why the hell would anyone willingly live in Florida

yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.

the constitution doesn’t matter anymore. i mean, honestly, i think the document is irrelevant and should be disregarded in favor of genuine progress, but members of the oligarchy are ignoring these laws to supplement their own terrible version of reality. they are making their own precedents at the expense of the American people. Trump has shown the country that if someone is powerful enough they can do whatever the fuck they want with the influence they’ve accrued.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.

thank you for commiserating. i am sorry you can relate. it seems a lot of us can. yes, budgeting is our next step actually. we are doing it together with my first paycheck.

edit: i already posted on mutualaid a few days ago lol i would feel scummy and abusive if i posted again so soon, but i appreciate the tip

i appreciate your encouragement to rest but i simply cannot. i am the one with money, i have a job now and need to play the game once again. nobody is allowing me to “rest,” it’s all about doing what is necessary to live and not be homeless or without medication. i can’t even handle that. my phone and my car are gone. who knows when i’ll be able to afford payments for either.

 

i couldn't find a community geared towards venting or posting about depression, so i'm coming here to empty my head. sorry in advance if this doesn't fit the comm well. if you're sensitive to depression i'd avoid my post tbh.

it took me two months to find a job since my last one ended in October. my bills became unmanageable during that time and my phone was shut off. yesterday, on my first day of work, my car was repossessed after i got home. i live with my partner and his mother and they fought about me the other day. i came home early today from work and got into a yelling match with my partner over something stupid. we have been together for 13 years. we know there will be bad and good times, but lately it's been nothing but bad, and i am the cause of a good percentage of it.

i have several mental illnesses that make it difficult for me to maintain support for myself. i am medicated and have been in and out of therapy. i've even been hospitalized for suicidal ideation. i am trying, i really am. i don't know how to balance the love i feel for my partner and "being responsible" financially. we are supposed to focus on expenses and bills first, but i cannot simply exist to work. that isn't life, that isn't living, i'd rather be dead. i will only get one life to live and i am spending it concerned about money and successfully navigating a capitalist hellhole. yes, sometimes i buy my boyfriend and i shit we don't need, but it's because we get to experience each other genuinely when we come together and do or use whatever i bought for us. i am creating memories, i am creating happiness.. but yes, it is at the expense of money and "good" decision making. poor people are allowed to enjoy life too.

but.. i don't know if my boyfriend sees it that way. he's told me that he cares more about being financially stable and secure, but the smile on his face when i get him something he wanted or i pick up some weed for us to relax together and smoke tells me that he needs a release too. he feels pressured to conform to the world around him, but he is also extremely disgusted by our world in much the same way i am.

idk. i have felt like a leech and a failure my whole life, and now i have lost my phone and my car, and have no money until my first check. i spent what i had on gas for a car that was taken from me lol. now i'm sitting here broke and without much of anything, and my boyfriend and his mother seem to think poor of me as of late.

i'm tried. i really am exhausted. if i don't wake up tomorrow the world would be doing me a favor. i have begged to die in my sleep before only to unfortunately wake up and be forced to exist yet again. maybe tonight will be different.

the $40 sent my way has been used for gas for the two weeks until my first paycheck. i really am thankful for your help getting that secured. i am down to the very last of food for myself and cats. i plan on visiting the food pantry on Wed. if anyone can help it would be appreciated.

i was rather obsessed with this band as a teenager. amanda palmer was such an influence on me she inspired me to teach myself piano. i wouldn’t be a musician if it weren’t for her. they keep teasing another album but it seems doubtful. i love their current two. the compilation is decent.

just make Israel the 51st state already

 

update: i have been sent $10 and $30 from two users as of 01/04/25. thank you both so much!

hello everyone. on Oct 1st i lost my job. the job itself was toxic but it was also my only source of income. it took a while but i landed a new position that begins on Monday. however, i am incredibly behind on bills and my phone has been shut off. my car is scheduled to be repossessed as well. i have been doing DoorDash as a means to support myself but with my phone being disabled i have no way to work. i am unsure when my first paycheck will be and i am running out of food for myself and my pets, and i am out of gas for my car. things are very difficult currently. the only family i have is my mother and we don’t live in the same state. nobody is able to help me, so i am coming here to try and appeal to anyone who is able to provide support.

full disclosure: i created a request on here a couple days ago but it didn’t result in any assistance, so i am trying once more as a last resort. additionally, i need roughly $600 to pull me out of this hole. i would never ask for that from complete strangers, so please, even if you can only provide a few dollars anything will help. truly.

venmo and cash app - dgrwl

if you’d like to help but have a different payment app then send me a message. i’d be willing to download it.

thank you for reading. thank you to anyone who bumps or otherwise helps my thread. and thank you so much if you are able to give and do so.

 

we had an electronic toy bucket with a clown nose that shot its own balls out of its mouth and the game was you’d gather them up from around the room and shove them back in its stupid bucket head and it would suck its balls up and throw ‘em back out and you’d repeat that and pretend it was fun for more than five minutes.

what do you think made us millennials the way we are? tbh i think zoomers are cool. they’re doing alright. they’re like my younger sibling. we were raised by the same bullshit.

 

hello everyone :3

i go by kuiper and i've recently decided to limit my social media usage to decentralized and federated spaces as much as possible. i am very new to this and have a lot to learn. i've always thought privacy was important but never knew how to avoid being involved with nefarious companies. people gave up my rights to privacy when i was a kid in order to fight wars for profit so i didn't ever get the chance to protect myself. but here i am now! better late than never. i can do what i can at this point to restore my anonymity. if i divulge information that's my choice, not those outside of my control.

things about me.. i am a furry, yes. been in the fandom for eight years now. i love music so damn much. it's truly my passion hobby. i listened to 111 albums released in 2024 alone. i have 3,977 artists in my digital library and i'm always looking for more. feel free to recommend me stuff! huge fan of psychological horror too.

if you have any tips for a newcomer to the fediverse please share. i'd love to take advice from anyone.
