Hey guys. I’m Case, I have gone by many names and worn many hats on here, caseJackal, hi im case, Jason Iscariot, AskKarkatVoice, briefly Broadway Karkat 2, and recently a fundraising coordinator for the Kenosha Theater Restoration Project.

My building caught fire earlier this week. This is the Kenosha Theatre, a 2000+ seat theater building that my apartment is situated above. On Thursday, a fire started in the kitchen of the apartment across from me. The hall and soon my apartment quickly filled with smoke. It was too thick to leave through, and I ended up being stuck in my apartment as I called 911. After waiting a few minutes, I had to punch out the screen screwed to the outside of my window in order to climb out.

Everyone in the building is fine. Everyone’s pets are fine. But we have fire damage, water damage, smoke damage, and some doors and windows and other things broken because of the fire rescue.

Personally, I’ve had a pretty bad traumatic history with house fires. It’s hard to go back into my apartment with the residual smoke and ash getting to me. My last experience was a massive perspective shift, and after 10 years, going through it again is a lot to process, especially with everything else I’ve been dealing with this past year.

Since this time last year, I’ve been sexually assaulted, I’ve been nearly stranded in a country on the other side of the planet, I’ve have had accounts w my bank info broken into, I’ve had all of my work computers and devices die at some point and had to pay to replace them, with some help. I’ve faced letters that I’m getting kicked off of my healthcare, and power disconnect notices. It’s been a lot to juggle, and I’m very grateful for all the help my friends have given me. But im incredibly exhausted still, and this is yet another setback.

The theater lobby, pictured above, was restored thanks to the fundraising efforts predominantly of my incredible friend spoony, who also lives here. Over the past few years, we’ve been able to restore the lobby’s plaster and original paint job, and redid the drainage above it, but we didn’t expect a firehose worth of water to come through and cause so much of our work to be undone.

We have fire insurance, but our deductible is very high and we don’t know how much they will be paying for.

I have a gofundme linked, that further explains the situation. If you can contribute anything, if you can spread the word, I would appreciate this immensely.

Thanks, everyone.

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

"This issue isn't 'complex', the only reason it hasn't been solved is because some people don't want it solved" like, yeah, bro, how to get everybody on the same page about what the problem is and how best to fix it is, in fact, one of the complexities in question. A lot of stuff is simple if you skip that step, but the trick is that you can't.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
