I went to push up my glasses…. But I’m not wearing them.

All I want for Christmas is the fall of fascism and $20.
Streamers and creatives: if you’ve gotten anything from Throne in the last few months or so…
Be sure to check that when you’re withdrawing your funds, it’s going to your bank not just sitting in a MassPay account where they are collecting fees.
(@mylawyerfriend.bsky.social has thoughts on those)
I realize I only come here in times of need.
I woke up yesterday to my entire bank account frozen. Levied. Gone.
I rely on student loans and scholarships. And everything I had to survive the rest of the year is gone.
Shares very very appreciated! 💜

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will
Sooo. Apparently I’ve been awarded “too much” financial aid and they don’t want to give me my scholarship funds — despite being awarded the scholarship.
…. Anyone want to give me $10k to make up for this? Kind of fucked without it.

“All it means when people say ‘you’re speaking from a place of privilege’ is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.” “^^^^^^ read it. Say it out loud. Keep repeating it until you understand.”
Sometimes it is a moral judgement of your closed mindedness or lack of empathy.
My cat, Kaija, loves being under the covers. But if I choose to lay down on top of the covers, her little brain cannot compute. So she tries to burrow in my towel, my clothes, under me. Some days I swear she would get into my skin if it was possible.
what an absolutely crazy day one fundraising!! we smashed our original goal of $500 and raised over $5000 in a single day!! Thank you SO MUCH to my amazing community and the streamers that joined me today!! 🍉
I also passed over $25K raised on @tiltify.com across all charity campaigns today! 🎉🎉
In unsurprising news: I had a cis straight white man tell me what is and isn’t privilege.
thebaseddad 16h If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now? michaelandwicket 12h Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers made jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened. And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.
I would like to report (another) murder.
Contemplating moving into the woods to paint, cook, read, talk to trees, befriend the wild beasts and cryptids, and never be seen again by mankind.
I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions.
Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy.

You can’t call yourself an ally and then platform a terf.
My dunkin oatmilk chai is trying to murder me. 😖
But how will the lizards get in now?!?!! 🦎
I cannot wait for September because I will finally be financially stable for the first time in like 6 months.
BIG day of apartment hunting and touring.
Will not be sad if someone spotted me some lunch money. (Otherwise it’s the meat sticks that LeftistAudiophile gave me.)
I miss her every day.
Today was a good day.
But.
So much stress with moving and school starting up. Financial stuff for the next 2 days.
My family’s trying to get the house ready for closing. But I can barely think about packing.
On top? This is the last place Tuija lived. And moving away is harder than I realized.
I am a massive bundle of anxiety and depression.
Today I got to pet an elephant’s ear.
And her armpit. 😂
Y’all. I got to hear cheetahs purr today.
Welp. Accidentally spent $150 more at GenCon than I wanted to.
Next year I need to only use cash.
(the “Rini is broke” fund is still at ko-fi.com/adorkble if anyone wants to help with groceries, gas, & cat food cause I did a dumb.)
Yaaaaaaahhhh. No stream happened. Cause I was just tired and enjoying some time to relax.
The “Rini is broke” foundation still exists. But yeah. Just focusing on work, apartment viewings, and getting ready for GenCon.
Awesome. I’m allergic to my lunch. This bodes well.
Welp. Yeah. Most definitely maybe gonna try. Caauuuuuse I had another automatic payment go through.
Only one more month then I get my student loans.
Might stream on Sunday. Quick little “fundraiser” for the Rini Is Broke foundation. (And I need a new air filter for my car.)
On top of this -- I feel like I should not ask for help because I'm going to GenCon.
We're conditioned that we cannot do "luxury" things while still struggling or asking for help from others.
Despite that it's already paid for & what I spend there will be minimal compared to my responsibilities.
