I don't know Evan, but I know @tux-kate, who writes excellently and also gifted a not-insignificant amount of her time to beta the fics i wrote for naruto fandom back in the day.

We Help Us: The Return of Tux Thank You Fic

My friend Evan is in a tight spot and needs help: I’ve boosted their post before. Here’s the GFM link:

I’ll write bespoke fic if you donate and signal boost!

100 words minimum per $10 donated.

How's it work?

—Donate to the fundraiser linked above

—Take a screenshot of your donation confirmation dated February 14 or later.

—Redact any personally identifying information (PII)

—Signal boost this post or the GFM link somewhere.

—Tumblr broke my messages and replies, so email me at tucuxi 1 at gmail. Include the screenshot and a link to where you signal boosted.

—Give me 2+ fandoms, each with a prompt word, character or ship, and mood

—I’ll count each signal boost on a separate platform (tumblr vs bsky vs threads etc) as an additional $10 added to your donation.

Eligible Fandoms:

Naruto, Tristamp, Haikyuu, BSD, JJK, CQL, TGCF, SVSSS, Batfam, Utena, ...and anything else I’ve posted on AO3 in the past.

Let’s work together to get Evan the help they need to have a working car!!

#signal boost #donation #gofundme #As a rule i don't donate or boost unless I have a direct connection #so I'm sharing and adding on my bit of verification.

@bylillian, that sucks. I'll pass on any remote work info i have via dm.

To everyone else, Lillian is a friend from SGA fandom. She's also one of few fannish people I hang out with in person whenever I pass through her area, so i can confirm she is a real person and her post is authentic.

Lost my job. Again. (help?)

So, I was let go fom my contract job with Apple on the 7th. I applied for unemployment, as one does, even though the State of Texas’ unemployment benefits fall somewhere between “laughable” and “miniscule”.

Backstory: I worked for the State of TX until the end of October last year (one year exactly). During that year I a) suffered from bad depressive episodes and b) had major abdominal surgery (diverticulitis with colon perforation). I am still outfitted with a colostomy bag. I had many many problems with my team and team leads, which led to me being fired. 

Then they came after my unermployment benefits, after I had already received them. We had a phone hearling, and the judge decided in favor of the State (shocker) that I had no rights to my unemployment benefitts because I hadn’t done my job. Did I try to pay it back? No, as I was unemployed for another couple months and then I was frantically paying off past due mortgage payments.

And oh, yeah, I moved my BiL in with me. He’s my sister’s widower and was stuck in a trailer in Plainview TX with no car. (There’s also a month-long coma and a dead roommate in there.) He’s a great guy, but I literally haven’t lived with another human in over 30 years. (mental stress!) He gets some SS, and helps with the groceries and utilities.

Back to today: I was informed by the State of Texas, that oh, yeah, they’re garnishing my tiny unemployment payment to help pay off my ~5k of “ill-gotten gains” from my other unemployment payout. So now the only money I have coming in is:  $ from my BiL $ from a contract gig I’m behind on a gig job that starts soon but will be erratic  3 art/craft holiday shows in December

Back and hip problems keep me from being able to take any kind of stand up retail job. 

So if you have any leads on remote work, work in the Austin TX area, art commissions (I’m an enameler), or cat pictures, let me know. 

I realize I’m not some well-known Tumblr person, just an older fan who loves hanging out here. Anything helps. Venmo: @Lillian-Butler-1.

Current feelings: leather is dumb, people should wear only nonshiny clothing, also as i suspected people who can paint textures are wizards, maybe evil wizards??? Unclear
