And one who has cheap, accessible recipes for folks with disabilities/chronic illnesses making cooking difficult:

Also, donate cash, not canned goods.

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

You can cook food for your neighbors. Set a free pantry box outside of your place. Pool money with your coworkers if someone at work has young kids or an elderly relative that likely has SNAP.

You don’t have to pry into people’s business, you can just do things & make it known help is available.

DID YOU KNOW: “rizz” isn’t short for charisma? it’s actually short for riz gutgak

DAY 1

You're just settling in for the night when you hear the sound. Not a thump or a creak. It's something else, coming from above you.

In the attic.

You glance up at the ceiling as tho you'd be able to see thru all those layers of floor and ceiling to the source of the sound.

stop bc this is my order down to the pork

why did they darken the bsky logo I hate it

on the plus side I did Not cry in therapy today, please clap

current level of dissociation: finally did my laundry. pulled my clothes out the dryer, put it to my face to smell. realized I somehow put two loads through the entire cycle without laundry detergent.

Back in September, I informed everyone that I was in a bad situation that was only getting worse. The community offered such overwhelming support during an incredibly difficult time. I mentioned in the last fundraiser that I would continue to need assistance, but figuring out a way to facilitate that was difficult. I felt the only solution would be to raise money seasonally until I either lucked into a well-paying job or found a way to meet my needs without finances. As you all know, SNAP benefits will be cut off in November. It feels like every moment I get to breathe, something else happens and I have to scramble to survive. Trying to keep up with my job and constantly face the reality that my life is one emergency from homelessness has been demoralizing in so many ways. I am providing an update for my situation: With SNAP benefits being cut off, I will not be able to afford food without help. Even with local food banks and distribution resources, this is impacting thousands of families across the city, and resources will be stretched incredibly thin for the holiday season. I still need assistance so I can afford basic toiletries, menstrual supplies, and rent. As said in my last post, I have been officially diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and have spent the past year attempting to recover from CPTSD. In short, I have multiple disorders stemming from multiple traumatic situations and incidents that have occurred to me over the course of my life, but especially in the last decade. Thanks to Medicaid, I am fortunate enough to have 2 different therapists and a psychiatrist. As of (9/11/2025) I do not wish to share details beyond this. Do not speculate about my personal life. While I have sought out healthcare for my chronic pain, my arthritis has worsened significantly because of the stress I am under. Life has become substantially more difficult because of the adjustment to constant pain. It is a struggle to cook meals for myself & my household.

I have been at risk of homelessness since July, and that situation has not changed. I have a job, but I do not make nearly enough to support myself through survival. I have found an opportunity to make some spare income locally, but this will not go into effect until December, and will not be consistent as it is gig-based. I have been looking for jobs that are accommodating to my disability, with no luck as most of them require relocation or hybrid work environments. I have opened commissions of various types - including video editing, art commissions and tarot readings - but my commissions aren’t consistent enough for me to build a stable income off of. I am behind on commission based work because of my pain and the above circumstances. I will not be accepting commissions that need to be immediately fulfilled until further notice. I have dropped out of multiple TTRPG projects because of the above circumstances. The community within the TTRPG space I have is very important to me, but I feel I cannot keep up with anyone because I am constantly fighting for survival. I have remarked that I feel unseen, and it is because I feel like I have to be entertaining for people to care about me as a human being. I don’t enjoy having to list my marginalizations for people to have empathy (I honestly feel like I shouldn’t have to share them) but in this current political climate, it is exceedingly dangerous for me to be one emergency away from being on the streets. I’m not making enough to cover my living expenses, and to try and ignore my circumstances in favor of playing TTRPGs or videogames would be completely detrimental to my survival. To everyone who has supported me the past few years - I deeply appreciate you. Whether you liked and shared my art, enjoyed my performance on an AP, or commented on any of my work, every bit of support I have cherished and treasured. There have been many of you who have donated to me out of kindness, and I feel like I can’t thank you al…

Living in the duality of trying to be entertaining enough for people to care while going through hard times & trying to maintain a positive disposition has been so difficult.

Here is an update on my personal situation, health and survival.

tangentially related, can’t believe I watched my favorite character die in two separate shows ON THE SAME DAY and then got them both back within days of each other. yeesh.

I’ll delete this later probably

“who do you think pulled you back from the brink of death? it certainly wasn’t you” is such an insane thing to say to your chronically suicidal child who is Still Here, For Some Reason

with the return of this *gestures to brain* Mess, I am reminded that a few months ago my mother told me it wasn’t my own “strength” that kept me alive the few times I’ve attempted but the strength of her God and that messed me up more than I realized, I think

suicide ideation cw

I’m having a hard time. not bc of the suicidality, which is There but manageable, but Because it’s manageable. I’m like well am I actually suicidal if I’m still alive? if I’m “strong enough” quote quote quote to still be here is it that serious at all? does it matter

Holy shit. You have to watch this. I had chills at the end. What an incredible piece of art. The journey from “you’re kidding me” to “YOURE KIDDING ME” is real.

Seattle: Our tea house will begin accepting donations on 10/29. We will make weekly dropoffs with Northwest Harvest, but if you are in our area and in need, you are welcome to take directly from the donations bin for yourself as well. We won’t be policing your need.

I knew we were chopped as a community when NO ONE in the AP space told me about Norfolk. Because no one’s reaching out to explore beyond their own circles or content, but BEGGING to be seen or play TTRPG scholar.

If folks I know are organizing charity actual plays this coming month to support food banks/hunger-oriented mutual aid, I would love to talk about running a one-shot of Daggerheart for you.

Hey everyone!

I am so sorry to ask for help but I'm in a very dire situation since my mom is in the hospital and I'm stuck with the bill.

I don't expect to hit the $1600 goal but literally ANYTHING helps.

Thank you so very much and I'm so sorry.

not a great time to be a suicidal CR fan

bro I haven’t heard anybody say this yet but I LOVE what Brennan is doing with orc lore in this campaign. “this is what you were made to be and do” and orcs being like no, we reject that rhetoric. there’s LAYERS to that, man
