Hi, all. Things seem to keep getting bad again. My house is flooding! Again! and we're going to have to replace our water heater and make repairs to our floors/pipes/walls due to water damage. I hate to ask for help but I won't be making any money from my new job until late April and its kind of dire.
I also have art open at a 35 per cent discount if anyone would be interested in that as well!
Shares are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!
Update! We were able to get an assessment and its actually going to be less than the original goal by about 100 dollars!! Which is a blessing for sure but any help is still appreciated!

I did not meet the deadline set by my landlord so I am now homeless. Because of this, Roman is gone, my animals are gone, and I still need my proof of citizenship paper to even get the new place to live. It's $291 left for the citizenship document. I was able to find an apartment that will accept me with the prior evictions that is $700/ month with $700 down payment ($1400 total to move in, yes i did research last night just in case of this haappening). I'm doing tarot readings as always and @scarsofbeauty & @saturnpandora are doing art commissions. Reminder that my i.d and social security card were in the wallet that was stolen so chances of me getting deported w/o official paperwork is high and i have applied to various agencies for help but am waitlisted. pls share to help an afro indigenous person get safe and housed!
$1576 left for proof of citizenship and place to live. My tent got slashed and i got attacked last night so pls keep sharing.

TL;DR: Steam just made library sharing so much fucking easier and so much fucking better. Instead of login-trading, it's just a simple goddamn invite.
Hello! We are excited to announce Steam Families, available today in the Steam Beta Client. Steam Families is a collection of new and existi
Read this. Really. It's a good read. Because it shows that, full-stop, Valve isn't just doubling down on their stance to make sure that people can and should be able to share their copies of digital goods as easily as they can physical ones, but they're making it better and easier than ever.
But you know how Steam allowed you to, with either friends or family, link accounts with another person to be able to establish an ability to share game libraries with one another? The general gist of Steam Family Sharing was that, with a limit of five people plus you (six in total) on a limit of ten computers total could share account access to willingly mix your libraries. You could play theirs. They could play yours.
This was a huge boon. It was meant to emulate sharing a physical copy of a game. A way to allow children to play games their parents or siblings had bought without having to fork over double the cash to buy it a second game. But it had some major limitations and drawbacks, and was archaic to use.
If a person did not share the same computer, you had to manually log into that computer to give it and the accounts on it access. This wouldn't be a problem if both accounts were used on the same computer, but many households (and astronomically more family and friend groups) had multiple computers, all used by different people.
If that computer, at any point, was hard reset to any point before the sharing occurred, you lost access. And had to do the whole process again. This was also an issue with computer transfers. The whole kit and kaboodle needed to be redone on upgrades. On top of that, the old computer is now just dead weight that you may not realize you have to manually revoke access to.
Putting your account information on another person's computer opens up security issues. They could, intentionally or accidentally, land themselves on your account if the login information was stored. Which could easily lead to purchases or bans you did not want to happen.
If anyone was, at any point, playing any game on their own library, you had no access to their games. Even if it was a totally different game, you had to wait your turn as if waiting for their computer to be freed up to sit at. (Admittedly this is kind of like the "mom said it's my turn on the xbox" meme, but hey, kinda archaic.)
You could not choose whose library you accessed a game from. Not at all. It always prioritized the first library it gained access from, DLC access and multiplayer be damned. If another friend you were accepting games from had more DLC? Too bad.
And yet here we are. Steam Families Beta fixes EVERYTHING about the above issues. By just going through Settings > Interface > client Beta Participation and clicking onto Steam Families Beta? You get:
No more login sharing.
No more computer links.
You can now choose which person's library you borrowed from.
And you can play any other game from someone's library, even while they're in-game. It just needs to be a different game than what they're playing.
Pick five people. Invite them to your family. And now everyone has access to everyone's library. My goddamn library went from 150-ish to almost a goddamn thousand in ten minutes of setup.
Account sharing and password sharing are dirty words that "lose" billions of dollars. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Max. They aren't game storefronts, but they still allow you to access massive libraries and scream like you murdered their firstborns for daring to share your password with your mother after you moved out.
Microsoft tried pushing to demonize and undercut used games sales and borrowed copies of physical games. Remember the first attempt to reveal the Xbox One? People forget, but these vultures tried to make an always online console that checked to see if you were the account that owned the game, even if you had a physical disc, and prevent access to the disc's contents if you weren't the original downloader.
Valve walked the fuck up.
Valve tapped the mic.
And Valve dropped the fucking thing right onto the ground with one feature's revamp.
About the only issues I can see with this are twofold:
If someone sharing your library gets banned from a game's servers... so do you. No one else in the family does, but the both of you do. This is... rather unpleasant, because banhammers can be dropped quite frequently by mistake. I'd urge Valve to rethink this one, but I see the logic: don't cheat and effectively bite the hand feeding you. Still making me side-eye that, though.
If you leave a family you've joined? You have to wait a YEAR to join a new one. It's to prevent people form jumping ship to another group and screwing over who's in the former one in the process, but a YEAR? OUCH.
Problems aside, though... it's probably the biggest fucking power move I have ever seen a media distributor make in the current economic climate. It's the kind of thing that would let so many new games be available in a way that's easier than ever. Just a few clicks to send or accept an invite, and bam. Permanent access to dozens or even hundreds of new games with so much more freedom than earlier drafts of the system.
It's the kind of thing that slaps you in the face with positivity after so many Ls from the games and media industries. And I'm all the fuck for a W like this.
You're also forgetting the part where it's region locked so everyone in a steam family HAS to be in the same country. This is a complete fucking pain for any kind of long distance relationship/friendship.
so tired of making posts asking for mutual aid but it’s that time of month where my partner and I are out of money and (almost) out of food, and have lots of doctor’s appointments to go to, so im asking for anything if you can help out
im really sick this week, and would appreciate money for medicine and food i can actually stomach 💔 i have two doctors appointments tomorrow as well and need to get there somehow
i am once again asking you to support and donate to freedom oaklahoma, a native-based organization for trans and gay rights in the same state nex benedict was murdered.
🍉🇵🇸 A thorough FAQ and purchasing guide for eSims for Gaza 🇵🇸🍉
This document contains information about the eSims for Gaza iniative, answers to common questions, a constantly updated list of which eSims Connecting Humanity is currently calling for, and screenreader-accessible instructions on how to buy an eSim, find and send its QR code, see data usage, and top up the plan, for every app and every desktop site.
To my knowledge this is the only guide of its kind. Other guides are not screenreader-accessible, only include information about one or two apps, don't include information about topping up, don't include screenshots, or are out of date.
