I don't think it's because I (think I) missed taking my meds this morning. That's just hrt meds anyway. I take my anxiety med at night because it makes me drowsy.

Out of curiosity how bad is my anxiety when I have my phone on the table and it vibrates which made me jump and eek. Like it was unexpected.

Shortly after I was on my pc and it did a bidooo pop up notification and THAT made me jump.

Wtf is wrong with me?

I just received a 24 hour shut off notice on our cell phones. The bill is $680. Losing cell phone service would mean the end of my job search, since no one could call me.

I’ve decided to cut off Twitter/X for my mental health, and may take a hiatus from streaming. Not sure yet on that one; it’s my only source of income rn. I can’t afford to suffer burn-out. (self-inflicted)

Please support my Ko-Fi. It’s all I have until something clicks.

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood.

Unacceptable in America.

These posts have been shared around 40 times in three days, and not a single lead has materialized.

Which, fine, that’s kind of what I expected. The job and housing markets are crap right now, and BlueSky has never been as good as the old place was about getting any emergent need met.

UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO CARE:

I will be going to San Diego this evening, where I expect to have internet access and short-term shelter. This is, however, a short-term arrangement, and for several reasons I suspect finding work, healthcare, etc. in San Diego will be more challenging than in many places

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

I love how my bank tells me I'm in the negatives so nicely and just suggests I should add money to get it out of the red.

I do thankfully have overdraft protection. But yeah, I need help now more than ever

I am once again out of grocery money because my life is a disaster. I would appreciate some spending money but there are probably people who need it more - I'm facing the danger of debt, not death - so only if you're sure. ko-fi.com/millie55148

Kimiko - Scavenger Hunt
A color drawing of Kimiko looking worried and crouching down and pointing at something on the ground with her right hand. She is wearing a peach colored top with lace fringe, a blue skirt with lace underneath, black socks over her knees, and several colored paper bands around her left wrist. Piro stands behind her wearing a brown flannel shirt over a red and white tshirt that says "RWBY OMG MMD", large headphones around his shoulders, and jeans. He is holding his sketchbook in both hands as he looks at Kimiko. In the background we can see power poles and wires, a couple buildings, and a bamboo scaffolding holding up a corrugated roof with a cat peeking over the edge to watch them.

Honestly I'm feeling pretty doubtful about this, but can someone help me please with $50 for the grocery trip we are doing later today

My girlfriend I live with just started her shark week, & I want to make sure we have the extra noms for her as well

Also this $50 won't be a part of the base goal

That said, I've had no movement the past few days. I'm thankful for a $10 dollar donation but it's stalled since. As tomorrow looms and I have to raise $425 by tomorrow has my anxiety acting up.
