URGENT: NEED AUGUST RENT ASAP, $0/900 AT TIME OF POSTING Welp, my family isn't willing to help out with rent yet again, so I'm back in the Shitty Situation of needing to ask for a ton of help last minute to be able to avoid late fees or the threat of eviction should I be wholly unable to pay rent. While I do presently get unemployment, it's not enough nor would what I do get come in time to pay rent. I have an interview lined up for an engineering firm that's contracted with a large company out here on Tuesday which will hopefully go well, but who knows if that will pan out to a career in a timely fashion. I also might have a firmware QA contract role (12 months at least) in the works, but I have no clue in the slightest if that'll turn into anything, period. I have gone through and set up a basic hourly remote contract? thing with a data company doing some generic "how good is this AI responding" which I only intend on doing so long that I don't have a better well-paying career option lined up - the instant I have something set up that's stable, I want nothing to do with that shit (there isn't an alternative that is going to be accommodating of my disabilities, mostly my Very Bad Heat Intolerance and it's hot n occasionally quite humid here). I don't know how long it'll take to actually be approved as well as receive any payouts, so there's no guarantee that'll be able to help soon, either. I hope to be able to stream soon-ish on occasion to at least show that I'm alive and doing things rather than feeling like I'm hiding myself behind a text-only medium and unable to really show that I'm like, doing anything vaguely productive with my time. Anyways. Anything helps, I know this is a massive ask on short notice but I don't have too much of a choice right now. https://ko-fi.com/senil https://paypal.me/senil888streams venmo: @senil@gts.social.senil.me cashapp: $senilthesynth (money will be pulled out as soon as it arrives to avoid any bullshit from platforms as best as possible.

Super stressed. #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest

Not only stressed because of, y'know, financial rent reasons, but also because there are wildfires raging in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington, with three destructive ones hitting Spokane, WA hard - where my fiance's parents and sisters live. Their parents already had to evacuate last night and are currently with one of their sister's & her husband, but their neighborhood is surrounded by Level 3 ("Go Now, this may be your only warning.") evac zones on the west and east, so who knows how long they'll be in their home... One of their aunt's and uncle's is convinced their home has been seriously damaged or outright destroyed, due to how the fire progressed and where it did so, too... so I'm worried on their behalf as well. This is potentially the worst fire the region has faced ever, let alone in the entire State's history. Several hundred structures are already confirmed to be destroyed by one specific fire alone, who knows how many more are damaged beyond repair, how many are trapped, how many are dead because they couldn't get out in time... While my partner and I live far away from the wildfires nowadays, both of our families live in Eastern WA. While wildfires aren't threatening my family as far as I know, with how severe conditions have been... it wouldn't take much for a fire to start up and become difficult to contain, when resources are already spread thin across the state to keep things under control as-is. It's only the start of August. Fire season lasts through a good chunk of September, here. It's probably going to get worse before it gets better at all... and I'm scared for what's likely to come. I'm scared that someone in either of our family's will lose their home. I know there's nothing I can do about this, but I can't help but worry. Anxiety is a bitch.

I know I should try bugging them again one more time but also I'm just. Scared that they'll say no even harder... I don't know what to do if I can't get this settled ASAP... I'm sorry to keep asking for help...

Thank you all so much. I hope to finally be able to show y'all the kindness you've offered me over the last... god, year? Almost year and a half?
