jfc cool ya gr8. im being evicted

[germsauce]

ya so this wasnt the news i was expecting to hear right now, and right when i thought things were getting better too.

im gonna be picking up extra shifts at work but ive estimated that ill only get around $1500 by the time we have to leave and thats if i dont spend any of it (which ill have to. i have bills to pay, groceries, etc.) plus, im the only one in the house with a job right now so all of this lands on me

my commissions are open if ur interested in buying some art from me (pls note that since ill b working extra shifts, art turnaround might b awhile.)

if u can tho pls donate im so fucking stressed over this and dont kno what to do or where to go after this. ive got a month to figure it out tho so hopefully it all works out but based on past experiences im just terrified im gonna b homeless AGAIN.

anything helps, even reblogs

Letter to my future self:

Are you safe?

I love you, I hope you're ok.

The future is kind of scary.

I don't know you yet, but I will be a part of you.

When you see this again, I wish it'll be when things are much better.

Good Luck.

The hard truth about autism acceptance that a lot of people don't want to hear is that autism acceptance also inherently requires acceptance of people who are just weird.

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

Like it or not, if you want to be an ally to autistic people, you're going to have to take the L and leave eccentric, weird people alone. Even if you don't know them to be autistic. You shouldn't be looking for Acceptable Reasons to be mean to people in the first place. Being respectful should be the default.

I need to get a lawyer against my abuser and I can't afford it because I'm a single parent on disability. I also have other expenses I need help with. Description under the cut. Please, please help if you can.

I had to get a restraining order on the father of my child because he has been sending me death threats. A couple of months ago, he cut my pinky open, requiring stitches, and beat me very badly. The restraining order got approved for me but I have to go to court for my son to be able to have a restraining order for him and to guarantee full custody. I can not afford a lawyer when it costs more than what I make in 2 months.

I am still also having issues with my car. I got a few of them fixed (thank you) but I still have no power steering, which is hurting my body a LOT when I drive. I recently borrowed $100 from someone and had to spend $50 of it because my car's coolant hose came loose and I had to replace all of the fluid that came out. So I also need the money to pay them back too.

Your donations have literally saved me this year - you saved me from homelessness, made sure I had a form of transportation, gave my son a great birthday and Christmas, got me my meds when I needed, kept me fed when I lost my food stamps, fixed things around my house, and made sure my cats were always taken care of, and I'm so, so grateful. I finally found a balance of medication that works for me, so I'm in the process of trying to find a part-time job that accommodates my needs. In the meantime, I still can't live off of only $660 a month, with $450+ a month going to bills ($207 a month for rent (section 8), $100-120/mo car insurance, $100/mo electric, $50 phone bill). Making $200 last a whole month is nearly impossible, especially with the price of necessities and gas. I don't receive child support or any kind of support at all from the father of my child. I don't receive the monthly child stimulus either because my mother claimed my son on my taxes since I'm on disability, and she decided that she wanted to keep the money to herself.

If anyone wants proof of my situation, message me, I have pictures of what happened, screenshots of his first court date for what he did to me, voicemail clips saved....I really don't want to have to talk about all of that with a stranger, but because it's such a large amount of money that I'm trying to raise this time, I understand if people want to be sure that their money is going to the right place.

These are screenshots of what's going on from my previous donation post, which has stopped getting notes. I currently have about 20 dollars, and need help to survive through the month.

I'd like to put it at about 400 right now? And hope that lasts me, however if it ends up not being enough I may up the goal a bit if necessary. Thank you to everyone who has gotten me through 2021.

Remaking since despite still getting reblogs, my last post is no longer getting donos and i need them now more than ever. Our family has been exposed to covid, and we urgently need help being able to afford cleaning supplies to keep our apartment clean, food to eat, ppe to make sure that we minimize any chance of spread amongst the household, and funds towards getting our entire household of 6 tested. Additionally, i still need to raise $75 towards getting weed to manage my chronic illness symptoms, and most importantly, i need $110 to turn my phone on, as without it i cant call my pcp or my psychiatrist to meet+get prescriptions refilled, thus worsening my chronic conditions and making the need for weed money more urgent. Any help that folks can spare at all would help so so much.

Folks can donate here:

V: @/stemmonade or @Alix-March

C: $stemmonade or $VLier

Or donate to i or my wife's p*yp*ls (mine is here, my wife's is here)

We also have a household wishlist, which i will be updating to include ppe and other items we need in the house while we quarantine.

Thank you so much to the folks who have helped support us so far, anything folks can spare really helps!!!

i promise you this: whoever you're becoming, however much effort you're putting in everyday, whatever it is you're working towards outweighs the person you've been and the mistakes you've made. who you are today matters. you are not ruined.

long haul covid is now largely being called PACS. post acute covid-19 syndrome.

