sometimes there&#x27;s art

more succinct update: my parents and i have discussed a couple of possible options to have me move in w them temporarily to both get me out of this shitty complex and eleviate some financial struggle and stress for the both of us, she charges me less than half of what paying now in rent in exchange for indefinite room and board basically just until federal funding returns to our state. i still have 2 different listing agents at separate companies messaging me occasionally to help me find a suitable townhome rental in my price, but this would still be the most expensive option.

as my mom and i keep talking and trying to work out option 1, general consensus is to try and find a suitable/affordable place before november to move in to early november. to then be ready at least somewhat settled and ready for hernia surgery by mid-november to then go recover in new secure place for the rest of the month

a deeply stressful development in trying to survive until my lease is up is new property management dropping support of the cares act via email to say they can now, upon one missed by 1 day rent payment, immediately begin 5 day max eviction proceedings instead of the standard 30 day notice, so soon after they change all the complex rules around rent payments and implemented their own "tenant portal" where my mystery monthly rent costs arent even posted until the 1st, the exact same day rent is due around the complex, while i USUALLY get my disability pay at this point on the 30th, i make less than $5 an hour and giving me a single day to both learn how much my rent is for the month and scramble to cover what im short on with my entire paycheck no longer covering it while im actively trying to move out.

i would deeply appreciate any at all financial or resources help to move or even cover what im short on, or if theres any help or resources out there that can help or anything i as a renter can do atp to potentially just break my lease just a few months early and leave much much sooner for my own health and safety without then having to pay the current landlord thousands of dollars and destroying my credit just so ill be unable to lease another rental should i leave and require it or go to court for the next 4+ years and lose housing anyway? :')

general situation update and help post because i am losing it. im a disabled trans man that has been financially struggling for a while around some serious medical issues and interpersonal circumstances, i was homeless in 2023 and have been trying to get back on my feet ever since, but have really struggled with skyrocketing energy bills and grocery costs. I make $940 a month that is capped by the federal government, while my rent for my current 1 bedroom now averages at $1125 a month minimum and I cannot keep up, my mom and step dad have a possible solution for the time being that would be indefinite but also way more stable and much cheaper for me not only in terms of paying less than half of what im paying in rent now but also moving costs in general, and have made a gofundme to help cover the costs of this possible option as i have to figure out something by november, there are more details on the fundraiser itself here

if you enjoy my art at all or like what i post, and would like to help me move, i would deeply appreciate it. i am unable to work a typical job due to disability, the constant stress and tenants rights abuses on top of costs i just cant afford anymore, my financial well being is worse than its ever been and, and the constsnt hustling to cover rent and bills is taking a serious toll on my already unstable physical health.

i do not like the waiting game but i currently have 2 different listing agents at separate companies helping me out to find a suitable townhouse rental as my mom and i work out the other option, writing up a more indepth update on gofundme specifically, but general consensus is to find a suitable/affordable place before november to then fully move out in early november to then be ready for hernia surgery mid-november, and i am stressed

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

Anyway that’s why you wear wool and a life jacket babeeeyyyy

The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

If you’re allergic to wool, synthetics are available specifically for this purpose. I know I always say natural fibers are the way to go, but when it comes to safety, wear what protects you!

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!

Again, both are only possible when wearing a life jacket!

I know a lot of people are reblogging this for writing reference, but I like to believe that 7,000 people on this site were actually continually living in fear about this specific situation and that when the time comes, I’ve prepared them with what they need to know to survive.

sorry to make another post like this but im disabled and after the cuts to medicare and food stamps ive been rly struggling with supplies and bills around trying to leave my current apartment complex by november. my lease expires in november and with my fourth new management company in under 2 years ripping out all the trees and amenities while doing some shit i think is illegal including but not limited to revoking tenants ability to see their itemized bill for rent and instead just sending us out a number that is WAY higher than my rent has ever been, and a few days ago removing our 3 day grace period to pay them by the first, the same day the physically post our rent for us to see for the first time, i just really really need to get out of here

new management is doing this in a situation where i am already seriously struggling financially on a federally capped and mandated $5 an hour (only about $960 a month to live on and i lose any and all health insurance, perscriptions, or just any scraps of benefits in general that help me survive day to day should i ever make federal minimum wage at $7.25) and experiencing some rather serious health issues ive sought help for, for many years and am going to need a surgery for that would keep me in the hospital overnight for recovery for at minimum 2 days to actually treat a serious chronic gi issue ive suffered with for over a decade, and doing all this around trying to find affordable housing.

