First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this
sorry if this poll isnt comprehensive my wife is the biology buff not me. anyways. remaking my last ebegging post since our needs have changed but we are still in need of help.
i am on my period, which has drastically increased both my appetite (in spite of the lack of food or money i have) as well as my pain, fatigue and other more concerning chronic illness symptoms. having to continually beg piecemeal for a few bucks here or there to maybe get enough for one meal that we can sometimes stretch with leftovers is tedious and humiliating, especially bc of my OCD, ARFID and other dietary sensitivities making eating extremely expensive and difficult. its still going to be over a week until i get foodstamps, not that its even remotely close to enough to feed me, much less me and my wife, for a whole month. im hesitant to set a goal but any amount helps. if i can get close to $100 by tuesday i can get a few things to try and last us a bit longer until the stamps refill. folks can chip in via this, this, or this, and i also have this as well. anything helps.
hate to do this again but. our partner and i are homeless multiply disabled trannies, we're burntout and barely keeping our heads above water with food and gas and we really need some help. we dont have enough money to pay for food today, much less our storage unit we've got for our things, which is due on the first and'll be $55. working doordash has been spotty and slow when i have the strength to do it which is less and less every day.
venmo and paypal are both theserenitysystem, anything helps
if i were the president of an american university and some far-right politician started rambling about God "cursing" my institution I think I'd just start talking like the villain out of a jack chick tract. "I am not afraid of your so-called God. Thanks to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution we now only worship monkeys, and communism"

I'm a trans woman in rural oregon, and my partner and I just recently (april 4) had a baby in a way that was stressful, expensive, and a bit earlier than we were expecting due to a sudden health crisis. I have recently started a new job but it is unfortunately paid monthly and I won't get my first check until May 5. My partner had to begin leave early and although Oregon does have paid leave through the state the system to actually get that process going is extremely dysfunctional and we arent expecting to be paid through that system until sometime after their leave is already over.
We're mostly doing ok and yall have helped us so much, but we did burn a few hundred dollars in gas going to 3 different hospitals in under a week, not to mention incidental expenses we dont usually accrue like takeout food and whatnot while they were hospitalized.
We're extremely grateful for everyone who has helped us thus far and please, if you've already helped us out dont feel obligated to do so again, but we are stretched fairly thin for April due to these circumstances, so any financial assistance possible would be incredible.
Sometimes I wonder what portion of authors who write transhuman-themed sci-fi started doing the "random chapter from a wildly incongruous viewpoint" thing because it's become customary in the genre, versus what portion of authors who write transhuman-themed sci-fi got into the genre in the first place because they love to head-hop and wanted to expand their options.
Like, sure, let's have a chapter from the viewpoint of the coffee machine. Why not. Apparently sapient coffee machines are a thing in this setting – it's not even metaphorical, it's straight up diegetic that the coffee machine has political opinions. The coffee machine is not a significant character, it never interacts with the main cast, and its viewpoint will never be revisited, but getting its perspective is essential to the narrative.
