourself

It was a TV show

On a budget

From years ago

From America

Written by a variety of human writers

Who used characters and plots to tell stories

Within a certain number of minutes