rn im spending nearly all my time jumping between different kinds of appointments both about the surgery and abt various housing and financial issues around town, hustling small side jobs or chores for other ppl to make ends meet, and currently left waiting on a hopefully approved letter from insurance to get the surgery i need done while juggling chronic illness and appointments around serious financial trouble and a deadline to move out of my current apartment by november. after many emergencies, rent/bill increases, and higher costs, I have no savings left to actually afford to move or even find a place in my price range. for the moment im trying to focus at least on keeping up with basic groceries/supplies and ride fare to keep said important medical and professional appointments as i figure out moving, many of these appointments were scheduled weeks to months in advance and will have an even larger wait time should i have to reschedule them around a lack of ride fare.

i only just barely managed to pay rent on time around new rules, and am still waiting on my electric bill to post, but currently only have about $14 left in my account for abt 2 weeks to cover supplies and would really really appreciate any help that could be spared with ride fare or food and meds please :’) especially meds like adderall and testosterone

cats being capable of understanding accidents and even giving you a little head bonk to let you know you're still cool makes it infinitely funnier that they don't understand when you're trying to help them

cats when you step on their tail: i'll admit that was rather ouchie, but given the lifetime of goodwill and trust between us, one must conclude this booboo is but a fluke.

cats when you try to get their claws unstuck from the couch covering: this nefarious bitch has never had a single honorable intention in their dishonest and shameful life, this must be one of their sinister plots or perhaps even an attempt on my life,

Kitties dont relly have Breeds like doggies do but they have special types like Weird Baby, Angry Head, Sleeper Fatty, Yappy Meower, Orange, Sweetie Playful, and The Creep. If you collect them all, well. You will probably have too many kitties.

b0nkcreat

you can collect them like pokeymans

Wow this is actually a perfect drawing of some of the types of kitties. Thank you

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

sorryy to remake this :') im disabled and after the cuts to medicare, getting cut off from food stamps i only got $60 of for the month anyway, and my fourth new management company in under 2 years at my apartment ripping out all the trees and amenties while doing some shit i think is illegal including but not limited to revoking tenants ability to see their itemized bill for rent and instead just sending us out a number that is WAY higher than my rent has ever been, in a situation where i am already seriously struggling financially on my federally capped and mandated $5 an hour (only about $960 a month to live on and i lose any and all health insurance, perscriptions, or just any scraps of benefits in general that help me survive day to day should i ever make federal minimum wage at $7.25) im experiencing some rather serious health issues i am (at least trying) to get help for and am going to need a surgery that would keep me in the hospital overnight for recovery for at minimum 2 days, and spend all my time jumping between different kinds of appointments around town and hustling small side jobs or chores for other ppl to make extra cash or selling old belongings to all around a debilitating chronic illness that has gotten worse enough to need surgery; i have a long untreated/dismissed and worsening hiatal hernia causing uncontrollabledaily vomiting, constant abdomenand chest pain, and. a lot more. its caused a decade+ of severe pain and daily vomiting, lethargy, and recently really dramatic and unhealthy weight loss.

i am currently waiting on a (hopefully) approved letter from insurance to get the surgery i need done, while juggling chronic illness and appointments around serious financial trouble and a deadline tonmove out of my current apartment by november while i, as of right now, have no savings to move or can even find a place in my price range, all of which being really stressful and scary like constantly. for the moment im trying to focus at the least on keeping up with basic groceries/supplies and ride fare to keep these important medical appointments, many of which were schedules weeks to months in advance and will have an even larger wait time should i have to reschedule. the buss system here is just not really accessible to me 90% of the time, and while sometimes friends or family can yive me rides places, they are also often busy. as of right now i have a GI follow up about the hernia next Wednesday, those ive asked or too busy, and ride fare to get to that side of town and back would be about $45, and after paying a couple more bills and for the refraction test + lenses and frames yesterday bc i currently dont have glasses and cannot see but need to, i have 84 cents total left in my bank. any help with ride fare or supplies would be really really appreciated :')

If I lived in a space opera universe I wouldn't want to be a protagonist. I would want to be someone who stands around a crowd scene and has one line referencing backstory we've never seen and will never see. I want to step forward and say shit like "conditions have not been this bad since the Zhavolian plagues" or "this does call to mind the darkest days of the B'Vash crisis - and I need not remind you how that ended" and then everyone would murmur in agreement. Like they know what I'm talking about. Even though no one does

helpful tattoo reminder: they are technically Injuries so u have to eat a lot of calories drink a lot of water and sleep a lot after so your body can Heal The Injury

another helpful tattoo reminder: the 24-48 hours after you get a tattoo your brain can not be trusted in regards to whether or not you should have gotten that tattoo, if you have somehow ruined your life, if it turned out ugly, etc. ignore that

finally, while i am at it: always bring a candy bar and a sugary drink to your appointment for blood-sugar reasons (worst case scenario) or so you can have a treat (unilaterally applicable)
