I just donated to @suitac's crowdfund "HELP A CREATOR" and the story about “always being nice and hardworking” resonated. and i think karma can’t keep up with all the scammers / ppl who want to fuck you over, you specifically bc being genuine and good hearted equates to stupidity/easy prey. i’ve seen scams in many forms, a very popular artist playing the pity card to make sales, when he was already making mad bank. i have actual decks upon decks of real pity cards to layout on the table but as a person with character and integrity, i didn’t do that. haven’t to this day. every creator could use help especially ones victimized in a targeted manner by not only the client, but having a bank that doesn’t support or understand. wish i could’ve given more, but like, lol i need to start a crowdfund it’s just— i’m letting the thought/idea marinade. maybe it will saturate enough to get over my weird.. pride thing.

You said it all!! And I feel that way, it’s the first time I ask for help like this. Even to ask a friend sometimes it’s hard to me, but I saw myself with no other solution to try since I’m all by myself in another country and with no family to help. I really appreciate any help and any support, this had shown me how powerful a real community can be. Thank you 💖

being alone in a country without your family.. my mom.. omg she went through so much coming to Canada after getting married in the seventies. this city was like a ghost town, she went to a high school for English lessons, had my older brother on her own (first pregnancy) just that by itself makes simple things hard
