Here’s the long version of what I already posted about: I’m having to share my laptop with my dad on a daily basis. Up until now, my laptop has been my safe space, as it’s been just my own for a very long time.
Unfortunately, because I’m having to share, it’s no longer so.
I’ve been terrified to the point of panic of him finding something that could get me outed, or something that requires an explanation that would out me in the process (like my tumblr, where I don’t hide the fact that I’m gay). I don’t know how my parents would react, but I’m afraid of being kicked out of my own home, and I can’t just tell him no because he scares me and basically demands that I share. I can’t even make him a separate user, because I don’t want to make it look like I have something to hide. I’ve obviously been careful about covering my tracks, but I’m a paranoid person by nature, and I would rather be safe than sorry (and homeless).
Which brings me to this fundraiser. I’m hoping, if the goal can be met, to buy a laptop for my parents (they both share one – it’s technically my mother’s but she barely ever uses or needs it), so this one can be mine again and I can have some peace of mind. I don’t have a job (and no license or car, which also complicates getting a job), so I’ve been relying on transcription websites to earn some money, but with having to share my laptop, the time I have to work on them is also cut extremely short, which is why I’m turning to you guys for help.
Now, I don’t really expect handouts or charity, so I’m willing to do any kind of commission in return – graphics, themes, coding, and also actual art. I only ask for patience, though, because with limited time (and safety) on my laptop, I don’t really have the peace of mind to work on them as much as I’d want to, but I’ll gladly put in my share. In addition, my girlfriend is volunteering to do basic amigurumi too, in case you’d rather something physical, and she can provide sample photos on request.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Hey, I’m just adding onto this to say that I am the aforementioned girlfriend offering simple amigurumi commissions to help with the fundraising. You can contact me here if you want more information, the ask is open and I’ve got plenty of yarn on saved up to help out. If you can’t donate, please reblog to help out my girl.
