I did kind of a quick mass unfollowing. Don’t take it personally. I don’t know what I want from this space, so I’m starting over. Ish. I don’t know. Making it up as I go to figure out what content I want to see here.

Streamers and creatives: if you’ve gotten anything from Throne in the last few months or so… Be sure to check that when you’re withdrawing your funds, it’s going to your bank not just sitting in a MassPay account where they are collecting fees. (@mylawyerfriend.bsky.social has thoughts on those)

I realize I only come here in times of need. I woke up yesterday to my entire bank account frozen. Levied. Gone. I rely on student loans and scholarships. And everything I had to survive the rest of the year is gone. Shares very very appreciated! 💜 gofund.me/584ee86f9 #mutualaid

Sooo. Apparently I’ve been awarded “too much” financial aid and they don’t want to give me my scholarship funds — despite being awarded the scholarship. …. Anyone want to give me $10k to make up for this? Kind of fucked without it.

Sometimes it is a moral judgement of your closed mindedness or lack of empathy.

“All it means when people say ‘you’re speaking from a place of privilege’ is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.”

My cat, Kaija, loves being under the covers. But if I choose to lay down on top of the covers, her little brain cannot compute. So she tries to burrow in my towel, my clothes, under me. Some days I swear she would get into my skin if it was possible.

I would like to report (another) murder.

If a democrat was assassinated could you imagine what would be going on right now?

michaelandwicket 12h
Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers made jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened.
And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.

BIG day of apartment hunting and touring. Will not be sad if someone spotted me some lunch money. (Otherwise it’s the meat sticks that LeftistAudiophile gave me.)

Today was a good day. But. So much stress with moving and school starting up. Financial stuff for the next 2 days. My family’s trying to get the house ready for closing. But I can barely think about packing. On top? This is the last place Tuija lived. And moving away is harder than I realized.

Welp. Accidentally spent $150 more at GenCon than I wanted to. Next year I need to only use cash. (the “Rini is broke” fund is still at ko-fi.com/adorkble if anyone wants to help with groceries, gas, & cat food cause I did a dumb.)

Yaaaaaaahhhh. No stream happened. Cause I was just tired and enjoying some time to relax. The “Rini is broke” foundation still exists. But yeah. Just focusing on work, apartment viewings, and getting ready for GenCon.

Welp. Yeah. Most definitely maybe gonna try. Caauuuuuse I had another automatic payment go through. Only one more month then I get my student loans.

Rini (they/them) @adorkablyrini.bsky.social · 25/07/2025

Might stream on Sunday. Quick little “fundraiser” for the Rini Is Broke foundation. (And I need a new air filter for my car.)

Rini (they/them) @adorkablyrini.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

On top of this -- I feel like I should not ask for help because I'm going to GenCon. We're conditioned that we cannot do "luxury" things while still struggling or asking for help from others. Despite that it's already paid for & what I spend there will be minimal compared to my responsibilities.

Rini (they/them) @adorkablyrini.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

This summer has also been a good reflection on asking for help. As a society we often look down on asking for help and mutual aid as begging or looking for handouts. But then conversely, folks get upset with the "well why didn't you ask for help?" It feels like a no-win situation.

Rini (they/them) @adorkablyrini.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Viewing an apartment today. I can't afford a deposit or anything right now. But. I'm in the "something will work out" no-panic mode cause the alternative is kind of nonexistent. I *have* to move. My folks likely wouldn't let me be homeless. But it wouldn't be ideal to move w/ them.

Nothing like coming home and finding your power has been disconnected. It's back on -- thanks to my mom. But yeah, I was hoping to pay the rest of the past-due balance on Thursday with my next paycheck. But nope. Too late.

And if you are re-posting pictures or video of protests… EDIT OUT PEOPLE’S FACES. It’s our duty to keep people safe!! Don’t let the fascist regime use you to hurt others! #nokings (cc @indivisible.org)

Rini (they/them) @adorkablyrini.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

If you are going to protests today, or any day: DO NOT take pictures of people’s faces or identifiable markings. Cops faces are ok! DO NOT livestream it. DO NOT talk to cops. Ask if you are arrested, if no, leave. Otherwise: ask for a LAWYER. DO keep fresh water with you. Be safe. Do the thing.

Overdraft fees are bullshit. “We’re going to give you til the end of the business day (ie ~6 hrs) to find money you don’t have, or we’re going to charge you for being broke.” So now instead of being $63 overdrawn, I’m now $97. I still don’t get paid til the 18th. And I bet you I get another fee.

Birthday is in 2 days! Celebrating by working and probably disassociating. I won’t lie. Life is tough right now. While I have a job I love, and am successful and happy in grad school, there are still many ways I feel like a failure. It is possible to feel great joy and shame at the same time.
