losing my job in november (for having adhd!!) destroyed all the financial gain I’d been making and now i can’t even get a simple personal loan. just $1000 would change everything but noooo

it is very nice to be going to work at a job again and also my new job has a lower hourly rate than my last job so I am already somehow $500 short of my bills and I just got paid. anyone need any editing, proofreading, writing, or citation work done?

i have been BITCHING about #AnimalControl not returning yet and it turns out season four has already aired three episodes?! i’m a big dummy lmao

i would cut off my hand for a warm chocolate chip cookie

it is insanely difficult to find a good hot apple cider in this city. we are in WASHINGTON. there are apples EVERYWHERE

i’m supposed to make a $400 payment in two days and i don’t have it. i am looking for work - if you need social media support, editing, proofreading, audio or video editing, data entry, or anything similar, i am available!

thought I was going to finally get some good sleep and then got a 2 am email that i was denied unemployment benefits for last week because i missed an appointment and it was the final hit. the last six weeks have been excruciating and exhausting and i feel positively broken

my eyes are so tired and I am like half functional but I am writing??? so we are powering through

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

did i sleep at all last night? i truly have no idea

holding my life together with silly putty and super glue and it is dicey i gotta say

the way i would die for a $1000 personal loan right now

This message hits hard.

my sister got me this book [“The Riddles of the Sphinx: Inheriting the Feminist History of the Crossword Puzzle” by Anna Shechtman] and a book of Sunday NYT crossword puzzles for Christmas and I’m STOKED!!!!

merry christmas ya filthy animals

if somebody could just magic $500 into my account that would really save my ass 😩😩

i’m working a part-time gig and receiving unemployment for hours not worked and i make too much for food stamps? this country is a joke country

i have not slept well or eaten well in a month and yesterday i felt the cold so deep in my bones that today by body said “no, sorry, absolutely not”

i do not know what to do when someone hits on me. it’s something that didnt really happen in high school because of my body type and now when it happens i feel like a bumbling idiot.

you guys my sister is fucking incredible. she is amazing at her job. she bakes. she has her life together. she is so much of the reason i have survived this last year and i can’t buy her a Christmas present. i can’t afford food so presents are out of the question and i’m SO MAD.

i’m working a seasonal gig at a Christmas market and my biggest fear was running into one of my coworkers from the job i’m on unpaid leave from. it just happened and it was 100% fine. as usual, my brain overthought the hell out of it.

truly an amazing experience to apply for a job, get a response, and then immediately discover it is a scam. incredible.

still looking for seasonal and temporary gigs or even something longer!

i was SO CLOSE to feeling like i could breathe again financially and now i’m out of food and out of money and i just wanna

i am $180 short for my rent thanks to this mess going on with my job, so if anyone needs a writer or editor, data entry support, audio or video editing, transcription, or even someone to place phone calls for you between now and December 4, i am available for work!

asked for an accommodation for my ADHD and was put on unpaid leave until the accommodation gets “figured out.” if anyone needs a writer, editor, or social media consultant, or needs help with any kind of project (data entry, returning calls, etc.), i am suddenly avail.

does anyone know how to hug yourself as tight as humanly possible because things are not great right now and it’s the only thing i can think of that will make me feel better but i cannot order it on the internet

i was supposed to finally be able to buy Christmas gifts and celebrate the holidays and not feel like i’m in financial hell this year but instead i am on the brink of financial hell again and I’m SO MAD

a guy asked for my number at a bus stop last week and i said yes and we’re still talking and he seems very nice? and he asks questions about me? am i hallucinating??

“you need to sound more confident on some calls. even if you’re not confident, just fake it.” i am currently in a training program that suffocated my confidence three weeks ago but sure thing, will do. (also, i thought i waaaaaas 😩)

this ⬇️!! Katie Wilson’s run did not have anywhere near the press coverage Mamdani’s did but they are truly companion wins. the left has bookended the country and that’s *important*

so i’m eavesdropping on the two women behind me as they talk about books and movies and yes i DID interrupt to tell them that the editor of The Perfect Neighbor just won a Critics Choice Documentary Award hahaha

at @townhallseattle.bsky.social for the @elysemyers.bsky.social event tonight!! very excited to dive into her book later, too.

thrilled for this city!! i cannot wait to see what katie accomplishes.

thackery binx, my beloved

it is annoyingly difficult to surprise people when you are rapidly running out of money for your trip home

when a caller refuses to give their location and says “just send the police!” it takes ALL of my strength not say “send them where, to the moon?”

!!!! Yes, @wgawest.bsky.social, we love you.

tbh, huge props to the guy who called to report a shrub on fire and then said “i don’t know” when the fire department asked how it caught on fire as if he was not partially being drowned out by fireworks lmao

sorry haha this app has inadvertently become my wallowing place because no one in my family is on here but i promise i am not always such a sad sack

would love to not feel like my father’s afterthought, hahahaha

hey if you have any level of spending problem do not download whatnot you will spend too much money too quickly. just have heard that, do not have direct experience with it, *obviously*

this day feels one thousand years long

“going back to work will be great, you’ll be around people more and it will feel so good to earn that money” it has been almost six months, i am fucking exhausted, and i want to know how to become one of those spouses who does artistic things while the other one works because this SUCKS

why is everything so expensive i just want some pizza and for groceries to cost less we live in a nightmare

a truly iconic image from the national spelling bee!!!

“oh, what would you like for your birthday?” “here is a thing that would help me function” “great, how do we make that happen?” “here’s how!” *crickets*

i finished “sunrise on the reaping” last night and it was so incredible so i figured i should go back and try “the ballad of songbirds and snakes” but the vibe is off, you know what i mean? it’s not a bad book or anything, it’s just not the right follow up to haymitch’s story.

the first person to train me at my job says “ready freddy” a lot (all the time) so as a thank you i got him a personalized lapel pin that says “ready freddy” and apparently after i gave it to him yesterday he was showing it off to everyone and it makes me feel all warm inside
