FOOD

• Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food
• grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread
• different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.
• some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

• Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment
• sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it
• Some churches offer short term residence
• Find your nearest homeless shelter
• Look for places that are open to the public
• A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

• A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.
• Public libraries have bathrooms you can use
• Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.
• Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver
• Local beaches, go for a quick swim
• Some truck stops have showers you can pay for
• Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet
• Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

• first aid kit
•  sunscreen
•  a travel alarm clock or watch
•  mylar emergency blanket
•  a backpack is a must
•  downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards
•  sleeping bag
•  travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror
•  swiss army knife
•  can opener

oh! I have to tell you guys a great story one of my professors told me. So he has a friend who is involved in these Shakespeare outreach programs where they try to bring Shakespeare and live theatre to poor and underprivileged groups and teach them about English literature and performing arts and such. On one of their tours they stopped at a young offenders institute for women and they put on a performance of Romeo and Juliet for a group of 16-17 year old girls. It was all going really well and the girls were enjoying and laughing through the first half - because really, the first half is pretty much a comedy - but as the play went on, things started to get quiet. Real quiet. Then it got up to the suicide scene and mutterings broke out and all the girls were nudging each other and looking distressed, and as this teacher observed them, he realised - they didn’t know how the play ended. These girls had never been exposed to the story of Romeo and Juliet before, something which he thought was impossible given how ubiquitous it is in our culture. I mean, the prologue even gives the ending away, but of course it doesn’t specify exactly how the whole “take their life” thing goes down, so these poor girls had no idea what to expect and were sitting there clinging to hope that Romeo would maybe sit down for a damn minute instead of murdering Paris and chugging poison - but BAM he died and they all cried out - and then Juliet WOKE UP and they SCREAMED and by the end of the play they were so upset that a brawl nearly broke out, and that’s the story of how Shakespeare nearly started a riot at a juvenile detention centre

Apparently something similar happened during a production of Much Ado at Rikers Island because a bunch of inmates wanted to beat the shit out of Claudio, which is more than fair tbh

Claudio really does need to have the shit beaten out of him, though.

I really hate doing this, but I’ve been without a job for about two months now after leaving commercial medicine for mental health reasons and my bank ended up screwing me up when it came to their billing process when some bills came in over the weekend. Basically, long story short I’m overdrafted 90 dollars once the last payment goes through after I tried to do something for myself and get away for the first time in two months. (My bank charges me 30 dollars every single time that I overdraft but as far as I can tell it considered it overdrafted the moment that the payments were queued in its billing process, putting me in the red when it was a surprise payment on something that I forgot to cancel that put me over)

I had already pawned off quite a bit of my possessions to pay for my time away, so if you have anything to spare, even a dollar, I’d very much appreciate your help. Paypal is included here and, if you’d like, any donation over 10 dollars are eligible for an icon and over 15 are eligible for bust shots. (Examples can be seen here: x x x / x x x x) This isn’t commission work, so please be mindful and patient with me, but I do appreciate anyone who is able to help me at this time.

Thank you.

GOOD NEWS: My school gave me a grant! That’s money I don’t have to pay back! Awesome!

BAD NEWS: …I lost one of my other loans and I now owe $4000 lol (the amount in the pic is on top of my previous debt)

So like. 

Emergency-ish commissions post is now EMERGENCY commissions.

Sorry to keep spamming about this, but I desperately need to both pay this off AND pay the rent. I understand if you can’t help but if you know someone looking for a commission, please send them my way? 

I am very grateful to everyone who has already signal boosted. You’re all superstars.

Hillary’s 2016 Loss prediction

Source: Trump man baby imagination.

You: missing the joke

Legit: what is the joke?

Nobody tell them. It’s their loss.

I’ve lost way too much time trying to figure out what the heck the joke is.

Some hypothesis’ I came up with:

- The joke is something to do with the concentration of hispanics in each of these states.

- The joke is something obscure and stupid.

- The joke has something to do with recent news I haven’t been paying attention to.

- The joke is that there is no joke, everybody is doing that thing where they pretend they get it to fuck with everybody else.

I’m genuinely mad right now, fuck OP.

I’m at a Loss for words here.

i’m SCREAMING HOLY SHIT
