We're getting evicted

We're getting evicted from our apartment, apparently because of damages that my mom's ex made.

I'm disabled, because of that, I need constant care 24/7. Not having a house is dangerous to my health.

We don't have the funds to get a new apartment, so I'm calling for your help. I have a Ko-fi, which is the primary place you can donate.

Anything helps, if not monetarily, please share my message.

i feel like we dont talk enough about how distressing and disturbing memory loss issues are. forgetting what you were talking about halfway through a sentence, putting something down and instantly forgetting where you put it. having to reread one paragraph over and over again because by the time youve moved onto the next sentence you dont remember what the one before it said. always doubting if your memories of things are real, not being able to remember important life events.

its so incredibly scary, it feels like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you and you start to doubt whats real and what isnt.

“i forgot” is treated like a lazy excuse when it’s genuinely such a big issue for so many people.

Can someone please tell me how to start learning code to prepare myself for going into computer science next semester? I don't know anything about coding or programming. Exact step by step instructions, please. Or is this a losing battle? Please LMK 🙏🙏

Hi! I've been programming since around 2016 (around 8 years), and I have helped multiple of my friends to learn how to code. The best thing that will teach you how to code would be to start a small project (An Atari breakout clone, a simple Discord bot, etc) Things like codecademy aren't great for most people in my experience, because they don't teach you real-world uses for the knowledge. Meanwhile, having a project to work on will teach you the basics of programming and allow you to get a deeper understanding on why things are done the way the are. There's no "step by step" instructions for learning programming because of how complex of a subject it is. It'd be like asking for step by step instructions on how to play Minecraft.

Hey, im having some issues with the switchykit mod for Minecraft. Trying to import my pluralkit but nothing seems to be working/ nothing shows up in chat after doing /pk import link, got any ideas on what im doing wrong?

I haven't touched switchykit's codebase in a while, I've moved on to other things since my free time is limited.

Palestinian women and girls are actively being denied uterine and gynecological care. they have to use tent remnants as tampons and pads. they’re also getting infections as well. israel is actively denying them humanity. they have 0 access to care they need.

Palestinians, both Arab and Jewish, lived peacefully before 1948

Controversial take but I think the people that create the art and media we enjoy should be able to afford to eat. 🤷

Controversial take but I think capitalism is the enemy to art. 🤷

Can we boost this one until it reaches the Oklahoma City Tumblrites? This seems like something this website could rally and solve. Help save all this genetic information? I messaged them to offer to consult with the entymology lab near mine to see if they could store the bugs with us, but they are VERY far away and would have to drive long distance to us.

Free Palestine.

We're living, in the western world, fighting for the rights of gay people, of black people, of trans people, of indigenous people, of disabled people, yet we're ignoring those in countries outside our own, and allowing hate to foster.

How can we expect the same for ourselves, when we won't fight for everyone's freedom, when we won't fight for everyone's life?

By not taking a stand against the actions of Israel you are telling the white men in power that they will get what they want.

Free Palestine.
