hello friends! I won't be making a GoFundMe for this, since I thankfully don't have to choose between buying groceries & getting vet care for my cat Peggy, but things are a lil *tight* bc of a series of unfortunate financial events (which I will list below the cut for those interested) so if anyone has a few bucks to spare and wants to help me offset the $485 mysterious lump removal surgery my lil baby is getting on Tuesday, I would greatly appreciate it

heyoo if you wanna hear the money shit that's plagued us you are in the correct place. let us begin our chronicle in August, when I made the grand decision to go back to college for a school media specialist certification. I am enjoying it v much and do not regret it at all, but it did mean that I left my decently paying but incredibly toxic retail job and went back to getting paid beans as an adjunct professor at a community college + had to pay 3k in tuition

next Luna, my loveable but temperamental 2011 Ford Fiesta, started having Problems™️, including but not limited to: water pump replacement (which for some fuckall reason on my car requires cutting & replacing the timing belt?? which of course means it cost more), downstream oxygen sensor replacement, and a new set of front tires bc those bitches were BALD (you could literally see the steel coming out of the side). to add fuel to the fire of my ongoing anxieties, her check engine light comes on and off every few days, it's a perpetual game of chicken. when I was able to catch it on and get it checked she reported a catalytic system issue, which has in the past been cured by a bottle of cataclean, so of course she needed that too. all of which adds up to the tune of about 1.5k (thankfully she's paid off but like she's only worth 2.5k so if she keeps having issues i am SOL)

during all of the back and forth with Luna, my partner has been having dental appointments for ongoing teeth issues. we were under a time crunch to get those taken care of since she turned 26 in October, and in the great land of America that means she was kicked off of her dad's insurance on Halloween. so, after a couple appointments that included tooth extraction and the making of a denture set in exchange for CareCredit agreements, we're in 2.1k of medical debt for that (she also is now without insurance so that's fun)

and, the cherry on top and the thing that has pushed me to appeal to the Internet, a few weeks ago we found two mysterious lumps on my cat Peggy Sue's hip, which are scheduled to be removed and sent off to a lab on Tuesday. I won't retell the whole story here, but you can check the "Peggy Sue" tag on my blog for a few more in depth posts on the situation. overall her care adds up to around $900, $485 of that which is the Tuesday surgery that I'm driving to another state for (my vet was crazy expensive so I'm going to a friend's recommendation)

anyway, I know that I'm lucky to even be able to cover all of these via savings and credit cards without it threatening my food/housing, but things are, understandably, a bit tight. I hate asking for help for myself, but if anyone wants to help take care of my cat, I would greatly appreciate it

or, if you prefer to buy things, I will be listing some collectable Barbies on my eBay in the next week or so, if you're interested in that I can send you my eBay page

pic of Peggy for getting this far, thank you <3

So I hate doing this but once again I'm asking for help on my medical bills. Last week I was in the ER for my heart, and just today I was given a 21 day Holter monitor.

So far I know my copay for the ER is going to be $250, but this doesn't include the EKGs (they did two or three), the blood tests, my cardiologist coming in, and the medications they administered. This happened before my deductible rolled over on 5/1, so I know I'll have a lot of out of pocket to pay for.

The holter monitor will take up this year's deductible of $1500, and then some, since I live in the US and our commercial insurances like to screw us over. So I'll be paying 20% of the cost after deductible ($1500) is met of the remaining balance.

I'm still paying off my hysterectomy surgery from last year, as well as the fridge from '21 and the root canal last June, so I'm currently looking at needing about $5000 just to pay most of it off without having to get behind on my monthly pills, my dog's monthly pills and Rx food, and I can live off the bare minimum for food, but I have to watch sodium levels so the cheapest things - canned goods, frozen dinners, etc - are off the table.

Any help is appreciated. My links are below.

(also I write meta, if anyone wanted to read this one, which I worked really hard on and am very proud of...)

Edit: I refuse to leave this in the reblogs:

kofi request for anon: ingo with sweets

- despite his love for them, ingo is actually quite picky when it comes to sweets

- he gives genuine praise sparingly -> enter emmet who is determined to make the best cookie recipe ever

- ingo gets many presents from fans and he can’t eat all of them, so he shares most of it

like, I'm old school web comic culture, I like handmade zines that are stapled, I just want to make comics and tell stories and the ranking system of the popular webcomic sites exhaust me to my core, which is why I like tumblr. I want to draw sulla wound fingering crassus and not think about the metrics.

when lime is first talking to coco/oscar/taffy about how hes leaving to join the m34th and everyone is giving him shit about it, he pulls out their little borchure and goes “they cover dental. and they have a retirement plan” and they see in the little pamphlet his yearly salary and everyone goes “oooh....makes sense....maybe its not so bad.....we’re rooting for you!!”

Bill is a nerd. A HUGE nerd. The only reason he can mess with reality as well as he does is applied physics and biology. He's learned a fuckton of languages mostly out of curiosity, he writes in code for fun, and every time he finds some new thing to know about he's like a kid in an infinite candy store with full dental insurance.

My zine shop is OPENNNN And to celebrate halfway to Halloween my comics and zine are half off today only! Ko-Fi Shop

Just picked up this drunk girl from the vet after getting her teefies cleaned today 🐈‍⬛🪥❤️🥴 everything went well, she's just coming off being sedated so she's all stumbly and her eyes are fully dilated lol

Is there anyway I can help?

ok i hesitated about this one but i’ll post this for now and if i change my mind i’ll delete,

but if anyone wants to donate a few dollars or something to help me with my medical bills and upcoming surgery my cash app is

$AriesHaze

i am not selling content or anything in return using this, i’m solely posting this for donations because i’ve gotten multiple requests and i could truly use the help and support right now. So if you enjoy me or my blog and want to help me with my health issues i appreciate more than you guys know.

Any little bit would truly help. Medical Tests are expensive AF in the US and so is wisdom teeth removal without dental insurance plus i’ll be out of work to recover.

just realized my entire tax return will be vaporized to pay off the last of my taxes from 2021...thats like good in some ways but also thats money i thought id have that i will not lol

[superhumanfoods]

wow anybody who says money doesn't buy happiness really has never felt the visceral relief of realizing you have enough money not to have to make some extremely hard decisions, huh

[roosterbox]

Y’all, I promised. And now I’m delivering. There is absolutely nothing here but fluff. It’s like cotton candy in fic form.

And rest assured, I have sooooooo many other Steddie WIPs to work on. I’m particularly interested in the Time Travel AU. But those might take a while yet. For now, have this lil drop of sweetness.

Now I’m gonna put my phone aside and definitely NOT think about hitting refresh on AO3 every ten seconds 😬
