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 💖

aww đŸ«‚đŸ€— appreciate you for sharing your story and you seem like one of those .. few ppl left that retain humanist values while the rest of the world is in the “what’s in it for me” mentality about *everything*

It’s weird to put yourself out there that fragile, and I’m always trying to look so strong to my family, friends and everyone around me. Somehow I’ve been seen and been having really good conversations and insights after all this