[mamoru]

some quick notes from the dysautonomia international conference about this, some things here may have been incorrectly written down because there was so much (register to learn more and get these presentations in full)

between 10-50% (some studies say 30-50%, huge range) of people who get covid 19 will have PACS, long term symptoms from covid-19. these are only estimates many patients going on a year or more. these are chronic conditions without cures even from very mild covid-19 cases. the diagnosis of autonomic and autoimmune conditions took years prior to the pandemic and more accurate numbers will be a while

many people notice start of symptoms ~4 weeks after infection

there is autonomic involvement in most cases of PACS

other viral conditions are associated with developing autonomic dysfunction such as sars and mers. POTS often has a viral trigger regardless of what it is

covid 19 involves loss of brain matter

age range is all across the board

the most common autonomic diagnosis is POTS

other common diagnoses include orthostatic intolerance, gastrointestinal disturbance

even with extremely mild covid-19 infection, long term symptoms and chronic illness are common. and by long term, 6+ months. many people stop being able to work at all

brain fog and memory problems are huge, potentially related to the loss of brain matter

there is widespread tissue damage throughout the body from covid-19

there is no diagnostic criteria for PACS yet

statistics estimate there will be over 10 million people in the US with covid-19 related autonomic dysfunction

all doctors should get autonomic training

if you have dysautonomia and develop covid you will very likely get worse, they do not cancel out. get vaccinated

there is an autoimmune aspect to PACS as well as to POTS, still being worked out. covid-19 may cause an autoimmune storm so to speak

a diagnosis of POTS currently requires 6+ months of symptoms, so there will be many more diagnoses as time goes on

there are not enough doctors to care for this influx of autonomic patients

there was a ton of cool information and this is only a snippet. register for the free dysautonomia international virtual conference for the entire presentations

[catelyngrant]

When this whole thing started I said that the word “dysautonomia” was going to become really familiar to a whole lot of people, and while I wish it wasn’t happening this way, the awareness and funding that conditions related to autonomic dysfunction are/will continue to receive is at least one small silver lining to this shitshow. POTS fucked my life to hell and back after I got mono 14 years ago, and things have gotten much better in terms of medical understanding/awareness but still have SO FAR to go. Doctors need autonomic training, and more people need to learn more about what these symptoms and experiences can look like so they don’t go through what I and countless others did - doctor after doctor telling us we’re crazy (in one case trying to literally lock me in a psych ward) until we finally catch some lucky break. (And that’s for those of us that have the privilege of seeing all of those specialists/getting that lucky break, lord only knows how many people never get a diagnosis and are left completely incapacitated or have to try to function in a completely nonfunctional situation!). Anyway, check out Dysautonomia International.

[cyanwrites]

I’m an ER doctor, and I’ve had patients die from PACS 4+ months after infection.

Insidiously, these cases aren’t currently registered as covid-related in my country since only mortality outcomes within 1 month of a covid-positive test are counted as covid deaths. So the actual covid death count is probably significantly higher than reported, and PACS is more dangerous than reported. Please be alert for respiratory or neurological symptoms if you’ve had covid in the past, even if you are “over” it.

[sobadpink]

👆

10% of our patients in my hospital alone return to the ER about 2-3 months after having “recovered” from covid due to complications caused by covid. They do not have the virus in their body anymore, it’s entirely from the damages sustained from being sick while they were fighting the infection. People in their 20s and 30s are needing blood transfusions from brain and internal organ bleeds. Lung scarring never heals and even patients who were healthy and athletic prior to infection are now at reduced lung capacity and will never be able to get back at their pre-covid activity level again. Covid is a co-morbidity that significantly increases the risk of disability and/or early death should future health issues occur.

For people living in the US as well, healthcare insurance companies denying coverage to people who had covid because these companies know “recovered” people are at least 10-50% at risk of PACS and they won’t take that risk.

(American health insurance companies are scum btw and I’m not supporting them - healthcare is a human right)

[23andmeme]

anyone with POTS and GI issues should look into mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) because the two conditions are closely linked

[remnantglow]

cant stop thinking abt ursula k. le guin’s essay abt the carrier bag theory….. she’s like, maybe the first human tool was not a weapon, but rather something that holds, a bag, a pouch, a vessel, something for gathering and storing and sharing. let’s shift the narrative of humanity from that of violence to that of safekeeping. and i’m like

[remnantglow]

and THEN she’s like, a novel is also a carrier bag. there’s the Hero’s story, sure, but there’s room enough in fiction for every experience, for every little thing, and it’s that other story, the life story, that she seeks……. o|-<

[remnantglow]

turns out the entire essay is online (thanks, Anarchist Library) and i really can’t recommend it enough

[rem-ir]

[greenjudy]

Highly recommended essay.
