Ok so I'm taking a genetics class right now and in lab we've been given fruit flies with different mutations that we need to breed over the course of the semester.
Now, first thing I learned: fruit flies don't eat fruit. They eat yeast. They eat the yeast on fermenting fruit. They can not actually eat fruit. Their name is a lie.
Secondly, one of the two mutant lines I was given to cross are flies with the apterous mutation, aka they're wingless. I feel so bad for them, they can't do the one thing they're named for, they cant fly.
And then I realized. My fruit flies are in truth insects that eat yeast and can't fly.
Anyways, I've been calling them my yeast crawls and I am their god now.
NASA putting mice in zero-g environments is one of the funniest fucking tests anyone has ever done and I hate having to hand that to them. Put those beasts in a situation.

Hi, everyone. I would prefer not to ask for help for lots of reasons, but I am kind of… John Williamson needs your support for Please help m
Hi, everyone. I know this is, uh, not typical for me, and I would prefer not to for lots of reasons, but I am kind of desperate right now.
I have been struggling for years to hold an in-office job. The past few I've tried for, I've experienced multiple severe panic attacks on the way to, at, and returning from work, and have been forced to quit or been fired, with the most recent incident being this past September. Recently my docs have diagnosed me with agoraphobia (in addition to the already-known depression, anxiety, and being on the autism spectrum), which they think I've been suffering from for a long time without realizing.
I've applied for help from the state, and for short- and long-term disability, but none of it is in effect yet. I've been trying to doordash to make enough money for rent and other costs this month, but that's been stressful because of the uncertain amount, as well as.. driving around to places and people I don't know. It's been very difficult. I'm also applying for as many remote roles as I can find, as newly-listed as I can. Lots of these roles are fake and/or already inundated with hundreds of applications. So this has been difficult as well.
My family is, at least right now, unable to support me through this. But I really, really don't think I can survive losing my apartment. It is my space. I do not have uninvited eyes on me here. I am free to be myself. If I am forced to move back in with my mom, or worse, to become homeless, I will lose my safe place. I will lose the space where I'm comfortable being loud and silly in my friends’ Minecraft RP server. I want to recover on terms and at a pace that will help me rather than hurt me, and find a remote job that suits me. And I am afraid that I won't make it that long. I am afraid I will not make it past this month.
I do not know what the best avenue for this is, and I worry that I'm asking without having really earned the right to, but I need to ask for your help.
Between doordash and whatever money you can part with, I need to make around $1100-$1200 USD in order to pay my bills and rent.
Please do not feel obligated to contribute. Please also do not contribute if doing so would put you in any financial trouble. I do not want you to sacrifice your well-being for mine. Any help that can be provided is extremely appreciated.
Additionally, if anyone has any leads on legitimate remote work – I have a great amount of experience in clerical and administrative roles in a number of industries (law, insurance, education, etc.). If you know of any opportunities, please, please let me know!
We've already reached a little over a third of the goal! Thank you so, so much to those who have already donated and spread this around. It is deeply appreciated. I'm floored by the support.
