A quick update to anyone concerned, I was able to get help from my aunt to pay my rent, so I'm still housed. I'm not sure how to make next month's, but I have some time.

Currently, though, I have an appointment Monday to get my cast removed, xrays done again to make sure it's healing, and the cast replaced. My co-pay for this appointment is $50, which I do not have. It's kind of important, and also it's hard for me to schedule around work and having to ride the bus.

Any help is appreciated. As an aside, my wrist does feel like it's healing well, so I doubt I'll need surgery.

 

I'm having to pay my rent late and also had to miss two days of work this week due to being unable to travel in a hurricane. I don't have PTO left so that will be unpaid. I need the money by Wednesday at the latest. I'm going to try to contact social services to see if I can get rental assistance in the meantime.

Thank you all for your suggestions! If I remember, I'll let you know what we pick.

I suppose I mean anything 80s and older.

 

I've got a friend coming over in a couple days and we decided we were in the mood to watch some old fashioned sci-fi. Or, something newer would work as well. I'd like to find something with a leftist bent, but I'm unsure where to start, or what's out there. I've never been a big movie buff.

Suggestions?

 

Just need a little help between checks. I could use some not-ramen, and I need some hair ties.

Thank you all! It's raise season so with any luck I'll have to post here less!

You've gotten upbears but I wanted to specifically say this was a good one. I chuckled.

[–] isame@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

No shit! Between food and rent I can barely make it.

Surely they signed an extremist non-compete.

Well that seems... not ideal.

Apparently he had his gun drawn so he could use the attached flashlight. I'm not a gun person but doesn't that mean the safety wasn't engaged? Why would you disengage the safety if you're just using the flashlight? Anyway that wall was a terrorist.

Woo! High score! We're number one!

Excuse me while I quietly cry in the corner.

Only 787 of them? These days it seems like they're all falling apart.

Edit: fulfilled by a personal friend. Go help someone else! Thank you friends.

For anyone who's followed my posts at all - things are so, so much better. Thank you all for all your help. I'm full time now at 15 an hour, just at the end of a check. Please, if you see any more urgent posts, favor them. I'm just a hopeless nicotine addict who is $7 short of a vape. I get paid in ~18 hours. Could anyone spot me?

I hope you're all well!

 

Hi all! Things are getting better but I'm at the end of my money and don't get paid till tomorrow. A little money for food till then would be grand.

Thank you!

Well I made it 20 days without having to ask for help here, but it's that time again. I could just use a little bump for toilet paper and some food. I'm not going to make rent on the 1st but my apartment complex said they can give me until the 15th to pay without filing eviction paperwork. I'll have to pay late fees but that still helps. Looks like I'm getting my raise to 14 an hour starting next Saturday, I believe. And I've already been told I'll have 40 hours the week starting the 13th, as I'll be covering for someone.

But for now I'm still behind and struggling. I appreciate all your help, my friends. ~$20 should do me for now.

Edit: all taken care of!

I hope you're all doing well!

I thought she was giving a cartoon person head.

 

Won't say where. But I saw one of you fuckers in public today. Trenchcoat with hammer and sickle patches, free Palestine shirt, long hair and shit kickers.

I was preoccupied, but hi comrade!

I'm also not going to read it, but $700 mil as of 2023, according to the table in the link.

I watch an unhealthy amount of YouTube and never knew this. Nifty.

Good attention grabber huh? Don't worry, I don't use it and I'm not trying to say I should.

I recently hung out with my neighbors. They really wanted to smoke me out. I'm 32 living in what is essentially off campus student apartments. 4 bed 4 bath, etc.

They're all Hispanic in this apartment (above me). 2 are from South America - I forget which country - and 2 are from South Florida.

They throw around the N word, never pejoratively. As the only white guy in the room I'm not saying shit.

Question is, is this okay? As a white guy idk.

One of them also said the f slur for gay people and immediately apologized - 'sorry if that offended you '. That one I did tell him he knew it was wrong because he apologized immediately. I have a love always wins bracelet and a rainbow lanyard, very visible.

I'm 10+ years older than these kids. I'm honestly trying to figure out if this is baked-in or if they're just dumb kids and maybe I can be a positive influence. If it's baked-in then I'll just peace out. I don't know the culture and don't want to judge from an uninformed perspective.
