nah but seriously if we're friends and you need an emotional support they during your run, I'd be honored to learn as much or as little of your run as you want beforehand. 💖

GDQueer runners if you're at a loss for who to have on comms for your run, in elementary school I was "a pleasure to have in class", so naturally I would be a great addition to your couch. 😉

now that I'm home I get to figure out what the hell I'm doing about this furlough, and the $900 in medical bills, and the maxed out credit cards, and the -$300 in my bank account, and, and, and...

sorry to be yet another person on your feed e-begging but if you have anything to spare, please help.

LONG TEEN PHASE
I love watching kittens stretch out like taffy and have uneven proportions for a bit while they work on becoming more cat shaped.

I will never forget the kindness of everyone who's contributed to funding my top surgery in February, or helped make it possible for me to continue volunteering for GDQ, or spotted me a couple bucks for some other reason in the past. I know I'm asking for something I can never repay, but I'll try.

If you're a stranger and you see this thread and you question its validity, first of all it's smart to remain vigilant and avoid scams, so I respect the healthy level of doubt! But I'm happy to verify my financial situation however I can. this shit sucks and I WISH I were making it up.

(before you say "oh it's probably a scam text" I assure you this amount owed is also in MyHealth, the app just won't let me screenshot it for obvious reasons)

💖empy💖 @empireship.bsky.social · 5d

...also I have a surprise $900 medical bill I still need to figure out why I have it in the first place when my health insurance deductible has been met but I'm certain the answer will still end up being the amount owed is accurate so that's real cool :|

my birthday is today! I am trying very hard to spend it not stressed out by anything and you'll probably see me posting like I have money to spend but I Really Don't and I know I don't gotta justify that to y'all but I wanted to be transparent that I do still very much need help

💖empy💖 @empireship.bsky.social · 7d

so uh

my birthday is on Saturday

and I have been furloughed for an indefinite amount of time and will be Super Fucked™️ if it lasts long enough for me to miss a paycheck

so if you are in a position to help, financially, that'd be swell.
