Spent all week stressing about if we could pay the power/if it'd get shut off. If people are able to support me in any way I infinitely appreciate it. We were able to pay power but honestly no clue what we'll do for food for the next few days.

Thanks to my friends, I was able to get money for my meds. Any further contributions will go towards having a birthday meal of nachos and quesadilla on the 29th.

I have 5 days of antidepressants left and only $3 in my bank account so if anyone feels super generous consider donating so I can maybe afford a refill (they were $39 last time I got them, I am supposed to refill other meds too if anyone throws extra it helps) ko-fi.com/ariastarlight #helpsky

I live in a red state- so I get kicked off of Medicaid a few times a year due to failing to meet the 30hr/week work requirement due to fibromyalgia and scoliosis(and more sadly). I'd appreciate any help people could send so I can continue my antidepressants. ko-fi.com/ariastarlight #helpsky

Last night while trying to play some late night Coral Island I passed out in my computer chair and bit the crap out of my tongue.

So apparently those other meds WERE helping me out...

Too bad medicine is a luxury in this country.

In Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma you can get gay married and plant a giant turnip with your SO that grows into your child.

Now THIS is gayming

Noticing a weird trend where clips with no speech or text in them have auto generated captions claiming things are said like "Thanks for watching, I'll see you in the next video!" and I'm wondering if this is just me or if other people are noticing it.

Happens on reddit animal crossing clips a lot

Despite the pharmacy being covered in posters claiming a 30 day supply of meds is only $4, my antidepressants ALONE cost $30

The states where they dont have the healthcare marketplace get FUCKED, hard
Had to decline to pick up my anxiety meds, GERD meds, and blood pressure meds due to $$

I thought I could be a functioning human and make it without my depression meds for a while, waiting for a more financially opportune time to get them. Well, that day has to be today. Whether we can afford it or not. Cuz without my meds I'm sleeping 14+ hours a day just to avoid consciousness.

like its been damn near a decade and they are still acting like some video essay series about how tomb raider's massive cans are added just for eye candy and arent essential to her character really fucking changed anything.

Who's passing these bills bruh? It ain't essayists.

It is so wild seeing gamer dudes rail against supposed "SJW"s and blame them for the lack of video game breasts when we currently live in a world where the people banning access to porn are very openly the OPPOSITE of SJWs...

Note: I live in a RED state where VPN is required, sites banned access

No shit, if you whip through it in 20 hours skipping every cutscene you arent gonna enjoy it. Spend a day fishing. Appreciate a virtual sunset. Carry an umbrella over your SO in the rain. You are getting the credits and missing the point.

Aria Starlight @ariastarlight000.bsky.social · Jun 18

Played thru Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma and really enjoyed it. Saw lots of negative reviews early on but judging by the fact that 12% of people have completed the story and 3% have completed the hidden postgame dungeon, while only ONE PERCENT of players have played ONE IN GAME YEAR??

Hey All! I know everything is happening, so no pressure. Just know that Starlight and I are really, really trying to move out of a red state rn and any support (lurking streams, chatting, maybe even subbing?) is greatly appreciated.

WE LIVED BITCHES

Consider this a reminder to smoke responsibly, this fire that almost burned down an apartment complex was started by someone smoking and flicking a still lit butt inside of a carport. There were no human casualties.

Now to.... replace everything in the fridge and do laundry...

Woke up to the apartment complex on fire. If anyone can donate I greatly appreciate. Our place will be alright but we are displaced for a few days. Starlight is distraught.

Since Medicaid just got cut and I live in one of the states that opted out of the health insurance marketplace, I will at some point in the future run out of my psych meds. I'll buy them as long as my doc will refill them for me, as long as I can afford them. When I run out... I'll do my best
