I’m sorry, I’ve tried to avoid asking for help for as long as I could, as someone gently pointed out that I was essentially e-begging and it was all I was posting. However, I need this paid before it reaches collections… Anything helps.. I truly appreciate it more than you know ko-fi.com/bixbyte

See a program I've taught myself how to use since 2019 accept an AI slop sponsor hurts. This is not a win for Blender artists. Its a slap in the face for them. Cause this puts the hard work of me and everyone else who uses Blender in danger of being used WITHOUT PERMISSION for a slop machine.

#Blender #Trainz Been working on a H24-66 Fairebanks Morse model lately. Still deciding which parts i'll be modeling and which parts I'll simply draw on but its coming along well.

The multiple colors is an option built into Blender. I'm using it here to help make it easier for all the parts to be seen and not be hidden

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

nature.com

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

(I Need Help) A couple days ago, I fled home. I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive. This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. On Monday, I discretely packed my bags, computer, and left.

I feel bad having to do this again, but I need some help.

A couple days ago I fled home.

I have been dealing with a very difficult living situation due to my parents being emotionally abusive. This Sunday was a breaking point for me and I couldn’t take it anymore. The next day, I discretely packed my bags and computer, and left.

I am currently staying at a friend’s house. They have a spare room and I’ve been allowed to temporarily crash at their place for the time being.

I have a roof over my head, and for the first time in a while now, I feel physically and emotionally safe.

Despite this, I am not financially stable. And this is where, unfortunately, I still need help. Bills don’t stop just because I’m in a crisis.

Any help is really welcome: I have setup a paypal.me https://paypal.me/imaginativelyu as well as a Ko-fi ko-fi.com/zillionross

I wanted to write this to let people know what’s going on. This has all been immensely scary. But I feel that this is going to be the first step for me to get back on my feet.

As always, take care of yourself first. But if you can help, I cannot express the gratitude I would have.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.” This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

Then my car got sideswiped, and I'm going to most likely have to pay out of pocket for that, even though I'm definitely not at fault... Just don't want to escalate, raise rates, etc Also still fighting with my previous apartment, trying to charge us for July... we may have to drag this to court.

Our car is for repossession next week. I’ve been having health issues and trying to make payments, but it’s at the point loan company is looking to repo. My car is access to medical care, food, the only way I can feed my pets. I’m asking out of desperation. This is humiliating and I’m sorry. Links⬇️
