@SingsongRaptor so glad things are going better for you <3 I hope things continue to look up
housemate - again
so apparently this time he lost his bank card and it got drained of funds. He's not going to be able to pay me back the money he already owed me, and rent looks unlikely as well.
This is after he still owed me part of the $500 he borrowed from me, so he's going to be over a grand in the hole with me at this point.
Needless to say I'm not really buying it.
If he can't make rent on the first, I'm going to need a printed bank statement to believe what he's said, and even then we can't keep this place on good vibes alone, I'll have to start looking for a new roommate if he falls any further behind.
Finally starting to feel like this 🍁

@northfolk I'd certainly be interested hearing about your writing more! As far as a tutoring group, I don't have the funds for anything like that, sadly .w.
I made this space to talk about folk history and my (oral) storytelling, which is what I've mostly focused on (aside from pet pictures).
But for a long time, my online spaces were all focused on my creative writing, something I've barely mentioned here. For various personal reasons, I got very discouraged in my writing and mostly stopped doing it, despite having got multiple steps into making it a profession.
All this to say that recently I've been flexing my #writing muscles again, and one of the things that got me back to it was being asked to tutor some kids in creative writing. I've been teaching them about a year now, and it's been such a joyful process! I'm thinking of trying to set something up for adults (beginner or experienced), with the goals of:
- approaching creative writing as a craft, with tools to learn and try and practice, not rules to abide by.
- helping people find their voice and discover what they want to do with their own writing.
- exploring story in all its forms.
- supporting people to direct their creativity with greater purpose and find joy and inspiration in community.
It's just an idea currently, but I'm wondering if anyone on here would be interested in something like that? (FWIW I'm an experienced teacher with a Creative Writing Masters, but I'm thinking in terms of faciliated skill growth more than 'lessons'.)
@lyncia Because you just told me!

Still raising funds for lawyer fees and other expenses associated with @nullagent's assault while protesting. Concussion is starting to improve but he has a lot of work to do to hold the assailant and accomplices responsible.
We have a great lead on a lawyer, next steps will go a lot smoother if we have more funds on hand and continue to get the word out!

@kalleboo Oh shit, that's awful ;; I hope he didn't lose anything irreplacable and can get back on his feet soon
Anyway, if you want to help me in these trying times (because OH BOY this car has been testing my patience), these are mi prices.

@neoluddite sorry to say I take this kind of stuff seriously :\
