I am tentatively poking my head back in here. I have been away from all social media so this is not a triumphant return from dying twitter. But all the tea is here and It’s so much fun to watch, I forgot.
So, fun story: last night (7/27), my screen popped and fizzled out. An attempted restart stopped at loading the video card port. Even after a full chassis cleanout and trying again, it’s completely kaput, likely due to the overwhelming heat recently (thanks SoCal!)
My computer is literally my only source of income rn and I need to pay my rent, so! I would seriously appreciate if you could help me out with getting a replacement/helping with funds via ko-fi or paypal! I also have venmo, but tumblr mobile literally will not let me upload pictures 😬
I can also take commissions, with the understanding they will be delayed for my current queue and actually getting a replacement card in so my computer will work, haha
So apparently I owe over $1,400 in taxes on the year I’d been unemployed for 7 months, and since I haven’t had a job since December 2018, that’s making me really fucking nervous. I just filed my extension but I need to somehow make that money.
So, hello!
I’m Ocean, also known as Elliott, and I’m a queer, trans, writer and editor. I currently am jobless due to medical and mental health issues, but I can’t get healthcare because I’m broke. I can’t manage to hold a fulltime job without severely damaging both my physical and mental health and aggravating documented diagnoses, which makes me ineligible for unemployment benefits, but cannot seem to get qualified for disability. (Yay, millennial culture intersecting with malevolent capitalism!)
Nervous reminder that I have a Ko-fi and Patreon account if you enjoy the content I create!
Every reblog helps as I try to work myself out of this bigass hole! I appreciate all the support I receive. I’m working on reopening my active commissions, and will announce open slots when I have them ready.
hey guys - business has been pretty slow for me commissions wise, and i have to get a rent payment in by monday (4/15) - still need at least $150 to make the payment. on that note, i’d really appreciate if you could
i know i’ve been pushing the comms a lot–it really means a lot to me that you guys have been signal boosting and passing my art along. thank you so much!
