Hey guys… I hate to ask for this, because I know times are tough right now, to say the least, but I need help.

Remember the storms from last year that I talked about in my pinned post? Well, we've cleaned up a lot at my place since then, but the damage to the roof hasn't been permanently addressed yet, and weather experts are predicting an impending storm season in the Summer and after, while using words like "unprecedented," and "once in a lifetime." It's honestly got me pretty terrified, because that roof is still screwed, and I don't have anywhere near the funds to handle it. And with housing and rent prices in my area being what they are, I don't have anywhere else I can go, either.

So… I'm gonna include a link to the GoFundMe I set up, and I hope y'all can give me a hand maybe. Anything anyone can give would be massively appreciated, and even if you can't donate, it would still be a giant help if you could share the link around here and elsewhere.

Thank you so much.

It's fun when the robot character in the sci-fi show gets cut in half because nobody working on this type of media knows anything about robotics and you never know what you're going to find inside. Green printed circuit boards? Meat and viscera, but like in a weird colour? Just a shitload of goo?

[prokopetz]

I especially like it when the robot appears to have realistic musculature which operates via contraction, suggesting some sort of fluid-driven or shape-memory-based actuation, and then it gets dismembered and a bunch of random gears and sprockets go flying everywhere.

You're a sci-fi robot who just got cut in half by the Big Bad (don't worry, you'll get better). What's inside you?

Printed circuit boards (blinking lights optional)

Gears and sprockets

Endless bundles of wire

Some sort of translucent crystal

Meat and viscera in a weird colour

Random geometric shapes

The cut is mirror-smooth, like I was one solid mass of metal

It looks like... car parts?

I'm actually mostly hollow

Just a shitload of milky goo

Other (specify)

Cheese sandwich

Remaining time: 13 hours 12 minutes

I like to think my engineers foresaw the likelihood of my bisection and designed a clean break point with that in mind, leaving a small compartment filled with confetti

MUTUAL AID UPDATE: The roadblock is gone, the tarp is holding, and we have a clear path to a permanent roof! 🌧️✨

I have some some great logistical news regarding our housing crisis fundraiser.

The Breakthrough: We originally thought our attached, structurally unsound patio was going to legally trap us in code-enforcement limbo and block a permanent roof. But after talking to our contractor, we got a green light: they can re-roof the main living structure without touching the patio at all. This is a huge relief, because obviously, adding that work to this project was going to balloon the total cost considerably, all before any real work could even be done on the main roof.

The New Plan: We are officially splitting this into two distinct phases. Phase 1 is funding the permanent roof for the main house to secure our living space. Phase 2 (Stretch Goal) will be using any ongoing or extra funds to address the patio's issues later on.

Right Now: The commercial-grade storm tarp we had installed in June is holding, and handled the first big storm of the season with flying colors. We also now have a friend with carpentry experience helping us do basic, non-permitted maintenance on the patio, just to ensure it remains stable for now, and doesn't come tumbling down on us or anyone else.

Accountability: Every dollar spent so far has been securely connected via Stripe, and I’m keeping a clear ledger of expenses and any other loans we receive or pay back.

Knowing we don't have to fight a massive structural demolition battle of some sort, just to get a dry ceiling, is a massive weight off my chest. My mom, myself and our 14-year-old cat are safe today because of this community.

If you can spare a dollar or a reblog to help us hit our primary goal for the main roof, you are directly helping a vulnerable family achieve permanent safety. Thank you all so much.

Some of the people that are too agressive about "if you like it, REBLOG IT!!!" are just gonna make people not even click like anymore tbh. I saw an artist screenshoting the urls of the people who liked their art but didn't reblog it to be like "wow people cant you BELIEVE the audacity???"
