gofund.me/414de474 to support me and my household!
- Loot that drops after defeating me: * fidget toys * 15 different meds and supplements * a handful of cool trinkets that represent inside jokes with my friends but are otherwise not of much value * a large file full of BB history and lore * really dark chocolate
- Abolish is the compromise. We accept nothing less.
- Soon I will do my monthly update thread but now I am mid-week visiting mom for chemo treatment. So just a light reminder that my household is fundraising for things like rent, utilities, and cat vet bills while we muddle through various health and financial crises. gofund.me/8bac45bd7
- I get that paywalls suck and the business model is awful but that's not the fault of the journalists who are underpaid, devalued, and in precarious professional situations currently. If you can, consider subscribing to/funding independent investigative journalism.
- My mom is such an interesting mix of liberal and radical because what do you mean the pile of books she's currently reading includes Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States and a Chicken Soup for the Soul book titled I'm Speaking 😂📖📚
- I think the hardest part of all of this is that between the likely dementia of some kind, age, trauma/denial, the anemia, the cancer, and the chemo - mom keeps forgetting or simply not processing in the first place that this is chronic; forever.
- She will never get to ring that bell signaling the end of treatment this time, never get to be announced as cancer free or in remission. Best case scenario is that chemo can become briefer and/ less frequent. But even that's not likely.
- Due to many factors, she's likely to be in this five days of chemo every 28 days schedule for the duration. Until this chronic version turns into the acute version, which will be even worse. Meanwhile, the blood transfusions will keep being needed regularly, as well.

View full threadShe just had 2 units of red blood cells and 2 units of platelets transfused, which means she's probably gonna wake up feeling much better and say something like maybe this is working and she's recovering. 2 days later... 😭😭😭
- Someone vagueposting about their own personal life: Me, brow furrowed: what does this have to do with Stencil-man?
- IDK if this means movies about dads you can relate to or movies your dad would like but either way I'm saying The Birdcage because my life is rather unusual.
- Thread up. But especially the crux of it right here.
- I'm so tired I keep trying to clean my glasses but that's ... not why my vision is blurry and I'm having trouble focusing.
