Everything is Fucked™

Several things have happened at once:

Last year I thought I got out from under years worth of emotional, physical, and (most prevalent here) financial abuse. My father took out several dozen credit cards and loans in my name and did not pay any of them back, and as they are "my" loans, my wages are, as of this year, being garnished to pay off the debt (upwards of $40,000 US). Given that I'm liable to wind up unhoused if the garnishment continues for more than a few months (and it is expected to continue for at least five years), I am attempting to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Due to the garnishment, I am unable to pay the lawyer in question handling the filing.

Car shat the bed. Even if I only fix the bare minimum, repairs wound up $700 more than I expected. Due to the aforementioned garnishment I am going to be in the red, and will only have less money to fix it with from here on out.

I can't even charge any of this as debt before filing because due to my ongoing bankruptcy case that would constitute fraud. I pay up front or nothing until this mess is over with. The car needs to be fixed before the filing goes through as well, because the minute it does my bank account will be emptied and anything I have that's considered an asset will be liquidated to pay off creditors, including the money that would have been used to cover repairs. Ironically, I will be permitted to keep my car.

I have $1900, and currently need $2638. If I can just get my feet under me to where I'm not pissing away any savings I get into a debt hole created by my father, I have a steady enough job that I'll be able to take care of myself, but I'm in a very dangerous position right now with a lot of things that are time-sensitive, and resources I otherwise would have been able to turn to are about to be gone.

My ko-fi is linked to my PayPal. If you aren't able to donate, please consider sharing. I know everything is tight right now, but any amount you can contribute would mean a lot. I'm sorry and if I can just get one month where nothing goes wrong and I'm not staving off three different sources of entropy at the same time I can hopefully never do this again.

You’ve heard of the Roaring 20s........

now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020

[heterokatedison]

is it too early or can we start screaming now

[heterokatedison]

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

I'm not from there & it's in the south

I'm not from there & it's in the midwest

I'm not from there & Texas is its own region

Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Voting ended onJul 27

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

what i say: i’m working on a fic!

what i mean: i haven’t written a single word about this. in fact i haven’t held a pen since 2015. every day when i take the train i maldaptive daydream about the possibilities of this fic and how the characters would interact, specifically when they have long intense heated glances across a busy room with enough raw yearning force to set off a jet plane and blueball me into oblivion. yes i have a ‘writing prompts’ tag for no fucking reason. no i can’t spell maladaptive

Hey Tumblr.

So I have had...several medical procedures this year. Two colonoscopies...the first as a checkup for management of Crohn's disease, and the second three months later because the first found inflammation in my large intestine and the doc adjusted my meds. Second showed improvement so that's great!

I have also this year, after a Lot Of Shit, been diagnosed with endometriosis. My left ovary, in fact, is completely encysted in a 9.2 cm endometrioma. In one month and two days I am having surgery to completely remove the cyst, which will involve completely removing my left ovary. (Righty is hanging on and being a model citizen so far, no cysts at all currently.) After going back and forth with my care team and considering options, I'm going to follow their reccomendations and also undergo a hysterectomy at the same time. Right ovary can stay for now.

This, since American healthcare is a hellscape, costs money. I've done the regular measures to reduce the bills, but they're still adding up. I've maxed out my FSA already for the year and still have about $4,500 to go before I hit out of pocket maximum for my insurance for the year.

So. Any help to defray medical costs...the ones already incurred and the ones I'm about to...would be wildly appriciated.

Help support Iowa Rambler by donating or sharing with your friends.

If you can't help, that's fine. If you can, I love you.

Just was able to pay off the balance I owed yet for anesthesia for the second colonoscopy, crying a little, thank all of you SO much. Still have the yeeterus appointment coming up so anything is still wildly and gratefully appreciated, but already this is a huge thing off my mind.

[systlin]

Reblogging this again as the Yeeterus appointment is in less than two weeks.

Thank you all SO much.

watching my promised afternoon thunderstorm slip from a 90% chance to a 20% chance.... baby come back i can change

[cottoncandylesbo]

ok i hate to do this but you might've seen a touch of my recent behavior. i would like to have a bit better control of that sort of thing, which means i have to ask for help. i am struggling to attend work and it's having a dire effect in my funds. i am being harassed by my parents and would like to achieve financial independence after recovering from years of constant abuse. i apologize for laying this out so raw but i also must ask for a bit of help in affording the medication that will allow me to work a normal 40 hour week and not need to ask further. a buck or two means a lot and i'll gladly draw you something.

thank you dearly.

i am sorry to reblog this so much, but my job just cut my hours a LOT. this is now a lot more urgent. i need at least $300 for my meds, and anything else will go toward rent and utilities.

thank you all so much for the help so far. i am more grateful than i can say.

$103/$300

thank you so much, please continue to spread this post around

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

we need to periodically remind everyone that a headline not including a person's name isn't an attempt to erase their identity from the narrative, it's just not good practice to put someone's name in a headline unless the reader can be expected to already know who they are
