Tag yourself I want to be Sun Ra but I'm more of a Chet.

Again, thank you all so much for the help i've received so far. It's the first time I ask for help in the mutual aid comm, and everyone has been wonderful.

I spoke to the landlord about the three months rent I owe, and they are insisting on getting at least one month's rent before the end of the month to be satisfied. I'm planning on giving them as much as i've been able to receive this month, but i don't think it's going to be the full amount. Still waiting to get started on the job i'm supposed to start at the end of the month, so not many updates on that front.

If any of y'all can help, even a little, it will go towards showing my landlord i'm really trying to get the money to be square with them.

As on my previous posts, I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

Thank you for reading, and have a lovely sunday!

First, infinite thanks to the comrades who have contributed. You have no idea how at least having that bit of money set aside helped me motivate to not rot in executive dysfunction. You're all wonderful.

Some good news, for a change! Found a job that should tide me over for a few months while I put things in order a bit. The job should start at the end of January, and pays monthly. But at least i'll be busy and getting money!

If anyone can chip in with whichever amount you can, you'd be providing precious help. Thank you in advance, and have a lovely weekend!

EDIT: i'm a dumbass, i didn't put the details to send the money. I have set up a ko-fi account, where you can donate anonymously: ko-fi.com/izzysfoodtakes (don't worry about the first name and opsec, it's a new name i'm trying out but nothing to do with my real name), and I can PM you my paypal username if you prefer to use that.

My deepest thanks to whomever contributed, and to everyone reading. You have my gratitude!

I'm reposting my old post, because I still need your help with one month of rent for this month, any little bit will help me so much:

I've been using this handle since just about when the subreddit got nuked, and while I'm not a super prolific poster, some of you might know me for my posts on food history and philosophy.

A pretty bad year, income, physical and mental-health wise has led to me being three months late on rent. Things were pretty bad already, but I thought i could manage until my family back home (I'm an immigrant from the Global South) asked me for urgent help with money. I gathered whatever little money i had left and sent a remittance immediately. This, of course, left me with no money to even pay one month's rent.

Conveniently, the landlord has let me know that unless i pay at least one month's rent ASAP, i'm out on the streets. I am currently looking for any job that can tide me over while i get back on track, but things are kind of sedate in retail and other jobs around my area because of the new year. Some of my community around me have helped with groceries, but none of them could help me with the cash i need to keep a roof over my head, so i'm turning to you hexbears.

The place i live in is what keeps my fragile mental health still going, and I honestly don't know what I would do without it. If you can spare anything at all, I would appreciate it so much.

What has y'all experience with fidget or stim toys been? I'm getting assessed for ADHD, and it's likely i have autism, too. Today, during one of the ADHD assessments I mentioned to the psychologist applying the test that I pick the skin around my fingernails constantly, and she recommended getting one.

Do they help, in your experience? Anything to look for in one?

Hi Everyone,

Gukesh Dommaraju won the title, becoming the youngest World Chess Champion in history, breaking Garry Kasparov's record. He played extremely well, and it's a very deserved result for him.

I was rooting for Ding Liren, and seeing him play such beautiful chess after being away from the board for almost a year due to depression was especially inspiring. I wish him nothing but the best, and I'll keep following him in future tournaments.

The ones on jumble.top are broken

Ty!

So, a very talented friend of mine is having an exhibition of her art at a small town close to where I live. Its a 30 minute drive, but 2 hours on public transport, with 2 buses, one train, and a long walk under the summer sun on the way. Whatever, I'll sleep/read on the way, right?

so I show up at the bus station 10 minutes before the bus takes off, the bus arrives, and the driver gets off and turns off the bus. I think he's just going to the bathroom, to take a break, smoke a cigarette, whatever. Nope. He never returns.

I've now been standing at the bus station for an hour after the scheduled departure time, staring at the switched off bus, and fuming about how I have just lost 20 bucks because I missed all the other buses and trai (i had to buy the tickets beforehand), how now I can't get to the exhibition without being late for work, how I will have let down my friend by not showing up and supporting her, and how this wouldn't have happened if I just had a fucking car and wasn't a depressed mess who can't find energy to do anything until the very last moment, letting down everyone around me.

I don't normally get angry, but this whole thing has made me very upset.

Pretty good analysis of the movie, a couple months too late. K&S with another banger.

I haven't seen much western coverage of this disaster, so i figured i'd share. Solidarity with the people of Libya in this horrible situation.

Hey y'all, TrashcanOfIdeology formally introducing myself.

I picked the username right after watching the pervert's guide to ideology and before started having a string of bad to worse, to awful, takes.

I've been around since the time the subreddit got banned, and this community has really been amazing in so many ways. For example, I don't think I would've had the information, support, and felt as confident to realize I am/come out as nb had it not been for y'all. So, thanks!

A little bit about me:

• From the Global South, immigrated to an imperial core nation for a variety of reasons.
• I'm very, very into food. Almost obsessively so. Not only the act of cooking itself or the growing/preparation of ingredients (i love those, too), but the social, ecological, environmental, and philosophical questions around food, taste, and gastronomic culture and justice. I worked in professional kitchens on and off for several years, did a masters on food and anthropology, and since covid began I have been lucky to make a modest living as a food scholar and supporting food activists. I'll talk your ear off about any of that kind of stuff, so if y'all wanna talk food i'm your person.
• I love dogs, and will likely adopt a lil' puppy sometime soon. As soon as they come to my place, i'll introduce them to you :)

Great to make your acquaintance
