I know everyone mourns when I don’t provide them with new webtoons to be irresponsibly invested in (like Lout of Count’s Family now on Tapas as well) but uh…

This time it’s because I am undergoing immense financial stress and I’m trying to speed run through hustle culture, figure out if floribamageorgia has loan sharks I can link up with, and eat/drink my feelings. 

If you’re on Patreon, you may have seen where I finally had an update about my current housing situation. I mentioned it in the GFM I’m doing for my sister and the niecelings, that my apartment was giving me trouble. The trouble is… mold everywhere in my apartment at super high levels that have been impacting my health and quality of life beyond that. 

Anyway —

I am currently out… almost four thousand dollars between paying for a hotel for half of the month because my current apartment is full of mold that’s making me incredibly sick and now… having to pay for people to pack and move my things by Sunday. Oh, and I had to pay for rent on top of that but I planned for this expense… not the other things.

There’s been no time for me to plan or prep for this because of how fast this all suddenly moved, and this really does prove the whole “Americans can’t afford an emergency” thing, huh. 

Right now, here’s where I’m sunk. 

• About $1500 for the hotel I’ve been in from the 25th (my apartment complex has repeatedly rejected reimbursing me and I don’t know what the insurance claim I filed will result in)
• At least $2300 for movers to pack and move most of my things by Sunday (there’ll also be an additional cost because my fabric furniture has to be treated so that stuff has to be moved separately but I have no idea when that’ll be
• $50 for the cost of turning the water on in my new apartment
• $160 for the cost of turning my electricity on in the new apartment

Yes, even though I paid for both of those things in March… I have to pay them again. The water is now, the electricity over the course of three months. There’s no waiver. I can get or apply for. I also can’t spend a weekend in an apartment without electricity… Ugh.

(There’s also all of the ubers I have to take to get around but I’ll probably just eat that cost entirely.)

How You Can Help Me

• Be a loan shark or rich binch and loan me $4000 flat out in exchange for one of my lesser used organs (I’m… not joking)
• subscribe to my spicy manga newsletter (but like… 2000 people… should do that once… i’m just saying. You get to help me out and you get 2, soon to be 3 fascinating looks into the r18 media I consume on a regular basis!)
• Send me money through ko-fi? I’ll make some ko-fi goals at some point?
• Sign up for my patreon
• Buy my wee little novella
• hire me to write something for you (I will write that critical or celebratory article you’ve always wanted me to write — current freelance employers do not interact with this unless you’re gonna lowkey wipe the slate blank and also pay me up front — or the spicy (or mild!!) /fan fiction you’ve always wanted from me. My limits are next to nonexistent and I can write for almost any fandom give or take enough time to get deeply obsessed. Let’s talk.)
• hire me period? I’m trying to do my best at hustle culture and trying to get hired but it is NOT going as well as I want. I can write, I can edit, I can sing, I can cook if you live in an x-mile radius of my corner of floribamageorgia. Pay me to speak to a crowd about fandom journalism and academia… virtually (unless you’re at a university between Florida, Alabama, Georgia, or Louisiana… I can do that in person, probably)

And as always, if you want to do any or some of this… you can reach me through my contact form or through email directly if you have it. I get to spend the rest of my week/end burning money and trying to figure out how I’m going to recoup my losses
