I’m running quite low on gas, which I need to run the heater and uhh *checks notes* move the car (which has to be done somewhat frequently until I get it registered) and stuff. $20 should be enough, because this is a tiny little car that gets good gas mileage.

I also need a can of something colloquially referred to as “fix-a-flat.” I have no clue how much that will cost, but my guess is around $10.

DM me for my CashApp/Venmo (if you can’t figure it out), or for my friend’s PayPal.

I also have a few more requests for things that are wants rather than needs—or rather a request, because I forgot what the other one was.

This summer I lost my leather jacket—someone either stole it or threw it away, along with almost everything else that I owned at the time.

Two years ago someone very very special to me gave me my first leather jacket—specifically a motorcycle jacket, the kind with the weird little pockets and a belt. I safety-pinned a hammer and sickle onto the back, wrote “ADDICT” in white paint marker above it, and on the lapels, “I will never be/A real girl.” And then I fucked it off. It took me a year or something like that to find a leather jacket that I was happy with. That was the one that was stolen/thrown away.

Prices vary—there are 5 vintage/consignment stores in walking distance, each with a unique score on the Bougie Scale. But the price range I’ve observed is roughly $50-$100.

Also:

I’ve been leaning on this comm a lot since I created this account one year ago. You’ve helped me a lot, but I don’t plan on being dependent on this website forever—that just isn’t sustainable, and it gets old, if it hasn’t begun to already.

I am actually getting close (I think) to launching my blog/media empire, which will diversify my portfolio, you could say.

And once I register the Scion and get my license, I can start doing DoorDash, and probably other bullshit. I could have that done in as little as a month, maybe.

Thanks for all your help.

I assume the fix-a-flat is for one of the tires installed on the car. Be aware this is an emergency-only fix, and it not intended to be used long term. The proper fix is to take it to a tire shop and have it repaired/patched. It costs more to have the fix done (25.00+) but is the proper fix. The tire goo will throw the wheel/tire off balance at higher speeds.
