I’ve been reliably informed that asking for help when you
need it is what responsible people do.
Hey guys. I need
help.
I need to move out.
There are multiple reasons for this, but the one I’m most
comfortable discussing is that I have C-PTSD and trauma relating to Living With
Family.
@deadcatwithaflamethrower and her @drougnor and their kids have BECOME my family, since Jer rescued me 2-and-a-bit years ago. They’re amazing, and they’re nothing like my ex-family was.
Unfortunatley, PTSD doesn’t care about logic. This has been just been getting steadily worse for the last
several months.
I love Jer and her mate and their podlings very much and
this is damaging my relationship with them. It’s hurting me and hurting them.
So I’m looking for a room to rent in St Augustine. I receive SSI, but that REALLY isn’t very
much, and I need something with access to public transportation because I don’t
have a car.
I’m not sure yet how I’ll be moving my stuff, so I may need
money for that, too.
Jer had hoped to be able to help me with a security deposit
and first and last month’s rent, but though Drougnor has a temp job, he hasn’t
been paid yet and they’re trying to deal with their bills and the bills from
the move.
Guys, my birthday is November 11th. Helping me to get what I need to be where I need to be would be an awesome birthday present.

My Amazon wishlist is here http://a.co/aqdPN56 and I’m working on adding things
I will need while I’m living apart from my family. (You can ignore the books. I
love books, but I do not need books as much as I need necessities.) I’ll be adding more items to the wishlist after I think of more – I’ve only known that I would need to do this since last night, and it’s all kind of overwhelming.
*hugs you all* Because today is a day for hugs, and I’m going to run out of spoons if I go putting hugs in everyone’s ask box.
Feel free to reblog this to give a hug to every one of your followers.
*who is comfortable with being hugged. If you do not like hugs or are uncomfortable with physical contact, or even just prefer not a hug from someone not a mutual friend, cookies or other snacks suitable for your dietary needs and restrictions.
Hey everyone! I know it hasn’t been that long since my last crowdfund. I’m trying, desperately to not have to do this, but I’m at the point right now where all I can do is look at my transportation expenses and cry.
This week got unexpectedly EXPENSIVE for transportation. I don’t know what it was, but my rideshare expenses to/from work DOUBLED. For, what I can see, is no fathomable reason. I’d take the bus/train if I had the option, but I have to get up so early on a Saturday that the bus system isn’t even running yet, and I got out so late on Friday that the last bus from the train station had already left by the time I got to the station.
This wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the usual price for both of these things doubled.
I’m trying to get the person who owns the car I’m supposed to be driving to figure out the fucking insurance thing. Because that would *drastically* (as in by almost 50$/week!) cut my transportation costs to/from work and school. That is the LAST THING. As in: I got my license, I’ve GOT a personal liability insurance plan ready to go, I just need him to stop dragging ass on figuring out if I can legally drive this car with that, or if I need to be on his insurance.
So I need a little help guys. I’ve got 8$ in my bank account, maybe 15-20 on my train farecard, and I’m up shits creek for school this week. I couldn’t go two weeks ago because I didn’t have transportation costs. I’ve also taken on an in-town crochet commission, and I’ll hold a prompts day with a fancy header this time instead of just mentioning it sometimes.
All I need to get through the week is like, 80$. That’s transportation and food. I’m not trying to be a mooch, or a bum, or anything like that, I just. I can’t do this alone right now, and my biological family won’t help. All I’ve got is my internet family, and y’all have saved my ass so many times I feel so bad about asking again but I’ve got to.
I’d appreciate any signal boost, any reblog, any crosspost to twitter or instagram. I’m trying to be optimistic about my chances this week but I can’t miss any more school time this soon, and I want, desperately, to graduate. I also can’t miss work.
The insurance thing is gonna be resolved soon. It’s got to be. He’s not allowed to drag his feet anymore on me.
SKETCH SPECIAL~ I need to do some quick commissions. I have two events this month (not even including Halloween) where I’d like to be able to actually spend a little money on myself and… I don’t actually have any. But since it’s such a busy month I won’t actually have any time to do BIG commissions, hence this, the sketch special. NOTE: All of these these are for PORTRAITS only please. OCs, and non- Star Wars and Star Trek characters are of course welcome, but seeing as my halo series (particularly the star trek) are more popular than any of my other art works and they are relatively simple for me to get done in a short period of time, This is what I’m doing. I’m going to start with 5 slots and if I can get more done then I will.
if you’re interested please e-mail me at lacefedora@gmail.com (if you have questions you can ask over the messaging system or an ask, but tumblr is far less reliable than my e-mail so I make sure all the important things are noted there)
for clarity:
SW Halo Style- Sketch with halo and grayscale shading: $13 Full color and shade sketch- no halo: $15 ST Halo style- full color sketch and shade plus Halo: $17

First event is tomorrow… Anyone want a quick one I can get done tonight?
Everybody, Lace’s art is genuinely amazing. This kind of price is seriously less than half of what she should be charging. It’s less than ¼. This is beautiful work she does, and she’s running a special right now. You should definitely buy her work.
You know what would be a super-fun experiment? A choose-your-own adventure fanfic.
See it would be a fanfic with chapters and everything, except at the end of each chapter it would say “If the character said/did X go to Chapter 10, if they did Y go to Chapter 12.”
It would be convoluted and an absolute headache to create, but man doesn’t that sound cool? *rubs chin* I might try it sometime.
Ooh! What fandom are you thinking about doing it in? Would you like a cheerleader?
(Also, decision trees and outlining are so useful for doing that. Possibly also will involve frustrated screeching, muttering about how the original media could have been better, and possibly a desire to shake the writers of the original media because Reasons.)
Mm. I think it depends on where/when – am I living where/when the historical person did, or are they being brought to me? Granted, most of those I find the most fascinating lived in the 15th century, so living in their time and place has some serious drawbacks that don’t entirely make up for the perks.
its really weird to see all these articles about how people who have ADHD have sleeping problems but the issue I have is that if you look at it as a matter of your circadian rythym being out of sync? of COURSE you’re not going to be able to sleep. we don’t say people who can’t fall asleep at 4 pm and sleep 8 hours have insomnia, because that’s not a normally agreed upon time to sleep and its not your bodies time to sleep. if you tell someone to go to bed at 10 and they can’t sleep till 3 am sometimes in just not insomnia. people with ADHD are often wired to sleep from 4 am to 12 pm ish because of the delayed onset of melatonin but if you let us go to bed at the time we need? most of us actually sleep pretty well and consistently.
wAIT THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING THAT EXISTS
“For most adults the onset of melatonin is around 9.30 pm; in ADHD children compared to controls this occurs at least 45 minutes later, and in adults with ADHD even 90 minutes (van der Heijden ea, 2005; van Veen ea 2010). After melatonin onset, it normally takes 2 hours to fall asleep, but in adults with ADHD it takes at least 3 hours (Bijlenga et al, 2013).”
Look at me awake at 1:47 am and reblogging this post.
So I’m actually trained in therapy for addressing insomnia and one of the things we learned is that a good chunk of sleep problems are societal disorders – as in they WOULDN’T EXIST as problems if society didn’t assume everyone was on the same circadian rhythm and that being up and working 9-5 was mandatory/normal. Blew my mind and made so much sense. You are not the problem, society is literally the problem.
