hi guys! i get anxious doing this and it’s why i haven’t been here but i’m struggling to make ends meet right now. my sister was the victim of a hit and run and she’s the one i split all my expenses with including rent. i’m struggling with my income alone since she’s going to be off work for two months if not longer

if there’s anything you can help me with, even if it’s just for groceries or to commute to and from work so i can get home to her faster! my venmo is graveyawns (i also have a paypal but since it’s my personal email, would rather share in dms)

thank you so much and sorry for posting this 🥲‼️

[hawkgyrl]

my sister has made a gofundme!

[mcflymemes]

remember that this is always a slow time for the rpc. as we get deeper into the holiday season, remember that people are finishing classes and taking big tests. they're slammed at work or taking on extra jobs to pay the bills. people are stressed about money or family, figuring out flights or trips, dreading the colder weather, struggling to put food on the table. some people are experiencing more dark outside than light, which might mess their schedule up a bit. some deal with seasonal depression during these months.

when your dash is slower and quieter this time of year, and when less people are liking your posts or sending memes, it doesn't mean the community is dying or we're all headed for the end times. i understand that less interactions or less support might be discouraging, especially when some of us are already dealing with the doom and gloom of darker, colder months and the stress of the holiday season... but please don't turn around and scold people for their inactivity or their lack of enthusiasm. don't get fatalistic about the fate of this community and declare it prematurely dead. this period of time always happens every year. now is not the time for unfair expectations. now is the time for kindness, generosity, understanding, encouragement, and love. now is the time for "take your time with replies," and "talk to me if you need anything. i'm here for you."
