Daily OpusEverything I write is freely rebloggable. Just keep the source and tell people about my books :D [Until I decide otherwise, my pronouns are Ze/Hir/Hirself. As in "Ze went to the shops to get hir medication hirself". Thank you for the respect.]
DON’T FORGET FLINT: The people of Flint, Michigan still don’t have drinkable tap water, and Little Miss Flint wants to make sure people don’t forget. She’s running a fundraiser to sell 1,600 “Don’t Forget Flint” shirts aimed at keeping awareness of the water crisis in Flint fresh in people’s minds.
All of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards giving Christmas to the children in Flint, as well as to anti-bullying programs in Flint.
Is there a place where an impoverished Aussie can listen to the latest live show? ‘Cause I’m seeing a few spoilery things that I’m not up on for stuff I haven’t heard yet.
If you’ve followed me for a while you probably already know. But for those who don’t, here’s what’s up.
My roommate lost his job for a while and put us months behind on all our bills. He finally found a part time job but it doesnt pay enough for anything. Then his mom had a stroke. And now he’s moving in with her. Leaving us even more in debt. Cuz even tho he wasnt paying what he owed us he was at least able to pay for some groceries and help with a small bill. But when i confronted him about paying me more or moving out he tried to kill himself and then went to an asylum until his mom came and got him. From ohio. Now she’s gonna move to illinois to be with him. Groovy. But I’m still in debt. And he’s still gonna get a settlement for his damaged eye but he’ll be long gone by then and all the money he promised won’t ever appear.
So i had my other friend from work come stay with us. Cuz his roommate got fired and didnt even try to find a new job. So he kicked him out but then he couldnt pay all the bills by himself and his hours got cut and now he might be fired next because we have to share my car and when i work 5-midnight and he works midnight to 7am, how are we supposed to do that? It takes over an hour to walk here and its on a highway.
He has been dropping me off at 5 and coming in at midnight and then i go home and sleep for a few hours and come back to get him at 7 but its killing me and i havent had a good rest in ages.
My van needs a new wiperblade motor and right now i have no wiper blades and havent since like july cuz never enough money and i have to fight so hard just to make rent. Which is 650. My checks are only 500ish. Until my checks start getting docked from a hospital..
Our electricity was off for almost a week. We lost all our food. We dont have trash service anymore so our house is filling up with garbage and flies and roaches and mice. We have 5 cats and 3 arent fixed and 1 of them is a boy so we have to keep him locked up so he dont knock up the other 2 until we can afford to fix him.
Also my stepdad has been fighting cancer and had to have a huge operation so my parents cant even help me. Idk what im going to do.
We are in a serious situation that i cant figure out how I’m ever gonna come out of alive. I keep having panic attacks. I havent been able to get my paxil because i owe the hospital 3000 and im afraid to even make an appointment. Im stressed out of my mind. And someone at work told me my new roommate is on the chopping block because they’re gutting hours. ????????
So if anyone can help out with a few dollars I’ll definitely put it to good use i promise. We need all the help we can get. Or we’re all so screwed.
Paypal.me/karae is the best way. Or share this and help me spread it around. Tumblr is my only hope. I just need to make it one more week.
If You’ve been around Tumblr a while, you’ll probably recognize the artwork of @modmad
Be it from her lovely dhmis work…
Or maybe from her gravity falls period…
Or maybe from osomatsu-san?
Or mp100?
Or perhaps you may know her as the person who singlehandedly built/revived the Magicstone tag and the Gladstone gander fandom
Or even from her thesis film, Skip
She even did some great work in the Steam Powered Giraffe and Ace Attourney fandoms, as i’m told
Why am I bringing all of this up?
Because mod is currently working on a kickstarter to publish a second volume of her webcomic, The Property of Hate!
As you can see, as of today, October 30th, there are only 9 days to go and we’re barely halfway there
Why should you care about Tpoh? Well, in addition to being a charming, heartwrenching, pun-filled and exciting adventure, it also features an extremely diverse cast of characters. The main characters are a young british-indian girl and her telly-headed guide (who is canonically pansexual, with both a girlfriend and an ex boyfriend appearing in canon). There are a wonderful pair of wives, a nonbinary main character as well as a genderfluid one, and all kinds of amazing twists and turns. Not to mention the art is amazing
Basically, if you’re not reading it already, you definitely should. And you should also help Mod make this amazing step forward into getting her story out to a broader audience.
I’m doing my own cover art for Beauties and the Beastly because I’m cheap and I don’t mind how long it takes. Plus, since I’m saving for a new compy, I save money on the cover art this way.
If you want to see the un-messy version, you can! For as little as a dollar a month, you get every last sneak preview possible of all my WIPs. My ability to have nice things is in YOUR hands!
…also my ability to keep writing novels whilst providing y’all with fresh, daily Instant Stories.
And there’s no telling when my Compy is going to freeze for the last time. So this is kind’a urgent to me.
Next Monday, I’ll be having a go at posting a progress video for Patron amusement. Help me out. You’ll get some good reading out of it.
Here’s the thing. The computer that I write most of my stuff on is slowly dying and it looks like it won’t recover. No matter how nicely I talk to it.
I need about $3000 to buy myself a new one. I’m currently up to $700. After a month of scrimping.
So if everyone who loves the strange things I write could go and sign up as one of my Patrons… I might be able to get that new compy so much sooner.
I don’t know when my existing compy is going to die. Time is of the essence.
Patrons get to view unpublished works of mine and revel in the mistakes inherent therein. For as little as a dollar a month, you can point and laugh at all my spelling and continuity errata. And hopefully tell me about it.
Then you might want to get into contact with me about volunteering to beta-read Beauties and the Beastly, a novel by my good self. 120000 words (average sized novel) of Victorian-era shenanigans.
Applicants must be able to get back to me with any flaws they find. Or a “loved it” type message if you couldn’t find any flaws.
And if you can’t do it, please signal boost for any of your followers who might.
Applications cease at the end of April 2017. Great thanks.
Welp. So much for that social experiment. [Sorry @tubbypanda95 - I know you can pass the Turing Test]
Either not enough of my followers care if I block them… or I have a whole flood of non-thinking blogs following me.
I refuse to call them robo-blogs. Because AI’s can act like fellow cogniscents. And there are robots I know and love online.
Can I call them advertisblogs? Blogs that exist for the sole purpose of advertising something… Powers know what, because I’m not daft enough to follow them back.
They all reblog things, which is not really that bad. None of them reblog my shit, which is not exactly great. But I also have fully cogniscent followers who don’t do that so I can’t really weed them out on that count.
How can I find and isolate the junkblogs? Seriously. I don’t want the kind of followers that only reblog food, decor, and nails so they can spam their followers with whatever the crap they’re selling.
I want 300 real followers. Real people with real wants and a real love of my writing. I don’t mind if their blogs are _Eat Pray Love_ or _Live Love Laugh_ or _Aliens Did Everything_. Just as long as they’re real.
