Unfortunately, my financial situation is still dire, and I’m worried about being able to afford to heat my flat this autumn/winter. I’m still about £3k in debt, too. Anything helps, genuinely. ko-fi.com/ligaratus

Bumping this. Right now I'm not sure I'll have money for food until my next welfare payment in about 10 days. Probably have to temporarily shelve trying to pay off the debts and focus on like, "being able to eat".

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

art of a wolf girl eating broccoli and brushing her teeth. the dialogue says:
I've been an adult living on my own for a coupleyears now and since I have ADHD and bouts of Sick Brain Disease I can fall into a rut easilyESPECIALLY when it comesto taking care of myselfbut the awesome thing about being an adult is that no one is watching over your shoulder making
sure you're perfect i used to give myself shit that i wouldn't be able to eat healthier or take care of myself in an optimal way here's a cool trick tho: ANYTHINGis is better than nothing. if you can only eat a couple vegetables? buddy thats better than no vegetables. worried about brushing your teeth for like three minutes? do like ten seconds instead want to socialize more often but you're worried you can't do multi-hour events? babe you're an adult now, if you get tired you can just leave lol If you want to improve, fuck yeah, work your way up to more of whatever. starting at all is the hard part - if you can do that then you've got a lot of what you need already anyway ive crunched the numbers and treating yourself a little bit better than yesterday is actually a million times better than trying to Fix Your Life Completely and getting mad when you can't do a 180. be nice and recognize that you can live a lot of your life in first or second drafts; if you're not perfect yet? fuck it, you'll get better later! u can do it!!! woof!!

Dental emergency update: I have a dental abscess and the tooth is unsalvageable. It’s next to an existing gap where I never had a permanent tooth at all, and I can’t afford implants. I’m already nearly £3k in debt and I’m on benefits and unable to work due to disability. Hah!

Isidore Bloom @ladyisidore.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Bumping this. Need urgent dental care, likely will need to pay out of pocket for proper white filling. Also! Still in debt!! Seriously, I know I’m not around on socials a ton but part of that is that between money stress and schizophrenia, I don’t have much left to do more than sorta hang on.

I also had to buy new glasses today, and despite qualifying for some discounts, I ended up paying about £130 for new frames, reglazing old frames, plus lens tinting to see if that helps with eye strain and migraines from too-bright light. Thank you to everyone who’s already helped 💙

Isidore Bloom @ladyisidore.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Hey, uh, I’ve only got about £200 until the 27th, I’m already like £2k in credit card debt bc benefits aren’t really enough to survive on when disabled and I’m dealing with chronic illness exacerbations that make it very difficult to cook. Basically, I need money for food. ko-fi.com/ligaratus

While I’m here and thinking about SFF writing, I do think most of the conversation around how worldbuilding is “bad” and “mostly unnecessary” are missing the point; and defenders of worldbuilding are also missing the point. The issue is writing without thinking about what exactly you’re saying.

One thought that keeps coming up in my brain is: Do non-lesbians recognize that the refrain "we just want to focus on female friendship" reads as such a lesbophobic dog whistle? Like, girls who love girls can still be friends. Heck, any relationship (even romantic ones) can include friendship
