ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

I really hate to post something like this on an account called uke-zone, but there's not much choice. I'm going to be homeless in a month.

For the past 2 years, I’ve been stuck in a toxic job because I took the first one I could get without reliable transport. I’ve been working as a web admin, making $14,400 a year. My rent is $12,360 a year, not including bills. I scraped by, constantly stressed, and exhausted. I lived alone after leaving an abusive family environment, so I just kept going.

Four days ago I was given a termination notice—the day after I refused to violate FCC guidelines. They wanted me to add a static list of customers to an email list, without allowing them to unsubscribe, and I couldn’t let myself be complicit or get hit with a $5,000 fine.

No savings, no support system, and no cushion. I won't survive the next month if I'm evicted. There is just straight up nowhere to go.

If you’re able to help me keep a roof over my head while I continue the job search, please drop a $20 or the most that won't hurt here: paypal.me/Ymukhopadhyay

In Texas, unemployment takes at least 4 weeks, assuming no disputes, and with my employer that's not happening. Rent is due. I’d be eligible for $143 a week, which... isn’t even close to enough to keep a roof over my head or eat. I couldn’t pay one month of rent if I tried. I'm looking down the barrel of being homeless again, and would frankly rather be dead.

If you have any need for a web developer, designer, or multimedia content specialist, I'd appreciate any support there as well, whether through projects or referrals.

I need to survive the next 30 days to not be constantly on the verge of losing everything. Going back to living paycheck-to-paycheck with no security and no safety net isn't an option. I was terrified one mistake or one bad turn could leave me with nothing until it did.

If you can’t offer help, I understand. But if you can, I'm begging in random tags on the Internet because I don’t want to be homeless again.

GoFundMe, if PayPal isn't an option

Thanks for reading this. ❤️

Do you have a "favourite" physical trait to give to your OCs? If so, what is it?

Drawtober day 13: -? ???

No prompt for this one, just honoring my recent identity crisis with some art. Some melodramatic context under the cut:

This past week I discovered that I am autistic, and I spent my entire life covering up most of my personhood to keep those around me happy.

smiling constantly, keeping a "polite" tone of voice, saying what I believe is most agreeable rather than what I actually believe, "dumbing" myself down... all of these actions have led to detrimental impacts on my mental and physical wellbeing. My entire life, I felt like I was playing the role of a human, rather than accepting that I too, am a person. Just wired differently.

I have always seen it as "safer" to isolate myself from society at large, to the point of moving to the middle of absolute nowhere. The older I got, the more I felt like a pacing, caged circus animal made to perform. My hatred and resentment for society(tm) at large grew, and many times I sought to completely abandon every good person in my life, so I did not have to "pretend" anymore.

There are so many roles in life I do not understand the point of. Why am I expected to do and say certain things because of the parts I was born with? Why must I fit the narrative of what makes other people comfortable? Why must I make eye contact for my words to be taken seriously? Why do I have to change myself to be accepted? Why don't I feel things the same way as other people do?

I can't do it anymore. If people are made uncomfortable by my lack of polite, agreeable femininity, then they are welcome to pound sand. Looking at my life through the lens of being autistic felt like the final missing piece. The keystone to my sense of self worth. I am not bad or wrong. I do not owe anyone an explanation of who I am in order to exist and be happy.

For the first time in my entire adult life, I am not pretending, and nobody can take this from me.
