#food and rent funds

[relatablepicturesofyuukoaioi]

Hi there everyone! Things aren't going so well for me financially and job hunting is going poorly, so I decided to open pay what you want Yuuko/Nichijou Ko-fi commissions! I like running this blog and any doodle requests will get posted here to help keep the blog running (along side the usual queue). If you can spare anything or tip, it would be very much appreciated! <3

we are missing out on a huge opportunity for Jason Todd to be a force of Chaotic Good

#red hood #jason todd #look if he's the protector of crime alley and Gotham's downtrodden #I'd expect a lot more effort put into destabilizing the systems that keep people down #burn down the payday loan place and replace it with a nonprofit equivalent with a 0% interest rate #subsidize an afforable grocery store because you know that place is a food desert #buy up the slums and remodel them to be safer and cleaner and healthier without increasing rent #put up needle exchanges and safe-injection sites #ban cops from setting foot in the district without a warrant #ban stop-and-frisk #ban cops from schools #FUND THE SCHOOLS #put everyone on triple food stamp benefits #free medical clinics and dentists every 3 blocks

#the struggles of working from home means great ease in most cases but you ust fight the temptation to procastinate bc ur on the clock and #shit has deadlines #anyways tho my nonprofit was able to donate 34.5k to colleges all around the state so they can start initiatives to feed homeless people a #and do environemtnal clean ups and get transportation for thier students to volunteer at food pantries!!! #and one college is actually using the funds to rent a space so their students can volunteer to teach ESL high school students english #yeha

🚨Please stop scrolling — Mutual Aid Request 🚨

I started a new job this week! Yay!!!!!

However I need some help. You see between now & when I get paid, I don’t have any source of income for things like bills and food that can’t be put off.

I need $300 this month for help with expenses that I can’t postpone until after I get paid.

(Originally it was higher, but Twitter helped me get a little over halfway there. I forgot to post here too for a bit. I’m putting off everything that I can afford to until my first paycheck, which should be at the end of the month.)

CashApp - secretladyspider

venmo - secretladyspider

PayPal

Please reblog!

If more people see it, there’s a better chance someone who can help even a smidge will see it too. That’s why shares matter. So if nothing else, please reblog! It makes a difference, I promise.

Thank you for your help as I get back on my feet. 💛

Yes, Universal Basic Income. But Universal Basic Sustenance and Universal Basic Housing first. Otherwise, a Universal Basic Income very quickly becomes Universal Basic Business Subsidy

#This is not at all a criticism of a UBI #But consider what happens when business know that everyone has a certain amount of money #*and* they still control access to basic necessities like food housing and healthcare #Their ability to make a profit is derived from the scarcity of those things #otherwise we wouldn't put up with shit conditions and pay #If they can set the price of those things they can create artificial scarcity and self correct #Like here in NZ the anecdote goes that student allowance went up one week #and rents around the unis went up by the same amount the next week #it's the state funding businesses unless the state is in control of prices

I hate to do this. It looks like getting insurance & unemployment are going to take a little longer than expected. Every dollar helps. Today I had to cancel my next infusion. I’m not looking to cover that. It would be $25,000+ just for one. If I can stay on my meds until I can get insurance then I should be able to keep going until infusions can begin again. Just need to stay healthy & noble enough to find a job & get steady help again.

I love how my mom makes Growing Up Poor a huge part of her identity and talks about it constantly and also I, her child who she constantly brags about being smart and accomplished, am less than 6 months away from earning an Actual Degree in sociology and have taken half a dozen classes on American socioeconomic strata and yet despite all this I still cannot convince her that people my age aren’t being poor on purpose

#scout talks #no mom cooking at home would not save my friend who works 60 hours a week money it would make her even more exhausted and stressed #and substantially reduce her quality of life while also forcing her to spend more money in other areas to save the time she previously saved #by mostly subsisting on convenience food #if you're so damn concerned about all the $7 lattes we're buying and apparently making ourselves poor with #then maybe you should try agitating for a higher minimum wage so $7 isn't worth an entire hour of work #sociology major on main #''people shouldnt go to college if they cant afford to go to college'' if nobody went to college who couldnt afford it no one would go #like if no one ever paid for college on credit - as my mom proposes - i would be the only person i know in college #and that's because i have a full ride scholarship and pay rent out of a trust fund #if i wasnt EXTRAORDINARILY lucky with the family i was born into and the resources available to me growing up #it doesnt matter that im clearly smart enough to go to college. it would not have been an option for me #you KNOW this. because you are my mother and are intimately acquainted with my situation #why do you think IM the poor one out of my friends? me the kid who again PAYS RENT OUT OF A TRUST FUND SET UP WHEN I WAS BORN #ill shut up now. killing and biting forever etc

6 months of unpaid labour moodboard

#@self if you thought that you can afford to go to uni without putting yourself and family in debt... think again bastard #compulsory part of the final year being doing a 6 month unpaid clinical placement which is legal btw wtaf #cant do my side job bc the placement + uni obligations take up too much time + im mentally ill and need the rest #depleted majority of my savings to afford rent so far #loans dont cover shit #entire family is gonna have to work extra to help me out #resorting to begging the bursary and funds people for financial help #i literally cannot afford my rent and bills next year without bursary and/or family help let alone food and other necessities #what is the point of uni anymore bro im 😭 #mmmm yummy exploitation #im so so sad and angry #unpaid labour.... for students.... IN THIS ECONOMY??? UOE die challenge #personal #og post

[cynical-cy]

might be a little late now but i think ive discovered what i actually need to do for a new year's resolution: teaching myself not to be a perfectionist

i constantly keep thinking as im working on comms (especially with new clients) like "oh god i hope this looks ok i dont want to give them something they don't think is good enough" but it's like. clients actively kinda know what to expect, already, and my process is literally sketch > payment > finishing so they already know roughly what the finished product will look like, it's just a matter of time to make it happen and the things i deem as mistakes and do over 1000 times probably aren't even perceivable to viewers

#cyspeaks #i am just super stressed about a hundred things and it'sreally eating into time i could be using to draw #then that drawing time is spent overthinking things that no one but i will notice #then i get stressed out all over again bc i really need the money and taking so long isn't getting rent paid any faster #not to mention i REALLY need to visit a dentist and a doctor but have no insurance and no money #and it's not like my parents can let up on rent so i can build a buffer cause the rent is high here #and my dad alone isnt able to cover it + food because capitalism fucking sucks #anyway i need to sleep i think #way too in my own head rn and it's showing #if push comes to shove i may need to end up crowdsourcing funds so i can actually see a dentist at least #that's the main thing im worried abt rn

If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!

It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.

It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.

You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.

Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."

#spilled ink #warm up #“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol #btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can #run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her #but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like. #ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone! #like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate'' #we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

i want to be out on my own already, but not having a job is literally killing me.

#whimper whimper #im also a little bit scared of like...what it would Mean to be alone like that #but its kind of what i want to try out for a while #and if it doesnt work out then ill find some roommates or something idk #i gotta set up a moving fund though. #and get enough to pay rent for at least 2+ months so i can job search #id like a minimum of 3 months but uughruhgh #being a little realistic #and this wouldnt even be like. food furniture etc. it would just be rent #GOD
